Nope. The market is the driving force of society so all that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, etc.

Linking to this while also trying to argue that the Democratic platform is something more than “not Republican” is really funny.

Because Democrats let them because they refused to attempt Court packing, which is the only way to stop the fascist agenda.

I used “refused” in the past tense. I’m pretty sure that route is gone. Democrats will never have the majorities they need because this Court has made so many anti-democratic and pro-corruption rulings as to render the electoral process into a joke.

Gratuities are legal now! It is now legal to give a politician money as thanks for passing legislation. It’s not “bribery” because it occurs after the act, you see, and so therefore it’s just protected speech. I’m sure Clarence Thomas is happy about that one.

But! Dems could still run on the issue as a way to sway voters! But they’re too scared because, as you said, then Republicans will just do it too and it’ll probably lead to a civil war. So. Uh. Whatever I guess, country is fucked.

The Court is the key to the fascist’s agenda and the way they keep scoring victories despite being a minority Party.

Either the fascist Court is dealt with politically or… what? Tell me something that wouldn’t get us banned for talking about.

The fact that you felt the need to link to Project 2025 implies that the Democrats are defined by being opposed to it.

queermunist , (edited )
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Except no one asked for the other Party’s platform or accused them of not having one.

They just dumped it, unsolicited. That implies Project 2025 is important for understanding Democrats.

lol I can’t read 🤡

Also, Biden was not bad at the job.

There’s no fucking way he was doing the job in 2024 the same as in 2020. He’s declined way too much.

After 3 hours you’d go to your next job.

China is driving the vast majority of the region’s market, with over 290,000 units installed in the country in 2022. With over 550,000 robots installed worldwide in 2022 - the highest number on record (+5 percent from 2021) - every other robot installed globally was in China that year.

China blowing everyone out of the water every single year lol

It actually used to be worse! We used to be 1st for incarceration rate too 😬

Not “a hitler”?

He’s doing genocide!

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes actually. Our bombs, our guns, our fucking jets. If you do everything you can to facilitate another country’s genocide and the genocide would be impossible without your help, you are absolutely an accomplice to genocide. He’s a hitler.

If there’s anything his heart is in, it’s Zionism. It’s his one true political belief.

Latinx is an Anglicization

But also has radical roots among the Latin American community within the US

idk i have passing complexion and little connection to the community so probably not my business 🤷‍♀️

No no, just make non-votes into a vote of no confidence. No ballot means “none of the above/fuck off”

If the voter participation rate is ever lower than 50% they have to redo the election.

Does one have to be an iconoclast or revolutionary these days to be validly left? I consider myself to be left of center, and very much in favor of progressive policies.

However I find myself being disagreed with quite often, mostly for not advocating or cheering violence, “by any means possible” change, or revolutionary tactics. It would seem that I’m not viewed as authentically holding my view unless I advocate extreme, violent, or radical action to accomplish it....

Question: do you consider yourself a liberal?

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Liberals have never been leftists.

This isn’t really a new thing. You can read about leftists a hundred years ago denouncing liberalism.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

No socialist uses “liberal” when they mean socialist. Isn’t that interesting?

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Liberals merely became less racist and less sexist, not much else has changed.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

other than people in general being garbage.

The idea that most people are fundamentally broken and worthless is probably correlated with ableism.

Reunification will happen, like Hong Kong.

I don’t remember Hong Kong starting WW3 though. 🤔

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

A war between Taiwan and China would absolutely become a World War.

Reunification can be peaceful like it was with Hong Kong.

And, one needs to chase it down to humanely kill it.

I hate to be the one to point this out buuut there’s an even more humane thing you could do. Y’know. Just saying.

Deer are out of control because we hunted all the predators because meat farms needed to protect their product.

You’ve slotted yourself into the place of natural predators, but that does not actually fix anything!

I’m surprised he didn’t show up in a fully body cast to maximize his play for sympathy.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

You’re right

That’s why I won’t use my vote to tell the government I support genocide.

I’ll vote downticket for Dems because I somewhat agree with them domestically, but they’re just as bad on foreign policy so I’m writing in Aaron Bushnell for President.

Honestly if so-called AI didn’t burn down a kilometer of rain forest every time it generated a picture of an ape I’d be 100% okay with it. I do not care about intellectual property or petty bouj concerns about artists losing their ability to profit from their labor.

Get proletarianized lol 🤷‍♀️

Doing something constructive feels really good once you’ve finished and gotten a reward for accomplishing it. Games hijack this gratification system and instead trickle little rewards at you constantly so you always feel like you’re accomplishing something.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Damn that’s wild, all I can do is verbally describe sounds and smells to myself in my internal dialogue.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

How do you think quickly if you need to say everything in your mind? Is the voice very quick?

Pretty quick, yeah. It’s basically my voice, but also, I don’t need to breathe or move my mouth or anything. Ever heard the term “stream of consciousness”? Also, grammar and punctuation aren’t necessary, I can just talktalktalktalktalk and I understand myself because I always know what I’m saying.

I’m sure if you could listen to my thoughts it would sound like a fucking mess tho lol

But also, there’s a difference between when I’m just thinking about stuff to myself and when I’m busy doing something. If I’m in a flow state or “in the zone”, I don’t necessarily monologue everything I’m doing. I just do it, y’know? It’s only when I slow down to think that my thoughts actually become dialogue again.

It’s also unfathomable to me how people can think of what they need to do tomorrow and not see it.

I can’t imagine why you need to see it! I know I need to lay some mulch on my garden tomorrow, I don’t need to visualize that? I can just make a mental note of it and keep that thought stored away as part of a to-do list. What would I even use pictures for when I can just tell myself “I need to do X, Y, and Z”?

I just think we don’t understand our own internal processes very well. The conscious part may come long after we had the thought and if you say it or see it doesn’t matter.

Well yeah, consciousness is an illusion. I think they’ve demonstrated with active brain scans that our conscious thoughts come after we’ve already made subconscious decisions. We make up our minds before we know it, consciousness is more like a way we convince ourselves to do the things we’ve already decided we want to do.

That’s why I favor outright banning added sugars, or even better, improve their lives so much that they don’t want to fill the void with sugar.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Well to start, everything that’s included in this sugar tax. Does anyone really need this garbage?

But really, it’s more important to give people lives that are good so they don’t get sucked in to unhealthy behaviors.

Give people something to live for any they won’t kill themselves.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Not what I said.

I said I prefer a ban instead of a tax. A tax just bans sugar for the poor. A ban effects everyone, so it’s fair and more effective.

But also, the optimum solution instead of a tax or a ban would be to make people’s lives better so they don’t kill themselves.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

To clarify, I didn’t say to ban the ingredient itself, just foods with added sugars i.e. sugar-sweetened beverages, sugary snacks and junk food, sugary breakfast cereals, etc. We’re talking about this in context of the tax, which doesn’t ban raw bags of sugar.

If someone wants a teaspoon of sugar in their coffee at home then whatever, that’s not the source of the public health crisis. The problem is from convenience and processed foods. We could solve the problem. We won’t.
