The American Empire
  • Huh. 🤔 . They do of course. https://militarybases.com/alaska I also see 9. :T well that’s annoying. Now that I look closer I do see Closed military bases on this list and the scale is absolutely horrendous. Decidedly not effective for communicating information specifically, but great for reaffirming the general you know like the US has a bunch of them and it operates troops and such out of them

    Nelson Mandela was a Terrorist
  • Well no, it saved less than a minute, and ya I agree that would usually mean less engagement, but fascinatingly by pointing it out and making that criticism real it adds complexity to the post and actually increases engagement.

  • Nelson Mandela was a Terrorist

    Like, no seriously, the state department classified him as a terrorist until like 10 years before he died. He was already a beloved figure In his modern incarnation as we remember him now way, Way way before The US federal government ever accepted that he had actually just won and was not a terrorist anymore, but a statesman.

    Cops Look Over to Execute Someone On the Street. This is Just a Daily Reality in Capitalist America
  • No, ais “learning” is modeled off of how people think, and there’s a lot of overlap between what looks like ai and what is actually a tired and stressed person trying to both do the right thing and finish anything ., at 5 am. The morning before the election.

    Saw a Horrible Thought the Other Day
  • … do you not? Are., they not? The Cold War is over, nato was formed to fight the Cold War. The taliban is in charge actually, idk if you’ve seen. The christofascist right in the US completing their coup de grace and influencing the course to end roe and beyond. … like, Yeah! All of these things are the real trends in the world and our time that the democrats need to acknowledge and build their power around addressing, but they can’t. When we say both sides are the same it’s for this. This incessant need to tie these massive societal shifts that are happening to the character and person of Donald trump.

    President Trump has the foreign policy chops of a wet noodle. The threat that trump poses is rather decidedly not from him personally.

    President Biden has been feigning weakness while fully utilizing the power of the executive office to conduct a genocide.

    Weighted in my mind with Harris’ recent comments on how she will not fight the states for passing anti-transgender laws..,

    ladies and gentlemen, variations there upon, this is where we are. The absolute best thing we can possibly hope for, is another Obama.

    So . Yeah. Fuck Neoliberal Politicians and imperialism.

    Saw a Horrible Thought the Other Day

    See, Donald trump is a twit, but he’s pretty consistent. He’ll hang around and enable evangelicals, which will make like worse at home, but for foreign policy, he does kind of just hang out and take credit for whatever direction things were already going. Uhm 😐 guys. That’s a lesser evil. Than a competent genocidaire.

  • I get where you’re coming from.

    I will say, when I’ve issued that criticism. It was not so much the lack of a need for a word for something between totalitarianism and liberal democracies, but rather the lack of equitable use of any term in that space.

  • Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?
  • if I leave it there. It’s because it’s not foul enough to warrant a ban but I don’t want to press a little green check box explicitly endorsing its existence. I have been here the whole time :/ Yal couped me

  • American Indian Genocide(s)
  • It took me an embarrassing long time to realize every single dipshit on this website that criticizes me “from the left”, is fully just a liberal. Posted up inside of a Democratic enclave in the US, who genuinely does not understand that their experience as an American might be somewhat unusual, or at least not an experience of the majority.

    Look beyond your own experiences, and learn something. You twit

    It gets upvotes and that’s actually what I really care about

  • I watched a 62 Year Old Woman Work Herself to Death
  • Okay so this story is actually a fucking doozie. This was a very good friend of mine. Right on the cusp of retirement age. She was at the age where she could take it anytime, but was continuing to work longer because she wasn’t going to get very much, and had aspirations to live a lot longer. so one of the jobs she took was this really really high intensity like 12 hours a day as many days a week as you can do standing in a factory peak season to make all of those little customizable mugs and blankets and everything that people get for each other around Christmas. She made it like three days I want to say, and and just straight up never physically recovered from that.

    Now, the doozy. I took care of her for like the nine months 10 months or so after that until she died. And the week that she died, I was in jail because I had been going around with a warrant for like two years by that point and I finally rolled a one and got pulled over.

    so like when I’m having a bad time, it really feels like the police finished the job that capitalism started.

    Anyway, I caught my breath at some point and m now fully embracing the doomed revolutionary shtick. It wasn’t a stretch. Ihave a tasteful facial scar from a police beating and everything.

  • In Capitalist America Corporations are People and Ketchup is a Vegetable
  • Oh hang on. I just checked it. It’s the memory thing. So in my lifetime it was “pizza is a vegetable” from a 2011 bill doing the same shtick, making it easier for schools to say they are doing more when they are actually being given less.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketchup_as_a_vegetable

    A similar controversy arose in 2011, when Congress passed a bill prohibiting the USDA from increasing the amount of tomato paste required to constitute a vegetable; the bill allowed pizza with two tablespoons (30 mL) of tomato paste to qualify as a vegetable.
