It's a great analogy for capitalism in general. The USA is the wealthiest country in the world, and the fascist sociopath party has the ability to wield that wealth and military against entire economies, so everyone sucks the fash dick.

It's really no different to politicians and oligarchs domestically, and is why extreme wealth inequality is the most corrosive force in society.

Ya this sounds like a solution that could solve plastic waste by polluting the planet with extreme amounts of some other compound, and ultimately be far worse.

Australia risks losing ‘war on nicotine’ in same way as war on drugs as illegal tobacco sales explode in c/australia@aussie.zone

The tax on cigarettes is basically just racketeering; the government extracting a cut from drug addicts. The tax went well beyond the burden on the healthcare system a long time ago, and they don't even use it on the healthcare system, so fuck 'em.

They were stupid to think they could increase it forever without a black market filling the gap. Neolibs have learned nothing.

Lol. The only thing this setting does is hide the information from the user. Google, or a thousand other data brokers (many probably created by Google for this purpose) still retain that data indefinitely.

Trump's Iran Strike Shows the Urgent Need for Congress to Claw Back its War Powers in c/politics@lemmy.world

100% of the R's, and 90+% of the D's, are too busy cashing their corporate/oligarch bribes to govern.

They were positioned to enact the will of the highest bidder — shadow written by corporate/lobbyist legal teams — so why would they care if 99.99% of voters want anything, when their 00.01% employers want the opposite?

Every day for the last few decades, I'd bet.

Actually probably since 1776. There's always some KKK-adjacent southerner elect screaming mentally ill shit, whom that locale considered the best option, because they are no better.

Nazi lives DO matter according to the mods of europe@feddit.org (lemmy.world)
 

Not really "powertripping". Just pathetic. Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org... I've unsubbed and blocked the instance.

We can't dehumanize fascists for their choice to dehumanize everyone for things outside their control though, because that would be mean, and hurt their sociopath feefees!

Europe stool idly by throughout the 1930's "tolerating" fascism, and the Nazi's killed over 100 million people. Don't make the same mistake as the radical centrists of history. Fascists will not afford you the same tolerance or courtesy.

First comment removed from asklemmy thread about who's good/bad re Israel/Palestine is apparently too nuanced and anti-extremist for snowflake dessalines. Ya gotta fuel the hate and extremism if ya wanna comment round tankie parts...

The linux ban was regarding a comment (pretty sure the OG comment was different) about Russian maintainers being removed from the linux project. Obviously you can't call out capitalist Putin's authoritarian dictatorship in the communist sub, because ML mods are pro-authoritarian and pro-dictatorship; not anti-capitalist... At this point I'm convinced most "tankies" are just PsyOps operatives.

Downvoted and banned for calling out user who urged "conquering" and "splitting up" Russia (sh.itjust.works)

I can't figure out how to view my own reply comment anymore, but a /Ukraine user commented this insanity and I called them out — that cornering a sociopathic nuclear armed dictator is recklessly stupid, and exactly what will trigger a nuclear war — and got massively downvoted for "enabling Russia". 90% of the user base agreed with "conquering" Russia, and thought previous mini incursions across the border are equivalent; proving that nukes are a forever bluff.

The best part? After inspecting several of the mods and users comment histories I realized all seem to have nothing to do with Ukraine whatsoever, and appear to be young pro-war machine North American jarheads (or keyboard warrior wannabes), who sub to or mod numerous other military related communities.

Climate activists are actually conservative, as their goal is to prevent a radical change to the climate that human civilization depends on. (lemmy.world)
 

Thus, conservatism and neoliberalism are, in reality, the radical agenda...

So, Memmy is broke abandonware now, huh? (lemmy.world)
 

Broke timestamps. Everywhere. New replies will show "10 hrs" while the original comment will show "18 mins".

When viewing posts I see tons of phantom comments that seemingly have nothing to do with the post or are replying to something when they appear at the top level. Navigating to the post in a web browser shows dozens more comments (not from users I've blocked or anything).

Formatting of content across posts and comments doesn't match what the site does when I view it in the browser.

Thanks to the Memmy dev and any contributors, but broken software is broken software.

So, what's the best alternative these days?
