Tankies, famous for pretending Tank Man media exists only in the form of one picture. Also one of them says "Peking" for some fucking reason.

It shouldn't be hard to understand that what the US cares about are the rights of capital and of empire, not human rights

In the replies, pretty high up:

Minsk 2, like we don't know Russian army went in there with heavy weapons in 2014 and sponsored separatists

Yeah, looking busy is way more important than being productive a lot of the time. You always need to be doing something, so you just go through the motions of doing things because otherwise you'll get shit from your employers. Waiting in good faith for more real tasks to emerge isn't enough, so you must invent chores.

lmao most of the activism by liberals here is voting every 2 - 4 years and posting, don't kid yourself. Just keep carrying water for an unrepentant segregationist and telling yourself that the incremental steps you are supporting are towards progress and not a third world war.

What do you think of the neoliberal hell that lemmy.ml is right now?
