Which works better? Russophobia or sinophobia? Do you just got full USA nationalist/imperialist or what? It looks like most people here are more into the sinophobia.

Those tankies gonna be so mad! lmao!!! \s

Just the other day I said “lmao, nice” on a post about the IRS open-sourcing tax software and it got a downvote.

Not a tankie, but maybe people just downvote that kind of low effort spam.

You’re literally on a post about Tankies making three whole instances full of fake users to mass downvote me because I speak out and collect evidence against them

Maybe the tankies aren't the problem?

This sounds interesting...

But I really hate the term "populism". It's most often either a slur for progressivism or a euphemism for fascism. And it primarily serves to conflate the two. After all, who are the biggest "populists" in USA? Bernie and Trump. Any useful meaning has been completely obscured. That's how hegemony maintains order. And given the choice, hegemony will choose fascism every time.

Populist movements frequently invoke religious and gendered narratives to define national identity, mobilize support, and justify exclusionary policies.

How is this "populist"? This article is clearly using "populism" as a euphemism for fascism. That's just caving to the hegemonic narrative and indirectly serving fascism. Just call a spade a spade. Call fascism fascism.

But does it inconvenience drivers for a few seconds? That's the real horror. \s

Imagine believing there's a meaningful difference between capital and the state that serves it.

This makes alot more sense if you replace all the industry euphemisms with the MIC, militarism, imperialism, etc.

And replace "setback" with "major progress for humanity".

Universe's mysteries will never be solved by pseudo-science about solving the universe's mysteries.

And for some reason, I just want to see it burn.

Technology under capitalism will be used first and foremost for the violent enforcement of capitalism. While extreme censorship is a relatively mild form of "enforcement", it's still a fundamental tool. The hegemonic narrative must be defended at all costs. Just look at the media, politicians, corporations, etc. It's all the same tales.

There's no reason to assume that ancient israel was any less evil than ancient rome.

Furthemore, that doesn't define judaism. There were thousands of years before and after roman conquest. Zios focus on the roman empire because that's their shitty justification for genocide, theft, etc.

This isn't any more fucked up than the genocide of native americans for example. Unfortunately there's nothing special about empire genociding people. But I don't think these zios are lobbying for native american rights, because zios are genociders.

Lastly this doesn't have much to do with "religion" versus "sucularism". Zionism was largely founded by the non-religious. It's goals are not religious but purely political/genocidal. The most "religious"/spiritual jews largely reject the zionist regime. Religion is a tool of empire, but the more fundamental problems are empire, colonialism, racism, etc.

 

Facebook and Instagram have failed to tackle disinformation and deceptive advertising in the run-up to European Parliament elections, the European Commission said on Tuesday as it opened an investigation into suspected breaches of EU online content rules.
