… I’m pretty sure both Democrats and Republicans are fascists.

two sides of the same coin.

No. Very much no.

But first of all, where you are right is that the oligarchs are the true root of the problem in the US; or at least, the worst problem we have. And they do corrupt the entire system, yes.

However, the bits I’ve quoted above are very much not the case. I won’t do it here, but I have many many times pulled up voting records for what each side has actually voted for.

I can’t say there’s not times when they coordinate to make something almost pass, but I definitely can say that there are very VERY clear differences.

For one recent example close to my home here in Virginia: republicans have abused gerrymandering far longer and far worse than Democrats. Dems have tried to pass legislation to stop it. Btu recently states like Texas gerrymandered in an attempt to help Republicans gain more seats.

So in reply, Virginia did the same. MUH BOTH SIDES!!! But… one critical difference. In Virginia, we VOTED. And it nearly failed. So even when the Dems are fighting back in an attempt to force Republicans to eventually support an end to gerrymandering by gerrymandering themselves, they still put it up to a vote.

The two parties are not the same.

Alas, the Dems are, as a whole, pretty centre-right, but the Republicans are extreme right fascists.

So if you’re any sort of progressive, people like AOC and Bernie are rare lights in a very very dark place. But while there are shadows in the Democrat party, the Republicans are down the street, around the corner, at the back of a very very deep cave.

All that said, think what you wish to think. But really, they are not the same. But we do have very very very deep problems that do affect both parties. Just not equally.

You’re replying out of the scope of my quote and reply. Which is your right, but means I have no further reply at this time.

That is why we must conduct ourselves with the appropriate restraint to beat these allegations.

On this point and this point alone I reply: No. Do not let the enemy define the terms of the battle. In the US, the Democrats need to not placate the fascists. Again, I am solely discussing the words I quoted, not the larger topic of zionists or the lemmy thing.

Trump: Israel didn’t talk me into it!

…soooooo Israel talked him into it.

You make a good point, however a counterpoint: Instance information is not hidden. It would be relatively trivial for a bad actor with resources to DDOS one instance to add other instances.

Woever made this image should learn the difference between line spacing and paragraph spacing…

This is an example
of line spacing which
clearly shows it’s together

And now this is a new
bit that is separate from
the above bit

Readability is important.

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t exit vim.

I bet this comment actually pissed off some people. Lol

Failures are making occasional news, but bots are getting better at walking. Doing useful tasks will be a few more years, but I think it’s coming.

You don’t have to listen to them, just like you don’t have to be a prick about it.

And knots per hour per hour would be a measure of ever-increasing acceleration, so this is getting out of hand quickly now :)

Being a prick is not a reason to be proud.

Alas, Iran treats their citizens like shit, so about the same give or take on some fronts. heh

Someone earlier said there are no winners in this war, and I’m really inclined to agree.

fact that people have been using that

The way language works is that people use things and they become correct.

There’s things I hate, too, like “yea” now being a spelling for “yeah”. But it’s useless to fight it.

All you’re doing is being a grammar nazi to someone who at most said the equivalent of “$30 million dollars”, which is technically, thanks to the dollar sign, “thirty million dollars dollars”.

You knew what they meant. I knew what they meant. Everyone knew what they meant. There was absolutely zero ambiguity, so you just come off looking like a prick.

That works for expensive drones, but not so much for the tiny ones that are ubiquitous on front lines.

The more remote the comms, the higher the ability to interfere. And someone will always have to be close to launch drones with limited range.

Aye, sure, but I can also face it now, too. Like I used to face existential dread. I still do,but I used to, too. :D

Maybe the existential dread killed me early… :)

AHHH THE WORLD IS ENDINGGGGGGGGGGG
