At least you have some say in accountability for the US government, in theory at least.

Where is your evidence of this?

Fuck Discord

Why should I care when the US government doesn’t give a shit about protecting me from US companies?

has anyone checked to see if Jeffries is an actual player and not a bot account?

I am a child of the generation obliterated by half solutions and illusions of reform, I don’t disagree with you in general but in some specific situations such as this I wholeheartedly believe temporary insufficient solutions that participate in a collective delusion of longterm viability are extremely dangerous and inevitably produce suffocating cynicism in people.

I think a lot of them moved to bluesky

facepalm

Yeah sorry I thought it was cool tech but you are right when I read it again.

The lemmy.world mods were totally happily stomping on the narrative that Biden was directly enabling the Palestinian Genocide. It took until Trump was elected for them to start quietly backing off from an enforced naivete they were previously happy to maintain a “blue maga” response to where any criticism of Biden meant you were a Russian bot or something.

If Biden was elected again we would still be fighting this battle against empty neoliberal centrists dismissing evidence of the genocide as a distraction/character assassination done to benefit Republicans.

The NYT is a honeytrap for liberals who can’t admit they are conservatives that feeds its victims whatever narrative the 1% desire, which in this case is sweeping the Epstein files underneath the rug and desperately ignoring the massive role of Israel in this.

I said it in another thread but I’ll repeat it here, marijuana is illegal for racist and classist reasons, Trump is maximally racist and classist.

It doesn’t matter if it would benefit him, he will never do it.

Yeah, someone let those nerds in.

When asked for comment, Chuck Shumer condescendingly retorted “the Ultimate Response we have here is to give more weapons to Israel”

The DNC is controlled opposition and the fact that centrists are in denial about it puts all of us in great peril.

No, what you describe is being utterly derailed in your understanding of people by the distractions rightwing billionaires dangle infront of us to keep us from having a real conversation about why we are all suffering.

The reason we have so much extremism today is people are more desperate and angry, not that strangers on the internet validating one another.

I have a message for Newsom: You Have No Chance

Don’t die too quick, scumbag

People who unironically use that word in a derogatory fashion sound like those who still believe in things like the disney portrayal of the world.

Weird cus that is exactly how centrists sound to everybody else lol

They have managed to make being rational and level-headed a curse word. "

No, it is conservatives that despise rationality and level-headedness and it is precisely centrists that sat by and let this mode of thinking proliferate even as leftists were sounding the alarm.

Centrists were busy wringing their hands in nervousness about all the things conservatives told them about leftists and barely noticed when January 6th happened. This pattern can be demonstrated ad naseum across modern neoliberal societies.

You are mistaking a worship of the status quo with a sense of reasonableness and a desire for justice and equality.
