"It is my stance as a Morehouse man, nay as a human being, to call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in the Gaza Strip," said valedictorian DeAngelo Fletcher.
>[Biden's] administration has blocked every international effort for a ceasefire and voted against Palestinian statehood at the UN, while providing the weapons slaughtering children in Gaza. This is nonsense.

It's no more degrading than other work. I wouldn't tell a cashier they're degrading themself by having to work to live, and I wouldn't say that to a sex worker either.
Hmmm good question. I was going to say "no qualifiers," but even terms like "strongest" and "on earth" are qualifiers.
If there were no qualifiers allowed, you would only be able to say "I want to be the creature"
I like it too! I can't say I use it regularly or anything, but I've seen some good stuff come from there.
I agree with you about r/TikTokCringe. I enjoyed that sub, and I think I watched more good short videos there than I did on Tik Tok itself.
I feel like you are even more qualified than some judge in Indiana
I predict similar results in the US. Proton is gonna be happy.
You just know there are some people out there who feel like they've just won a decades-long debate with their friends
I'll help you find the way out. Sorry for troubling you with different viewpoints. That must be so hard for you.
I hate that she used a messy break up as an excuse to abuse these boys. A lot of people go through messy breakups all the time, and guess what they don't do.
Lemmygrad isn't even federated with us, and .ml is a large instance with users of many political affiliations and beliefs
Oh conservatives do the same thing here, which creates the illusion for many people that the Democrats are leftist. They do the same thing in Canada. Ironically, our Democrats are always compromising with Republicans, so there's ultimately little difference between the two parties.
Fair enough. I've literally never met a liberal who didn't somehow want to protect capitalist infrastructure, so this is also a new concept for me. If you have any texts about this, I'd love to read up on it. My perspective is bound to be US-centric because that's where I live, unfortunately.
I appreciate that clarification, and I don't think you are trying to start a debate. Just be aware that we have users here who have experienced trauma via liberalism as I'm defining it -- for example, my own family members being dehumanized, labeled "illegals," and subsequently incarcerated and deported under self-proclaimed liberal leadership, while being told that it's ok since 70% of people believe there is a "border crisis."
I suspect you and I agree on a lot of things, but I hope those links help see what I'm talking about. Liberalism as I've seen it defined always seeks to regulate or fix the system from within, often through incremental change.
First comment is suggesting that perhaps using the "trolley problem" as an excuse to overlook the harm and genocide of marginalized groups isn't useful and we need to dismantle the system.
Two commenters echo liberal state propaganda talking points, one even going so far as to introduce a strawperson -- "Oh you want us to do it while..."
Both commenters are very clearly establishment liberals, but I'm not going to link to their profiles because I refuse to introduce the possibility of brigading into this community, so you'll have to take my word for it, sorry. Go visit any news community on lemmy.world in a post criticizing Biden, and you'll see this type of thing.
Our media produces a nonstop torrent of ready-made takes and reporting justifying inaction and indifference.
People said the same ignorant things about monarchy/feudalism as we hear people saying about capitalism now.
Stop thinking we can fix the system because we can't. The system itself is the problem.
Not looking to start a debate, and as an anarchist I've come to a pretty solid conclusion that election isn't going to fix anything, but I also see the point that Trump and his supporters are more extreme fascists than the obvious fascist currently in office.
But it's not like we have time to deal with incremental change like the liberals think. Our planet is dying, people are being killed, tortured, imprisoned, and displaced by our current leadership and system. So how can I validate that?
I'd love to hear some thoughts because I honestly don't know what to do.
Keep in mind I've had family deported under Biden who continues to double down on his support for border fascism and his dissemination of the myth of a "border crisis." Keep in mind that people may have friends and loved ones who've died or been displaced in Palestine due to Biden's support for the genocidal state of Israel.
And please avoid telling me that Trump is un-American or that he wants to destroy America, because that honestly sounds like you're heaping praise on him.
I'd like to know how/if you think I should vote, but also what more urgent action we can take because we're not going to make it at this rate, no matter which rich white dude ends up in office.
This thread is open to share your perspective. Just don't be an asshole, please.
Last May, a CrimethInc. agent was invited to speak about “The End of Ideology and the Future Events” on a panel at the 2010 Babylonia festival in Athens, Greece. We’ve polished the notes from that ...
One quote from this that sticks with me:
>Questions precede answers and outlast them: every answer only perpetuates the question that begot it
I'm so opinionated at times, but trying to circle back to the questions and remain open to exploring answers without leaning on "this text says..." or "that person addressed..." but it's uncomfortable.
