alcibiades@lemm.eetoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•One party deserves criticism for being insufficient. One party deserves nothing but scorn and opposition.English51·8 days agoI agree. Both democrats and republicans pledge allegiance to capitalism above all else. This simply is not sustainable.
This is also why education and historical literacy is so important. If more people knew how that America is only successful because of (majority) socialist policies like the New Deal and Great Society then there will be more widespread support for a reinvigoration of them.
I think legacy media and centralized social media have dumbed down our populace to a point that they don’t even realize there is a way out. Everyone in the 99% stands to benefit from radical change.

It’s lowk a quality of life thing yknow. imo it’s just a good thing to know so you aren’t entirely reliant on the calculator for an answer.

alcibiades@lemm.eeto /r/50501 Mirror@50501.chat•Turnout for Hands Off protest on April 5thEnglish5·16 days agoNot surprising. AP always reports what happened. Not saying they’re unbiased and don’t receive support from the ultra-wealthy, but them and Reuters are always reliable sources
alcibiades@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?English12·16 days agoYeah it makes you drive a lot slower which is inherently safer than drunk driving (even though you’re still under the influence). In my experience, I tend to have way too much fun drunk driving. High driving I’m either a little paranoid or chilled out so I’m driving safe. Drunk driving I get excited and do stupid shit.
Lowk I think the issue is when you’re an alcoholic cause you get complacent. An infrequent drunk driver is still a little on edge and doesn’t want to fuck up. An alcoholic drunk driver thinks it’s normal to drunk drive

alcibiades@lemm.eeOPto Meta (lemm.ee)@lemm.ee•Why the fediverse chick chopped asl 😭English26·20 days agoI know bro that’s why I’m asking the question. Like if I’m running a scam where someone is supposed to fall for a pretty girl, I’m gonna use a picture of a pretty girl. The fediverse chick is not it
people don’t realize (and don’t care) there’s an alternative. The point of the reddit app is to make it as easy as possible for someone to access and consume content. I realize it takes literally seconds to set up a lemmy account but it requires way more thinking to interact with this platform than being spoon fed from an algorithm
alcibiades@lemm.eeOPto politics @lemmy.world•Why does Trump and his administration want to deport so many immigrants?English9·21 days agoYeah it just surprises me that so called capitalists and billionaires would put racism above money. Especially since illegal immigrants are working for basically no pay. Maybe they have an end goal where the disposable work force is entirely black ie return to slavery or close to it
alcibiades@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza medics killed by Israel found handcuffed and shot in mass graveEnglish81·23 days agoAhh that makes the comment I was replying to make way more sense. Didn’t fully realize the extent to which Israel is founded on ethnic superiority
alcibiades@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza medics killed by Israel found handcuffed and shot in mass graveEnglish1·23 days agoHonestly I’m ill-informed on christofascism, where should I read up on it?
I didn’t think the republicans that have control over our relations to Israel would be ardent on fulfilling biblical narratives. I thought they use Christianity as an excuse and a tool to garner support among uneducated protestants. The typical republican lawmaker doesn’t understand or follow Christian scripture
alcibiades@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza medics killed by Israel found handcuffed and shot in mass graveEnglish1·23 days agoKind of unrelated but where do you get your point about republicans wanting to deport Jews to Israel? I’ve never thought about it that way. I thought (in very basic terms) both democrats and republicans supported Israel because it’s a strategic location in the middle east and it’s profitable.
alcibiades@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza medics killed by Israel found handcuffed and shot in mass graveEnglish54·23 days agoIsrael is only 75% Jewish 🤷
Obviously they’re trying to be an ethnostate and like to commit genocide. But it’s not like they’re doing that purely bc it’s only one group of people within their borders.

alcibiades@lemm.eeto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Definitely didn't waste half an hour making thisEnglish2·1 month agoBlackwings feel like writing with a pen it’s absurd. Plus they look great
That’s capitalism for you.
I think those gilded age people were still basing their beliefs on a very old idea of what wealth is supposed to be. The elite of Ancient Greece and Rome who would often fund public works projects. The gilded age industrialists really wanted to show the rest of the world how powerful they were. America wasn’t the same global power it was today and they were proving to the “old world” that they could rival them in beauty and wealth.
Modern billionaires have started to realize that if they controlled the government more than their predecessors, they could make more money. Their version of public works, museums, and gardens is a restructure of their role in society so they can become kings.
alcibiades@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Man whose daughter died from measles stands by failure to vaccinate her: "The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust"English2·1 month agoWhy does that matter 😭 you just instantly went to assuming my beliefs instead of saying something constructive.
All I’m trying to say is that the Mennonites aren’t as evil as you think. Please research them to form an actual opinion instead of reading one measles article and then attempting to debate me.
If you’re trying to go after religions for being a blight on society, Mennonites are the last and least influential place to look
If anything they’re getting more tourism after the camps. Obviously now they’ve evolved beyond just housing Salvadorans, but their initial installation made the country a lot safer (at the cost of authoritarianism and unfair policing. Not trying to justify them, but the country is “technically” safer)
