Have you liberated any deathcamps, or are you just gonna be smug about everyone else who hasn’t?

Cause it seems like that would take an armed militia, and since you profess to be a member of one, that really raises the question why you haven’t liberated any deathcamps.

Stealing from the poor to give to the rich…

So much capitalism. What a free market /s

FUCK THAT!

If taxpayers pay for it, then taxpayers should receive the profits.

Why the fuck should taxpayers finance capitalist ventures that only enrich the shareholders?

Okay well most of us aren’t members of an armed militia. What’s your excuse?

Can they say they abducted him?

Why didn’t they take him to court over it? tRump has lost all the cases that companies actually took to court. The only ones who “lost” were the ones who capitulated, paid a settlement, fired the people trump didn’t like, then changed their editorial positions to comply with the party line as dictated.

No, that’s a putty knife. Spoons are elliptical and concave.

Don’t worry, you’re protected by France’s nuclear umbrella

That’s what I mean, Chevron are the vultures in this case. They didn’t chop the head off, but they’re here for the blood…

A lot of them are self-proclaimed leftists who have no practical sense of realpolitik, and are so focused on their purity tests that they’ll never put forward a viable candidate.

A lot of them bought into the tiktok propaganda that Biden and Harris were responsible for Gaza, while ignoring how much worse it would get under trump. They simply (and rabidly) accused anyone who supported the Democrats of being complicit in genocide.

This time there’s not an incumbent democrat, so hopefully the same people will blame the current administration and vote accordingly. That is, if the entire hype wasn’t socially engineered by the US’s adversaries to get trump elected so he could weaken the country…

A robust Democratic primary will also help reduce boycott voters, although some will likely always complain that the nominee isn’t perfect enough for their liking. That can’t be helped.

But at least some of the fence-sitting centrists will come out in force against trump, since it’s so obvious how shitty everything is.

So I think there’s still hope. As long as states maintain control of their own elections and keep them free and fair…

Vultures…

Dictators around the world are getting too comfortable. They’re seeing too many examples of other dictators getting away with war crimes, illegal invasions, and other atrocities.

Putin emboldened Netanyahu, Netanyahu emboldened trump, and I don’t even want to think about who’s going to feel emboldened by trump.

Rules based order, multilateralism, and international law seem to be crumbling with no enforcement. Arguably the greatest achievements of the twentieth century, disappearing like vapor…

Not really, although they want you to believe that. In reality, over a third of registered voters abstained from voting in 2024.

More people didn’t vote than voted for either candidate.

Is this why people like Elon Musk are crying about how the EU supposedly isn’t giving them enough “freedom” online?

The EU should confiscate every US-owned company’s data servers and digital infrastructure located on EU soil, just like the US did to tiktok.

And I say this as a USian…

I didn’t know all that, thanks for the explanation

That’s true, and I was hoping everyone would conveniently ignore that fact. But most of the Muslims hated by western bigots are from Arab-majority nations, and Benjamin Netanyahu certainly hates enough Arab people to be called anti-semitic nonetheless.

A lot of americans don’t even realize there are Arab Christians…

That was a lot longer than five years ago, before I was even alive. I’m talking about the major protest movement that swept Iran in 2021 if I remember correctly…

You’re right though, US meddling started the whole catastrophe that destabilized Iran. It’s really sad to think about…

How much does instance really matter? I’m new to lemmy but so far it seems like I can view content from any instance just as easily as the one my account is made on.

Also, fuck tankies

I was cheering for the “New Iran” movement about 5 years ago, and I’ll cheer for these protesters today.

The Iranian people deserve self-determination, freedom from an oppressive government, and the sovereignty to elect their own officials in a new form of government. The world will be a better place when they have it.

Let Iran become the cultural hub that it once was.
