    This is the paradox of liberalism.

    You have blue MAGA outlets like NPR that spent the last 8 years being “fair” to both sides, telling their audience the antivax fascist psychopaths are just as valid and worthy as the left trying to give people education and healthcare.

    As if conservative views are even worth recognizing.

    Liberalism without a STRONG left wing always ends in fascism, and the liberals are more than happy to join the fascists (see: literally all liberal discourse on Lemmy).

    Guess what the US has spent the past 80 years doing. Real coincidence every time a country leans left, they are overthrown by CIA puppets.

    So now you have liberals in literal tears trying to get their guy elected without even fucking understanding the issues at play. They don’t give a shit.



  • They do, every year, at career fairs across the nations schools. It’s called divesting from the military industrial complex.

    You just pretend not to see it.

    This issue is brought up literally every time the Saudis are mentioned. However, your take is a fresh and interesting one that makes absolutely zero sense.

    What are you doing?

    Oh that’s right, nothing. Okay.

    It’s not even a fucking meme in the tankiest Putin apologist communities to support Saudi Arabia.

    Seriously where are you even getting this from?






  • Historical context: the KAL007 incident immediately followed the intrusion and activity of a USAF Boeing RC-135 recon plane that was in literally the same spot earlier that day. This aircraft has the same radar signature as KAL007.

    The Soviets, in a hurry to shoot the spy plane signature hundreds of miles off civilian air routes while it was still in their territory (the second time the unresponsive KAL007 crossed it during the flight), shot it down.

    Yknow, as regularly and justifiably happens with spy balloons today.

    Russia does enough bad shit without the propaganda, going full onion just makes it seem laughable (not saying you are, this is just an extremely common take).


  • The reason you may not have received the reception you expected is because your POV comes from a deep well of privilege. Clearly you recognize they are shit people, so why?

    You are making a choice to validate your parents’ beliefs, to expose your own family in their formative stages to those beliefs, and to the detriment of your own friends, for money.

    That’s fine. Nobody’s telling you to give it away. It’s yours by law if they choose to give it to you.

    But to then go and complain about voluntarily eating some poop (so to speak) for financial independence later - to people whose entire lives are defined by how they are treated by people like your parents with nothing at the end but more discrimination, is a bit… liberal.
