Giving more weapons and negotiating an end to the war are not mutually exclusive. Biden is Giving Ukraine their best hand possible before the US is likely to duck out.

So let me get this straight, Ukraine will loose even more land of we give them more weapons? Lol okay.

Why should I feel sorry for you and answer your question?

Just in time for FDR Jr to take the helm and… Oh God 😳 I guess I should stockpile TP, masks, and hand sanitizer. Did I forget anything for the next pandemic?

Oracle or someone worse would buy them. That’s how capitalism works.

GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

Seriously good read on what to do next: https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-trump-wins/

The fascist power structure is unjust and so it is like an upsidedown pyramid being propped up by pillars: people who do the actual work are the pillars. This pyramid topples when those pillars are removed. This can be a workers’ strike in a certain sector (example given was the eastern shoremen refusing to load weapons for a war).

I’m also struck by how the article says to handle fear. We need to act as community and flip the script on their fear tactics.

The author of the article also has an interesting interview with Sam Seder where they talk about more historical examples: https://youtu.be/YLBM2SEL6Rc

Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.

Consider that many people who watched the Joker and idolize him didn’t get that the movie was speaking against the character. Fascists don’t understand camp, and so they don’t get that it’s a critique unless the director explicitly tells them so.

Male FUPA. The lower abdomen above the genitals that is extra fatty on the individual.

Underated article. Do not surrender political space, find community, trust yourself, make strange alliances.

We can keep telling ourselves Mark Cuban’s “opportunity economy” was good enough but objectively it was a flop with working class voters. Either it was a messaging failure or it wasn’t populist enough, Bernie is saying it is the latter. If it was a messaging failure, then we’re likely to conclude it is because our media landscape is toxic. Bernie would agree and say that is why we need a populist message to cut through.

NAFTA and Wall Street bailouts come to mind.

In regards to Bernie, his premise is that wealth inequality is the core problem, which means tax the rich until they can’t have an outsized influence on our politics.

The call is coming from inside. Google CEO claims it will be like alien intelligence so we should just trust it to make political decisions for us bro: https://www.computing.co.uk/news/2024/ai/former-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-urges-ai-acceleration-dismisses-climate

History starts when I say it does

Political parties don’t learn, they respond to power.

That or the many other demoralizing speeches. We did not need to hear Clinton talk about human shields.

You might be on to something in the sense that coming back with a more inclusive response is a better approach. I don’t think that makes them “right” though.

I’m very curious what the numbers are, care to drop any sources?
