Sorry, the site that is expressly pro-Trump and has been removing comments critical of the current administration?

Beyond that, I wouldn’t even necessarily describe Reddit as a major player in the U.S. Most Americans are either part of META’s ecosystem or X, and both of those are absolutely pro-Trump.

Yeah there’s not much jovial energy to go around either. Any time I see misinformation today I don’t go April Fools, I just try to ignore it and move on.

What internet? The one algorithmically controlled by the oligarchs?

What TV? The stations that were purchased years ago by our country’s oligarchs?

What conversations? When everyone around them is being fed the same misinformation, and they treat anyone outside of their bubble as an enemy?

I would not assume the average American has any idea what is going on.

It’s not just theirs, I swear every fuckin streaming service has made the most dogshit algorithm of all time. If I have a playlist of 100 songs, and I hit shuffle and repeat, I expect a list to be generated with each song in a random order that will get played through until each song has been played once, and then ideally a new randomized list is generated to listen to the same 100 songs again in a different order.

For every streaming service I have used so far, my experience is that it’ll just pick a cluster of maybe 10-15 songs, and cycle through exclusively that until the algorithm either decides you want to listen to something not on your playlist, or the internet connection breaks for a second and the algorithm just gives up completely on randomization.

I dunno if I’d be able to jump or even haul a heavy conservative, but my ass is p fat and my mouth looks fuckable AF, and I would be totally willing to be the honey for this kinda trap.

because you’re only seeing through a lense that is controlled by capital, and they refuse to show the demonstrations. I went to one yesterday, there were thousands of us and we took to the streets to demand trans rights. I won’t speak to the efficacy of the protests, but they are happening. News of them is just being suppressed.

I don’t think being able to woo the toddler is a skill that should be underrated. You can wave keys in the baby’s face and still work on new international trade agreements, this doesn’t mean Carney is gonna sell out Canada. While I have some issues with him, I think Starmer is another leader that’s been doing a very good job handling Trump. Yeah, the whole “Letter from the King” thing was stupid and a little embarassing for him, but it was a lot more embarassing for Trump, and Trump ate that shit up. I think it’s very promising for Carney’s success as a leader if he’s able to do something similar.

uh, yeah? They cannibalized the entire Republican party and wear its skin like a trophy, that’s kinda exactly what we want to do to the DNC. Sure, they did it for terrible reasons and sure, the main reason they were successful was the moneied assistance of oligarchs, but there’s no arguing their success. If we want to be successful, we should study their notes.

The Vietnamese had some of the greatest strategic minds in their history leading the fight against the Americans.

So far, it doesn’t seem like there’s a single leader for a resistance in the U.S., and certainly none as skilled in tactics.

Hell yeah, keep them out!

I really want someone to just really start messing around with the human genome, see the limits of gene expression. Let’s add horns, let’s add tusks, let’s add tails, and wings, and carapaces, and antennae, and claws, let’s just see what happens. Human evolution has gotten so tired and trite; let’s add some spice.

The Cold War never ended, it just changed venues.

Honestly, with each week that goes by making to Friday feels like more of an accomplishment. Keep doing it for as long as you can, please. It brings a nice moment of comfort to my feed.

Just to be pedantic on the internet, it’s ITT: In This Thread. ITT thread is like saying ATM machine.

Did the very same people who took part in that revolution also turn around and clearly state that it is a right to rebel?

Some did say that. You can likely count the number on your hands. But one of the very first actions the newly formed U.S. government took was putting down a rebellion. They were not supporters of revolution, they were supporters of their own personal interest.

I agreed with your idea that they were oligarchs. How is that relevant?

Because there are just as many people today who would be willing to rise up blindly in defense of their oligarchs, just as they were willing to fight for their oligarchs profit margins back then.

The revolution had help, how is that relevant?

Because leftist groups in the U.S. have none. We’ve been desperate for funding for decades now. All media outlets are suppressing us. You cannot expect the same level of performance as when the oligarchs were on our side.

Are all oligarchs really the same

The ones who deliberately use propoganda to incite poor people to fight for their profits are. Hell the French aristocracy weren’t even helping the Americans for good reasons, they were just happy to use them as a warfront to weaken their real enemy in the British.

It seems like you fundamentally misunderstand the history and current situation in the United States, and are trying to criticize us without any context.

If seasonal depression is the worst thing your citizens have to deal with, that’s a pretty fucking incredible country imo.

Well the Israelis are definitely really happy.

Your point is based on fundamentally flawed information. You can make the argument that Americans should engage in revolution! But I would point the example towards the great work of unions during the Industrial Revolution, rather than pointing to one of the many times the U.S. rose up to blindly support their oligarchs.

I know it sounds fun to believe that friendship or togetherness can topple a nation that’s willing to drone strike its own citizens, but the truth is that the game is so heavily rigged in the U.S. that we have a lot of needs. We need guns, we need intelligence, and we need enough peer to peer outreach to actually organize. Without third-party assistance, it’s pretty hard to go beyond the local protesting we’ve already been doing.

Everyone likes to fantasize about Jan 6th without realizing there were big financial groups working on outreach, organization, and supporting travel to the capital to make that happen. There is no money for the left in the U.S. You really want to yell at us, at least donate to organizations like Indivisible first.

Say what you will about them but they were not hypocrites

Sorry, you’re saying the people who were committed to making a Land of the Free that excluded blacks and women weren’t hypocrites? The Founding Fathers are some of the biggest fucking hypocrites of all time.

The only thing they hated is that they couldn’t be the British aristocracy. They absolutely were oligarchs and the vast, vast majority did not due it out of noble reasons. They did it because they wanted more profits.
