I mean even if they get offered loads to make racist dogwhistles they still can choose not to draw them - plus I doubt somebody pays her to keep wanting to say the n-word on xitter

I mean whatever helps you goon at night but if racists were cheering me on I'd reevaluate my priorities..

Amazingly well articulated!! I've raised a post in the centuriichan sub to try and scrub this shitstain off Lemmy and wish I could link to this post and your comment but hexbear defederation sucks major ass

looking at how even the horses are disobeying being forced to harm people - we can conclude that calling cops animals is not appropriate - ghouls and psychopaths seems more adequate but don't let me stop you from listing all other fitting names you can think of:

"In North Korea the great leader doesn't let you wear ear protection when you go to a social gathering because they hate people who can hear"

huh? this is a novel hybrid binary + stochastic processor that has nothing do to do with ternary computation

human rights are not just based on what the law says..

if a community that had an unwritten custom that everyone could access the village well, and then a new ruler passed a law restricting certain people from the well, would you say no rights were violated since well access was never legally codified?

unless of course you're a feudalist/capitalist that supports the commons enclosures or the Highland "clearances"..

Later in the episode, the pair discussed West’s diamond-encrusted swastika necklace. Earlier this year, the rapper sold swastika T-shirts on his site.”

“You know a Jew sold him that,” said Rogan of the necklace, to which Segura responded “probably.”

How did you find out about Lemmy? It seems it's mostly a niche place for tech nerds and commies and you don't seem to be either? Also what keeps you here? Wouldn't the NPD push you towards more popular platforms?

Sorry for asking so many questions - your experience sounds very unique and you actually seem very eloquent and thoughtful.

this looks kinda bad no? I mean electric/hybrids are better than gas/diesel but they are still worse than public transit so the growing trend of more cars is kinda sad

uhm you do understand that's literally what the meme is talking about right?

leftists generally don't vote for dems - serious leftists aren't anti-gun neocons - most are marxists-leninists, anarchists, maoists, anti-imperialists, etc - which very much recognize the need for individuals being able to defend themselves and their communities (look at the Black Panthers for an example)

the fact that you think "left=gun control" only shows the state of political discourse and the impenetrable wool that's been pulled in front of your eyes.

note: this obvs doesn't mean that leftists would have voted for trump because of his promises of laxed gun control (since that would be single-issue voting and you'd have to gloss over him being a racist, bigoted, capitalistic skid mark) but maybe if gun control was the sole reason you would vote for him but had a real leftist party that was pro-gun you might have gone for them instead (unless you agree with his hateful rhetoric ofc)

One of the recent climate papers on the topic (from accredited researchers but not yet peer reviewed) estimates "The earliest year (mean 10% percentile level) for a potential AMOC collapse is 2037 and the latest year (mean 90% percentile level) is 2064" and "Applying the same procedure to SODA and GLORYS results in 91% and 92% collapse probabilities before 2050, respectively" - which if proven to be even remotely true is not just concerning but actually apocalyptical - it means mainland Europe might begin seeing +40 summers and -20 winters in the next 20-30 years - which makes it practically impossible to develop infrastructure in that timeframe that can survive such harsh temperature swings.

For anyone that has kids or is under 30 and plans on trying to survive - as preppy as it might sound - I would recommend starting to think about underground dwellings and controlled environment hydroponic gardening asap.

I think both can be true - strategically voting for dems is still a conscious choice to vote for a party that supports foreign genocide.

Like in the trolley problem - you can decide to kill less people but you're still a murderer either way - and because your hand was forced you can then spend the rest of your life using the guilt to figure out who tied those people to the tracks and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.

My fear is that the bread and circus that the dems are selling is too comfortable so people wouldn't feel the need to rise up in arms against the system since "they haven't come for them yet" - but so long as blue voters always remember they have blood on their hands and feel remorseful about the choice they made - that can be channeled into positive change via direct action.

When people in hamsterballs is a more space efficient way of transporting people than cars are smh

As I replied to the commenter above - I'm not telling anyone to not vote for whoever they think has the highest chance of minimizing harm - just don't rely on voting being the only way to exercise your opinion (as some people have claimed is the only power they have left) - if you remember that voting blue is a just a short term strategy to prevent orange man from getting in and fucking shit up - do it. But don't forget that voting is only the beginning - and until we have tens of millions out on the streets protesting against the Dems being okay with literal genocide - nothing will change for the better.

We can't have our freedoms be won on the backs of bombing children - it wasn't okay when Obama did it - it's not okay now.

Again, vote for the lesser evil - just don't forget they're evil and even after the election cycle is over continue to employ direct action to force the complicit ruling class into actually doing something - instead of being able to rely on "vote blue no matter who" voters to get elected year after year while they're slowing sliding to the right trying to win over conservatives.

Some of my rights have already been taken away under the current Supreme Court and I’m not willing to risk the rights of myself and others for the sake of some self-righteous quest.

Finally, I respect you for going mask off - you're not willing to lose your freedom for somebody outside your country - you believe your lives cost more than theirs and doing anything that puts you at risk is not worthwhile.

We can’t completely dismantle the system in a week so what else can we do right now?

Have you tried taking direct action against weapon manufacturers? Going to Harris rallies and calling her out for supporting genocide? Convincing others to take drastic measures instead of just voting for the lesser evil? Those are small things that actually help dismantle the system - voting doesn't.
