“Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair” - Mariame Kaba
A better world is possible for us all. Let’s build it together.
Liberals love to call people calmly explaining things with impassioned language as “being fired up” as if caring about things or speaking on them with a modicum of authority is bad.
Thanks for your meaningful contribution to this conversation lol
“Every government is just pulling on different levers and creating different flavors of the same problems”
This statement is so braindead because it ignores the INTENT behind why governments do things. It just boils all of them down to just being the same thing where all governments are trying to do the same things (which from the rest of your message must be conquest and domination if you think most countries would trade places with the US - I have to believe you are implying all the things that come along with “being America”) which is patently not true. Comparing the two largest super powers in the world right now demonstrates this clearly - the US and China have two wildly different governmental structures that are acting with wildly different intent both domestically and internationally. What are their goals? Why do they act the way they do? Why do they interact with other countries the way they do? Why do they have the problems they do? How do the policies exacerbate or relieve those issues?
Like do you think places with a lower standard of living just are like that because the people running the government just don’t give a shit for some reason? How do you think you have places where income is low but everything is affordable? Just dumb luck while governments be doing government things?
There are some constants in our world on the boundaries of class, but even then those do not manifest the same everywhere in the world because not every government treats the issue the same.
“Then you got all varieties of societal stuff” oh brother
Like I get it you didn’t drop your whole ideological world view in some Lemmy post you made taking a shit at work, but I just couldn’t help but eye roll so hard you resisted taking any kind of stance on anything. Shit just happens with no real rhyme or reason.
Ah the enlightened centrist take that succinctly avoids any kind of analysis of WHY things are the way they are. Things just are the way they are and that’s that I guess.
pushing internet lies as drama is funny or something I guess
Without much evidence? There is NO evidence.
I can only imagine downvoters are Europeans or liberals (or both) who like to imagine the world is a bunch of soverign nations working in tandem rather than the US playing with a bunch of finger puppets to push its violent agenda.
Liberals will call you sexist for not liking their politics
The UK fascists gotta get their licks in too it seems. After all they probably think she’s a terrorist or something for daring to have the courage to speak out.
Letting the government shut down is literally the only point of leverage the Dems have. This is them actually doing something for the first time in almost a year of Trump 2.0.
The alternative is just letting all the cuts the want to make in this budget go through uncontested in a complicit abdication to the fascist, patently betraying their constituency (even more than they already largely have).
You say this like it’s an own when it’s actually China flexing on us.
Ah nothing of substance to add got it
I’d love to hear one thing you think China is doing that is bad that the US is not also doing to a larger degree. Please enlighten me.
Pick any city in the Midwest and compare to any proportionally sized city in China. Like just about. Infrastructure is crumbling everywhere in this country while China has built more high speed rail than every other nation on the planet combined.
The priorities speak volumes.
Tell me you have no idea of the history of Tibet without telling me
Me posting dispelling obvious Israeli propaganda on any subreddit. Exhausting.
It is funny from a morbid perspective when you consider how complicit the Dems have been thus far. Funny in a “haha I’m crying on the inside because our country is so cooked” kinda way
Who is looking for an argument? You asked for an explanation?
