Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I mean this isn't really a question.

He's doing it.

In the open.

And it's obvious.

But our country is too pathetic to stop this blatant corruption, which just means we'll sink deeper into corruption and the middle class will disappear. Ensuring that we'll be poorer and work until we die.

This is not the home of the brave. We're pathetic and weak.

We're still holding onto the belief that it might go back to normal, while in actually our lives as they once were are forfeit, and no one gets out of this without a fuckton of trauma.

Albert Camus, who was in the French Résistance before becoming an author and philosopher, was serious about confronting death and considering actual suicide, and had to invent a whole 20th century post-enlightenment philosophy to survive.

Our lives from now on are defined by the ongoing attack on society, and the sooner we push back and hard, the less will have to be repaired for Alphas and later ~~dimensions~~ generations. (I want to blame autocorrect. Badly. But I'm not sure.)
