FUCK it's too real

Pillaging of the global south for labor and resources

Thanks Harvard Political review, I hadn't noticed

American exceptionalism gets even more nutty when things are bad

It is leftist, in a way that's so much more casual and all-encompassing than I'm used to. Lemmy communities feel like little hidden leftist saloons in the wasteland, while the culture and friendliness on rednote feels more like what a whole society of people who share leftist values should feel like. It's immensely refreshing to just look at people's art projects without alo feeling like you have to be constantly prepared to do battle against a firehose of manufactured outrage, clickbait and smug dehumanization, like on basically any American social media I see these days. The cultural exchange itself is heartwarming beyond description, and I've seen tears on both sides of it.

Folks, the bourgeoisie. They're no good, more and more people are saying it

I would like to know who exactly you think is "taking the mask off" here

All good, I found it perfectly readable

Glorifying, huh? Wow, sounds like a pretty cultisty thing to do, I'm sure you chose that word because it reflects the reality of what you see and not the very convenient reality you wish to project where everyone but the liberal is mentally ill and therefore self-evidently wrong

So let's see it: show me the glorification. After all, if it's cringe, don't you want people to see it?

Brother we've been arming and supporting a full-on ethnic extermination and bombing anyone who tries to stop it for over a year now. We're past flirting with fascism, we've bought a dog and moved onto a studio apartment with fascism. Fascism is making us coffee and thinking about opening an Etsy store to sell all the gold tooth fillings.

Seeing "literally" used this way, not as a descriptor but as a seasoning on vibes-based panic, always tickles me

TIL if someone's saying something that doesn't agree with your worldview then that person must be an LLM.

Wow, that must be a frustrating thing to experience over and over and over and over and over. You have my sympathy as a comminist on the internet, who could only imagine such treatment

My own father asked me unironically if I was a "Chinese sympathizer" over dinner last night, and that was not the end of it.

Perceived weak points, huh? So the brutal genocide of Gaza is just a little whoopsie that we should.move past? Fuck no. This isn't weakness or a mistake, this is America pulling off the mask, and anyone making excuses for it this late in the game is close enough to a fascist as makes no difference.

Red fash tankie is when you don't want these guys to get more tanks. Something something 1984 doublespeak

Saddam's WMDs

What war is China supposedly involved in?
