you live in a bubble. i don't think the majority of americans sees it the way you do. i see it the way you do, but you shouldn't assume that just because your personal social media feed is pro-palestine that it's unanimous across the US.
You all deserve whatever hell comes for you.
hear hear. i'm so sick of trying to explain how western democracy works to toddlers. fuck it. FAFO you little idiots. i'm already packed up and heading for my bunker. ya'll can sort this whole, stupid, goddamn mess out yourselves.
thank you for an excellent, well-written post. you're 100% correct. i'd like to also add the need for secure communication to that list of logistics. the revolution needs hackers and programmers so badly.
but yeah, all that plus vote biden, whether you like it or not. we can eat him later.
Screaming at people to vote will not make them want to vote. Worst case scenario you piss them off enough that the spite vote against you.
if people are that petty and childish, then fuck it. let them live in their spite world alongside the sociopathic, conservative right. i'm so sick of the lack of humanity in america.
who cares about placing blame? you sound like a kid crying to your mommy. JUST DO THE RIGHT THING GODDAMNIT.
If more people vote third-party it will pull center politicians further in whatever direction you vote
oh you naive child. you're willing to doom us all for your 'conscience'. what a spoiled, privileged brat.
that's not tough guy shit, loser. that's just regular old 'this is what happens when you disrespect someone' shit. it's just a statement of fact. would you let someone talk like that to your face? you're a feckless little twat if you would.
oh, and great way of sidestepping the acknowledgement of my history lesson, punk. can't even own up to being wrong about something? you're spineless, kid. walk away.
ROMANS? “colonized” by ROMANS??? lmao
Listen here, you little shit. why don't you get back to me when you finish reading the history book instead of commenting when you're only halfway through? in case you missed it, the ENTIRE HISTORY of civilization is a long, continuous story of lesser peoples being conquered by larger peoples (whether in size or technological superiority). every tribe of people, at some point in their history, had a moment of 'first contact' with a larger, more 'advanced' civilization, and it almost ALWAYS ends with the underdog getting the shaft. europe is no exception. germanic tribes, prior to contact with the romans, were not so different from any other 'primitive' people. the romans colonized most of europe, which in turn spread roman technology and culture (hence the term 'romance' languages).
nationalism and the concept of countries didn’t truly exist until like 1700s. Sure, there were some special cases like Poland which has been a “country” (or rather, a united kingdom) since the 10th century, but even for these outliers, the idea of a nation comes waaaaaay after the fucking romans have existed, please stop embarassing yourself.
I never used the term country because the concept is bigger than the idea of the modern country. you really need to stop going on the offensive until you calm down some, junior.
And europe’s contributions to… “medicine, science, phycics, chemistry, etc”, even if we discount the ones that were straight up stolen, is a non-sequitir when we are talking about what europe at large has done to its subjects. Do you think that advances in, for example, electric power production, are worth the countless colonial deaths in middle africa? Europe is pretty fascist still, living on the blood of the third world
first of all, the romans themselves learned a lot of what they knew from the near east, which were actually the first conquering city states - persian, babylonian, achaemenid, etc. history makes no attempt to hide the fact that most western society was greatly influenced by the near east and arab cultures, so using the term 'stolen' is dishonest, (along with calling europe out as being the worst colonizers). any actual scholar understands that the entire history of technology is the concept of 'standing on the shoulders of giants', meaning owing their achievements to the great minds that came before them, no matter where they came from.
and, just to send this one home: fuck you, western chauvinist, I hope your life mirrors that of the global lumpenproles, who have no choice but to take your country’s neoliberal “fixes”
fuck you too, kid. i guarantee you wouldn't say that shit to my face and walk away with all your teeth still in your skull. i'm just as radical as you are, son. i'm trying to tear down capitalism just like everyone that understands what the fuck is going on. you need to watch your mouth and pick up on who your allies are. just because i'm not grossly misinformed about world history doesn't mean we're not on the same side.
not exactly true. don't discount europe's contributions to medicine, science, physics, chemistry, etc.
but yeah, the western world has been exploitative as fuck. we learned it from the romans, who colonized the shit out of us. it's a vicious cycle, but i think if we can just beat the fascists and corporations, we are the verge of a new enlightenment.
You can't even speak frankly here. I came to Lemmy because I was tired of being censored by Reddit, but it seems like this place is just as restrictive on speech as Reddit was.
People, if we are going to talk about systemic change for a better world, violence has to be a tool in the toolbox.
i definitely saw my early childhood exploits where i hurt animals as psycopathic. i'm glad i could realize that at an early enough age to stop doing those kinds of things, but i remember being a little shit that didn't care about other sentient beings. it's gross and i would beat the hell out of my kid if i saw them doing that. i'd sit them down and explain why they shouldn't but also put the fear of god in them to never do something like that ever again, just in case they didn't grow out of it.
