You better believe it!

Yeah, I'm viking by birth (born, raised, umpteenth generation Scandinavian) but am a far left anticapitalist and anti-authoritarian pacifist 😁

Which is a fucking abomination!

Speaking as an elder millennial who has had both, I don't miss flow tv at all. The only thing I ever watch live is sports, usually only Liverpool matches, which I mute and tab away from during half time commercials.

In fact, if I come across an unskippable ad, I stop using whatever app/site/radish subjected me to it immediately.

dont hate the player, hate the game.

Awful expression. If you're playing an abusive game on purpose, you're still being abusive. I'll hate both, thankyouverymuch.

I found out why they want to get rid of them fast. They're actually ice sculptures disguised as books!

They work in government during a fascist takeover so probably not even that once the rot spreads further into local government 😮‍💨

Guess she got an inflated sense of her own influence when the Dem leadership used her as an excuse to not raise the minimum wage a few years ago.

The Parliamentarian of the United States Senate is a purely advisory role.

To expect fascists to follow procedure to the detriment of their agenda when nobody is forcing them to is peak Neoliberal delusion.

I like that the Mango Mussolini is mostly out of frame 🤷

Might be a binary (1, 0) moth 🤷

Or maybe you have too few.

This is probably just them trying to wag the dog to drum up support for their war crimes.

That guy has the weirdest job 😄

the Democrats are pushing a sex pest

Which one of them do you mean? Clinton or Cuomo?

who killed people during Covid

Ah ok, must be Cuomo. ALTHOUGH..do we REALLY know what Bill was up to in the forests of upstate New York in 2020? 🤔

As a Lego German, I approve 😄

..ok? 🤷

I was referring to the fungible nature of oppression, assuming that you're against oppression itself rather than just the specific oppressors who may or may not find out.

My apologies for the misunderstanding if you do NOT in fact care whether or not oppression will be decreased as a result of this fresh batch of war crimes.

It can be a just cause and terrorism at the same time.

For example, Nelson Mandela and others used textbook terroristic tactics to defeat the SA Apartheid regime, making them terrorists.

Whether or not the objectively just ends justify the means in the cases of South Africa, Palestine, and other oppressed is separate from whether or not the means qualify as terrorism.

For the record, I don't personally believe that terrorism is justified when there's any other way to fight back against your oppression, but am with you in not condemning the oppressed when there isn't.

Also, the military actions of Israel and the US in the Middle East are themselves textbook cases of state terrorism, which this will ALSO be an increase of.

That's not how it works. Oppressors dethroned by US meddling (whether military, intelligence, or a combination of both) will always be replaced by other oppressors and/or civil war sooner or later.

There's literally no upside to this imperialist mess for regular people of any involved country.

SUPER lucrative for arms dealers, mercenaries, and the politicians they own, though.
