They manufacture consent, couple that with the extreme oppression and destruction of the middle class since the nixon administration and neo liberal right wing policies that doubled down on these awful ideas while actively working to subvert and undermine any movement left on meaningful social issues. We didn’t let this happen so much as we were conditioned to allow it and be too exhausted just barely surviving that we would not have any energy to actively fight and thwart a blatant class war waged against the working class and poor right in front of our eyes,
It isn’t necessarily my personal view, its what I’ve experienced empirically throughout certain forum based internet spaces
Moderates? you mean centrists? Leftists shouldn’t be moderate. A moderate leftist is a neo liberal and a neo liberal is a right leaning centrist pretending to be a leftist.
Also hamas inst a terrorist group its a liberstion resistance group. Israel was literally born of terrorism and nothing resembling radical islamic terrorism existed till the 1960’s before then from 1899 till 1948 we had the irgun hagannah palmach and lehi waging a campaign of terror responsible for dozens of violent attacks and murfering between 6 and 8 thousand Palestinian jews, Christians and muslims as well as british military personnel and other international citizens caught in the crossfire. Zionists are the true terrorists in this conflict. If you dont agree youre not on the left you’re a right leaning centrist making excuses for a settler colonial state guilty of war crimes.
Then you probably haven’t been using it the last year. I got ip banned for a comment pointing out international law relating to indigenous defense against occupation. That was 6 months before reddit nuked accounts posts and comments it didnt like regarding the luigi mangione/uhc ceo debacle.
I don’t disagree. I think what you’re proposing is indeed a more truly decentralized model.
But ultimately the real world is where we need progress and as long as the internet (and language as a whole) exists there will be actors attempting to manipulate the narrative to their benefit by any means possible.
I do think democracy can be subject to manipulation regardless of ones ideals of altruism. Sometimes people are not adequately educated and then their input into a democratic system only serves to harm the collective. It may be time for new models of governance within society and communities wherever they may exist.
I see tankie used far more as a pejorative Term for leftists (socialists, communists and or anarchists) than actually being used with any nuance to criticize authoritarian apologia One can draw parallels between capitalism’s failures and the successes of authoritarian socialist/ communist regimes without praising authoritarianism. One can also condemn authoritarianism while also acknowledging that one form of authoritarianism will be or is worse than another.
Is it space karen?
More tools. A knock off power probe, a set of wrenches, mid length metric sockets and a few more pairs of pliers from amazon.
I pretty much see any person claiming to be nakamoto wether the claim is legitimate or not to be treated exactly as they are treating this guy. Governments In collusion with the military and prison industry profiteers who control all the major financial institutions want to do whatever they want with BTC’s blockchain technology and arent about to let any pesky copyright claims become a hindrance regardless of the validity or lack thereof.
But rich people will just say no because they have to make money and its also a plus for them to dominate and abuse vulnerable women. Just like drug prohibition it fills the prisons which are slave labor and profit generation centers for them. Prohibiting drugs makes the drugs more expensive too so I would think its the same for sex work. If they legalize it however will they skim off the top and make the peasants afraid of their boot?
Ill just barbecue him in gasoline after we smoke some of that hillbilly crank.
