@ahjhvvb @simon59027 @BadSocialisms There’s nothing inherent in social democracy that requires neo-colonial exploitation. It’s just something rich countries do.

@DanielLaster12 @BadSocialisms Scale and resources work in favor of the socialist project.

@ToshCooey @MrHandicripple @aimeeterese He pulled from a bunch of languages. Lucas explicitly states the rebels are Viet Cong and the Empire is the US. Fast forward to today, Hamas is the Viet Cong, and the US/Israel is the evil empire. Lucas was initially going to direct Apocalypse Now, making the US clear bad guys.

@ToshCooey @MrHandicripple @aimeeterese Lol. George Lucas literally said the Galactic Empire is based on the US’s technological advanced army vs guerilla fighters.

@ToshCooey @MrHandicripple @aimeeterese Ghetto resistance fighters vs Israel (backed by the world’s greatest super power).

I’m siding with the imperfect resistance fighters. I hope you do too. Might be time to rewatch Star Wars and see who you align with.

@USAP_COG @Filmantopia @kenklippenstein I dunno. I feel like she was beholden to Pelosi/DNC/the party elite who were promising her a contingent path to VP. Transitive law of beholdenness to Israel.

@Reason715 @SubparSammich @stelzner_n1150 I expect boomers to continue to act selfishly until they die. I’d like them to start voting for candidates who will redistribute ill-gotten wealth.

@necros111 @gastankone_ @PostBudClarity @omgsidewalks We have evidence against that.

@ToshCooey @MrHandicripple @aimeeterese Israel set up the conditions for 10/7. Israel knew it was going to happen and let it happen. The goal was always to manufacture a cover story for genocide and territorial expansion.

@ToshCooey @MrHandicripple @aimeeterese Israel

[ExpedientFictioner @PlaceboFoods]

@ToshCooey @MrHandicripple @aimeeterese Who killed more people, the guys in pickups and hang gliders, or the 28 Apaches that exhausted their full payloads and reloaded multiple times, firing hundreds of rockets and thousands of 30mm rounds? And who benefited from maximum carnage?

@mattyglesias Depends on how quickly you build an additional 200,000 stabilized units. Stabilization alone is probably bad, but it’s a good first step if it’s part of a wider plan.

@Mr_Lucky101 @omgsidewalks That’s liberalism captured by capitalism. Absolutely not socialism.

[ExpedientFictioner @PlaceboFoods]

@JoshDotOverholt @DanTown22 @burziyech @LVDchaps @six8jay @DarrenBaileyIL It’s to be part of a militia to overthrow a tyrannical government. And I think most people who own guns are so fucking stupid that they vote for tyrannical leaders who reduce freedoms and only allow them to own guns that would be useless to overthrow the government.

@OmegaTir @omgsidewalks We all know paper straws and plastic recycling are deliberate misdirection. We need to let developing countries develop. And developed countries need some degrowth — data centers sure seem like a step in the wrong direction.
