There's this thing called social democracy,
and almost every nation in the world has a social democratic party. The left wing of these social democratic parties tend to be full on democratic socialists.

There's a good chance that the welfare system in whatever country you live in was built by these social democratic parties and influenced by its left wing of democratic socialists.

Even in the U.S. FDR's Liberalism has been called "bootleg social democracy" by some historians, and his policies were influenced (though often more as concessions than willing adoption) of the more socialist leaning unions of his time. Even today, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party could be described as social democratic, with its leftmost members (Bernie Sanders and AOC) being democratic socialists.

Idk man democratic socialists seem to have been succeeding in doing it almost globally for a century now.

Look at the left of any social democratic party and you're bound to find some.

But you see that small socialist elite proclaims it's doing it for the working class, therefore it's okay now.

Don't look at those prisons full of attempted trade unionists pls.

It's called second campism, and it's been happening for a long time, it just used to make more sense when it could actually seem like there was two hegemonic camps during the cold war (still an oversimplistic view).

Now they just support any regime that's anti-US/the original capitalist camp because they have no hegemonic camp of their own to support, just a broad smattering of authoritarian regimes with completely different ideologies.

It's important to note this was a minority of congressional democrats, only about a quarter, still a quarter of the party too much.

Yeah? Then give me evidence of a large campaign by the U.S government to force companies to change media narrative in the past 2 decades.

Every time I've seen anything even close, the media companies have screamed bloody murder.

Disregarding the weirdest propaganda meme I have literally ever seen.

Lei Feng died of very very non-natural causes, supposedly when he was struck by a telephone pole that had been hit by a truck.

It's also worth noting that he was essentially just a caricature of the "perfect revolutionary" for the Chinese government, it's very hard to establish any historicity to any of the things attributed to him.

Did any other congresspeople do that? I'm genuinely surprised if not, few things really invoked how that moment felt better than the pictures I saw of him solemnly cleaning the capitol floors.

In the US, the government is just a figurehead for the wealthy elite.

Odd that the country supposedly being ran by a figurehead for wealthy elites is infinitely better to live in for working class people, than the supposedly completely working class inspired "socialist" country.

You never found it weird that the Chinese government cracks down harder on independent trade unionists than actual capitalists do here?

The massive difference is that even if that's true, it'd be on the corporations deciding to change narrative independently, not being forced to by the government.

Outlets like the Guardian are certainly willing to piss off the U.S. government, they were literally one of the publishers of the Snowden files.

I'm pretty sure this is happening in the US because of those pages no longer being profitable to run.

There's a big difference between that and losing chunks of the internet because of rampant censorship, something we aren't experiencing in the West/US.

And that lake used to have amazing water infrastructure and a floating city on top of it.

I really wish they hadn't drained the damn thing, maybe Mexico City could've been the Venice of the America's, but nah, Conquistador gotta Conquest

There's no quicker way to have people sounding like 13/50'ers but with dogs than to bring up pitbulls.

There's a massive massive difference between how Biden's administration has uses the security state vs how Trump tried to use it last time and will use it next time.

There's literally no point to draw an equivalence between Trump and Biden than to diminish Trump's fascism.

Oh there's many many many more than just Skywind.

There's Skywind and Skyblivion.

And then the Fallout 4 Capital Wasteland team that's been remaking the DLCs and main game of Fallout 3.

Then there's the Fallout 4 New Vegas team, which has been doing the same but for New Vegas.

Then there's the Fallout 2 remaster team mentioned in this article (Project Arroyo).

And then there's the Fallout 1 remaster team (Project Vault 13).

There's also mods being developed that are entirely new areas, such as Fallout London, Fallout Miami, and Fallout Cascadia. Along with the Elder Scrolls equivalents of Beyond Skyrim's teams, Nirn Uncharted, and Apotheosis, which aims to have all the daedric realms.

Despite any blunders Bethesda might have made, their modding community is thriving now better than ever.

Edit: Also all of these projects have Discord servers where they post regular progress updates.

No he's being pushed from the other side too.

Specifically his more centre-right coalition partners (Gantz, Gallant) are in favor of the ceasefire, and seem willing to pull coalition support if Netanyahu doesn't agree to the ceasefire.

Presumably you wouldn't stand next to a Nazi who denounces Israel's genocide.

Like Nick Fuentes and the other Nazis that have praised Hamas? No, I wouldn't, there's certainly a better way to advocate for peace than by standing next to someone who would do a Holocaust 2.0 given the chance.

Would you stand next to an Islamic fundamentalist doing the same?

Why do I have to agree with or work with Hamas to want a Palestinian State? That's like saying I have to agree with "6 million Germans" Nakam. to criticize the Holocaust.

Seems weird to be so anti-Genocide you end up supporting another Genocidal group.

I'll also grant that that Hamas probably killed a higher percentage of soldiers on Putin's 71st birthday than Israel has Hamas members since then.

This is a fucking unhinged comment, beyond you using "Putins Birthday" as a dogwhistle for October 7th. Comments like this do nothing but make the Pro-Palestinian anti-Genocide movement look pro-Hamas.

The rate of civilian to soldier deaths on October 7th are the exact same 2:1 ratio that Israel is currently being criticized for. Both governments are shit when it comes to murdering civilians and neither should be praised.

There might be lone wolf attacks here and there, but there won't be some great MAGA uprising.

Even that could turn scary though. One lone wolf attack could inspire more and those inspire even more, eventually leading us to an American Years of Lead

The Trump base has shown us how insane they are before, I don't want to underestimate what they'll do next.
