also: don't go to an american journalist, pick one from a country that has strong legal protections and the budget for meaningful legal representation like der speigal in germany.

there were plenty of warnings all around and they were all ignored; it makes me doubt that western civilization is capable of surviving itself in the long run, star trek style.

80 years is about right for people to start noticing that things are better outside the country and then there will probably be another new-deal like welfare state to keep the rat race going along further.

I'm convinced that American voters only go by vibes instead of facts or history

There's plenty of information like this about world war 2; it's only consumed by intellectuals and widely (and willfully) ignored by the general (voting) public who decry anyone trying to educate them as elitists, tankies or libtards.

This pattern will be repeated again if this same system continues to survive in it's current form.

does it matter after we hit 104% after tomorrow?

will unions still be legal in 2028?

I live in Chicago so most would be liberals.

The liberals mods on .world literally remove my comments that gain traction so the exchange would likely be on par irl

if i were any good at speaking to people; i wouldn't be on social media. lol

those randos are going to more conservative than lemmy users

Of course, there will be violent pushback against this, so like the Black Panthers who first pioneered their own parallel systems because US capitalism punished the black community for existing, we must have people ready to protect the new systems that have been built. Fighting fascism is more complicated than just buying guns and taking them on. It’s going to have to be a combination of building systems we can rely on other than capitalism as well as building groups who can and will do their best to protect those systems.

agreed, but this part feel unrealistic given my interactions with american liberals.

lemmy represents the left-most sampling of the american liberals and even they decry leftists platforms and shame their own people for not towing the pro-capitalist line; especially on this instance.

also from the article:

Democrats must not treat this as a misguided trade policy. It’s not a debate over economic theory. It’s an assault on the idea of an open, educated, pluralistic society. We must recognize it for what it is if we are to fight it with the urgency it demands.

this is also seems unrealistic as evidenced by booker's pointless filibuster; blocking aoc from the oversight committe; and obstructing bernie from the nomination twice.

until hexbear, i always thought that terrors only came in the form of reprehensible people; but seeing almost the entirety of the lemmverse get so scared by slop, beanis and owl posting is been nothing but lols for me.

this bodes poorly for the american resident who was accidentally deported to this same salvadorian prison

it's crazy that it took a trade war with the world's hegemon to spur to bolivians into action.

mexico's poorly positioned for the climate change induced water shortages and i hope the colorado delta can survive the bout of facism that the united states is going to endure.

indeed; they hold all of the cards so the only thing that is going to defeat the rat race is the rat race itself.

the attempt to turn star trek into a character driven drama with discovery has plenty of flaws, but i accept them in the spirit of trek like i do the sexist flaws in tos and the lgbt-averse flaws in tng, voyager & enterprise.

strange new worlds feels like a half step backwards in both respects because of that lack of representation and it's more glaring now that we have fascism in control of our country. to be fair: i suppose an argument could be made that it's needed considering that both liberal & conservative trekkies alike popularly decry leftism in star trek and its fandom despite star trek's clearly leftist premise and settings; but i still accept strange new worlds in that same spirit.

i'm crossing my fingers in the hope that strange new worlds doesn't end up bowing down to popular pressures in the same way that berman's star trek did in this respect and i hope that the abrams movies continue the stellar (double entendre intended) representation going forward.

i saw it as the latter considering how badly that era of star trek bungled social justice themes like lgbt rights.

i wish i could buy and use a huawei in the united states; but my redmi taught me that all american carriers ban chinese phones from working in this country.
