If you say that they deserve things and the reason life is crappy is because of these "other" people then you create bonding over that?

This is quite literally how class war rhetoric draws people in. Just look at the memes in leftist spaces. Empathy, solidarity and universal human progress takes a far back seat to "eat the rich".

It's more than a little ironic that green capitalism is lampooned with painting buildings green while ecomodernism literally has a green washed building.

Let this be a lesson everyone: if you're going to punch a fascist make sure you don't stop until his stupid mouth can't say any more dumb shit

I'm not saying you're right or wrong but it is certainly interesting that the most prominent tankie specimens on the fediverse average 20+ essay-length comments per day while I get fed jacketed if I spend more than 2 paragraphs refuting their bullshit.

Strange that these self described proles have enough free time between their subsistence wage earning and real life praxis to write a small novel per week...

I have a groundbreaking theory about prolonged playing of contact sports, traumatic brain injury, and far right politics... You generally don't hear these headlines about tennis/soccer players, or nearly as often about basketball/baseball players.

As someone who enjoys American football and hockey, it's a damn shame that we still paint athletes as role models.

Dudes probably just at a private golf outing or a child sex trafficking party or out hunting endangered animals to extinction

20k attended? Damn, they could have just given everybody $2000 and skipped the $40m parade. I'm sure people would have enjoyed it more.

Marxist puppet? Are these "Marxists" in the room with you right now?

Who would be pulling the strings for Marxists in 2025? Uh... Cuba? Lemmy.ml? Lenin reanimated as a Communist Lich King?

Honest question: if the administration's defense is shrugging because he's in another country, doesn't the judge have an easy layup to shut down CECOT deportations?

They can't have it both ways, either follow due process or keep your slave detention camps domestic. It's not interfering in foreign policy to point out they need to choose.

As an English speaker, most easily accessible news sources on the internet are very Americentric. Given the current state of global politics, I want to break out of that bubble.

I have dual American/Italian citizenship, so I'd like to keep up to date with Italian + EU current events. All I can find are the most major national scandals, Prime Ministers talking about Trump, and the results of ~~soccer~~ football matches.

So leggere un po' di italiano, but not enough yet to read a newspaper. How can I keep up?
