These so called “far lefties” have a hard time answering if u bring up that the Zapatistas, for example (the Spanish anarchists, u know, actual far lefties), list as second on their list of tenets (paraphrased) making conditions more tolerable under the current system while it lasts.
Typically far left parties still participate in electoral politics; its easier to accomplish leftist goals when the proles still have breathing room underneath the authoritarian boot.
Well yeah, project 2025 is backed by the heritage foundation.
Hit the nail on the head. Theres been noticeable push back these last 2 months, but i expect worse as we edge closer to november.
They also completely ignore bringing the Ukrainian genocide when its brought up, even though russia has repeatedly now called them a stepping stone in denazifying Eastern Europe.
For all of Status Quo Joe’s issues (and theres a million) he still doesnt compare to trump (and his billions of issues) in terms of how much damage they can do/are doing to the country and the planet as a whole.
Based and breadpilled.
That first sentence is what I love about Linux bros. For all the supposed gatekeeping and pretentiousness that goes on in these circles, i find this to be much more representative of my experience. As i said elsewhere in the thread, im really not very well versed in all that Linux is/can be. And yet, somehow someway, ive never really felt put down for it when seeking help.
Before this comment, i honestly didnt know there could be such preferences to ur package managers.
Saaaame. Been using Mint almost exclusively for 5-10 yrs and i still feel like im playing in the wading pool of what u can do with it. I learn more as I need to, and generally enjoy that process. I always feel super satisfied with myself when i use the terminal, even if its sudo apt-get install Firefox.
Almost like humans find cooperation is healthier than competition on the whole…
FOSS til i die, please.
“Wahhh why is no one giving up like me wahhh!”
Agreed. One wants to let “stepping stone” Ukraine get genocided along with the queer folk in our own country while taking away our right to put who we want in power next time.
All these guys replying to me are. If u got to see my comment listing their names before it got pulled u could see if maybe u recognize those too. Highly recommend tagging them.
Eta: correction, might not have been that comment the automod msged me about.
Did u miss the 3001 “trolley problem” posts circulating a month ago?
Literally the comment u replied mentions a kgb defector talking about it. I recognize u too. Ur always around to pretend russian talking points dont exist on this platform.
Keep ignoring the rest of what i said. But im getting the same usual suspect coming from nowhere replying. Its all always the same.
“Theyre all the same” finally got pushback, and now yall pretend like that was never here to discredit anyone bringing it up. If it didnt exist, it wouldnt be brought up.
Dude i dont follow u what the fuck are you talking about lol
But i always see u crop up for moments like this when someone calls out lemmy shills
Lol by sifting thru entire accounts and ignoring what i said about their shifting the public view towards where American adversaries want it? But u seem very keen on defending their entire post history… hmmm.
Also nudding whos crawled out of the woodwork. And they have, but the bulk of their work is spamming only the news they want u to see.
Ooh, been a while since i seen u! Let out of the gulag recently? I guess calling out the shills still works to bring u runnin by with ur bot friends to rain downvotes on what were upvoted comment before yall arrived.
Keep ur eyes peeled folks.
I left a reply to the other reply under ur comment, if ur curious to hear me elaborate on the patterns im describing. As u stated, it is not good faith criticism that im railing against. Theres not a person i know who doesnt criticize Biden, but thats not what im afraid of here.
Its bc what i was describing won me tons of bans on reddit post API changes, and then was the first thing I noticed here on lemmy on literally day 1 of making an account. The pushback at the moment is real, but take note how you hardly hear the world news subs talk about Ukraine being genocided, but you only hear about Gaza, even though the casualty count in Ukraine is much higher. The Gaza posting is relentless, too. Almost like its a distraction from the place that russia has described as a steppingstone multiple times now.
Ive been furious at israel for over half my life. Even before they started gunning the strip down, they were an apartheid state cramming as many political prisoners as they could into their jail cells. Somehow tho, that went from being a fringe opinion to all u hear about overnight. Accounts link the ones i listed in another cpmment spam post anything and everything they cant to keep the eyes of the public where they need to be. Its no coincidence that this aligns perfectly with russian goals.
Meanwhile, weve got Status Quo Joe following up on 70 years of precedent and selling arms to whats been a key middle eastern ally of the States, and everyone acts all shocked pikachu that we dont get to just shit on our worldwide softpowers and convince our remaining allies who are very wary of our continued political instability that we may just abandon them too, if only the tides swing the other way. The genocide in Gaza will not be stopped, but for the first time in my life the man in the oval office is actually dishing out criticism of israel and stood behind Schumer when he aaid israel could use new untimely elections over this.
In the other corner, youve a man who doesnt want any more free elections in the country, rubs shoulders with dictators of countries that want nothing more than for the US to be utterly ruined, and actively campaigns on allowing not just the ongoing genocides to continue, but also genociding our own, native vulnerable groups.
In 2016 id bring up the russian trolls/shills to some who claimed “nonsense, not here on reddit,” or the comments sections of whatever news it was they followed. And yet, we still learned after the fact that almost every account in the country had directly interacted with russian bots at some point or another. Id like to be clear, russias MO of deculturalizing and destabilizing countries has been pretty consistent for centuries now. I recommend watching that 1980s interview with the KGB defector that floated around reddit some years back. It outlines that bit pretty well.
What i rant about is hardly a strawman. Its pushing back against narratives that seek our end.
Also note that they ignore the Ukranian genocide out of habit. Bc it doesnt please daddy vlad to have it acknowledged.
