Removed Comment Be nice if they did, but third parties don't do meaningful work between general elections - because they are often sock puppets for bullshit, nefarious astroturfed campaigns. I agree that we should have a viable third party and beyond, but the prerequisite is voting reform. Any third party worth a shit, that genuinely meant what they said, would become exclusively the party of championing things like ranked choice voting in all 50 states and local municipalities and overturning citizens united. Otherwise, you just know you're an intentional spoiler that can't win - as Jill Stein and the green party stated baldly last election. But they don't that do they? they get REALLY fucking quiet for 3.5 out of each 4 years. They have no reps they work to elect nationwide to meaningful positions in government. You're arguing for a child's theoretical ideal, flying in the face of our shared objective reality. And, it seems there's a good chance you're just a doodoo head, too. Love you, cutie. by @Snapz@lemmy.world

Removed Comment Hahahha.. I can tell from the ratio that people don't agree with me, but you're confused as shit. I'm not a supporter of genocide or a genocide apologist. I'm a realist. There is no way that sitting out of an election in protest, or voting republican could have stopped the genocide. The ONLY chance anyone had was to elect a Democrat majority and push hard on issues they care about. Protest in the streets to stop the genocide. Look where we are now. Worse genocide by far and protests in the streets but instead of one coherent request in the protest you've got hundreds. Please don't: Destroy social security Destroy the CDC while we have bird flu Destroy Education Rob the treasury Break agreements with every allied country Break the economy Ruin transgender lives Build concentration camps Go to war with all our previous allies for Greenland Support genocide Destroy civil rights Destroy the environment See, genocide is still on my list.. In fact if these were in proper order it would be top of the list. Call it a "least you can do" option for presidency. But instead we need to fight for all these things and we've got you, who, I guess sat this one out on principal, calling me names for it. by @socialmedia@lemmy.world

Removed Comment That is what the right wants you to do. Find anyone to blame but them. There was a huge propaganda campaign started specifically to get the centrists and undecideds to stay home. Every election is going to be a repeat of this. Facebook, TV, YouTube, anyone who can push content is going to forever say both sides are bad. And people will listen to them no matter how educated they are because propaganda works. Watch for it because they'll probably do it again: A conflict that America is only peripherally responsible for and cannot stop, being pushed as the number one issue in the next elections. The people who say Kamala ignored their issue? You vote down ticket for democrats and push those people to support your issue. This in turn pressures the president to support your issue. The democrats definitely will not help. They'll produce 6 unlikeable candidates and say, "well.. These are the only people who could possibly be our president. Also the primary is pointless because of superdelegates and split voting so we'll just go ahead and pick this one before 50% of the nation has even voted." Shit.. Sorry, I can't stay on topic because I'm impossibly cynical at this point. I'm still voting democrat because I refuse to sit out or actively support fascism, but I'm heartbroken over the situation we're in. by @socialmedia@lemmy.world

Removed Comment Well as for point 1, there is, at most, equal as much call for violence in the phrase "Free Palestine" as in "Liberate Hong Kong", so those are actually decent comparisons of calls to action. Except really, as Hong Kong is not in open war with China, there really is no need for violence. China just has to give up its false claim to it. That's even more true with Taiwanese Independence. That requires no violence at all. China is the source of the threatened violence in that case, and they simply need to recognize and respect Taiwan's Independence from them. As for your point number 2, I assume this is in reference to Tiananmen Square? First of all, you need to look up the definition of libel. "Remember Tiananmen Square 1989" does not make any claims of fact, true or not, so there is no way that that statement itself is libel. Second, I'll state outright that the massacre that occurred on June 4th 1989 is a fact, and you can kiss my ass if you are claiming otherwise. True statements, btw, are also not libelous. And as for point 3, really? I'm racist to repeat a childish meme about an authoritarian leader that his own Chinese citizens came up with? That shit started on the Chinese internet, my guy, not in the west. You have got an uphill battle if you want to claim that the Chinese people are racist against Chinese people. Dumbass. by @kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world

Removed Comment I'm genuinely trying, but I can't follow your meaning. I dont think we disagree as much as you think we do. Though, I'm not sure because I cant quite parse what you are arguing. What I can follow though is that you have a problem with me specifically saying "Free Hong Kong" for whatever reason. Whatever you think of the merits of the sentiment of freeing Hong Kong, or of me saying so as a westerner, is entirely beside the point I was making about censorship. It have no intention of arguing geopolitics or pretending that it is my area of expertise. It is a comparable statement to "Free Palestine" in so far as it supports the sovereignty of a smaller nation being controlled (or worse) by a larger nation. One is apparently censored by Tik Tok, the other would be censored by Rednote. I think censoring either is wrong. by @kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world

Removed Comment > We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office And the masks came off Edit; let's amend (profoundly as wished) if that helps someone missing the context The spectacle of TikTok pledging allegiance to Trump in the face of its ban is a stark revelation of the deeper alignment between authoritarian state-capitalism and reactionary forces within global capitalism. TikTok, a tool of China’s soft power, has long operated as an instrument of the CCP’s technocratic and market-driven strategy. Trump, a figurehead of American neo-fascism, represents the extreme contradictions of bourgeois politics in crisis, wielding populist rhetoric to consolidate power. Their sudden alignment is not an aberration but a crystallization of mutual interests: TikTok secures its foothold in the US market, while Trump uses the platform’s return to bolster his populist image and project dominance over a fragmented capitalist class. This moment unearths a truth Marxist theory has long emphasized: in times of crisis, capital will shed its ideological pretenses and unite across borders to secure its survival. TikTok’s deference to Trump is a mask-off moment for both Chinese state-capitalism and the American far-right. It reveals their shared hostility to the potential of an organized, class-conscious proletariat, particularly among the app’s young, progressive user base. The CCP and Trumpism alike aim to neutralize this energy, diverting it into consumerism or reactionary politics. In this, we see the machinery of global capital—state-guided or otherwise—aligning against the revolutionary potential of the masses, reaffirming the urgency of a unified proletarian struggle against the forces of oppression. by @tiredturtle@lemmy.ml
