What happened there?

I'm curious.

I recently upgraded my stone axe with some flint. Those guys with bronze are doomed.

Fr. Even the right wing broadsheets had good investigative journalism at one point. It's all gone now.

If it wasn't so tragic it would be amusing to see the bourgeois factions stumble over each other. The parties had their obvious policies and they made a certain twisted sense for a time.

Now that none of it has worked, they're both running out of policies and simply stealing the other's lines. You can see the visceral confusion in the demi-gods and priests of capital and in the faithful.

It's the same across the western world, as the 'left' parties are unanimously trying to out-compete the 'right' on immigration. The politicians and pundits are tripping over themselves and each other. They just don't know how to frame it.

Who now is the baddy and who the goody? If we all agree that immigration is bad, does that mean the baddies are now the goodies and are the goodies now the baddies because maybe being a racist isn't the best look.

Major policies have been swapped before. It's like light through a prism and the right colour is distilled and purified. The GOP takes up anti-abortion and we now see the result of that policy-swap once it becomes the platform piece. Fuck knows what horrors we're in for when all the 'left' parties steal and horde the anti-immigrant policy as the right abandons it in favour of 'more imported servants, please'.

What do you mean by deep state?

In another sense: these CEOs are the people responsible for infiltrating other countries with the shitty US model of healthcare.

Not quite but there's overlap.

Tell me about it. When I first learned that the website developed and run by Communists had Communists on it, I couldn't believe what was happening.

The only moral stance is to post about the US election in lemmydotEthiopia, the Australian election in lemmydotSuriname, the Bolivian election in LemmydotAlbania, and so on, but only if it's months out of sync. Anything else is suspicious.

That fits nicely because it's always people who have and will continue to have enough food in their belly that they can indulge in an extra meal while indulging in fantasies like 'one more election cycle, pleeeease, I trust them to stop murdering millions of innocent people, just one more election cycle and then they'll fix everything, pleeease'.

What's non-wealth-based fascism?

Fr when I'm filling in my spreadsheet for the people I have to watch, it's a lot easier if everyone goes in column A or column B.

Column A is titled 'Radical speech but thinks that voting will change anything – no action required'.

Column B is 'Radical shitposter – maintain eyes, no immediate action required'.

The other columns, though – damn it's a lot of paperwork.

Column O, 'Organising their community, feeding people, and providing healthcare' is the worst. Luckily for me, the agency's action means they don't stay on the list for long so the paperwork is finite. I probably shouldn't be saying all this as it's top secret. But we do know what's up in our department.

Monsieur 'andprint

But doesn't represent the views of the IMF lol

While the exact reason for the difference in aspirations is unknown…

The difference is that China has industries, the US has only military industries, and the UK has… TERFs? And one factor that isn't mentioned is the fact that adults apparently give children quizzes where 'vlogger' is a career path; that's going to make children think that vlogger is a career path for the same reason that poor kids soon forget about wanting to be accountants, lawyers, architects, doctors—they know which jobs are and aren't options because adults make it clear.

Someone with better mathematics will have to confirm this but the charts are skewed, too. So it's worse than it seems at first glance. Children could choose up to three, right? The Chinese one really emphasises this, being well over 100%. The fact that the US/UK one is a slope suggests that practically every child chose vlogger, some only vlogger or only two options, with a few willing to choose three. In China, though? Every child chose three and a smaller fraction chose vlogger as an afterthought or maybe as a way of sharing knowledge from/about their primary choice. A handful likely put vlogger as number one, still.

Time to start asking whether anyone shorted Port of Baltimore stock last week.

What I do is block the lemmygrad instances that I don't want to see. That means 'local' is like my own feed via a blocklist. Then I subscribe mainly to the Hexbear and some lemmy.ml communities. If I sort by 'subscribed', I mainly get Hexbear, or a lot of it via an allowlist. I sometimes miss not being able to see the blocked lg comms, like c/SRS, but this way is better for my mental health in the long run.

2035 isn't that far away.

Who's 'they'?
