I'm just finally switching fully to Lemmy. I'm not from .ml but Im probably aligned with them afaik. I'm a communist.
Switched to Thunder instead of Sync and it works much better now
Those are all great in the context of US politics. But things like universal healthcare shouldn't even be part of the debate, they should just be the standard expectation.
Bernie is a centrist at best. Things like civil rights are bare minimum, I'm talking about fundamental workers rights like the right to unionize, repealing Taft-Hartley, setting up matching programs with unions so that they can buy up their companies and become worker cooperatives, etc.
I believe Bernie is more based than centrism in his real views, but his public views are centrist at best.
He exists to deal with the revolutionary energy that is building and make people feel like their voices are being heard under the current establishment. But the reality is that you need corporate backing to win an election in the US by design. It is a corporate oligarchy, not a democracy
Do you have a link to the source?
I appreciate that it is peertube
Gen Z is not the same thing as Gen Alpha. Gen Z grew up on PC.
"Redneck" was literally a labor movement term before it became a insult for poor rural people. During the Coalfield Wars (1910s-20s), Appalachian miners—many wearing red bandanas as a union symbol ("red necks")—waged open war against corporately bought private armies and the US military. The Battle of Blair Mountain (1921) saw 10,000+ armed miners (called rednecks by both sides) fighting cops and strikebreakers in the largest labor uprising in U.S. history. Socialists like Eugene Debs even rallied these "rednecks" as class warriors. The term got whitewashed later, but it started as a badge of honor for strikers.
Well I'm liking thunder a lot more anyway and it's ad free (or I'm just not noticing the ads which is whatever)
