Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

An oligarchy is what America has been for over a decade now officially. Every politician is bought and sold, told to vote on every bill by the companies lobbyists that line their pockets. Every vote is controlled by mass propaganda on every network and every corporate social media.

But we’re a democracy, right?

After that, we can worry about not screwing with other countries so much, hopefully.

Guess what NATO does?

Holy shit you are the biggest moron on your instance.

I assume most people haven’t had physical contact with a politician. I’m probably one of the few in my area, let alone entire state who actively has met with local politicians.

But I’ve had encounters with cops, even without them being called. They’re always the make whiney pissy people.

But politicians shape the will of the state, and the cops enforce the will of the state. I think it’ll be decades before people honestly consider that the party that promises them the moon just to get richer in office doesn’t even know their name, let alone actually care about the people who got them into office.

Well my Fire TV has a Jellyfin app that’s letting me watch shows not in streaming services or is impossible to get in my home country due to copyright.

Anyone else know the other apps that help make Amazon the ire of copyright?

I don’t even know what you’re saying. Is this anti-money, anti-government, anti-technology…

Do the following cross the line?

Yes, you know this.

Is this specific to Israel or are genocide of Armenians, Uyghurs, Rohingya, and others covered as well?

You don’t care about them until its convenient to do so.

Was. Newsom is a Democrat.

Yes it was. California had a Republican in charge the people liked and kept around. Only really because he was an actor.

If Schwarzenegger was a random nobody, he wouldn’t have won the recall.

Reminder that even Democrats banned it and “commie hellhole” California had its governor veto it.

So this was proposed by the Wichita mayor under the guise that RCV was too complicated for people to understand, and likely kelly signed the ban because of fear she might lose her minor majority. Total fucking bullshit politics as usual.

Sounds like them. Capitulating to Republicans because of fear.

Yes, I’m just saying making Republicans do extra work is good.

Did she veto it?

“You don’t understand, the people working on the Death Star just had a job to do and to follow its orders. It’s not any one of their fault that it blew up planets. RIP the brave workers on the Death Star I and Death Star II.”

Small niche where the user is active, big international service that everyone uses that has zero connections to them.

Gee I wonder why people are talking about lemmy.world

“Tankies are a serious threat to domestic and international politics. Please ignore that only 1% of all people know what that is. Also let us actively keep a terrorist and retroactively remove their comments before it became news, because the FBI made us.”

Holy shit, that is just pure racism. Good way to prove their point, you dingus.

I mean lemmy.world aims to be Reddit 2, and reddit had jailbait, fatpeoplehate, the_donald, keeps Gamergate subreddits open, r/conspiracy, and so many more horrid things kept up because it made more clicks.

So why wouldn’t lemmy.world keep an active terrorist on board? Think of the potential money to be made.

While Kansas has a Democratic governor, I wouldn’t call it a blue state.

Ah so the one time it happened it doesn’t count.

If you want my personal opinion, it depends on how you want lemmy.

.ml is held by Marxist-Leninists. Most users there aren’t, but if you care about that, its either for you or isn’t for you.

.world is held by centrist liberals. Most users don’t care about that, but if it matters to you, there ya go.

My instance is for anarchists. There’s ones for queer people. Or people who speak German. Or Italian. Or French. Some are made for being NSFW, some are made to shitpost, some are isolated by choice or massively de-federated.

But most instances don’t care who you are or why you’re on it, just don’t break the rules.

So far lemmy.cafe lemmy.zip sopuli.xyz all seem fine, I don’t recall a constant issue with the userbase.
