If the wording is so bad, presume it is AI written.

In that case, there is only so much the public could tolerate. The military and policing action in LA to rightful protest against grievances to the government is the culminating point.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It isn’t just the Kurds.

The only time I can think of where the army and police killed protestors was during the Vietnam war, and those incidents further delegitimised US involvement in Vietnam.

The weapons they’re using on protesters right now are called “less lethal” for good reason.

They are being used for decades now. It is not unique to the current LA protests.

You do realise there are other Syrian rebel factions?

No one gives sympathy to protestors who fire the first killing shot on the authorities. Syrian peaceful demonstrators turned rebels have sympathy from the world because they were fired at first by Assad. Many people soured on the French Revolution at the time when The Terror occurred after the people started executing just about anyone deemed enemies of the revolution.

No one is against violence if it has to come to it, but on Lemmy it is the usual suspects (I probably don’t need to mention what political ideology they tend to be) who want to pull the trigger first on the army and police without ever thinking of consequences (they wilfully ignore the existence of Insurrection act). They are like the 2nd amendment right wingers, looking for any opportunities to fire their guns and live their fantasies, but on the opposite extreme end of the political aisle.

Or, it could be anti-Western actors stoking violence on Americans to maximise political divisions because it will tremendously help if US is thrown further into chaos.

Edit: wording

I am a minority, but I have had reservations to DEI initiatives. I am partial to France’s approach of not recording race, gender and religion on workplaces whatsoever. Although with how Trump handles it, being anti-DEI in the US is really a shotgun approach to basically just hiring 99% white men.

In social media, Russian bots pretty much defend their online disinformation as revenge for stoking color revolutions. But I say to them, even if that is the case, what is wrong with promoting democracy? The Russian disinformation campaign is the reverse by stoking non-democratic ideals.

Alright, have it your way. I like your cooking.

That’s racist. What did the honey do to you?

It is bit of both. Like I said in another post, some parents are lazy and place responsibility of teaching to someone or something else (in this case, the tablet, phone or computer). Parents don’t realise the kind of content their kids are consuming (I know some parents both work at the same time and couldn’t look after their children).

On the one hand, social media companies are already aware of the deleterious effects their algorithms have on society, but don’t give a shit because that’s how they make money.

Everyone is involved raising children. As they say, it takes a village to raise a child.

Yeah. Previous Democratic presidents deported more people than Trump, and yet Republicans see Trump as better at handling immigration. US conservatives simply want to see someone rough handling immigrants.

I thought Jean was already paid?

But it is strange that there are downvotes even on the most of innocuous comments.

And I started a culture war so that anyone who raises concern to the immigration and how it suppresses wages will be silenced and called a racist by the left even though it undermines their own cause.

Also applies in housing. Private developers build houses, then foreign vulture capital funds outbid the locals, and VCs raise the rent prices to extortionate fees. When it is pointed out that foreign corporate buyers contribute to housing crisis, neoliberals and NIMBYs go “are you racist?” And the government (including local NIMBYs) is only too happy not to build social housing to artificially inflate property and rent prices. Many politicians in my country own multiple properties themselves. And people wonder why the far-right is on the rise…

Dammit you are going to stir the hornet’s nest!

But your argument, they are not the same in spite of working towards the same goal. I don’t think you realise your contradictions.

So keep voting blue no matter who anyway even if the end goal is fascism. Gotcha.

I don’t know why you can’t comprehend that there’s more than one path to the same goal.

If the same goal is towards fascism, then they are the same.
