Users in .ml are so silly.

Most of you I assume identify or support socialism right? Why Russia then? Because they once were a communist country? Because China is allied with them?

I see a lot of support for Palestine from .ml users but hate towards Ukraine. What's the difference there? Why is one invasion acceptable and even supported but another not?

• "Ukraine is Nazis!!1!1" A whole country is Nazis? Really? Russia isn't also chock full of racism? Aren't socialists supposed to be fighting for their fellow workers. Shouldn't you be upset Russia is grinding an entire generation away over a special 3 day operation as he attempts to destroy Ukrainian proletariat?

It makes no fuckin sense. Russia is an oligarchy, Putin is a warlord. Why do y'all want to support that it's pathetic.

Didn't realize that was a thing.

I had to get a drug test recently for work, the lady testing me said I had some of the most hydrated pee she's ever seen. So I guess you could say I'm well hydrated

I can do meth. Don't tell me I can't do meth because I've got some meth and I can do it

I think mods on reddit used to be worse honestly. Maybe like a decade ago or slightly more. Just my opinion though.

Mods here be fuckin losers though tbh. Like just shut up and remove the spam bots you dweebs

I don't disagree Nixon was huge but I think it goes from before that.

I personally really think it started directly at the start with the creation of the political parties, something Washington foresaw but also the establishment of America by the wealthy slave owning elite made this direction inevitable. But we could argue a lot about that.

Andrew Johnson's presidency and the assassination of Lincoln left scars that never healed and created the mould that I think the conservative base still stems from. Ever heard that quote "the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires" I really think there's a weirdo psychic hole these people experienced without even being fully aware. A lot of them come from former slave owning rich families and that underlying knowledge they used to have wealth did something to them.

You can also look at the wannabe coup against FDR, the Business Plot, rich fucks basically wanted to overthrow FDR.

Those three things to me really set the groundwork and then marches in Allen Dulles and his CIA. In a conversation with Charles de Gaulle, JFK admitted he didn't have control over the intelligence apparatus which was plotting to assassinate de Gaulle.

Then marches in Nixon and not soon after Reagan. The culture divide from the dawn of America, the humiliated and now destitute former slave owners with generational anger, the tycoons and their confidence to plot and peel away at democracy, a compromised intelligence apparatus with a black budget likely stemming from drug and human trafficking which they are in charge of investigating.

Suddenly the whole scene is set. The wealthy get their Epsteins, their cocaine, the means to hide it, the political pawns to support it and an ignorant, desperate base to use as their voting bloc. Gerrymandering only makes it all too easy especially with the broken representation system where smaller populations literally have more voting weight.

Government transparency, wealth distribution and strong social safety nets to reinforce education and healthcare, ranked voting, an end to gerrymandering and a heavy blow to how votes matter are, to me, the first steps to start fixing some of this shit.

I agree they're running low on fuel. But a cornered rat and all that.

I think it's more that by asking there were more questions that writers wanted to answer, no?

It's like d&d once you ask for the merchant's name they suddenly have a whole life behind them

This is gonna cause some grump.

Both the EU and America have a race problem but I dunno from my perspective racism in Europe is so much more common and unchallenged. I think a lot of people have an inflated view of American racism cause they talk so often about it. I also don't think the racism is the same, a lot of Europeans seem more racist about cultural differences than just skin color where Americans seem more skin deep racists.

I dunno just my opinion though.

I also think these parts of the world are the most culturally diverse so they talk about it but other parts of the world are SOOOO much more racist it isn't even a comparison.
