"But Kraut, if we just call every scary group of non white people "Islamists" we can demonise them and not think about what the actual problem is and how we should go about solving it."

Not exactly a rush (AAAAAAARGHGHGHG) but the energy transition is happening and won't reverse randomly.

Mad Max 2 was filmed outside of Broken Hill, which while struggling as the mining industry declines there is still populated and functioning. If oil completely runs out in the UAE they really might end up in anarchy.

Wtf happened to all the "pacifism is objectively pro fascist" socialists?

Which is a longer and more specific way of saying "a lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on".

"Every other channel just gets to go "both major parties are brought by corporations" while I have to sit here and explain what the fucking "Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters" is. That's the problem with being honest: it's BORING, it's REALLY REALLY BORING!"

"Ho Chi Minh personally disembowelled 100 thousand billion trillion babies for no reason, we HAVE to napalm this forrest full of 8 year olds to stop him!"

Because they want to tar everyone to the left of Mark Rutte as an irredeemable inhuman degenerate bugman against which any and all atrocities can be justified and who can never ever be debated or taken seriously.

As a Bi Australian myself that last tactic of theirs in particular drives me right up the goddamn wall.

Because risking a few gaffs is better than being a smug nihilistic loser like everyone else in the democratic party. Who's your Mayoral candidate Einstein?

The rest of the US political landscape is in for a world of electoral hurt if they think all he's doing can be dismissed as "buzzwords"

Did he or did he not grow a pair and so much as SAY he would, let alone try to, destroy the oligarchy? Or we still pretending that banning big soda bottles is communism?

I'm 22 so I won't pretend that I remember the DeBlasio campaigns but am I right in assuming that he didn't have the balls to call himself a socialist AND wasn't receiving and rebuffing deportation threats from the President?

I was very embarrassed to learn the other day that he used to go by the label "social democrat"

Isaac @isaacasimov11998.bsky.social · 1d

The democrats are a dying, shitty party that desperately needs someone to fix it and a lot of people think Mamdani is that fixer. I'm sorry your fellow liberals and small letter democrats and republicans give a shit.

He's too much of a bitch to talk shit about anyone down here

Getting strong "yeah ok Saddam was a bad guy" energy

You're right, it is a good slur

At least Big E was funny, and from memory didn't suffer pedophiles.

I'm working class and a socialist, and Zelenskyy is sure as hell my hero.

This will keep happening forever if the status quo is shit and communism is just presented to the public as "that thing that happened decades ago that the government I hate and didn't vote for tells me was bad, and is also the same as Bernie Sanders".

Don't forget that he did fuck all about AIDS, not unlike Trump doing fuck all about Covid

Everyone's so mad at Wong as if the existence of the US empire and Australia's incapacity to gain independence from it is her fault and not a centuries in the making historical development. Larissa Waters would just delete AUKUS, invade Israel, and nationalise the mines in one arvo would she?

It's endemic to a lot of extremists that America and at most about 5 other countries have actual sovereignty and agency, everyone else to them is just dirt to be traded around.
