Making a desert and calling it peace.
The state the left is in is embarrassing. The fact we’re at baby-steps of “proving a socialist mayor can run a city while making democrats look rightwing” is a terrible state of affairs, but we should probably play that hand. I don’t think he’ll have the effective power to purge every zionist in new yorks affairs.
I think it’s better to shake hands with a zionist for a while before personally cutting their throat at a later date than to remain powerless.
I think hexbear’s rigid purity (which is why I’m here tbh) makes it vulnerable to this kind common of smear work. It’s very easy to keep asking someone questions over and over until you have things that can be taken the wrong way and used to smear them with at least some portion of their base. - this is a common media tactic you need to immunise yourself against. The entire point is to turn away the most pure parts of the base.
I mean, whatever, it’s electoralism, by our nature we have little interest in it; but saying “I’ll have Zionists working for me” in one of the most Jewish places in the world is a factual statement, not necessarily and ideological one. It simply doesn’t mean that Mamdani being voted in is a bad thing. And it’s certainly not something to be upset about?
We have high standards, but regardless of what we think, he’s a leftist pipeline whether he succeeds or whether he fails, similar to Bernie. Ideally, he shifts the bounds of what it’s possible to think/support in the US leftwards a little.
My point, really, is don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, especially when it’s something we’re not invested in.
Give me the strength to endure what I can’t change, the courage to change what I can change, and the wisdom to know the difference.
I’m so glad you’ve figured out and declared that you’re the only real and non-political person here. So very enlightened buddy.
As a Chinese bot who is paid by Chairman Xi himself (it’s a tough job but I’ve got a tiny little robot family to take care of), I’d like to invite you to use that superior human mouth to consume a bucket of sewage and expire.
NATO is supplying long range missiles that are being used to hit targets over the border, aimed by NATO satellites and personnel?
A couple of minor border violations with minimally armed jets and unarmed drones is a rather limited escalation compared to directly launching weapons at Russian assets.
NATO is doing the same thing.
Russia not pushing the boundaries isn’t really keeping anything in check, it’s just giving NATO free reign to push what is acceptable while Russia is left being condemned for genocide for entirely normal, restrained conduct.
Russia violating polish airspace is actually kinda funny. The Europeans have nothing left to give, and they’re going to try and possibly fail to rearm no matter what happens. If the Russians violated Polish airspace weekly it would either be Gerans very economically intercepting and destroying European missile stocks, or Europe cringing as they can do nothing to stop the drone raids through their territory. It’s 2025. Are we going to continue to believe Europeans hold international law sacred? Fuck with them a bit. Outrage the impotent, depraved ghouls.
Scavengers Reign was great.
It’s me. I’m gaslighting you by sharing a quantum linked braincell that vibrates on the same special interest frequency.
Honestly I agree, I’d swallow that change entirely. Problem is a TV show needs super special characters that do things.
Normal people running a marxist institution designed to endure the fall of space rome and preserve knowledge isn’t interesting TV.
Wise. You’re having more fun than me.
It’s a complete inversion of the book.
Yeah this.
It sucks in a cool way.
The original book is basically “hey I’ve invented mathematical space materialism, and also great man theory is dumb, it’s all people at large scales.”
The TV series needed characters so now everyone is super special, magical, and important to history.
It’s dogshit but it’s pretty dogshit, with some original cool concepts like the genetic dynasty on Trantor. Literally I think the writers just misread “Cleon dynasty” as “clone dynasty” a few too many times and decided to roll with it.
But yeah the series has the opposite message of the books.
I feel you, but it doesn’t hurt to try.
It’s tiring to go over the evidence again and again, but if someone could post the master post for any lurkers that might be curious?
It doesn’t matter, reddit and dbzero are all liberals?
We need a good purge of the zionist mods/admins. We’re still infected.
Demod Nakoichi.
Both of them have usurped the openly hostile establishments of the parties they currently represent through the power of charisma.
If a smile for the cameras keeps New York safe from the administration, and helps differentiate “socialists” from “democrats”, then it’s absolutely worth it.
