It's easy to keep a simple majority from voting you out, when anyone opposing you gets the wall for being "Not doctrinal"...

Its like saying a pastor of a church can be voted out by a simple majority of the deacons... But the pastor can off any deacon at any time, merely for being a heretic.

I said "not as commonly as the other two"... The US has been engaged in myriad genocides, across the globe and domestically, as has Russia. China just does it less.

I mean hell, China got their Uighurs genocide plan from the US's post 9/11 "counter terrorism".

Why? Its not like the US is much better than either... All three nation states are rather evil.

I guess the best could be said about China, because at least they don't generally engage in genocide as commonly as the other two.

So, you're biggest issue is other nations might step up to replace the Imperial States of America?

[–] ubergeek 4 points 2 days ago

So, you really have nothing to retort...

Tell me: Is it better or worse, that the US is not longer doing imperialism as hard in their homes?

Who is absolving Trump of anything?

[–] ubergeek 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fixed that for you.

Did you, though, or just try to lie?

I mean, were Palestinians being genocided in Israel for... most of Biden's presidency? And didn't Harris say she fully supported Biden's policies?

Indigenous people? They are laughing at us right now, because us white people are freaking out about stuff that's been happening to them since white people showed up here.

Union workers? Come on, it's not illegal for rail workers to strike in the US, thanks to Biden, who Harris, once again, said, she fully supported his policies.

Good for homeless people, as in creating more homeless people every year? Houselessness was spiking under Biden, and still is...

If Kamala Harris had won, literally all the groups you just mentioned would be far better off than under a literal fascist dictatorship which Trump’s lackeys want to establish.

How so, specifically?

Honestly? I’m starting to believe lemmy is, like reddit, filled with a bunch of clueless college kids who haven’t set foot in other parts of the world and have no idea what it’s like to live under a dictatorship, and thus take the rights and freedoms they have completely for granted.

I'm starting to think you believe the rest of the world is ok with how we treat our citizens, and do the same...

Worse for non cis people

How so, specifically, that wasn't happening prior?

worse for women

Same. How so, specifically?

worse for education

Public education, to put in the words of Lupe Fiasco:

"Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts If you think that hurts, then wait, here comes the uppercut The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up"

Brown people in the US have always gotten the shit end of the stick, with public education.

worse for immigrants

What if I told you that Biden was deporting people at a faster rate than Trump is?

worse for people in countries being directly and indirectly threatened by your fascist president

Like, which countries? Palestine was being genocided before Trump was elected. And we've been raping under developed nations for a long time. Frankly, a lot of those nations are getting a break now, with Trump's focus on turning the imperialism inwards.

It seems like it's mostly getting worse for white, cishet people. Queer people were already under attack, and being lynched. We've been hammering on immigrants for like... 30 or so years now. etc etc.

My what? Are you a child?

Your beloved liberal republic here, the one that loves to genocide people, loves to be racist, loves to put dollars over humans, and loves to start wars to topple democratic societies abroad.

[–] ubergeek 6 points 3 days ago (5 children)

The reason it's not worse for my neighbors, is because they were already under attack by your beloved liberal republic, and have been for centuries.

If you don't get published, you don't get cited. If you don't get cited, it appears your work isn't important.

That said, every researcher I've emailed requesting a copy of a paper gladly supplied it, and many put them up on their uni sites.

Worse for whom?

Things haven't changed a bit for my indigenous neighbors. They are being fucked over just as hard now, as before...

My black neighbors have noticed just as much now as before, cops still abusing their community and their still being ignored economically.

So, worse for white people? Sure.

A half ounce of Champanya badder. Its a nice dab, nothing to write home about, but the taste hits the citrus and grape flavors I dig.

Bought some of this, Saturday, at the Seneca's cannabis market

Indigneous folk bring fire!

Has some serious fruit there, and a chocolate background to it, in smell, and with a dry herb vaporizer.

This isn't my app, it just seems super cool as a way to pull together your own social media and news.
