Orrrrr, now hear me out, we ratchet up the propaganda, black listing, and police responses to protests. Eh?

Not America, the greatest country in the world according to Lemmy.world, at least they must think that to always uncritically consume their propaganda.

EU is going fascist only slightly slower than the US and has been funding an actual genocide almost as hard. They will not be the world’s hope.

Hopefully the Trump presidency is a wake up call in the importance of privacy. As we slowly move towards fascism, privacy becomes more important than ever.

I do, but the US and Western leadership of the world hasn’t exactly been roses, either. They’ve destabilized a country in essentially every region and continent except Australia and Antarctica. That’s why so much of the global south is trying to start another team. Not sure if it will work, but I can’t blame them for trying.

Not so much Russia, as the rest of the world south, like Brazil, South Africa, or China. It’s about 50% of the world population in BRICS now. But it’s so varied, not sure if they’ll be able to figure something out.

Lol amazing metaphor. I’m remembering that one.

Hope they’re successful for the sake of countries like Cuba, but I imagine this will take a long time to set up and work out the kinks.

Yay! Hopefully they can turn it into something material to encourage a multipolar world, like get their payment system to work.

If they could do a genocide without costing any Israeli lives, they would in a heartbeat.

I figured they’d want to go all out to escalate the war further and try to get Trump elected. But maybe that’s not worth starting a whole new front in their 4 front war, so they’re just trying to save face for their racist, bloodthirsty population.

I’d be nervous if I was a worker or patient in that hospital right now…

Every now and then people like to conflate the Gaza situation with the Ukrainian one. Both are very unfortunate and sad, but one is waaaay worse.

Most of the enemies are there in the Middle East are because of Israel, or other things we’ve done, like invasions or funding terrorists to get oil.

Lots of people said that about switching candidates just a few months before the election but they pulled that off fine. Abandoning a pro-genocide stance seems like a low bar in that regard.

We should probably stop sending arms to Saudi Arabia, too. It’s crazy we’re still allied with them after 9/11.

The Houthi’s are helping Yemen fulfill it kind of
