Is the answer not chattel slavery?

Sure, we lost a prominent one. But we will always have plenty of MAGAs cosplaying as leftists just from federating with .ml.

But it’s not a good fit for those comments. If they want to have a little community to hate on Linux and ban everyone who doesn’t what is the problem?

The results of publicly-funded pharmaceutical research also rightfully belong to the nation.

Anyone know of a color ereader that I can get a custom Linux distro on? Maybe Pine64 will do one eventually.

Perhaps it is a better strategy to reject Repubs who might actually convince people who actually vote, and instead go after socialists on lemmy.ml who have all been spending the last several months writing that both sides are the exact same side with zero differences.

Ok, but how can Finland afford the nesting-doll yachts if they are giving out money that should have gone into billionaires’ hoards?

Yeah apparently there was enough arson happening that the mayor requested and Walz approved.

Oh, wait, sorry, I mean, Walz, completely unprovoked, sent the National Guard after regular protestors for nothing other than using their First Amendment rights. So the situations there and with Donald here are the exact same thing.

I addressed your “supporting evidence.” It turns out it very easy to have supporting evidence if you pretend deliberately being arrested is the same as being brutalized over a protest. You do not address that. “They’re different but actually the same. Therefore both sides are the same.”

It turns out if you define fascism such that everyone in the government are the same party contributing to it, then both sides are equally fascist. “Dictator day one” is the same as “small business” because the economics are the fascism. Are ridiculous tax cuts for the wealthy the same? “Yes, both sides are the same because the Dems are not stopping it.” Oh. Should we vote against more tax cuts by hoping the facade that the “Dems” (Uniparty, actually, muh both sides) are against it? "No, because of reasons.

“They should ignore Uncommitted, listen to their wife instead, throw their ballot in the trash. I’m not urging anyone to vote in any way, just discussing economics.”

“Far right violence is rising under Biden because of disparity.” Oh. Should we have a president that maintains a facade (muh both sides Duopoly, of course) of being against far-right violence or one that encourages it. “Actually both are the same.”

Yes, your arguments are very serious and you are the only good faith participant here.

If you were capable of commenting in good faith, I’d roll with it. Instead you drop points (Uncommitted) when you are proven wrong, give false equivalences between responses to protests, participate in bothsidesing when one side is saying Haitians eat pets.

Your only position is to assert economic theories as material fact, and pretend that your assertion proves conditions are equally awful under Donald or Harris. Socialism is equally hard under Donald or Harris.

Unfortunately for your argument, one half of the (muh both sides) Duopoly will in fact more swiftly reach the point where they are executing socialists. It will be harder to get to socialism while socialists are being executed. Therefore we should take actions that may delay that.

Why bother? There wouldn’t be any more voting in 2028.

Whether we are under Dems or Repubs, economic conditions are the exact same for everyone, I see. Are student loans the right direction? No, of course, Dems deliberately caused Repubs to obstruct that. Dems are Repubs. Therefore throw a ballot in the trash.

Sorry, I’ll try to go with your definition of fascism. So fascism is when protestors are arrested, either because they deliberately got themselves arrested or if they are snatched up in black vans.

We went over this. Both sides bad. Ratchet effect. Therefore instead of trying to rest against a tooth, let it click backwards another step.

There’s no difference between Harris’s “small business owners” and Donald’s “dictator day one” in terms of fascism, I see.

You’re right about organizing outside of elections. You’re wrong about “elections alone cannot fix it therefore throw your ballot in the garbage.” Whatever the solution is, I would rather attempt it under a slower transition into fascism.

You did write that. But you cannot tell the difference between New York arresting protestors who deliberately enter a fenced off area as civil disobedience and the federal government doing black vans and urging violence. So I don’t know if I trust your perspective or opinions on much of anything.

Therefore allow it to come faster with Repubs, I see.

I see. Both sides bad, and colluding. Ratchet effect. But instead of pushing the gear so we rest against a tooth, allow the ratchet to do another click. Ignore Uncommitted, since we don’t like what they’re saying any longer. Listen to individuals when we like what they’re saying. What we like is to have a ratchet click. Then socialist revolution with Repubs at the helm.

Arrests are the same as black vans and the president urging for brutalization of protestors, I see.

Are Dems improving things, or improving them fast enough? No. But I think the reality of today is that the only ones not better off under a Dem administration are wealthy people and bigots who want society to be a white supremacist hierarchy. I’m not saying people are well off, I am saying the alternative is worse, and by a lot.

If it were not possible to win an election as a MAGA the political parties would have to move further left. Instead we have Dems looking back on elections and deciding to move further right in attempt to pick up voters who actually cast a ballot.
