She is horrific, but she isn’t as aggravating to me as Matt Miller’s fucking smirk. Especially when people were talking about U.S complicity in genocide and he just fucking smirks. That is a punch able face imo.
But Trump’s presidency is worse ofc
Wtf is this whole thing
But it’s associated in my experience with uncritical support of the USSR in the Stalinist period.
Wtffffff
I’m a Marxist Leninist, just not a campist or Stalinist tho
They also support Israel’s apartheid and occupation, they are listed on the NoThanks app.
Since they are full on Zionists and they basically use their community as a brigading attack dog I had a laugh when I saw them blue.
I use Kagi, I really like how it’s AI answer gives sources for statements.
Getting radical, but software is another example of why capitalism sucks and how a socialist system could improve things.
In the domain of software design and distribution, when these things are run by companies that need to compete for market share and profit, then it just creates so much waste with needing everything to. be subscription based and filled with ads etc.
If we didn’t have this ultra competitive market system, then people who are passionate about software could be paid to self organise around various projects and design things for long term use value and not enshittification.
Yeah I’m a Marxist as well just not that sort
I’m reading the Sprawl trilogy along with Shelved By Genre, and Gibson harps on the note that ‘the Ultra Rich aren’t human’, and has some great examples in the books.
I think he was very observant, and Musk makes it so blatant.
Yeah, took me a while to realise generational stereotypes etc. were more inflammatory culture war, as much as it often seems ‘in good spirits’.
Entelechy is a new word too ty
Ok yeah my bad abt Kosovo.
Re Afghanistan I would say 9/11 was not an act of war by Afghanistan, and more a terrorist attack by non-state actors. And the closest involved state actors were Saudi, Pakistani, and U.S moreso than Afghan anyway.
I’m sceptical about the extent to which NATO is controlled by the U.S vs. other members but I’m not too knowledgeable, but it seems at minimum U.S has outsized influence on NATO anyway, as like all the Supreme Allied commanders of Europe have been from the US I think, even though the head position of NATO has more European staff.
But yeah with article 5 and other factors it’s definitely possible Europe would defend Greenland, and I don’t think any of them would help invade it except maybe Hungary lol.
NATO isn’t really defensive.
It’s two main Engagements - Kosovo and Afghanistan - were pretty solidly offensive imo.
I saw the Hammer and Sickle on lemmy.ml and that was enough for me to know that they were probably Campists and Stalinists lol.
I guess it’s good Lemmy has the different instances(?) even tho it’s a bit annoying.
Everything from the Ranged Touch Network. Basically culture and media studies with good banter. They have:
