I’m just having a hard time understanding why someone would think that this instance likes trump. There aren’t even many sarcastic shitposts that would give that impression.

@mycorrhiza@lemmy.ml what gives you or other Lemmy users this impression?

Probably pretty expensive, and hazardous. The water can be treated and diluted until it is no longer hazardous, but you now have even more water to store if you don’t release it.

I think “social democracy” is fundamentally different in non imperial core countries, due to a lack of a proper dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Still not socialism though.

These points all do a good job verifying that the government is working for the benefit of the proletariat, but how do you determine that it is actually the workers that are in control? Can a state work in favor of the proletariat and then regress into something that favors the bourgeoisie?

For example, were the workers ever in control in the USSR? If they were, did they lose it? It seems hard to square the dissolution of the USSR with a concurrent dictatorship of the proletariat.

They couldn’t care about what long-term accumulation would do to the environment,

This isn’t a “steady state” or constant flow of concentrated waste, right? This is a transient event, as far as I understand it. It’s not like with micro plastics, where more and more of the waste accumulated (and continues to accumulate) over time.

The approach to disposal sounds reasonable.

you have to assess reactions to the Taliban by their material consequences rather than by what feeling the abstract idealism of a reaction gives you in your tummy

That might be the best sentence on dialectical materialism I have ever read.

Yeah I cringe whenever I see or hear the “oid” suffix

Actually we’re paid bot shills for the CPC, not the CCP.

ty, glhf, and all hail Xi

To any wandering libs, if you want to better understand our perspective, listen to a season of Blowback: https://blowback.show/Season-2

Or really anybody who wants to understand the Iraq War, the history of the United States and Cuba, and the Korean War from a leftist perspective. Really good reporting, includes original interviews with still living people that lived through that history.

I hate this with a passion. Linter job failures on my teams’ pipelines result in warnings, not failures. What a waste of time.

It’s up to the approvers and mergers if the formatting somewhere is too out of whack.

Ask at what time you should expect him and if Xi signs autographs

It became more and more intertwined with the right wing as the 2016 election drew closer. Gamer Gate and adjacent communities turned into a pipeline for the alt right, with YouTubers like Sargon of Akkad radicalizing libs into fascists.

I watched it unfold on r/KotakuInAction at the time. It was a weird crossroads for me.

And even after the US blew up literally all of their infrastructure, it still wasn’t enough. McArthur wanted to nuke the DPRK and China. It’s insane.

Honestly listening to blowback is a big part of the reason that I’m a ML now. It’s just one outrageously evil decision after another made by the American government. I realized how propagandized I still am - how have I never heard of this stuff before?

We need to tear this empire down.
