@motherquoter@SunMoonR1s1ng When the right doesn't get enough votes to do what they want, they use it as motivation to vote even harder the next time.

@novatjerneld@te_Neil_et@lovechazelle With the way that streaming works, I wouldn't be surprised if it's becoming less of a thing than it used to be.
I'd totally believe that kids are being exposed to less old/classic media as we move away from physical media and increasingly rely on streaming services.
@lovechazelle@BorkEternal "The movies but prestige TV" is not a thing that anybody was asking for.

@SvidentK @Normal1917 @DumbTankieTakes Japan was forced to drop its colonial empire right as global geopolitics made colonial Empires too expensive to maintain.

@OhHowByronic@RonFilipkowski "Empathy good" when empathy doesn't get in the way of his goals
"Empathy bad" when it does.
He's actually very consistent...
@jamesberke_ Tankies are doing exactly what you would expect an ML to do.
They see the US as an imperialist power to be dismantled so they're doing their best to dismantle it... if a few eggs have to be broken in the process? So be it.
That's just "scientific socialism" at work.
