no one's arguing that one isn't worse; but there are plenty of people who keep regurgitating this deflecting talking point and that makes it clear thorough the indoctrination has become.
i love this guy's videos and i bought my last laptop using his discount code; i was waiting for him to provide a slimbook code since i was planning on buying one, but now i think i'll look for something else.
no one is; but there are plenty of people who insist that the democrats are better because they dump a little bit less shit on you than the republicans while refusing to admit that shit piles up no matter how little you do it.
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.
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.
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.
