  • Honestly, tokenism is a good place to start.

    Realistically, there is no political majority in the USA to go further. The progressive caucus is only about 10% of the House.

    That's enough to have influence, but not enough to drive policy.

    But over time, the movement grows.

  • Bad take.

    A regional conflict in our backyard will greatly impact Europe.

    Just look at what the Syrian civil war and Iraq/Afghan wars did and how the resulting refugee problem impacted Europe.

    Now imagine that times five if Iran and Israel get sucked in a war with Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq in the crossfire.

  • Dude, I fully agree.

    My eyes have really been opened.

    Anti-muslim sentiment has been going on for a really long time. I thought it was just a few racist uncles who overreacted to 9/11.

    But now that the propaganda and suppression is in full swing, it's become abundantly clear. It's not just normal people, it's a coordinated disinformation campaign.

    Lemmy is still a relatively safe and reasonable space.

  • A few days ago, a mildly critical comment of mine against Netanyahu was removed by the lemmy.world mods.

    I said something like, both Netanyahu and Hamas want this war. Not too controversial, I would think.

    It was in a thread on lemmy.ml

    Anyway, I ditched my lemmy.world account and made this alt my main.

    But yeah, the bots and propagandists have found lemmy, too. They seem to be focussing on the bigger instances.

  • The US allegedly spent a billion dollars intercepting these missiles.

    Meanwhile, Ukraine is all out of air defense and only Germany seems to be sending an extra patriot on the short-term.

    As a European, I think the wakeup call is to start taking European security more seriously, since the USA seems to have other priorities.
