Advertising is absolutely morally reprehensible. It is propaganda that exists only to manipulate people into buying shit they didn't want or need. And it turns out that mindless consumerism is destroying society and our planet.
As we destroy the planet with car centric urban sprawl and climate change, people are living increasingly more and more online through video games, twitch, tiktok, and Netflix. Basically ReadyPlayerOne, but without the cool virtual reality.
Nov 5th was a monsterous setback for environmental issues. Project2025 will undo all the progress we have made on environmental regulation.
German conservatives formed a majority coalition with the Nazis in 1932. Conservatives have always sided with fascism over socialism and always will.
Partly. The DNC forcing Harris to adopt conservative talking points / abandon the Tim Walz progressive policies was also a massive blow to her base. You can't spend 8 years comparing Republicans to Nazis and then promise to put them on your cabinet and to continue their racist border policy. The DNC forced Harris to listen to donors over voters and this is the end result
Next you'll tell us Putin's Russia is as strong as ever
China didn't have to steal anything, the west handed them all of our trade and engineering secrets on a silver platter just to boost their profit margins.
You're not completely wrong. There are many aspects of our system that are deeplh undemocratic: the way that the donor class gatekeeps who is able to run, the way politicians serve lobbyists and donors over the public will, and the way that oligarchs own 95% of our news media all create an environment where the interests of the people are not represented by our government
The supreme court and congress has put the executive branch in its place before.
The SC betrayed democracy with Citizens United and again when they gave Trump immunity for his countless crimes while in office. Don't forget that the SC openly take bribes from billionaires.
80% of Nazi casualties happened on the eastern front by the Communists. But yeah, the Soviet Union no longer exists, Russia has fallen to fascism, and now the US has too. The world is fucked.
Voting against fascism doesn't make a person a liberal. Liberals suck, but fascists actually want us dead or in jail.
That is liberal identity politics which everyone hates. Real leftists like Sanders and AOC have never said anything like that.
