i dunno. i'm annoyed and entertained by it, and more the former than latter.

i'm actually laughing

Your comment is pretty honest with what the West's endgame is here. Obviously that account is an alt and probably abandoned but viewers can learn from this toxic admission of truth:

-splinter and destroy Russia to restore the practice of shock doctrine to harvest the country of its labor and resources.

• destroy China's BRI (Belt & Road Initiative) to unify Asia and Europe through rail and infrastructure

• Focus on balkanizing China and harvesting their resources and labor once again.

• Move on to Africa afterward, and renew an age of 18th-20th century American-European imperialism.

hey congrats!

I feel like in two months we'll be back where we started and be a de facto stand alone instance in the lemmy verse.

Synapse of this quote also reminded me of this Daily Show segment with Switzerland and John Oliver.

"Is this neutral anger or real anger?"

the art of scapegoating isn't rational. myths prevail over historical prescedent in favor of the fantasy that lay in the future.

:You're all bots for not wanting the violent dissolution of America's enemies (because I might get some of the spoils from its destruction!)

While on vacation, from far away did I see an old crush from years ago, and my heart sank. I avoided contact and being seen.

My face, flush. my rationality, gone. my self-esteem, vanished.

I wouldnt know to mistake this with love or if it was an onset of limerence, but it's a very unpleasant feeling.

I think a lot of post-Bernie socialists started out at the same thought and aspiration: "*I just wanted some help starting my life. I don't want to worry about increasing costs of living, rent, food, clothes, food, healthcare, education and job training. I want my opinion and voice to matter to my company, my community, my society."

Some people went further with it, deciding in their mind: *And I'm willing to fight for it through political activism, protesting, mutual aid".

Then others also think in a lateral but not perpendicular way: *But I don't want to fight for it, risk prison, or give up my comforts. I'll stick to canvassing for Berniecrats".

I can appreciate being averse to the fetishization and valorization of political violence as form of entertainment or coping mechanism, but eventually society's dysfunction becomes untenable and unmalleable that a catharsis must come to pass: revolution or fascism.

Not all revolutions are violent. They don't have to be repeats of the revolutions of a century ago. Revolutions manifest when the administrators of the state - not necessarily it's enforcers - just lose faith in the state and start defecting. These types of non-violent revolutions can happen.

If thinking about the process of revolution is unpleasant, then imagine a society after a revolution.
