The great depression had the bonus march. They camped in front of the white house and were dispersed with tear gas and cavalry charge led by Douglas MacArthur.

That works until their shit gets burned.

When the only things left to buy have to be built with hands and eyes, they will have to share the wealth with the rest of us.

I wish we weren’t pinning our hopes on angry mobs. But you play the hand you are delt.

Did you mean “unintuitive?”

Intuitive means it feels right.

That’s why I advocate for anarchism.

Take the power away to coerce people.

True, but no other system disincentives children like capitalism.

It’s one of those look for the helpers kinda times. And then go to work with them.

Turkye is moving against Russia though. They overthrew Assad, a close ally of Russia. And they have sold drones to Ukraine, and trapped the Russian Black sea fleet.

A collapse of Russian power in the Caucus leaves them as top dog in the area. They have a lot to gain from a Russian loss in Ukraine.

The world understands now that he will Parrott the ideas of whoever spoke to him last. Starmer and Macron tried to right the ship and they did for 24 hours. Unfortunately, Putin has people on the inside. Tulsi Gabbard chief among them, feeding Trump a steady diet of Bullshit the Russian bots would embarrassed to type.

I certainly hope so.

Thank you for providing the evidence.

I don’t believe the Russian invasions are motivated by brotherly love or a magnanimous spirit of freedom. It’s realpolitic and the desire for greater power.

Russia tried to run the same playbook in Ukraine that they did in Georgia.

What does the ethnicity of the inhabitants of the eastern provinces have to do with national borders? Does Mexico have claims to Texas and California? Should the US conquer Canada because of the 10’s of thousands of US natives living there?

If Ukraine was abusing it’s population it should be censored, sanctioned, it’s leaders prosecuted for crimes against international law, but invasion is worse than anything short of genocide. The people of Donesk and Luhansk have had their many of their communities completely destroyed. They are not better off because of the war.

Who were they “taking the east” from?

What is the threat to Russia’s existence?

You have this backwards. The war is existential for Ukrainians. Russians decided to annex Crimea, and then luhansk and Donesk. When Kiev caught for it’s own territory, the Russians went for the capitol and attempted to overthrow the whole country.

Half a million Russian families had to get used to it already.

It’s also possible they will stop the zapp Brannigan tactics and dig in to wait for the west to lose interest.

You are talking about Russia right?

Agreed, we must all hang together…

Reading your post I am reminded of the contempt I felt for the priority police.

Lemmy isn’t exactly “the left”

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one not disagreeing with the genocide that made the calculated decision to vote straight ticket dem anyway.

Damn, that slaps.
