Yes, the Bandcamp page is endorsed by the Russian ABC. I’ve also linked the album here.

A reasonable criticism. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Yes, they are musicians from the band m6th. I’m not sure what the shirt refers to, but I think it means ‘helmsman’ and Lyubov’s version includes a chaos star in the form of a nautical wheel, which is fucking perfect.

The Onion article is absolutely incredible.

Are you saying it is hypocritical for him to campaign for the people in Gaza under Biden, and then continue to campaign for the people in Gaza under Trump? That’s the opposite of hypocrisy.

It is ironic that he condemned Biden because of a genocide and they both lost, and now you are condemning him because of a genocide.

In run-up to the 1964 election, civil rights leaders including Martin Luther King Jr. were given an audience with incumbent president Lyndon Johnson, where he asked them to scale down their protest activity until after the election so he could be confident he could win. They understood correctly that by continuing to protest, they had political leverage.

Imagine an alternative reality where LBJ had not signed the Civil Rights Act, and instead Barry Goldwater had won and increased the segregation and discrimination facing African-americans. Would you blame them for using the only electoral political leverage they had available, and laugh at their misfortune?

The only check the worst excesses of the Trump presidency has is the potential for widespread civil unrest. The Democrats aren’t capable of that. Grassroots Palestinian-american organizations are. In building that base of resistance, we shouldn’t make the same mistakes that caused the Democrats to lose the election. In the words of Nate Silver:

Democrats…often get angry with you when you only halfway agree with them. And I really think this difference in personality profiles tells you a little something about why Trump won: Trump was happy to take on all comers, whereas with Democrats, disagreement on any hot-button topic (say, COVID school closures or Biden’s age) will have you cast out as a heretic. That’s not a good way to build a majority, and now Democrats no longer have one.

Abbas Alawieh is concerned for the lives of his family and friends under another Trump regime. We all are. He is one of us.

I enjoy her writing too. Her piece on the threat of Facebook entering the Fediverse does a great job of making the case.

Congratulations!

Most of the darker skinned ones were already run over further back on the track.

They don’t want to give up their share of rich donors and insider trading privileges.

New details about a program from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are getting attention after the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) published a trove of internal documents about ICE’s ‘Citizens Academy’ programs.

If you live in the SF area, the OP is looking for help to get the inside too.

YDI: You called @silence7 a shill for phonebanking. As a mod, he has no obligation to take your abuse.

It’s called Tractorbeam Earth because it’s a quarterly publication run as a sweepstakes by Tractor Beverages, Inc.

Tractor Beverages is a corporation in Coeur d’Alene, ID that sells canned beverages through Amazon and Walmart, correct?

I didn’t care enough to do more than a brief investigation

Apathy and lack of curiosity towards people who think differently from you is a virtue, don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Never change, Phil.

You missed the “/s”?

No. I understand your sarcasm. I’m confused by your sincerity.

Why do you think the OP mistook SLRPNK for Democrats?

I didn’t think you were asking sarcastically. But I don’t think you’re serious.

You’re attacking SLRPNK for being covert Republican operatives when you’re simultaneously commenting in another YPTB thread that’s calling us out for being covert Democrats. I should not have to do this much hand-holding with someone who genuinely wants information. The answers are right under your nose, but it benefits your grandstanding victim complex not to see them.

You used to be mozz@mbin.grits.dev, right? Ponder.cat’s stylesheet looks nice. How does Lemmy compare to MBin from an admin perspective?

Ask this guy, I think he can guess at least one of them. Remember to tell him anarchist admins are the real authoritarians because we support our community moderators, and that we’re bad for letting people into our space to use it for political propaganda, because they are making a pretty thin and implausible claim to being on our team.
