  • Sounds like it’s time to establish a viable third party. Obviously, that is easier said than done, and many would consider it impossible. But left-wing sentiments continue to grow in popularity and we must not resign ourselves to a fate without challenging it!

    It’s crazy to think about what a viable third party would look like, and how it would get off the ground. It’s tragic and says a lot about the world we live in that the only way I see it happening is through virality — memes and influencers — but then, how is this campaign funded in a way that competes with the corpo vaults, and how do you get the right people onboard?

    For me, it was hiking to a waterfall in Costa Rica with no food and only one bottle of water. THANK FUCK it rained; we would have been in trouble if I couldn’t have had sips of water from the leaves to stay hydrated, and if the temperature had stayed as high as it was.

    Yeah, totally. That doesn’t mean we can’t / shouldn’t be aware of past actions and vehemently disavow them, especially now that he’s won! Hopefully, the next anti-establishment politician isn’t a murderer with a Nazi tattoo with intents to bolster the military and incentivize service.







  • Yeah, the only reason people are so pissed is because now instead of everyone in the US reaping the benefits of rampant imperialism and global oppression, only the elite are.

    Americans are broadly incredibly self-centered and even here on Lemmy the majority of the leftists only consider what is best for them specifically, not what is best for the world.

    I’m not being flippant, I’m being factual.

    A direct quote from the first sentence of the Wikipedia article on Zionism serves my purpose well, when someone is contesting the very simple definition of that term.

    Bernie serves the Imperial core. Bernie is a Zionist. These are irrefutable facts, as evidenced by your unwillingness to engage with the argument.

    Bernie is good for Americans, but not good for the world. How much weight you put on humanity and how much weight you put on your own wellbeing is up to you, but not everyone is American; you’d do well to remember that as you continue your political journey.

    You realize Tel Aviv wasn’t always occupied by Zionists, right? The entirety of Israel is a colonial project. You can’t just arbitrarily draw a line between one year and another and say that only ethnosupremasist colonial acts of aggression after that year qualify as being enacted under Zionism.
