Is he hanging?

When USA/allies are involved, death would be merciful.

Well whatever you do, don’t dive deep into Operations Gladio and Condor.

Still, tankies are simps for authoritarians.

And what are Western socialists doing to discourage or stop this authoritarianism that works, or is that reserved for states in the global South?

Further they discourage electoralism which is a big form of organizing here in the west.

I’ve never seen that. I’ve seen it mocked and knows from forty years’ personal experience voting here in the USA, the only thing it’s done is move us further right. But sure, tankies are the problem. Btw, remind me again why Dems only sued in swing states to keep Claudia De La Cruz off the ballot?

🤣 zero (intentional) irony. Not you, you couldn’t possibly be taken by a CIA psyop!

Consider this: if that’s true, why does the West take in Nazis and brutally crush AES? Perhaps you could actually dig into what Operation Gladio and Operation Condor did.

Perhaps in light of your recent post here, https://lemmy.world/post/42467256, you may stop to reconsider your comments about tankies.

Inventing reality, even.

It costs a lot of money.

Sunday, according to Dropsite.

On X this week, Elon Musk reposted a claim that Sánchez was using the move to conduct “electoral engineering” adding: “Wow.” Sánchez reposted the SpaceX tycoon’s comment with a reply of his own: “Mars can wait. Humanity can’t.” Amid the squabbling and point-scoring, some of those who have spent years campaigning for regularisation have called for reflection about what the decree means and why it is needed. Catholic groups, including the migration department of the Spanish conference of bishops, see the measure as “an act of social justice and recognition of so many migrants who, through their work, have long contributed to the development of our country, even at the cost of keeping them in an irregular situation”.

I’m trying to maintain optimism that this current extreme escalation is the flailing death throes of a generation raised into bigotry and self-aggrandization, and that we’ll come out the other side of this being a better society (the younger generations today are so much more openly altruistic and progressive on the whole).

Well, I don’t fault you for any of it. This part will require vigorously investigating, rooting out our liberal narrative, and reeducating ourselves.

All I see here is a temper tantrum

So to answer your question: no, it’s not worse. It’s a desperate attempt to make something start tipping the scale back toward liberty and peace.

I doubt that means much to people out of eyesight and earshot to whom we’ve never allowed to have the same liberty and peace.

I engage regularly there in precisely those discussions.

All I see here is hurt feelings for rules enforcement

Thanks! 🫡

It’s all they have because they lose in argument.

Tangentially, wrt reading the articles wrt Korean voting, do you know if Hussein’s Ba’athist party was still socialist, in name and practice?

All the more reason to outlaw and ruthlessly discourage any attempts to do it again, regardless of how innocuous an actor tries to sell it. The billionaires didn’t implement their policies in one fell blow, they are centuries patient and cunning. Like the serpent didn’t actually lie, it just failed to tell the entire truth, and/or didn’t grasp all the unforseen (latent) possibilities and their implications, leading the first self-aware astray. That’s not entirely bad, a long, winding path of learning painfully can yield invaluable lessons, the “badness” is in allowing whitewashing and revisionist history, which should have the head crushed under the heel, figuratively speaking.

If we in the West ever manage to extricate ourselves from intentionally convoluted laws that allowed these entities to come into being, I hope businesses with any vague hint of appearance resembling these perfidious demons from the ninth circle of hell are bound like wicked watchers and cast into crevices under rocks above lava.
