Why is it that when democrats don’t get what they want they lash out against the actual left, instead of the far-rightists (who are actually making things worse)?

I still see democrats blaming “Bernie bros” for costing them the election, which is seriously wrong.

I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually some of them begin to blame “the woke” for their defeats

“History will not be kind to us”

I mean, the US also supported the Guatemalan genocide and appartheid South Africa, yet nobody gives a crap.

First of all, pretty much all of the indigenous city is gone. All of the bulidings are from colonial or posterior times. And second, cities are built on water all the time (Vence, Suzhou, Amsterdam) And they managed to subsit just fine. The problem came when all the infrastructure used by the natives was destroyed and the solution used was to drain the lake, which has only led to a massive ammount of problems.

Who told you that? The only one who is still on Israel’s side is the US

And democrats call themselves leftists…

Lol no

The word “liberal” is associated with the right everywhere except the US.

“the scope creep of feminism that causes it to encompass issues like disability rights and economic inequality, I think feminism is becoming indistinguishable from leftism.”

Why do you say that like it’s a bad thing?

You got called a fascist becasue you wrote:

“12 percent of Bernie’s supporters stayed home in 2020.”

and

“Why would I lecture anyone fucking over leftists? Fuck socialism.”

Which is are pretty much rightist talking points.

Edit: You also said that leftists and POC need to be “put in their place” whatever that means, so I’m not surprised you got called that.

Telling him anythin is not yanking the chain. As long as the US keeps supplying him with weapons and money he knows he can keep doing what he wants.

How is Biden yanking the chain?

He hasn’t done anything to stop the funding and the sales of weapons.

Who voted that government in?

As someone from Latin-America, I think this happens for a number of reasons, including:

1. The legacy of colonialism: The spanish caste system left a strong imprint on latin american culture tha hasn’t disappeared yet. This basically boils down to: Ligth skin good, dark skin bad. T

2. Right-wing propaganda through the internet: The terms “SJW”, “Woke” “Forced diversity” and whatnot have become very widespread in the hispanic internet. You can go to any hispanic forum and you will find people complainig about “wokies ruinning their videogames/movies, etc”

3. US-backed anti-socialist propaganda: The US pretty much killed all leftist movements in Hispanic-america during their infancy. When it didn’t kill them, it still acted with hostility towards them. On the contrary, far-right movements were tolerated if not supported directly. This has created the perfect environment for the far-right to prosper.

There are probably other reasons, but these are almos certainly involved

I witnessed the dangers of authoritarism, so I’m going to vote for… the most authoritarian douche that I can find"

Honestly I think it’s time to stop pretending they are poor refugees and treat them as the fascist assholes they really are.

Has history remembered Tomas Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah and other african leaders who fought for deconlonization? It hasn’t because they got on the US’ bad side. Heck, if you go to any subreddit and look for what people think of what South Africa is doing, you will see nothing but “We should bring appartheid back to teach them a lesson” among other really bad comments

I don’t like this, because one of the most used arguments in favor of capitalism is supposedly the free market and how you are allowed to make money doing what you like. If now it turns out that only a few things are classified as jobs then… where are the benefits of capitalism?

BuT wE hAvE FrEeDuMb!!!

I live in a Latin American country and Facebook is still massive here, even among young people, there is just no way to escape it.

As an amateur artist, mastodon is really not friendly to newcomers like me.

I had to figure out what an instance was and pick one (I chose mastodon.art since I was interested in that)

After wondering why I couldn’t find other people’s accounts, it turned out that I shouldn’t have picked that instance because it had defederated from almost anyone else.

So now I had to create another account in another instance, which turned out to be so full my posts were not getting any traction.

With Bluesky I just created an account and I immediately gained a few followers

It is just not worth the hastle.
