That is why I said in the long run. Temporary support for Newsom, Pritzker etc is fine as they were some of the first Democrats to find a spine. But as soon as the Trump cancer is cleared (being optimistic here), an actual left opposition has to be built in the USA (and the rest of the Western world)

I’m not sure where I “demanded that you 100% agree with me”, but it matters because rallying behind some milquetoast liberal that will bring us back to this position in a few years is not enough in the long run.

You didn’t explicitly, that’s why I asked you. But you did tiptoe around the fact by citing some agreements that Stalin had with the nazis, as that is some sort of gotcha, right after advocating for a member of the British Conservative Party which led to the ruinous policy of appeasement with the nazis (as a form of anti-communism), so I had some doubts.

It’s funny how you talk about unity against a common enemy and in the next comment argue exactly against that. Do you deny that the USSR made significant contributions in defeating the nazis?

Have these people read the part in the Bible that talks about the Antichrist??

The real freedom is the one we got from CK’s nonsense

You might be leaving out one significant person and country in stopping the Nazis.

it is the Russian Armies who have done the main work in tearing the guts out of the German army – Winston Churchill

Wouldn’t this be a better fit for leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world ?

Ok, which one of you jokers paid the Kirk witches to hex this guy?

Ok, fuck this crap. This was the main reason to prefer Android over iOS. Going to start trying out some of the FOSS Android forks

Another example of Embrace, extend, and extinguish

Italy has massive nation wide unions (syndicates) and these strikes had more participation than any other in recent years. They exist today because of huge support for communists in the WW2 aftermath. I don’t think the US has anything of the sorts

Geez, I thought Squid Game was supposed to be a metaphor

TIL: stock buybacks were considered insider trading before Reagan made them legal

The thing is, if they are there illegally, they won’t be able to benefit from most of these welfare systems. And over straining welfare can also happen for a lot of different reasons (thank you neoliberalism)

This is what I was referring to. Could have phrased it better.

He left behind a wife and two kids. That’s how we know Israel didn’t do it.

BTW, Netanyahu having to deal with actual antisemites peddling conspiracy theories sounds a lot like the boy who cried wolf

Clicked the link to see how many references to Gattaca there would be. Was not disappointed
