the USSR was really only successful during it’s period of industrialization, past that they didn’t advance much and really only coasted on oil until that started to crash and basically killed them. Stalin also had some, interesting ideas of leadership.

China is an authoritarian state, has been for a long time, mao was, arguably one of the worst leaders ever. Created a massive famine that killed millions just so he could make a single nuclear bomb.

I’m not particularly familiar with the rest, so i can’t really comment. I guess you could argue that the US has done bad things, but so has basically every super power. It’s not really anything new. The primary thing is that the US still exists, china also does, but they’re also having domestic issues as well.

He spent decades campaigning on anti-crime discourse that prioritized higher budgets for police to spend targeting minority communities, a fact he was absolutely aware of.

this was during the 90s crime wave? Right?

Let his failure be a galvanizing lesson about all the failures of American liberalism. Leftism is the only true political opposition to fascism.

i have yet to see a single lefty produce a functional model of government. Liberals base their entire ideology off of a functional governmental model. You have an uphill battle in this regard.

i think that institutions should be respected.

It’s the number one problem in american politics right now, everything we are currently experiencing, is from people treating politics like a toy. Rather than an institution.

It’s so incredibly hard to state how critically important it is for the functioning of society, that the structures running our society, are respected.

ok?

So what if i just argued that “cocksucker” just meant that you would suck someones cock if you got you something. I.E. you’re easily bribed/manipulated. As far as i know, that’s how most people use it.

That’s literally the implication like 99% of the time. If you wanted to insult someone for being gay, you would just call them a faggot or something lmao. No need to mince words at that point.

derek sounds like a dick.

What you do in private does not necessarily reflect who you are in public. And who you are in public, does not necessarily reflect who you are in private either.

what about it?

true, if you use the internet at all, in any capacity you support the lifestyle of nazis (nazis use the internet)

yknow, i’m starting to realize that i think i respect the people of russia, and china, specifically those in the military, and government more than pro palestine people support/respect israelis, and im not sure how i feel about that one.

i was not ready for the furry posting, but here i am

it really is so true.

you install linux on one machine, and then suddenly every other machine you own has linux on it, ssh, and you use shit like rsync to manage shit over the network. Before you know it you’re running a snapcast server to manage multiroom audio automatically configured into your smart home network. (i haven’t gotten this far yet, but it’s eventually going to happen lol)

The pipeline is real.

They are blaming people who are powerless and desparing.

you reap what you sow, these are the same people that were proclaiming EXACTLY what you’re proclaiming now, just a few months before the election, 6 months prior, a year prior, two years prior. We’ve been saying this the entire time, nobody listened, nobody has started listening, and nobody will continue to listen, what are we to do if not watch the world burn?

“claim to have stolen 6200 dollars and spent it on 100 inflatable sea lions”

Honestly, i’m not even sure this is a crime. Can you imagine being a juror in court for this shit?
