someone needs to do a new downfall re-sub

great.

the same people trying to kill section 230

I think a lot of people stopped listening to the rad libs like Maddow and became disaffected from the Democrats since then. those folks are (at least around me) engaging in more radical acts of resistance than the marching-and-shouting that dominated the public actions of that time. so while buttegieg probably hasn’t shifted much, and might think he’s still talking to those same people, many of them are no longer listening.

I think his audience has shifted

2018 was a different time

tale as old as time

I didn’t see this film until the 2010s, and I couldn’t believe how accurately it lampooned my local scene.

just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s worthless, and charging for content doesn’t make it valuable

nobody is going to want to create new content when they get paid nothing or almost nothing for doing so.

that’s a lie

my mistake. carry on.

people are giving you way too much grief about other things, but you are most definitely monetizing the site.

zionists who want a chance to sue for discrimination. imagine their shock if their entire class shows up wearing Israeli flags etc. the disappointment.

‘Genocide Joe’ was an alt-right psyop

this claim requires evidence. who, when, where?

thank God

wanna fite?

^ This is what forum sliding looks like disguised as progressive concern.

no, it’s not.

Fuck every one of you and I’m not putting in any more effort to keep the shit out of lemmy

thank God

what i’m reading is that being joining the military as a trans person is a hack to get medical care. that’s universally true; a lot of poor people have considered joining the military for healthcare (and other) benefits.

but queerness is axiomatically incompatible with the US military.

it sux, for ppl who were counting on it, that the option is gone. i’m sympathetic. but, like, fuck the pentagon.

queerness should preclude military service for the hegemonic empire. if the USA were kurdistan, i’d consider a nuanced view. since we live under pax americana (whatever that’s worth), no one who is queer should be anywhere near it’s military.

Russia? Insane dictatorship with rather infamous harsh policing. You disagree, you die. China? Same. Cuba? Same though arguably the least worst of all, still shit

none of those are classless, moneyless, stateless societies.

You’re the one claiming it will

I don’t think I did.

it won’t scale

you can’t prove this

communism, it requires you to kill a lot of people and basically become a dictatorship.

communism is a stateless classless moneyless society. it can’t be a dictatorship.

I don’t think you know what you are talking about
