The entire point of the Biden and Biden/Harris campaign was to make Trump term 1 bipartisan. “No, if you hate immigrants, you should vote for me. Because Democrats fill out the paperwork properly and like bureaucracy, so ICE will work more efficiently and the Wall will be built better, faster and cheaper” - Both Biden and Harris campaigns

Lets just say, they protested and did direct action. Which is more meaningful and has a greater positive effect than some kayfabe like voting.
Saint_La_Croix_Crosse@midwest.socialto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Both Sides - Timsnekcomics2·3 months agoFor example, many say this about the Israeli/Arab conflict. However, this conflict is thousands of years old. The Israelis solidly lost a war to keep their land in the BC era
This is incredibly historically illiterate on multiple fronts. The Israeli/Palestine conflict only dates back to 1948, with precursors in 1930s. First, Israel wasn’t lost to “Arabs” in “the BC”. The Babylonians were not Arab and the exile of Jews in the 6th century BC were cultural elites and not the broader population. It was part of an attempt to assimilate Judah into the broader Babylon empire. That was defeated by the Persian empire and Judeans were allowed to return to Judea (now Southern Israel). The traditional idea of the beginning of the Diaspora was the destruction of the second temple in 70 AD and the violent expulsion of parts of Jerusalem by the Romans. Though the vast majority of the real diaspora was from immigrants to major Roman cities predating the destruction of the Second Temple and not Jerusalem exiles.
The majority of people that were living in what is now considered Israel were not Arab invaders, but the native peoples that have always lived there that, after the Arab conquest of the 8th century, started to speak Arabic and convert to Islam. The difference between a Mizrahi Jew and a Palestinian is most likely whether one of their ancestors converted to Islam in the last 13 centuries.
Not that Iron Age Philistines, Samaritans, Canaanites, etc. were secret proto-muslims secretly waiting for the Romans to purge Jews so that two millennia later “real Arabs” could occupy the “promised land”.
This is literally me with an ex-girlfriend.
It’s almost like you need an economic system to become a billionaire, control the labor of thousands of other people, and buy off other systems of accountability with your ill gained wealth. Weird, anyway, the form of society and how money/resources are allocated doesn’t matter at all, but somehow communism is still bad for some reason, even if it means more equality and lack of oligarchs.

Bald representation!

absolutely, I am still shocked that even VW needs special funnels just to do an oil change.
eh, you can save money that way, but there are still repairs that the expense is majority parts.
It is not satire, it is usually just that the blood sacrifices are usually more obfuscated and hidden.

But they needed to ban a major left wing subreddit at the same time to do a “both sides bad” thing and preempt the fascist talking points about social media having a liberal bias.

“the problem is that people don’t fully support the Democrats unconditionally. Not that the Democrats only run on being ‘Republican Lite’ and Republican voters wont support the Lite option when full calorie is on the menu”
