Yeah to be fair some people will have a problem with it and some won’t. I think it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.

Both the US and China have legitimate security interests that are at odds with each other.

I guess everything is relative. I should have clarified that I meant China is a threat to America’s dominance of the world stage.

Russia is certainly a regional threat but countries invade and dominate other countries in their sphere of influence all the time. Russia does not have what it takes to dominate on a world stage like they did after World War 2. Their economy is weak, as is their military.

What does race have to do with it?

The US status as a hegemony.

With India on the rise as well I think we are transitioning into a pre-WW1 like multipolar balance of power which could slide into WW3. Safest option would be China and the US dominate everyone else and we get another Cold War, but we will see.

TIL…

okay but on the other hand
have you tried ice cream???

Pay off my debt, give 10 million to churches and charities of my choice, give a million to my parents and another million to my in-laws, give myself a million, and take the remaining 87 million and start a non-profit that aims to fight climate change and eradicate world hunger.

Russia has been a third world nation since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Politicians just like to use the Russian boogeyman to scare people who remember the Cold War. Putin may be a monster, but China is the real threat.

This comic makes no sense. The guy isn’t wearing pants.

If there were a lot more conservatives or libertarians, the OP might not think there are a lot of communist posters here. Because there are a lot of left leaning people here who upvote anti-capitalist posts and comments, it is easy for the OP to reach the conclusion that there are a lot of communists. My three points explain 1) why the platform was already predisposed towards leftist thought in general, 2 and 3) why there are not a lot of right leaning ideas to balance out the ratio.

1. Tankies made the software.
2. Conservatives left Reddit after The Donald got banned, and the bulk of the users on Lemmy came from Reddit.
3. Libertarians are busy arguing over New Hampshire's twitter.

I yearn to be free

To plant a tall tree

Or maybe five or fifty

A greener world would be nifty

/

Power corrupts

So why should we bother

With coups so abrupt

And Dictator Father?

/

Yet democracy still

Gives me a chill

Tyranny of the masses

Why the rose colored glasses?

/

Corporate greed

Is not immune

From society's bleed

Into authoritarian noon

/

So what, then? A king?

Or anarchy's kiss?

How do we give up the bling?

Live a life full of bliss?

/

The truth lies inside

The life we observe

Is the one that we chose

And thus, what we deserve

/

If we want to be free

Change from a few's not enough

Not just a million and three

But collectively, all of us

are you kidding me???? if you think we are going to let heroines on the street ya got another thing comin bubs

Big media doing what big media does best.

Government doing what government does best… stifling innovation in the name of “protecting our children” while heroin dealers go free on the streets. Utter nonsense!!

edit: spelling, thanks @argv_minus_one@beehaw.org

I miss TVTome!!

Maybe sounds like In The Break by Jack López…?

Mine would have to be Penpal.
