I’ve only caught clips of it and I’m not strong enough to watch in full so I ask how any of you felt about it if you watched it.

Portuguese news went over it briefly but I can only understand bits and pieces, from what I’ve gathered the whole thing was a shit show.

The amount of cheers was unsettling.

there’s no hope for this country, it should just be abandoned honestly

[-] roux@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 10 months ago

Can we just throw the whole country away and start over?

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 10 months ago

Maybe we could call the process a “communist revolution” or something?

Pointless foreign war going badly? ✔

Worsening internal proletarian conditions? ✔

Popular distrust in government and its fundamental philosophy? ✔

Encroaching police state and murdering of protesters? ✔

I could see the USA going the way of either 1905 or 1932 sometime soon. Obviously I prefer first, but it's the Yankees, they probably will go for the latter. But it's not like this hasn't happened at least once every decade for the past 70 years and no revolution materialised. The true sack of potatoes were the American Tubers all along.

Honestly a general strike might be a cool idea at least for basic things like healthcare, rent control, guaranteed sick leave and other things like that, that basically every other stable country already has. Socialist parties are missing out on the opportunity.

Yeah, it’s a shame any left movement is crushed so methodically that fascism feels like only a matter of time in the US… :(

The hope is they have won the popular vote once in 8 elections and that was only because the entire might of all news outlets was cheering for bombing Iraqis.

God I wish we had a representative democracy. Then we could have fascists in power like Italy.

Aspetta ... forse non c'è mai una democracia perfetta?

Sì, infatti ogni democracia ha I suoi problemi: meglio che uno stato autoritario.

How about we renegotiate the Civil War? Is it too late to give them the southern states and tell them to leave us alone?

[-] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 10 months ago

it would be far better to finish what reconstruction started.

I don't go 12 hours without cursing Andrew Johnson's name and the names of all his descendants
