A better world is possible for us all. Let’s build it together.


Why?


First why?
Second why are you equivocating these two figures?


Zohran is a member of the reformist Groundwork faction within DSA he has not interest in revolutionary politics. Reforms along the way to revolution is good because it enables more people to materially engage but it cannot be the endgoal otherwise you are just subservient to capital.
Will Zohran do good stuff for people? Yeah. Is that all we should be happy with? Fuck no.


Hey man I’m not reading all that but thanks for playing


Hey little man I don’t know if you’re aware but the attitudes that I am yelling about that have led to the crumbling of the United States over the past several decades is literally happening in your backyard right now.
Y’all liberals will come around to how wrong just ignoring things is as a strategy to improve your life in a few years once all those social programs you have left are stripped away just like us.


“I’ve disengaged with the world around me and justified doing nothing to help make it better”.
What a strange first example where ostensibly you are expressing support for the pro slavery dude who did the beating with the cane.


IMO the question is more around when it starts having demonstrable negative effects on your life. Missing obligations to family and friends. Work getting done poorly. Not taking care of your own health. Stuff like that.
100% keep it up comrade. If you hadn’t wrote something I probably would have for the same reason lol
God bless you taking the time to entertain the incoherence of this comment. I fear it is fruitless here but I commend the effort.


Who is looking for an argument? You asked for an explanation?


Liberals love to call people calmly explaining things with impassioned language as “being fired up” as if caring about things or speaking on them with a modicum of authority is bad.
Thanks for your meaningful contribution to this conversation lol


“Every government is just pulling on different levers and creating different flavors of the same problems”
This statement is so braindead because it ignores the INTENT behind why governments do things. It just boils all of them down to just being the same thing where all governments are trying to do the same things (which from the rest of your message must be conquest and domination if you think most countries would trade places with the US - I have to believe you are implying all the things that come along with “being America”) which is patently not true. Comparing the two largest super powers in the world right now demonstrates this clearly - the US and China have two wildly different governmental structures that are acting with wildly different intent both domestically and internationally. What are their goals? Why do they act the way they do? Why do they interact with other countries the way they do? Why do they have the problems they do? How do the policies exacerbate or relieve those issues?
Like do you think places with a lower standard of living just are like that because the people running the government just don’t give a shit for some reason? How do you think you have places where income is low but everything is affordable? Just dumb luck while governments be doing government things?
There are some constants in our world on the boundaries of class, but even then those do not manifest the same everywhere in the world because not every government treats the issue the same.
“Then you got all varieties of societal stuff” oh brother
Like I get it you didn’t drop your whole ideological world view in some Lemmy post you made taking a shit at work, but I just couldn’t help but eye roll so hard you resisted taking any kind of stance on anything. Shit just happens with no real rhyme or reason.


Ah the enlightened centrist take that succinctly avoids any kind of analysis of WHY things are the way they are. Things just are the way they are and that’s that I guess.
pushing internet lies as drama is funny or something I guess
Without much evidence? There is NO evidence.
I can only imagine downvoters are Europeans or liberals (or both) who like to imagine the world is a bunch of soverign nations working in tandem rather than the US playing with a bunch of finger puppets to push its violent agenda.
Liberals will call you sexist for not liking their politics


The UK fascists gotta get their licks in too it seems. After all they probably think she’s a terrorist or something for daring to have the courage to speak out.
Calling out stupid liberal takes is political extremism sure. I don’t see a lot of extremists on lemmy.ml just a lot of salient takes that liberals don’t like to have to reckon with.
