  • My venting wasn’t about Philippines. If you hate them that much, go complain somewhere else.

    I was clearly defending the actions of the Philippines.

    Back on topic, reading the other comments, it’s looking more and more like a rival dictator got him done in. So this really ain’t about courage, it looks more and more like getting rid of the competition.

    The International Criminal Court does not operate on the orders of world leaders. So no, a rival dictator did not get an ICC warrant issued for Duterte. Maybe don’t get your information from the comments section.






  • In this analogy, the Republicans are the shooter. Not sure how you can draw the conclusion that anyone is blaming the Dems there.

    I’ll be the first to call out people for solely blaming the Dems when that’s the case. I’ve been banned from so many Reddit subs for that very thing, which is how I ended up here at Lemmy in the first place. But that’s just not the case here. What this image is saying is that the fault of the action (the shooting) lies with the Republicans, and the Democrats (the Uvalde cops) are too cowardly to do anything to stop it. It’s a pretty damn accurate description of American politics.




  • So you’re wanting a return to some status quo,

    Absolutely not. I have no idea where you got that from.

    Without radical change, we’ll experience climate collapse. There’s no way to avoid that by straddling the middle.

    Radical change doesn’t always involve burning everything down. Believe it or not, there are more options than “do nothing” and “destroy everything”.



  • I was replying to a comment about how a lot of Leftist subs have been taken over by tankies. I was mentioning the growing accelerationist rhetoric among those same tankies. They don’t want to hear anything about fixing the world we live in, because there’s no glory in that, so all they focus on is armed revolution and collapse. They see Trump and MAGA as a good thing, because it will being about collapse of the American Empire faster.

    I will never understand people who think the only way to build a better world is to destroy the one they have.
