the original two axis map i think shows things on a vertical axis of how tolerant you are of state violence and the horizontal axis of how tolerant you are of proxy violence (but this is rooted in my view that money is representative of theft and is a tool of oppression). this new version kind of presumes that both kinds of violence are tightly coupled which is… hard to argue against, but it still flattens rather than complicates the chart when the problem with the original chart is it is a right-wing biased over simplification

same here. i was just little when the police brutalized Rodney King. but i still remember my white neighbors being incensed about how while that was wrong, the LA riots were completely unjustified. meanwhile my Black neighbors all tried to explain that a riot is not the result of a single event and that the LA riots were the response to decades and even centuries of mistreatment

it’s uniquely cancerous in that regard, isn’t it? fascinating shit

it has an uncomfortable “i can’t tell the difference between Black people” vibe. i don’t mind people not remembering the 90s. i do mind people not double checking the broad details real quick

the real political spectrum i think has about 14 axes

the main problem with the political compass is it was created by and for authoritarian capitalists to normalize the lie that as people grow older they get more conservative. there’s far more axes than just two

Martin Luther King Jr doesn’t have any famous trial losses to his name, are you thinking of Rodney King, who was also in LA and whose trial was contemporary?

“unused ram is wasted ram”

yeah yeah yeah, great. but all you motherfuckers did that and i’m fucking out of ram.

nobody gives a fuck about that land except for the people who live on it, the people who live near it, and the people who have spent a generational fortune to occupy it and use it as a starting point for the next partition.

which all told is a great number of people.

not to mention the last set of security guarantees Ukraine received have turned out to be empty promises so, surprise surprise, they’re not willing to cede land for more empty promises

i’d just worn out a wallet after a couple years and was working my first job and wanted something that would last. the old wallet had worn out in the crease of the bifold

i used to have this wallet. it’s a wallet with a metal frame. it’s not very comfortable to carry. i bought it after searching “most durable wallet” and getting one of those seo bullshit ad sites before i knew better in 2018

didn’t realize the flavor of life was gross asshole.
not really surprised though either

particularly i call people with shallow politics who spend more time virtue signaling than trying to engage on topics of critical analysis shitlibs

they are systemically undereducated and inundated with propaganda telling them that their problems stem not from the class war but from the culture war, which has long been a dogwhistle for the race war

it’s why us lefties focus more on systems than on people. a marxist approach to history reveals that this has been happening and likely continue happening until we muster some fundamental change in how we organize. it’s like there’s an 80 year cyclical race where the “revolution” (not the revolution) happens, people accept that it’s not perfect, but it’s an improvement, they fail to educate their children about the problems with the old regime and the current regime, until eventually a time comes when no one remembers the last cycle anymore and the whole process gets repeated.

fwiw, i thought what you were saying was pretty clear hence posting the fascism definition comic that just takes what you said and puts doodles to it. but for some reason you got downvoted to hell and i got hella upvotes. i even looked at lemvotes and saw several people downvoting you and upvoting me, which i find confusing. it seems like lemmy is going through a weird moment

worth noting: he named his party the catholic socialist party.

it’s also worth noting this pattern of ebb and flow, subjugation and liberation, is as old as civilization itself. political theorists didn’t invent any of this, they just wrote down what the dissidents of their age were doing. fascism wasn’t created in the 1920s, it was merely named. Karl Marx didn’t create communism, he just named what he saw people working towards. for as long as humans have lived in hierarchical societies, they have discussed and planned how to bring about an end to these hierarchies that they suffer under.

they tout revelations as proof they need to gather their strength and expel jews to israel. meanwhile revelations describes an unchristlike figure corrupting religion to enact mass suffering. it says that the followers of this figure will not enter the kingdom of heaven, but the followers of the true church, a small number, will.

these chucklefucks are, by their own theology, paving their way into hell

all i can find is that the CIA used Radio Free Europe to communicate to the independence fighters that the NATO allies would support their uprising. then when Hungarians revolted, they found themselves wholly unsupported.

do you have any good articles showing this to be a color revolution? because this reads to me just about what happens when a fascist org (CIA) co-opts international solidarity in order to thwart real change from ever getting organized, something they were very fond of doing throughout the cold war leading to devastating effects in the global south

observe: it’s made its way here
