I really never go back myself, but I keep it around because first things first, there are more specific hobbyists and knowledge subreddits that still contain useful information.
Sleep apnea, vertigo, things like that where people aren’t talking politics at all, and they just want to talk about their condition and ask questions and get some help.
I still sometimes find it useful for tech questions and answers and in general might use it to look up some recommendations or reviews. But in actuality it is becoming worse and worse and worse for things like that. So I’m not sure how long that will last.
It’S tHe MoSt MoRaL aRmY iN tHe WoRlD!!!
Jesus, what an arrogant piece of shit. Even if, EVEN IF, you are someone that wants to support the Democratic Party, you have to believe that he is an arrogant piece of shit. Right?
I’ll tell you what, I might live here, but I’m no longer participating in political theater, and this is just funny now. I mean, everybody’s just shooting themselves in the foot all day long and it’s just hilarious.
That is a subtle and more correct point. Thank you for pointing that out. There is some utility in voting for a third party that at least has some chance of dismantling the system.
You’re right, there are people out there that literally say don’t vote and try to convince other people not to vote. But I think most of us are reasonable enough to understand that it really doesn’t matter if you vote, so it also doesn’t matter if you convince someone not to vote. We’re not going to vote because we think there’s no utility in it. That is that.
But the liberals are in a political game, and they need as many players as possible, and they call themselves lefties, and so they go to the lefties and say, hey, we’re on the same side, right? And we’re like, no, fuck you, go away. And they’re like, aw, please? And we’re like, no, you basically side with fascists, go away. And then they get all pissed off of with us, then they claim that we side with fascists, and it’s all a big clusterfuck.
That’s the perspective I have now that I switched from being one of those liberals to being a leftist.
Blue Maga. That’s a new one to me, makes total sense. I am gonna use that now lol.
You used an operative word there, “never”.
I don’t know your relationship with your dad, your socioeconomic status, your age, your ability to change people’s minds. Etc. But if you really think that the answer is “never”, then you have a decision to make. Whether your dad is worth maintaining a relationship with or not. Would you still spend time with your dad if you never talked politics again?
If you’re young, your dad might not have a kind of respect for your ideas compared to if you were older. That’s just how it is with parents, that will come with time. Maybe you can convince him of these ideas in 10 years, when you’re older, he’s older, and the world has gone even more to shit, And maybe he sees the systemic problems behind it.
If you’re wealthy, your dad probably has the same mentality that most people who are wealthy have, which is that they deserve everything that they have, and fuck everybody else. I don’t really know how to change those people’s minds.
If you guys are not well off, then you can try to leverage regular socioeconomic talking points. Getting him to understand that the system is rigged and that kind of stuff.
It’s important to spend our time in places that matter the most. Maybe your dad will never understand. Accept it and spend your time on other people you might know.
containership traffic through the strait fell by 67% and tanker traffic has dropped by about 50%, according to Windward, a maritime-intelligence company.
OMG, I didn’t even catch that they said it was ineffective and then said that traffic has dropped out nearly 50%.
Nothing to see here folks. We’ve only had to drastically reroute all of our ships. But, truly, nothing to see here.
Damn that copium is strong.
Something something China’s plan is just to wait for the USA to collapse something something.
Thank you, comrade!
God damn, Thank you for putting that boneheaded lib in this place.
Western libs are all confidence and no intelligence. We are the most propagandized people on the planet, and most people are so uncomfortable with the word “propaganda” that they refuse to even acknowledge its existence.
At the beginning of this conflict, I was a western ib all the same and though I didn’t speak about it online, I supported Ukraine. It took a lot of keeping my mouth shut and listening, and learning history, and just not being so over confident, to finally come to the understanding that the West is causing this problem, not trying to solve it.
Lame.ee is the fucking worst.
Thank you for being willing to speak out and being the voice of reason.
I always go back and forth on this part, because protesters with a handful of guns greatly outnumber the police with bigger guns. So, in theory, the protesters would win, but not without major losses. The police station example is a good one.
But I don’t know if it’s worth escalating until we’re actually ready to start a revolution. Any escalation will eventually be outdone by police, right? The only way we can possibly win is by sheer numbers and organizing. That would necessitate a massive amount of organizing. And until we’re ready for that, we’re just gonna get squished.
It reminds me of the BLM activity in the Pacific Northwest in 2020. I mean Seattle literally had multiple city blocks that police weren’t allowed to enter. But eventually it falls.
But I don’t know. I feel like my thoughts around this are wrong in some way. It also feels like the left has been tricked into peacefully protesting and we’re just having a hard time getting out of that.
In my local organizing, it’s pretty tough because it kind of feels like everybody is so damn hesitant to actually piss people off or be too inconvenient or something like that. Nobody wants to block a bridge or shut down a plant or anything like that because everyone is so afraid of the optics.
they are now trending back in the other direction.
There are certainly people who call themselves communist that miss this point too!
S4A sadens me, he does lots of great work turning communist texts into audiobooks, but then latches onto one aspect of china that blinds him to the truth. China used capitalism to beat the west at their own game, and now they get to change the rules.
That quote is so relevant every time a Western politician opens their stupid mouths about China.
Westoids literally think it’s Lord of the Rings there! They took the orc comments too seriously.
jokes aside I really honestly want to use this. For a while I’ve been trying to use extra context to get American AIs to understand and be more pro communist and they are just fucking trained to hate it.
To be fair they usually end up becoming neutral, but they don’t speak in a pro communist lens like I’m trying to get them to.
Super duper wish we in U$A get to use this.
Sorry, the context is confusing for me. Is this a PM who is critical to NATO’s development? Or a PM that is critical of NATO?
Was this guy pro or anti NATO?
Fantastic article comrade. You’ve taken their own argument and used it against them and with lots of evidence!
Dang, if the data on that is accurate (No reason to doubt, just saying) that’s pretty sweet.
Best of luck to them!!! Hopefully we see more good news come from Nepal and not a sudden turn to revisionism.
