Capitalism didn't work and we never got democracy. But the same applies to the fascism with communist branding prevalent in Asia. A new plan is definitely needed and actual communism should have aspects on the table.

boredtortoise ,

How about doing something instead of just saying it

boredtortoise ,

Antidemocratic bad actors can't take part in a democracy (if the current system could be even called that with its flaws). It's not about banning parties (or opinions as they like to frame it). There's an apparent lack of safety mechanisms to prevent abuse

boredtortoise ,

Global news communities in instances like beehaw or lemmy.world seem to have predominantly communist and leftist posters. The nazbols congregate on their own famous three instances.

boredtortoise ,

Sounds like sketch show

boredtortoise ,

It's pretty clear that as these and the rest of the companies decide what products and services are available, their marketing ploy to shift responsibility to consumer choice doesn't hold water

boredtortoise OP ,

Apparently this semi-ex-copper carried the weapon during a parliament work day and to a karaoke bar to get shit-faced with. Carrying firearms is not at all common in the cities, outside of hunting in the countryside. A gossip rag was first to publish the information, which is also peculiar, as usually the police inform about gun violence very fast.

Yea, we aren't allowed to paste full articles in this community and another prompt gave a one paragraph summary with too much left out so

I can edit and update if 6 paragraphs is too much for rule 2 of the community. Mods hmu if that's the case

boredtortoise OP ,

Oh didn't see you're one of the mods. I'm hoping for a usable summary where users don't need to hop off elsewhere. I'll prune some paragraphs in a min

Edit: done

US intelligence believes Putin probably didn't order Navalny to be killed, Wall Street Journal reports ( www.reuters.com )

Last month, Putin called Navalny's demise "sad" and said he had been ready to hand the jailed politician over to the West in a prisoner exchange provided Navalny never return to Russia. Navalny's allies said such talks had been under way [...] Washington had not absolved the Russian leader of overall responsibility for Navalny's...

boredtortoise ,

Yes, exactly. We'll never see an official order from Putin to off Navalny or a similar one from anyone who was in on the Epstein collusion so a claim like "Trump, Clintons and the British royals didn't kill Epstein" can be always made

boredtortoise ,

I'm not ready to be reminded of the loss of inbox

boredtortoise ,

It's insane that it might be possible that Trump is allowed to be a candidate

boredtortoise ,

Well actually the antithesis of democracy, but ig many are taught to believe otherwise

boredtortoise , (edited )

The system the USA has is very far from a democracy, and they're not even attempting to reach alpha, beta or any development of it. Oh actually maybe in some local elections they're on the alpha level, but we don't really hear much on how they work in the rest of the world.

boredtortoise ,

I should've just said my result is "Chaotic Good" at that corporation "team-building" personality test workshop

boredtortoise ,

Maybe China should aid Ukraine. And Palestine and Global South countries being invaded. They could free Tibet, and not attack Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam etc while they're at it.

boredtortoise ,

This has been going on everywhere blatantly and there's never repercussions. It's not a surprise that a vote for the far right is a vote for China+Russia

boredtortoise ,

"if you set up any defenses, we will target them when we attack"

boredtortoise , (edited )

Transcribed for correction (could be that the original applies to some small place with some different setup there, but news about their protests don't really seem to spread to the rest of us). Not a real accessibility transcription.

"oh liberals, you care about palestine? stop tweeting and do something"

"people organize nation-wide protests and actions at great personal risk*

"you swine. i hope the police beat you libs into a fine red paste. i hope they come after your families. how dare you"

boredtortoise ,

The posted image could refer to some place where libs aren't the one protesting, unlike the countries usually seen having these protests

boredtortoise ,

Nah it seems we're saying the same thing, no falsies. Reactionaries are mostly angry for libs protesting with all the rest but of course it's true that there aren't any clear cut lines. And as you pointed out, both major US parties are very conservative

boredtortoise ,

Sure then, we're also not saying anything contrary

boredtortoise ,

Fede Álvarez did good with Evil Dead and Don't Breathe so cautious optimism could apply here

boredtortoise ,

China isn’t communist. China, Russia, USA et al integrated fascism as their system and now fight each other for power. This is just one alignment

boredtortoise ,

Inspect that bullshit a little if you’d like to be more informed. Fascists are always infighting and even any temporary alliances will be betrayed

boredtortoise ,

Fascism can disguise itself as communism but communism can't exist in fascism

boredtortoise ,

It’s very useful to sow their ideology, the targets will have more polarization and Russia can always have an excuse for “denazifying special operations”

China is giving Russia significant support to expand weapons manufacturing as Ukraine war continues, US officials say ( www.cnn.com )

China is helping Russia ramp up its defense industrial base at such a large scale that Moscow is now undertaking its most ambitious expansion in military manufacturing since the Soviet era as it continues its war against Ukraine, according to senior Biden administration officials....

boredtortoise ,

Building a cryptofascist empire will turn into a luxurious fully automated communism with a push or a button surely any day now…

boredtortoise ,

No, a convenient excuse. There’s no evidence of such and belief doesn’t cut it

boredtortoise ,

The people today kinda live in a temporary fascism with the promise that some day some future generation might live in a garden of Eden

boredtortoise ,

I have no hate, I can’t personally have any agency. It’s the hypocrisy we recognize

boredtortoise ,

Everyone does deserve respect and dignity*. The commenter above just meant that the martial law forces a part of the population to be used for conscription

*Until they break the social contract themselves. I know it wasn’t implied in this case but it’s a preventive mention so someone doesn’t make any weird assumptions

boredtortoise ,

Supportable idea. It’s just that the people don’t have the capability of that change

boredtortoise ,

Basically every world power is a reactionary right-wing oligarchy with either a bourgeoisie “democracy” or straight up dictatorship. So yeah you and we see it all the time.

boredtortoise ,

Amen. I’ve seen so many anglocentric lemmy users conflate “classical liberalism” and “neoliberalism” as liberal while such are actually functionally the opposite to the idea. Ideologies under the capitalist umbrella limit freedoms and liberties to apply only for the upper echelon

boredtortoise ,

Maybe giving contradictory instructions causes contradictory results

boredtortoise ,

Yeah I thought that was the gist of my comment but maybe I didn’t clarify enough. The right-wing appropriation of a “liberal” market is the oxymoron as it creates a hierarchy where less money = less liberty

boredtortoise ,

Wesley Snipes

boredtortoise ,

Ukraine is China-USA proxy war

boredtortoise ,

But Lemmy said Russia is against fascism

boredtortoise ,

Time to turn the tables “No parents, you owe me because you created the debt that is my life”

boredtortoise ,

Let’s wish both of them a very pleasant people’s revolution in the future

boredtortoise ,

Instead of laws, think of them as suggestions.

Good tip, applies to all laws

boredtortoise ,

Joel Kaplan

boredtortoise ,

The plan is to aggravate the division.

boredtortoise ,

Third option: Neurotypical comms major

boredtortoise ,

You got your wish on a right wing instance ban, it’s clear from the Russia+China fandom. They just pretend to be communists
