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?English9·24 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 graveEnglish81·26 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 graveEnglish1·26 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 graveEnglish1·26 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 graveEnglish54·26 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
alcibiades@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Wall Street Journal mocks Trump supporters for calling tariffs 'genius power play'English1·3 months agoIdk- from by (basic) understanding of capitalism, once the market is saturated you need a spacial fix in order to keep extracting profit.
I think free trade would benefit capitalist economies since it would allow for easier expansion into new markets. Correct me if I’m wrong though cause I don’t know that much about economics and theory behind all this
alcibiades@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Wall Street Journal mocks Trump supporters for calling tariffs 'genius power play'English15·3 months agoI’ve never seen anyone take the angle of Trump’s tariff policy being anti-capitalist and I don’t understand why. He’s disrupting free trade which is a foundational aspect of a global capitalist economy, why isn’t his party mad about that?
Also this article was fucking terrible
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)
