Good thing Trump made age an issue!
  • He's going to switch his tune to something like "she's a woman and presidency is a man's job", whatever shit Trump throws towards democrats isn't meant to be 'genuine critique'. It's rule for thee not for me type of deal, and it's whats been happening for decades at this point.

  • FACT FOCUS: Heritage Foundation leader wrong to say most political violence is committed by the left
  • Even if heritage was correct and left-wing terrorism was more common, it wouldn't change the fact that left-wing terrorism is often way more moral than right-wing terrorism.

    Targetting ultra-wealthy, alt-right or similar organizations in assassinations/kidnappings/robberies is infinitely better than committing ethnically-driven murders and mass shootings.

  • Political violence
  • I love how a political party on the side of events such as Charlottesville and Jan 6 gets to now virtue signal about "being against political violence", with media pretty much staying silent and not calling them out.

  • it's that simple
  • Sure, when fascism gets far enough, the only solution against it becomes violence. However, all that accomplishes is taking down specific fascists but not fascism itself as an ideology, and it will eventually return (see: WW2 and modern day politics).

  • Maybe one day we'll experience it...
  • The thing is that the neo-conservatives don't get what they want - they instead change their stances depending on what the cult-figures want.

    For instance, before Trump republicans were open to free-trade, if you were to ask them about it they'd be like "yeah free trade is very good we always supported it", but after Trump, asking the same question would result in "protectionism is so much better and we always supported it".

    Almost as if they look at the elites for their opinions, rather than forming their own.

  • Bernie Sanders response...
  • I didn't say anything about him not deserving it - in the past, he did call for violence himself and spread hateful beliefs, which I do think makes him deserving of violence as well (since he did break the social contract, intolerance of intolerant type of deal), but my point is that if he were to die due to an assassination, it would make things worse. Even now I've seen my relatives who are brainrot-facebook-conversative types being like "he was shot because he spoke the truth", and it doesn't seem to be an uncommon sentiment.

    Sadly, it's not an easy problem to solve.

  • Bernie Sanders response...
  • The problem with taking down Fascism with violence is that you're just killing the figureheads, not the fascist ideas. Say that the assassination attempt was successful - he'd become a martyr who would strengthen those beliefs in people (they want to take us down because we're right type of deal), and his legacy would be easily continued by thousands of influential conservative politicians/foundation members.

  • European leader wonders why 'no one is asking about' Trump’s 'bizarre' ramblings: Senate Dem
  • In an interview on Wednesday night with CNN host Kaitlan Collins, Sen. Chris Coons (D-Delaware), who is now in his third term, said he had a revealing conversation with an unnamed "European head of state." That leader appeared worried about the double standard the media was applying to Biden, while largely ignoring former President Donald Trump despite his increasingly unhinged tone during press conferences and public appearances.

    The article isn't talking about regular people, but the media.

    Before your change to Linux
  • Same as you, I was somewhat already leaning towards Linux but seeing Windows 10 EOL announced around 3 years ago and seeing what new "features" are going to be implemented to Windows 11, I decided to hop ship.

    The main reason for switch was privacy concerns, got redpilled by Mental Outlaw while he was still making regular Linux videos.

  • A seemingly valid reason to stick with Biden pretty much no matter what just struck me...
  • I feel like what's more likely is Trump actually winning via election fraud, there's conservatives and people connected to conservatives getting arrested even to this year for trying to rig the previous 2020 election, and I highly doubt that they won't try that again. There's also the recent supreme court decision to make president immune from persecution for "official acts during presidency", which can be read as setting the stage for Trump's arrival.

  • French election 2024 live: exit poll shows shock win for left-green alliance as far right falls to third
  • While yes, I don't doubt that people do care about immigration and that's why they vote far-right, the point of my original comment was that a lot of this "anti-immigration" sentiment is just an easy scapegoat by the right. It's something they puff up, blame most issues on then try to get votes by promising to deal with that said issue they pretty much manufactured, while leaving actual issues that they're going to make worse unaddressed (like low minimum wages, tax cuts for the rich, weakening of workers rights, mass privatization, etc).

    Liberals (left doesn't exist in most of EU still) rarely ever vow to do anything about immigration precisely of how overblown it is, and yeah they do lose votes because of it from people who do end up believing the far-right, the "easy" answer if you will.

    And here's a fun tidbit - most of the voters who vote far-right in European countries (checked Poland and French but undoubtedly there are many more examples) come from rural regions, which are the least affected by immigration.

  • French election 2024 live: exit poll shows shock win for left-green alliance as far right falls to third
  • Immigration is legit just a scapegoat for the right and in reality isn't that big of an issue. People in France agreed as well, even though NR was only shouting about immigration (literally, it's unclear what their other policies are apart from the classic right-wing policies of lowering taxes for corporations), and also ranked #1 in polls, immigration came out 8th in the "most important issues" ranking poll.

    It's not 2016 anymore, immigration has decreased significantly since the big flood.

  • Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint
  • It's not really surprising - historically, the creation Israel state was helped massively by antisemitists, who wanted to get rid of jews in their own country and having them a place to immigrate to would be the easiest option (the phenomena is often referred to as Zionist antisemitism).

    So yeah, it does make sense - they can hate the jews, but also support Israel at the same time.

  • This has to be a joke...
  • I remember making a comment once on .ml about how a news source they linked isn't too credible, with mediafactbiascheck as source for that claim (as the site had historically gotten their news wrong), and the comment got removed for "blogspamming" or something lmao

    There's certainly a degree of powertripping going over there with the mods, and I do feel like this one is gonna be removed as well for "bigotry" against mods or something
