That’s a Dreams game, and as much as I love dreams, it’s really more suited to experiences than it is full fledged games. It does look great though.

Fascism is capitalism in decay. Modern conservatism is still an offshoot of liberalism (as compared to old conservatives who were attempting to conserve monarchy). Liberalism is a capitalist ideology defined by promotion of individual rights, civil liberties, and most importantly free enterprise and markets. Fascism is capitalism in decay because those in power will use that power to maintain their rule, through whatever means necessary. For Trump, that was Jan 6th, which is a new low for US politics, but he’s not alone in manipulating the levers of power, and neither side seems keen on removing powers from themselves when they get in power.

Thanks, it was tough, but very worthwhile. Hope the best for you also!

My friend, more groups were killed than just Jewish peoples in the Holocaust. Are you advocating for a state for Roma people also? Where should we get that state to give to them? There is and has been no such thing as “open” land for centuries, since the completion of the partitioning of the world between imperialist states in the previous centuries. So, by advocating for state creation, you are inherently advocating for dispossession and expulsion of those who live in that area.

What about the indigenous Americans whom have suffered the worst known genocide in human history, should we pick a place in Europe and give them a country there by kicking out the historic residents of that region? Why is granting a people statehood your only perceived method of preventing violence?

How and where can you set up this mythical state without inherently requiring the kinds of oppressions and violence we see in Israel?

Trump famously hated Netanyahu before 2020 also. He even said the quiet part out loud, that Netanyahu has no intention to resolve the situation whatsoever. He just also really loves Israel, so it’s kinda irrelevant.

Ethnostates are inherently bad. You cannot have a state for a single ethnicity or religion and not have it descend into apartheid or worse. Zionism is inherently bad.

I quit in September! Congrats! Quitting smoking was way harder than quitting drinking for me, and I was a daily drunk functional alcoholic for years.

There is a high from nicotine, it just goes away so quickly as you get addicted.

That particularly piece of bullshit was platformed by none other than Elon Musk himself, the white supremacist piece of human filth he is.

Are you the dude who got banned for linking this book on Reddit books? I just saw that on another community. I haven’t read Malatesta yet, I keep slacking on it. Hope you get some good discussion, and sorry I couldn’t contribute more to said good discussion.

Actually they can’t, they have a legal obligation under the UN Convention on Genocide to take extra-territorial actions in order to stop or prevent genocide. They are acting within international law. The ships going to Israel despite the active genocide are violating international law and complicit in the genocide themselves.

 

Sorry for the shitty quality, I can’t stand looking through a camera at a show so I was just doing my best to hold it steady while going ham.

 
 
 
 
 

My bad. Hope everything has been running itself well while I’ve been gone haha. Lemmy.tf got pretty unstable so I spend most of my time on lemmy.ml these days, but .tf has been a bit more stable lately so I’m back for a while at least. Much love everyone!

 
 

Don’t use the names of radicals to endorse your watered down reformism. There’s a reason radicals get killed, and reformists get positions in cabinets. One actually threatens the status quo, one reinforces it.
