Anything that serves as a bedrock for self-reflection, nuance, and questioning one’s own premises.

@Shardikprime@lemmy.world won’t be specific because of their cowardice.

Also, I use Kubuntu, but I go with minimal install to avoid snap fuckery, btw.

Sorry, you wanted this world; you voted for it.

You seem to be unaware or are forgetting that the majority of white women wanted it too. The exit poll stats show the majority of people across the board in about every demographic “wanted this world”; it was a massive defeat for the vestiges of the American political left.

The Trump campaign successfully set up their media machine to equate every environmental protection, women’s autonomy, labor protection, and re-enfranchisement policy proposal of the working class to a talking point of a screeching radical feminist harpy cartoon character that’s bent on “destroying the patriarchy churches, and America.”

The DNC handwaved the concerns of the working class again to fellate the billionaire and corporate donors, the “moderate” republicans, and the social justice warriors simultaneously, thinking that would work somehow.

The blame lies on the us if we let the DNC establishment keep their jobs in the next round of primaries.

No; definitely wary of those who advocate for armed insurgency against governments without a plan, exit strategy, and explicitly outlined intent for governance if successful.

If such a metric (being “civilized”) could be graphed, I’d imagine it would be an oscillating sin wave on a slight upward trajectory.

This is sort of the endgame. We fight now.

What’s your plan to overthrow the government, in practical terms? How many casualties are acceptable? Do you even have a plan? Or are you just trying to vent?

people shouldn’t need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.

This has been a sad necessity for most of our species’ existence. Recent history is the most “civilized” we’ve ever been.

BlackRock is the largest hedge fund in the world, and in history, by market cap. What are the historical examples in which a financial firm or institution has been “dismantled”, by a government inside of one month?

Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers don’t count because they declared bankruptcy, which means they “dismantled” themselves.

Your language is very vague.

I’m asking, practically speaking, how will the Trumpers dismantle BlackRock inside of 1 month?

What? How?

Her “true self” has never hid.

It’s been an endless stream of reports of scandal and cruelty since 2016 1980.

According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics and Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future, this is the definition of liberalism:

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.

In your own words, what do you think “lib” means?

I honestly think that if a personal, knowable, and forgiving god exists as the god-botherers say they believe in, then he/she would get down with some Slayer and chuckle at the irony of listening to such music.

Why can’t a god have a sense of humor?

If it meant my testicle for un-gerrymandering the voting districts, ranked-choice voting, and abolishing “first-past-the-post”, you can call me the one nut wonder, brother.

That, I heartily agree with and have been harping about it since I was old enough to understand how fucked we as ordinary people are.
