OP, what is your goal in signal boosting this asshole on an explicitly leftist instance? He certainly seems to be just another Russian shill.

Massie's political stances:

In 2019, Massie was the only member of Congress to oppose an act that refused to recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea.[119] He was also one of three members to oppose a March 2022 resolution supporting Ukraine's sovereignty after it was invaded by Russia.[120][119] He later amplified Russian claims that Ukraine was developing biological weapons. Referring to Victoria Nuland's statement that Ukraine had biological research facilities that the U.S. feared might be seized by Russia, Massie tweeted, "I didn’t take the concern over Ukrainian biological labs seriously ... until now."[121] Massie opposed a resolution in 2022 to support Sweden and Finland joining NATO, saying he did not want to "subsidize socialist Europe's defense".[122] In March 2024 he voted against House Resolution 149 condemning "the wrongful and illegal kidnapping of children from Ukraine" by Russia, one of nine Republicans to do so.

On Environmental issues:

Massie rejects the general scientific consensus on climate change.[127] He has said, "I think the jury is still out on the contribution of our activities to the change in the earth's climate".[127] In 2013, he implied that cold weather undercut the argument for climate change, tweeting, "Today's Science Committee Hearing on Global Warming canceled due to snow".[128] During a 2019 House Oversight Committee hearing on the impact of climate change, Massie suggested that concerns over rising carbon dioxide levels >were exaggerated.[68][69]

Massie supports dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency.[129] He voted to block the Department of Defense from spending on climate adaptation.[130] He voted to repeal the Stream Protection Rule, which imposed stricter requirements on coal >mining to prevent coal debris from getting into waterways.[131]

In 2018, after French President Emmanuel Macron spoke to Congress and mentioned his desire that the United States rejoin the Paris Climate Accords to curb climate change, Massie said Macron was "a socialist militarist globalist science-alarmist. The dark future of the American Democratic Party".

On Human Rights:

Massie was the sole member of Congress to vote against the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act in November 2019[159] and the UIGHUR Act condemning the treatment of Chinese Uyghurs in December 2019.[160][161] Massie clarified on Twitter that his reasoning was that it is not the role of the United States to intervene in other nations' internal affairs.[162] Massie was also one of only three House members to vote against the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act in 2020,[163] and was one of >14 House Republicans to vote against a measure condemning the Myanmar coup d'état that overwhelmingly passed in 2021.[164]

On February 26, 2020, Massie voted against making lynching a federal hate crime.[165] On February 28, 2022, he was one of three representatives to vote against the similar Emmett Till Antilynching Act.

On Healthcare:

Massie supports repealing the Affordable Care Act.[172] In 2017, he criticized Republicans' efforts to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act, saying the efforts fell "far short of our promise to repeal Obamacare".

On Disaster Relief:

Massie is among a handful of members of Congress who consistently vote to block disaster relief. However, when Kentucky has been hit by natural disasters, Massie has supported disaster relief. Stating, "While it’s true that I’ve consistently voted against bloated spending bills and unbalanced budgets, it’s also true that once these bills pass, it’s my constituents who must bear the burden of the taxes and debts incurred by these bills... Therefore, I advocate for our congressional district’s fair share, if those bills ultimately pass."

On Immigration:

Massie voted against the Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 1158) which effectively prohibits ICE from cooperating with Health and Human Services to detain or remove illegal alien sponsors of unaccompanied alien children (UACs).

Other stances:

In October 2019, Massie criticized the jail sentence for Maria Butina, a Russian citizen who pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as a foreign agent in the United States. Butina had sought to infiltrate the National Rifle Association of America in order to influence a more favorable U.S. foreign policy towards Russia. Massie described her jail sentence as motivated by Russophobia. In August 2019, >Massie said that former FBI Director James Comey should be put in prison instead of Butina.[192][193]

In September 2020, Massie said Kyle Rittenhouse, who was charged (but later found not guilty) with first-degree intentional homicide after shooting two people at a protest following the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, had shown >"incredible restraint", noting that Rittenhouse "didn't empty a magazine into a crowd."

Massie released a statement in 2013 in which he called Roe v. Wade "one of the greatest judicial travesties of our time", then went on to say he believes life begins at conception.

The political system is completely fucked. Going grassroots with direct action is currently the best way to both resist, and build horizontal decentralized power that isn't prone to the corruption and lobbying that the democrats have fallen to.

1. find local communities and get involved to make connections
2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment's income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
3. Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)

This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.

4. Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany's success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.

Coincidentally, I made a post about the merits of replacing ProWritingAid or Grammarly with Grammatik, a grammar checker from 1998.

Good stuff! Thanks for supporting PieFed! :D

I don't think it is actively ignoring it, it's just that this is a video on Lysenko in particular, who is responsible for taking advantage of that system of wishful thinking and scientific suppression.

This individual's theories were directly responsible for the events and deaths that occurred. An ideological system willing to suppress science is also complicit in those events, but it takes someone like Lysenko to fully utilize such a system.

I don't disagree that it ended badly, but had the movement not been pacified by the government's bait of reform and a new constitution, it could've been revolutionary.

Your people showed the incredible potential of collective power and collective civil disobedience. The documentary shows both the victories, and the failures to learn from, just as Hong Kong did.

The political system is completely fucked. A 3rd party might help, but it seems fairly inevitable that they too will become like the democrats as financial interests and lobbying corrupt them against the will of the working class. I think going grassroots with direct action is currently the best way to both resist, and build horizontal decentralized power that isn't prone to corruption.

Highly recommend Linux Mint. It's the most beginner friendly, smooths things over, has a great app store, and will make you feel mostly at home.

It's a fun little game. Def worth grabbing if you haven't played it.

It's quite possible these guns really are just going off due to stacked tolerances. ForgottenWeapons did a good video on the theory.
