state and revolution is actually quite short, but still you're asking too much of them

fuck corporations, especially the big ones.

Lemmy will survive.> wouldn't it be better to take care of it, not just "survive" ?

Rather than blaming the individuals for the doom of the entire country, i'd point the finger at the institutions that let this happen.

Several european govs never truly dealt with their dictatorships from ww2, be the nazis, the fascists, or whatever the spanish and portuguese were doing. Throw in all the collaborators as well. These ideologies never really went away. If you'd like to dive more into the topic, Bes D. Marx and Yugopnik have some excellent material on yt, with additional sources in the video descriptions

There are better alternatives to doing any damage as a loner. Be part of a mass movement, so that when the "crime" is done, pretty much everyone is backed by lawyers, as they should. Also any mass movement has easy access to explosives, exactly because of how many people are in it.

Blowing up a fossil fuel industry is hardly a crime when they already destroy our environment and our lives for the pleasure of a few.

a very powerful man takes advantage of his position against some of the most powerless individuals available? no way! Nonetheless, whenever i bring this up irl the general reaction is dismissal, which is kinda confusing.

Kuwait just tryna save the day. Meanwhile, Iraq is a lot more enthusiast (if a country can't behave decently, its ambassador might as well move out).

average health care company: proceeds to spend mammoth quantity of resources on advertising, especially for drugs

Literally all of them. The us is not required to put its nose in other countries affairs. Apparently that's their main thing

Most people just ignore it

In a way yeah sure, but the unconscius doesn't forget 24/7 ads. We can't possibly escape them since they're literally everywhere. Whatever you buy, is done under the influence of at least some kind of advertisement (buy cheap/ fancy/ green/ fuckall)

We could focus on the problems of our own country, and maybe try and solve them in some capacity. But why do that when we can look far away, at problems that don't affect us in the slightest? Usually it boils down to "I'm not doing good, but they are doing much worse". It's a soothing balm, that takes away the need to go irl and do something.

TLDR: we're lazy.

french police disagrees, before arresting you if: black, at a drive stop, and suspicious. Consider yourself lucky if not dead after the encounter. Also we got our own "problem" in the mediterranean (the politicians usually refer to migrants as kinda inferior). Sometimes it seems like the point IS cruelty

thanks for the news

The only ones who have, so far, actually used nuclear weapons were the British with the depleted uranium bullets. Although to my surprise, these are not considered nuclear weapons by the BBC, even though the Ukrainian soil will probably stay poisoned for quite some time. I hope nobody used to live in the area, because someone would probably try to get back to their old house

Or did i miss the news and the Russians used nuclear weapons?

online definetly, irl maybe theyre a bit more serious

even a slave owner had that much common sense. I mean, there are better people to quote from but i think we got the point

You scared of them getting mad? What then, will you ask pretty please to stop their violence? Or do you seriously think they would listen to any rational explanation of what is wright or wrong?

Pls do correct me, but you sound like a close relative of mine, she's really really afraid of violence. Most people don't want to lose their ordinary life, but at the same time there's not always a nice choice between the nazi and anti-nazis

oh god did u get the "actual starvation" thing from yeon mi park? Here u got different text, same energy

Again you've added a good point. Although i have empathy for op, since me too i lurk most of the time, never posted, and yet i see the thing being centered around either the us or europe.
