I think because admitting to that would undermine the whole propaganda basis for their genocidal rampage. I would go so far as to say that the doctrine seems put in place to create just such a situation out of any one flare-up. The “it’s coming right for us” of ethnostate policy.

Flips to page one Ah, we should pull their funding! Why didn’t I think of that?

Oxford-Cambridge Silicon Valley

Look I’m as optimistic as the next mad scientist, but at a certain point the number of sex offenders is going to hit what’s called “saturation point”

BRB mounting even brighter lights pointing out behind me

The “Heh, but I’m not a member of the national socialist party in Germany from 1940-1945” that you hear from teenage nazis online is basically also the US cultural norm

As the Axis, yes

Oh no, not sanctions

All of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, JK I’ve got that shit on lock already

The world did not need the first set of resident evil movies, and I say that as someone who’s personality is largely rooted in them

Have we become a hated, moribund party of billionaire lobbyists and genocide profiteers?

No, it’s the voters who are wrong.

The world arbiter of freedom and goodness

It’s all propaganda from both the US and China

Well, one large company based in China that saw a PR opportunity anyway, it’s not like TikTok is acting at the direction of the CPC lol

I mean yknow, different kinds of intelligence. Guy’s dumb as a rock in most things, but clearly has a deep unconscious understanding of performance and manipulation

FUCK it’s too real

Pillaging of the global south for labor and resources

Thanks Harvard Political review, I hadn’t noticed

American exceptionalism gets even more nutty when things are bad

It is leftist, in a way that’s so much more casual and all-encompassing than I’m used to. Lemmy communities feel like little hidden leftist saloons in the wasteland, while the culture and friendliness on rednote feels more like what a whole society of people who share leftist values should feel like. It’s immensely refreshing to just look at people’s art projects without alo feeling like you have to be constantly prepared to do battle against a firehose of manufactured outrage, clickbait and smug dehumanization, like on basically any American social media I see these days. The cultural exchange itself is heartwarming beyond description, and I’ve seen tears on both sides of it.

Folks, the bourgeoisie. They’re no good, more and more people are saying it

Brother we’ve been arming and supporting a full-on ethnic extermination and bombing anyone who tries to stop it for over a year now. We’re past flirting with fascism, we’ve bought a dog and moved onto a studio apartment with fascism. Fascism is making us coffee and thinking about opening an Etsy store to sell all the gold tooth fillings.
