Goons. Stasi. Whatever.

The USSR had lifetime factory jobs, too.

Send the ships, quick. Don’t want to have to put up with people hoarding supplies or toilet paper again.

Yeah. He was clapping back at trump and the republicans a lot which helped boost him to run. Pretty popular. Then he got elected and suddenly started aligning with the republicans on some issues. The consensus since then (at least on Lemmy) is that brain damage causes conservatism.

Wooden is a good way to describe her.

The old people liked the predictability of the system, the comfort in the known. Even if it sucked, and the version they have in their heads doesn’t really remember the hardships. That’s true today for a lot of the people that miss the “good old days”; they forget everyone that died of polio, the institutionalization or beating of non-normative people with autism or adhd, the racism, homophobia, all the people that never came home from wars or did so broken…

Yeah. People are really strange like that.

communist authoritarian dictatorships

Nobody has done real communism on a national scale. One of the damndest things done by the cold war was allowing the US to convince anyone who would listen that the USSR was actually communism and socialism. It was authoritarian, kleptocratic, tyrannical, dictatorial…anything but actually letting the people have actual control and benefits from their labor in any form other than on paper. I’m not arguing for communism in any way, nor do I want to split hairs over differing methods of applying communism, but to call any version of countries claiming to be communist as actually communist is crazy. They’re all authoritarian dictatorships.

There’s renovation in keeping with the intent and history of the building, and then there’s trump’s ostentatious and tacky design preferences.

60 Minutes finally found their spine? They’ve been barely tolerable for a while now with poor reporting. Looks like getting attacked personally was what it took to hit back with actual accuracy.

Funny that they equate “businessman” to “liar, cheat, thief”, yet continue to idolize businessmen like Musk.

They do.

However the flyovers and other military displays during sporting events were originally done as a recruitment tool.

An advertisement for the military.

It has nothing to do with deliberately planning flight hours for pilots, the hours are a secondary benefit.

Some garish, tasteless, gold shit everywhere.

I post this to mock the premise of the whole thing, especially the part where he’ll “pay for it himself.” The only thing he pays for is sex, lawyers, and bribes.

Hitler did the same shit. He went after the communists. Know what the communists were agitating for? Worker’s rights.

So release the messages. Not that it matters what they said, absolutely nothing will happen except clicks for whoever reports on it.

“Tyranny in disguise”

More projection by the Talibangelicals. Except their disguise sucks.

Even with AI being wrong 60% of the time it’s still too accurate for Republicans?

I’m waiting until some DOGE or other trump goon just literally destroys the Constitution papers, or at least attempts to.

Ooops, we were installing a trump shrine and moving some old documents we didn’t need people to see anymore and it just kinda fell apart.

Just not education that talks back.

Dictators gonna purge.
