What I’m hearing here though is a greater critique of capitalism than anything. Medicine attempts to resolve situations with drugs first because it’s cheapest and keeps the lights on, and people can’t afford non-drug therapies because they’re poor and overworked. The VA skimps because it’s underfunded and America wants people to fight its imperial wars and then fucks them for doing so. Peoples’ hormones are disordered because of unprecedented levels of environmental pollutants.

Right, but whether or not it’s disputed outside of Lemmy doesn’t change the fact that it’s a genocide. The only people who don’t think it’s a genocide are those in favor of the genocide and the genuinely uninformed/propagandized.

I’m sure Western News will report on this in a completely fair, unbiased, and reasonable way, of course.

Absolutely nothing. It’s nice that he broke the record of some asshole racist but functionally nothing has changed.

Democrats are just as impotent today as they were yesterday and throughout the Biden administration.

That’s definitely a good first step. I’d support peertube as much as possible to really hurt YouTube in the content whenever possible for the future.

I always assumed the serial crises and upheaval of WW2 and the Cold War put experimental policies like that on the back burner and they just never got picked back up.

Honestly it’s probably just because so many devs are involved more in their code and don’t want to worry about the nuances and headaches involved in licensing. MIT is still open source.

I mean, there are examples of people who defected from Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union (and other places too) before and during the war. Good general rule is that the earlier they did the easier a time they had of it overall.

Is the “Western world” even worth fighting for? Who is included in it? More importantly, who is excluded?

Ignoring quite a lot of generalizations and misogyny, it sounds like you’re very independent and also want to find someone else who’s very independent. Might want to get that misogyny sorted out though, most people don’t particularly like people who don’t like them, I think that’ll hamper your efforts at best. Have you tried therapy?

Man, where were these comics when Biden and Harris were materially supporting the genocide?

Science and research (and health, education, etc.) has always been one of the greatest advantages of socialism.

IIRC one of the unfortunate oversights of the USSR was that they didn’t heavily invest in computer science and genetics research because of their early association with Nazi “science”. Naturally the United States never had any moral qualms about that.

Best AskLemmy question I’ve seen in years

Yes, yes they are. Actually the Republicans at least have the virtue of being honest about being evil. Dems are too craven to even admit that.

but as it stands, most voters are currently voting out of fear of “the other big party”

Which is a confidence game. The big parties only matter because people have been convinced that they matter. Once this illusion is broken, real progress can begin, but until it is broken the US will simply continue its vicious cycle into oblivion.

Besides, what chance to Dems have of winning at this rate anyway? What chance did they have leading up to this past election as they covered up Biden’s dementia, enabled a genocide, and imposed a candidate of their choosing after denying the people actual democracy? Are they redeemable?
