Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Some might say they're aligning on the same Axis...

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

They are just trying to bring order to our one world.

The thing fascists and authoritarians always forget is that there are more of us than there are of them.

It doesn't mean it's a nice contest or a heroic fight ... it's terribly ugly and horrible when the fighting starts but there are always more socially minded people than ignorant ones. It's been the case for thousands of years and I don't think we'll break that pattern any time soon

Which is why there is a push for robots,automation,and ai. To reduce the odds.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 days ago

So ..... we're building the instruments that will destroy us and win the world for them?

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 12 points 4 days ago

It's happened before! But it cost so much. Humans can really get warped by extremism until they finally get sick of it after many have died.

Well yes and no. Leftists have a massive division problem, always had and probably always will. The whole numbers thing doesn't matter much when those numbers are like oil and water.

Is this an attempt to create the New World Order I’ve been hearing about for years?

New World Order formed sometime around 2013 didn’t they? At least that’s when they dropped their self-named album.

Personally, I’m more a fan of New Order.

Naa, they 'took over' WCW in about nineteen ninety ~~eight~~ six.

So what you're saying is, everything that's wrong with the world right now is Vince Russo's fault?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

Nation-states are dying. Global factions are taking over, and establishment neoliberals don’t realize it’s happening.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 40 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Like a sort of alliance, or perhaps an Axis of power if you will.

[–] Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago

Hey I remember how this went last time and ended because I paid attention in fucking school....

Fuck these arrogant fucks for causing so much harm in the world

The super wealthy have demonstrated the kind of solidarity that could smash the bourgeoisie.

Surely this time it'll last 1000 years.

hours ... a thousand hour Reich ... which is roughly just over a month.

Somewhere around 3 and a half to 4, depending on if you're using calendar mooches or clock mooches.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

Just about 4 Mooches

“Nationalists of all nations: unite!”

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

So we have to be militant about forming a global resistance.

An axis, if you will.

If that's his goal, then it wasn't very smart to make the far right leaders from other nations, who travelled to the US to be at his inauguration, watch the live stream with the other plebs.

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

They know it's best for them not to be seen gathered together all at once. They've all been playing a patient long game (even if some among their followers don't).

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

And billionaires.

Debout, les damnés de la terre Debout, les forçats de la faim La raison tonne en son cratère, C'est l'éruption de la faim. Du passé faisons table rase, Foule esclave, debout, debout Le monde va changer de base, Nous ne sommes rien, soyons tout.

C'est la lutte finale ; Groupons nous et demain L'Internationale Sera le genre humain.

Il n'est pas de sauveurs suprêmes Ni Dieu, ni César, ni Tribun, Producteurs, sauvons-nous nous-mêmes Décrétons le salut commun. Pour que le voleur rende gorge, Pour tirer l'esprit du cachot, Soufflons nous-mêmes notre forge, Battons le fer tant qu'il est chaud.

L'État comprime et la Loi triche, L'impôt saigne le malheureux ; Nul devoir ne s'impose au riche ; Le droit du pauvre est un mot creux C'est assez languir en tutelle, L'Égalité veut d'autres lois ; "Pas de droits sans devoirs, dit-elle Égaux pas de devoirs sans droits."

Hideux dans leur apothéose, Les rois de la mine et du rail Ont-ils jamais fait autre chose Que dévaliser le travail ? Dans les coffres-forts de la banque Ce qu'il a crée s'est fondu, En décrétant qu'on le lui rende, Le peuple ne veut que son dû.

Les rois nous saoulaient de fumée, Paix entre nous, guerre aux Tyrans Appliquons la grève aux armées, Crosse en l'air et rompons les rangs ! S'ils s'obstinent ces cannibales A faire de nous des héros, Ils sauront bientôt que nos balles Sont pour nos propres généraux.

Ouvriers, paysans, nous sommes Le grand parti des travailleurs, La terre n'appartient qu'aux hommes, L'oisif ira loger ailleurs. Combien de nos chairs se repaissent ! Mais si les corbeaux, les vautours, Un de ces matins disparaissent, Le soleil brillera toujours.
