it's telling how this revelation gets such little airtime or attention given that it was the central reason why kamala lost the election; not even on lemmy.
The erosion we are creating to our countries’ institutions is spiraling out of control and parties like AfD, Reform UK, etc are not the cause, but the symptoms of disfranchising large amounts of people from many years on the making...
very true and afd and reform exist to take advantage of it for their own goals like maga does and those goals include the same style ban-happy-parties just like liberals like to engage in.
democrats & maga, cdu & afd, labor & reform are two sides of the same capitalist coins that ensures that the disenfranchisement will continue to take place matter what and their adherents are too busy fighting their respective culture to wars to realize that they've been manipulated into doing so to prevent them from fighting the class war.
i used to be one of those maintainers. it was my job to build server and container images so i had to spend a lot of time with the company's internal distro maintainers and it always blew me away how much work they had to do.
i learned to stay away from midtown or battery-park/statue-of-liberty or any other tourist traps between friday afternoon and monday morning as a result of this.
HEAVY emphasis on the words "labor of love" ... should be getting paid for this and i know for a fact that people who do this professionally make around $200k a year for doing it becuase i worked with them for up until a couple weeks ago at old-silicon.
i've always been in awe of people who do this; it goes well beyond linux from scratch and they'll never get rewarded for doing it... it's purely a labor of love.
even if they resign, they would either be replaced by democrats who would continue to help trump or with republicans... who would also continue to help trump.
this plus the revelations that the biden administration did nothing to pressure netanyahu to stop the genocide makes it clear that the american government is subservient to the isreali government.
the recent articles describing how she and biden literally did nothing to pressure netanyahu to end the genocide proves that she's worse than status quo; she's a willing participant to a genocide and defended it during the election.
It’s a bit alarming to see more Canadian Cons didn’t reject him however, but after 3 liberal terms it gets harder and harder.
the vote is so close that it's clear that trump is the reason why he didn't and it also means that the conservatives will win the next time they try without someone like trump in power.
The Europeans believe that rewarding Russian aggression in Ukraine would make it much more likely that Putin will attack the rest of Europe...
the largest & most recent imperialists in the world are pointing the imperialism finger at a country that hasn't done serious imperialism since they overthrew their ruling class; i guess every accusation is just projection.
all of this is true of any party or group that supports this sort of capitalist imperialism since it's inherent contradictions perpetually lead to making life unpleasant and, so, that requires a new social welfare state like fdr's new deal to come along every few decades sap the popular strength for overhauling the system and to keep the cluster fuck going for the rich.
