I can hear this picture…
Spoiler,: Those who didn’t take it, died…
…do you mean died by ‘Deaths Of Depsair’ or died cause they were shot by the cia ?
Yes
Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying.
I also must sadly admit that I dont see myself being able to avoid a ‘Death of Despair’ in my near future with all the shitty things going on in the world and economy today

Spoiler alert, we continued to take it.
ya because most people are perfectly fine with this awful capitalistic genocidal world we have created here .
If people didnt like this? Uprisings like the FARC’s and PFLP’s would be way more common…BUT THEY ARENT. So THIS must be what the people want!
Nice!😏
Every single generation in the past 100 years has said the same thing. “My generation will fix it when we’re in charge”.
The God Damn boomers were the hippies from the 60s. What the fuck happened to peace and love?
My generation (Gen X), my goodness, we could see through all the bullshit. We’re the original centrists.
Every single one of my children’s Gen Z friends are all so woke they never sleep.
Turns out every generation is full of selfish shortsighted dumbasses just like the one before it. Just like “The Greatest Generation”. Just like the boomers. Just like Gen X.
Faith in humanity…fading
“Now, there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here… like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: ‘The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.’” – George Carlin
Boo no copy pasted comments please
Lemmy is still very small and we hear you!
Wow…I don’t usually do that but it was so convenient. I feel seent.
Narrator: they did in fact take it.
On the electoral side, people are starting to not take it… Anymore.
Just gotta hope it is enough to outweigh the fear mongering of the right and liberals.
Imagine treating liberals like enemies and not as the friends in power that they are.
which liberals?
plenty of liberals are 100% on board with the conservative agenda, as long as the stock market goes up.
thats literally what the world liberal means
‘They are conservafives who want to LIBERALly restructure their capitalistic economy to benefit them and their acquaintances’
Liberals are not rhe friends of anarchists and communists anymore.
Plenty of leftists are good with the conservative agenda as long as Russia gets to keep genociding Ukraine.
Anyone who supports genocide is not a leftist, like, by definition.
There’s whole instances here that would disagree with that statement.
what is the name of this instance please? Dm if possible…
Not everywhere is a two party state and the difference between Liberal and left is a lot more obvious when you’re outside of the American media sphere
The american media sphere is the greatest sphere in the galaxy.
Even knowing this is a bit makes me recoil lol
It’s not a ‘bit’ to love your country.
I don’t think all liberals are enemies, but I do acknowledge the reality that certain Democratic liberals in power are attacking progressives and lending crediance to right-wing attacks.

We’ll see if the same tactics used to win NYC work in rural counties.
Here’s to hoping!
The tightness of Abdul’s primary kinda has me worried. Apparently, there was an amount of Republicans who signed into the open Democratic primary to try to tank his chances. I don’t think we have the numbers for how many yet, but it will be concerning if it is only a small portion.
A bunch of interviews have shown that a lot of the people who voted for Trump just wanted a change candidate, who ended up doing the opposite of delivering. Hopefully those people will come out swinging for change candidates of the opposite flavor.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the republicans voted for him knowing he’d be the easier target to defeat.
Much the same as Trump wanting to run against Sanders every election.
Current evidence says otherwise in regards to who the ‘weaker’ candidate is, but that doesn’t mean the fearmongering won’t activate enough R voters in the general to out vote the progressive’s momentum.
Echelon Insights suggested that Republican-leaning voters may have helped Stevens in the Detroit metro area.
Apparently Gen X wasn’t going to take taxation anymore, so they made sure to abolish taxes for the top 1%.
And, here it is. We’re bickering amongst ourselves again, just like they prompt us to.
It’s a class war, try not to forget that.
No War but Class War. comrade 🫡
It’s a class war, sure, but voters have power and a lot of them betrayed their class and continue to betray.
But thats the tjing, voting usually does nothing. Most voters already know this and …they continue to vote.
george carling told us this decades ago and most people refuse to accept he is right:

He even added at the back part of that quote that I forgot that you cant get mad at him in particular cause he just doesnt vote.Ever! THE PUBLIC are the ones who vote so THEY should be getting mad at themselves for electing such awful ‘leaders’ and millionaires who ruin and steal everything and these millionairss in the Electoral College run the same jerking session every 4 years splat splat splat splat. Meanwhile, HE at home who didnt vote he’ll/have something to ‘show’ for his little ‘jerking session’ 😘
This comment applies to pratically everywhere else on the planet not just america .
People can get mad at the Bolsheviks for not voting and for doing things ‘a certain way’ but we can all see that from 1917-1991 the Bolsheviks strategy of not voting ACTUALLY …worked! The living standards of a Slavic person from 1917-1991 was amongst the highest on the planet whether they were Ukranian or Kazakh and it has also been proven that from 1991-2001 no place on the planet experienced a sharper rise in poverty than…well… those same Slavic peoples! Hmmm how bout that? Same can be said for the Cubans and the Vietnamese and the Koreans
Go fuck yourself, fascist. Can’t believe a fucking Trump supporter dares to lecture me on class issues.
Im not a trump supporter lol what. Look at my username. Im a communist lol wot?
Corporate needs to find the difference between these two pictures. Eastern Bloc are the ones who put Trump back in the white house, the ones he reports to.
That’s a boomer thing, but nice try.
Boomers have been voting for a
centuryabout 64 years, the thing that changed in the 80s and 90s were Gen X coming of age.
Boomers have been voting for a century
Unless there is a statistically-significant amount of 118+ year old people actively voting, this is not possible.
Not just that, but had to be born after 1945 to be considered “Boomer”. Clearly time travelers
That’s basically when the first genx kids “came of age”, most were still kids. Find another reason for the data, you’re causating the correlation.
Crazy thought, maybe some other people stopped voting?
And literal children made up the difference? 🤦♂️
No, more boomers.
Getting old is watching all your former ‘rebel’ friends become the Empire.
And worse, watching your former empire friends, seem more like the rebels.
and then realizing they’re all assholes and none of them really care about anyone other than themselves and this movie was fun, but a horrible horrible way to view the world.
The real struggle is going on at your local town/neighborhood meeting and voting for the city rep you have never heard of is the one making the biggest impact on your life.
The genius of Mandami, that everybody ignores, is he is entire focused on small potatoes local issues that actually effect the voters lives. But in america, filling pot holes and auditing/moving budget items for more pragmatic spending, makes you a communist, or something. Real change is in the boring details, not the grand historical narrative.
…aaand he dint arrest netanyahu…
