>God I hate to use this word but it’s the only one that works… _cucked_.

Owned is a great word for this. Nearly all our news outlets are owned by billionaires which leaves journalists next to zero ownership over what they are allowed to write and how they are allowed to frame things.

It is heart breaking to see Germany begin to give in to fascism again. What happened to "never again!" ???

Too true. I was just banned on Reddit for liking too many pro-Luigi posts

That is weird to me because Jesus repeatedly condemned the rich. He even violently kicked them out of temples by whipping them and flipping tables. Jesus even said the wealthy will never enter into heaven. Jesus was essentially a proto-communist

I think religion is capable of doing great things, but yeah, more often than not it seems to be a gateway to fascism and other extreme right dictatorships.

The red text of Jesus was based. It taught me that God weeps for the sparrows so we also should value and protect nature. Jesus washing the disgusting feet of people who walked around all day in sandals without socks taught me that truly great leaders use their position to serve the weak and vulnerable. Jesus warning that it was impossible for the wealthy to enter heaven and ordering us to take care of the poor just like we would take care of him if he needed it taught me empathy and helped me become a communist.

So yeah, Christian communism is based, but Christianity under capitalism becomes a tool of fascism.

>A unified community

That's just it, we've lost all touch on what it means to be a community. Strangers that we happen to be around or live around isn't a community. To have a community, you need to have shared roots and bonds: grew up together, work together, hold festivals together, have shared spaces that you work together to improve, etc.

Americans also love to victim blame. This poor woman was violently abducted by people in masks and the first response of most Americans will be to ask "what did she do to deserve it?"

>Chinese people were afraid to discuss certain topics in public, which was not the case in the USA at that time,

Try talking about unionizing at work and see how people react. Americans are terrified of discussing critical issues in places where it matters the most.

Companies having the ability to destroy your life for having the wrong opinion is just as bad as a state doing it.

Our inner child will refuse to believe this, but history has shown us that fascists cannot be stopped peacefully.

Concealed carry might be our only real defense in the future

I'd love to move to Canada. How can I find a job there?

"Empty posturing" is a very cynical and cruel way to frame it. What would you have Zelensky do instead? Quietly let Putin and Trump divide his country up?

They want to hack and steal the Ukrainian election like they did with the US election

Trump is a fickle king, not a rational strategist. Trump unbanned Tiktok because 1. His son Baron asked him to, 2. To make Biden look bad, 3. Because Tiktok kissed the ring and made some back room deals with Trump

Hmm, so 0.00001% of their gdp? The US collectively blew around $6 billion on the 2024 Presidential election (mostly from SuperPac spending, but billionaires wasting our money is every bit as bad as tax dollars being wasted)

California tried that with their prop 65 warnings on everything and it just made people ignore all the label warnings instead.

So no, we should only target the worst offenders.

90% of Canadians on the US border so you could argue most of Canada isn't habitable for large populations.

The EU would have ally itself with China. It is a difficult choice, you have a fascist oligarchy who funded Israel's genocide on one hand (US) vs a communist country that built 40000km of HSR, countless solar panels, the most affordable electric cars in the world, and now a ton of nuclear power plants. I can't tell which country is worse 🙃

Trump absolutely will be worse, but yeah, that doesn't absolve Genocide-Joe of funding genocide
