fort_burp@feddit.nlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Poll: Capitalism is out … and socialism is inEnglish3·11 hours agoIt’s important to remember that the New Deal was a compromise between the Capitalists and the Labor Unions / Communists. There has to be a far left threat to Capital for the status quo to move to the left at all. That has been absent in the USA for decades (like you said, starting around Nixon time) which partially explains how far right the USA has moved with decline in labor’s share of profits, increasing wealth inequality and now all the way to fascist violence.
You will never get a president that just enacts sane social policies without a strong left, and that means organizing and Labor Unions.

Because that’s literally how it works in the USA (see Bernie Sanders caucusing with the Democrats), which is famous for being a strong Democracy. It is also literally how it works in China, which is famous for not being a Democracy at all lol.

The Antichrist will form an alliance with the ruler of Israel and will desire to occupy the coastal area.

fort_burp@feddit.nlto World News@lemmy.world•German jets scrambled after Russian military plane flies over Baltic SeaEnglish3·12 days agoA lot of people here encouraging shooting down a plane flying in international airspace. I suspect a lot of you are of the same mindset where it’s OK to shoot random boats in the Caribbean and kill everyone on board.
Don’t follow the war hawks ffs.

fort_burp@feddit.nlto World News@lemmy.world•Pro-Palestine actors use Emmy Awards platform to slam Gaza genocideEnglish7·19 days agoYou should look up what we read on Shabbat Zakhor, you might be surprised.
Actually Supreme Court Justice David Mintz this year said: “Jewish law recognizes three justifications for war, to inherit the land, to destroy Amalek, and to defend against an attacker.” in defense of starving the Palestinians to death. To say that this situation has nothing to do with Judaism is beyond ridiculous. Now, where we get into antisemitic territory is when we say not only “all Jews think like this” but also “they think like this because they are Jews”. There is a big difference and it is important.

fort_burp@feddit.nlto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•The Nation, oldest progressive newspaper in the US, doesn't pull any punches7·19 days agoThis is crazy. It’s like when people say “let’s eliminate a whole swath of the population because they are impure” and “please don’t murder us” are phrases that carry equal weight.
This is suspiciously close to the famous “some are more equal than others” from my favorite book, <removed by moderator>.

Texas is heavily populated by Mexicans or persons of Mexican descent, many of whom suffer serious cultural discrimination and economic adversity.

Aw man, just when not supporting Capitalism became illegal :/

Capitalism has always needed lots of support from the government in order to work (and I think we hurt Capitalism’s feelings).
