That's very interesting, thanks. The whole tone of the second article seems so much different than how we talk about our "democracy" in Canada, where I am from. We talk about it here as a form of prestige ("Canada is so good, we're democratic, unlike those Asian countries"), where that article made it sound like they were celebrating how it helps the people. At least that's my vibe.

Now that I think of it, I have no idea how their governance works. We're just sorta guided to think the communist party gets together for dinner and decides what everyone has to make for lunch on Thursdays lol. Probably interesting to look into!

B-B-Bbut I thought Biden was going to stop the fascism? If the vote is for slow descent into fascism and literal fascism, does the vote really matter? There's gotta be something better, man. Very disheartening.

China is also leading the renewable push, and has made massive innovations in participatory democracy.

Anywhere I can read about this?

If voting stopped corruption there would no longer be corruption.

Maybe just redistribute some wealth? The richest nation in the world can afford to home everyone. Homelessness is a policy decision.

It seems directly related to me. If the US government is fine with slave labour at home, then this decision is really only because the companies sanctioned are Chinese.

I had a guy tell me the US doesn't meddle in Central or South America anymore. 🤔

You mean your mom didn't tell you to read all the news littleblue on lemmy reads? Must have a different upbringing.

I don't think I wanna ask the US "congressional research service" about the effects of US imperialism. Something tells me they have a bias, but I can't quite put my finger on why.

USA doesn’t control the source of the problem, which are random-ass civil wars that occur in Central America or South America.

Interesting, if largely incorrect opinion.

"please vote for me... NO DON'T LOOK AT THAT GENOCIDE I'M DOING.. just vote pls"

I dunno. Epstein was pretty high profile (and it might not have worked out great for him, either), but a former president is really high profile. I have no idea how they would handle it, but if we're lucky enough to see it, it'll be quite interesting for sure

Ah that's probably true. He's rich and white enough to end up in a resort prison, I'm sure.

I get what you're saying, but I think without that protection it's pretty likely he'd be killed in prison.

It's really unfortunate. Wonder if there will be a workaround or if that's even possible. I'm not keeping a windows boot just for League of Legends tbh

Stop knocking my water glass off my nightstand!!

Maybe you were just being an ass?

I'm not sure if background playback is a thing on iPhone, but if it is I'd run https://mynoise.net/ in the background for the white noise

In Factorio the player is the tanks. We're the baddies in that game

Are we the baddies?
