? Do you disagree? Isn’t blaming leftists what blue maga is currently priming their voters for if/when they lose?
Libs will still blame leftists like blue maga wants them to.
I use this extension and it lets me bypass pretty much every paywall including NYT’s
Pretty much all of life actually is entirely dependent on the sun, so worshipping it is understandable tbh
6·2 days agoJust in time for the BRICS summit. Hopefully relations between the two can soften up soon.
41·6 days agoBest way to decentralize users more would probably be to make your own instance. .world is certainly centralizing Lemmy’s userbase too much right now.

If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard.
By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative.
If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology.
If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom.
A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.
If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained.
What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.
Not communist obviously, since there’s still very much a state and class division. But socialist because the state primarily serves the workers, with the stated goal of striving towards communism.
Now whether it’ll stay that way or not, we’ll see. Deng’s reforms have given liberals too much power after all; there seems to be an active class war happening in the Chinese state.
/c/196 isn’t very well moderated at all… It’s the biggest community on there
Also “imperialist kind of communism” lmao
PalAction don’t fuck around huh. We need more direct action orgs like this.
Yeah they do be posting about beans too much on there sometimes…
They ban anyone and anything with a hint of transphobia, to the point of defederating blahaj for not being hard on transphobes enough.
When the site was first created there was a big problem with stupidpols, and under the guidance of TransComrade69 underwent a purge of all transphobes on the site, including even people who were consistently downvoting posts/comments by trans users. This TC69 Thought, so to speak, continues to this day.
On the Hexbear thread there’s talk of doing a purge of mysogynists next, seeing how there aren’t many cis women on the site judging by this poll.
They already did lmao
