One imperialist leaves, another takes the place

boredtortoise , (edited )

Transcribed for correction (could be that the original applies to some small place with some different setup there, but news about their protests don't really seem to spread to the rest of us). Not a real accessibility transcription.

"oh liberals, you care about palestine? stop tweeting and do something"

"people organize nation-wide protests and actions at great personal risk*

"you swine. i hope the police beat you libs into a fine red paste. i hope they come after your families. how dare you"

boredtortoise ,

The posted image could refer to some place where libs aren't the one protesting, unlike the countries usually seen having these protests

boredtortoise ,

Nah it seems we're saying the same thing, no falsies. Reactionaries are mostly angry for libs protesting with all the rest but of course it's true that there aren't any clear cut lines. And as you pointed out, both major US parties are very conservative

boredtortoise ,

Sure then, we're also not saying anything contrary

boredtortoise ,

Supportable idea. It's just that the people don't have the capability of that change

boredtortoise ,

Amen. I've seen so many anglocentric lemmy users conflate "classical liberalism" and "neoliberalism" as liberal while such are actually functionally the opposite to the idea. Ideologies under the capitalist umbrella limit freedoms and liberties to apply only for the upper echelon

boredtortoise ,

Maybe giving contradictory instructions causes contradictory results

boredtortoise ,

Yeah I thought that was the gist of my comment but maybe I didn't clarify enough. The right-wing appropriation of a "liberal" market is the oxymoron as it creates a hierarchy where less money = less liberty

boredtortoise ,

Time to turn the tables "No parents, you owe me because you created the debt that is my life"

boredtortoise , (edited )

Libs say that

They might be idealistic but why shouldn't we agree with them that humanity should be liberated from the hierarchies of capitalism

boredtortoise ,

This needs to be translated to every language and spread to every country

boredtortoise ,

I think I have five browser containers across three devices with dozens of tabs on each. I don't sort them. Autocomplete from the omnibox usually gives an option to jump to the tab I need.

boredtortoise ,

Libs ain't the left, it's a Venn diagram.

Libs seek to advance freedom against oppressive systems, such as capitalism

The left seeks to advance freedom from capitalism among other oppressive systems

Either way the right wingers don't like them

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't...

boredtortoise ,

I've heard green bubbles live in their heads rent free

boredtortoise ,

Landlords would get one extra month of money

boredtortoise ,

The issue here is that capitalism is a hierarchy and thus not liberal

boredtortoise ,

But libs oppose Biden as well

boredtortoise ,

Sounds like it's correct on Modi, but skirts around the topic with other examples

boredtortoise ,

In that situation, Guyana is the socialist. Venezuela's Maduro is a reactionary

boredtortoise ,

Why? Or does it go to the fridge overnight to have cool water in the morning?

boredtortoise ,

True. Not using a bidet = not true communist/socialist/anti-capitalist/leftist.

boredtortoise , (edited )

It seems that the blue led is picked by many manufacturers now for its coolness factor. There are so many appliances people have in sleeping areas with blue lights glaring and disturbing sleep

boredtortoise ,

Nice to see you truthful once in awhile. Many don't believe that the US/Russia/China are backing far right around the world despite the fact

boredtortoise ,

This time Hoss didn't get to grow up to fulfill their bootlickin' bourgeois-lovin' fash dreams

boredtortoise ,

Mod actions are of the shadow type, as in users don't get to know if they're blocked/hidden/etc unless they have a hunch and go check the modlog.

Modlog is more transparent but the former reason makes power tripping / shaping a community to the whims of a mod easy.

I don't know if there're any reporting tools to inform instance admins if a mod is going rogue
