was almost beaten to death by 20 people, it was some gang fude, one of my friends punched some gang member in the face, because he bullied him some time ago
I didn’t dodge the bullet, but give it that day, the moment I shot the first gang member, the others ran away (this was in europe and I was the only one armed)
no, what’s forced on others, no matter how nice is authoritarian
depends on the instance, if you’re nice it’s really hard to get banned on .world or blahaj.zone, on grad or ml tho you gotta be authoritarian
More problematic to whom?
people living under the threat of them
Where are the chinese wars and regime change operations?
cold war (they did the same as the us, but just lost), tibet, uigurs, taiwan, mongolia, and don’t forget their brutal mining operations in africa
At least Russia only attacks its neighbors at most so countries far away have nothing to fear, unlike the US invading and destroying countries all around the globe.
but in return the us only conqueres nations far away from them (at least in the last 100 years), also that’s not really better, russia got a lot of neighbors
the US is the bigger threat to real freedom in the world
imo, it purely depends on the region you’re looking on
most brutal empire in history
historically britain outcompetes them imo, but in the 20th century, yes they were, now I’d say china tho, just look at their actions in africa, they’re kinda repeating briyish history there
but it’s nice, that you have manners and don’t want to ban everyone disagreeing with you like some on grad
usually russia, but china as well
also just for clarity: I’m an anarchist, I don’t like any state, so pointing out that the US isn’t better doesn’t help the discussion (sorry if you had to read this, I still got traumatized by the stupidity on grad)
depends, if you are banning me for using slurs I wouldn’t think you’re in an echo chamber, even if I was the biggest bigot on this planet, however, people on lemmy have banned me for stating my opinions like “I don’t want to live in an autocracy” or “kamala is still better than trump”
I think they moved right, because they couldn’t compete against trump, obama for example was a pretty good start if you ask me
compared to voting more extreme parties not bad actually, the last time I voted the communist party it didn’t even get into parliment and I don’t think it will next time
or are we talking about voting in generall?
winning isn’t just winning an election, also, do you think the dems would have gotten more right wing, if the polls said something like 60% for them?
not a lib, just think that we should always vote the lesser evil, even if it isn’t good. also the time isn’t ripe for a revolution yet, and, no offense, even if it was, what have you been doing to change society?
also how has what been working out for me?
this meme is true, but in a different way than intended: it says, that you always should vote the lesser evil, since else the lesser evil will become more and more evil
as I statet, there are nazis everywhere, that includes ukraine, but we both know how OP intended this post
well, then I’m an “anti-marxist” I wouldn’t really like to put it that way tho, since I agree with him on a lot of things
also sry for twisting things, it’s been a long time since I read marx
I don’t belive marx to be really auth, since he was striving for a stateless society, I just disagree with him on how we get there
so I’m not exactly an anti marxist, but neither a marxist
my argument isn’t that marx isn’t left (especially since I’ve read his later works), nor that auth-left isn’t left… just that I’m an anti authotitarian leftist
ik, it’s just that I’m anarchist left
when they say they’re left, but then they’re authoritarian
there are nazis everywhere, I don’t know your intents, but this meme supports a certain imperialist nation, that attacks its neighboring countries and is lead by a dictator advocating for queerphobia and classism
ofc china is the best super power in the world!!!
except if you live in africa… or taiwan… or tibet… or mongolia… or hongkong… or you’re a uigur… or you’re queer… or you’re black… or you’re a farmer… or you live in a tofu dreg building… or you like human rights… or free press… or privacy…
should I go on?
you see, china does a lot of bad things that don’t require bombs, which the us doesn’t, but in return they throw bombs, both are just imperialist genocide driving forces, as most states
also china’s not that far away from throwing bombs:
