Everything you said is true of the GOP/American Right as well, and they do it the same way, through oligarchy, it’s just a matter of they having more time to ratchet it down where the US is just getting its official start, although it’s been working behind the scenes towards this for decades too
“The widely-expected decision to take the award back from Sarkozy came despite the opposition of current French President Emmanuel Macron, who said in April that he thought that it was important for “former presidents to be respected.” First of all fuck you and your pedophile wife Macron and second of all this award was created by Napoleon himself, what about respecting him, or your history or what the award actually stands for?
The pipeline from “crunchy to conspiracy” is very real. There always been some conspiracy on the left and far left of course don’t get me wrong but now with social media, algorithms, troll farms etc. those who are predisposed to conspiratorial thinking are going over the cliff. It was simply a matter of finding which topics they could exploit, like vaccines which originally mainly had those on the left being against them. You can still be very left while believing and supporting right wing ideas and policy because it has been presented to you in a way you find palatable and appealing and of course gives you plausible deniability that it’s actually some how not right wing allowing both your ego and identity to survive the shift.
A lot of far left supporters actually support some wildly oppressive, authoritarian and ableist ideas
The Baltics?? I won’t even corner Western Europe due to Putin the Baltic states seem clearly not safe
So the problem is that is gay??
No he didn’t? I literally just read the short interview he gave. The plane had already crashed, there was a hole he was able to open up with his legs and get through. There was no leaping and the plane wasn’t actively crashing, it was 100% crashed when he opened his eyes, realized he wasn’t dead and managed to wriggle out
I think lots of countries enforce things like animal welfare but animals are property, they don’t have “rights” you’re just required to not abuse them, and often the definition of “not abusive” is still pretty abusive/negligent
One of those flip boards for folding shirts, especially if you’re adhd, it makes it so you can neatly fold them and still see the front of the shirt so no more unfolding a bunch of things to check if it’s what you want and then just get left there unfolded
I feel like it depends on who he considers “our” allies.
This is why Ukraine didn’t tell him shit about their drone attacks on Russian planes
Until the stone mason shows up
Do you ever use a level to actually know it’s misaligned or do you just presume you immediately see all the misalignments?
Lots of “dream countries” do this and also have very strict immigration policy and strict assimilation rules
The people saying a vote for Harris was a vote for genocide definitely believed it
I guess some people genuinely don’t understand activism and collectivism
Yeah obviously they were there to enter they said it over and over… how else would aid get in if actually getting in wasn’t the plan? Even if they weren’t there to enter, for some reason, the fact that they said they were going to enter so many times would be considered credible
Because no one died, I don’t think anyone was hit either
Russia is influencing all democracies
The article says they want enough to shelter a million people, “everyone” isn’t the goal
I’m reading this book called Heartland that actually really deep dives into why so many Americans are ok with this, the fact of the matter is huge parts of the US have been living in abject poverty since basically always and it’s part of their culture to not need much, wanting things is looked down on as weakness, it’s a cultural part of long term poverty for huge swaths of the US, that living a hard life is the only way to live, there’s obviously many layers to this but it’s not a thing you can just think your way out of (because not getting educated is also part of this culture) since culture and identity are so deeply intertwined and you see that culture being actively promoted and spread via “trad culture” which is very much popular, especially with young men, trad is just code for poor
