"Top Three countries"

I think anyone would be, you don't need to be from the US, just human.

In this case the judicial angle isn’t punishment, but completion

That's the crazy part, the bare minimum appeal was to change his sentence to life in prison. That would still be an end to the case with a definite ruling. They chose to kill him. A lot of the opposition to his execution wasn't even asking to release him, but to just change the sentence, they couldn't even do the bare minimum to spare a (potentially innocent) life. Sheer barbarism.

I'm not in the US, how am I supposed to revolt? If I was, I would have been out protesting this, but as a foreigner wtf can I do but look on in horror?

I was following this story closely over the past week and it made me so fucking sad and furious when I read the news yesterday. Nobody wanted him killed, not the family of the victim, not the judges, not even the fucking prosecution. But that shitty district attorney went and forced the issue.

Putting aside whether he did it or not, why did he have to DIE? Just because it is an election year and it looks better for their shitty DA to say he's "tough on crime?". I will never understand people who defend the death penalty, even if he absolutely did do it beyond a reasonable doubt (WHICH HAS NOT BEEN PROVED) how does that make it ok for the government to kill him?

I don't understand the angle of "Punishment" because anyone who fucking says that has never spent a single day in jail. If you have, then you'll know that spending an entire lifetime there is more than enough to punish you for whatever tf you did.

Nobody should be murdered by the government in any sane, normal country. ESPECIALLY if they don't know for sure if he deserves it.

Rest in peace. I hope that shitty Justice system faces real justice one day.

I wouldn't even put Shining path and Khmer Rouge in the same league as the rest of these parties. Like sure, all the others listed are crappy and have bad positions. SP and Pol Pot were committing literal Genocides and pogroms, it's disingenuous to lump them together like this.

Liberals and their treat nitpicking. These guys just want pretty girl pixels and racism in their games and they will excuse anything after that.

You said it better than I did, lmao, I should have just read yours first. But yes, I think currently there isn't any blatant censorship or algorithmic suppression of left content on Rumble. I've seen plenty of Pro Palestinian (and, annoyingly Pro Israel too) content on there with a reasonable viewership. Rumbles management doesn't care, as they currently just want people to use their platform, and they hardly get advertising due to the stigma against them in corporate circles.

I have no doubt that if the tables flip, and Rumble becomes big and mainstream enough to start getting pressure from the US government and corporate sponsors, this will probably all change and it would just become another Youtube. But that hasn't happened yet, and it means it's still able to be uncensored.

Rumble is just that, a platform. That's how I've seen it in my experience. There are leftists there too, even if they are the minority. But this is the same on any other platform, apart from maybe Tankietube and similar. It doesn't mean that it's not worth using, if anything I think leftists should put their content anywhere they're allowed, as the whole point is to get the masses on board. Rumble's audience is already skeptical of mainstream media and other big tech platforms, so I'd say that it's more likely your stuff gets traction on there than it would on Youtube for example. The site does have the one massive issue in that it's got an established large userbase of right wingers because of how the site started off, but I think given enough time this would probably shift a bit since enough leftists start getting booted from Youtube etc. (Recent Russiagate witch-hunting is already proof of this)

Socialism was at it's lowest point in the 80s, not a great time to pick sides.

 

I'm sick of seeing so many drive-by liberals in every post comment smugly saying that "Trump worse" bullshit whenever someone here mentions how terrible Kamala Harris is.

I don't doubt Trump is a zionist POS as well, but the US media does enough to demonize him that it's only Blue MAGA that we see turning up around here. Although they hate him for shit reasons, like trying to negotiate with Kim Jong Un. While they seem fine with him murdering Iranian generals and almost provoking war.

If we don't have some sort of existing resource to list all the horrible shit Harris has done, which makes her just as bad if not worse than Trump in any meaningful way, we should put it front and center for easy reference.

 

During an unrelated discussion about something or the other (sports or something), I brought up a list of Asian countries, and instinctively accidentally said "DPRK" instead of "North Korea" during an actual conversation irl with a liberal that I often talk to. And after a little bit he produced the quote in the title. Referencing Voltaire's "Not Roman, not holy nor an empire" quip.

In this context our liberal here was clearly taking a jab at the DPRK and how it supposedly doesn't live up to it's name.

At the time it annoyed me but I said nothing of it and laughed it off and got back on topic.

But thinking back I'm wondering if it could have been an opportunity to perhaps break some of the conditioning and maybe have him reflect on his preconceived notions. What would have been the best way to actually explain how the name is actually rather fitting, without risking triggering a liberal brain malfunction that defaults to spouting propaganda?

 

Was curious if there were any quotes that we'd like to share.

It's pretty hard to find anything from Stalin for example that isn't blatantly made up to demonize him.
