Right? Weirded me the f out

When trump was elected and I was considering what countries to move I consulted a friends. He’s a progressive dude, I’m a socialist both white. Most of our political conversations revolve around whether the workers really need to own the means of production or if you just build enough, a safety net and welfare stayed on top of capitalism.

And shrimp was elected. I was sure he would be as worried about it as I was. He tried to calm me down by jokingly saying " I’m a straight white man. What’s the worst they’re going to do? Make me marry two wives"?

Can’t compute

I still hope this is correct and the real guy starts act 2 during Luigi’s trial. Also it’s be cool if the next three shells read “super Mario brothers” lmao

As much as i hate it trump not onky won the electoral college but the popular vote this go around.

That’s a good outlook stranger and that’s fair I didn’t give you substance. I’ll give you some now.

"*I’m saying from the perspective of American voters. And for them, yes, genocide in a faraway place is a small issue. If they’re even aware it’s happening at all.

But also, I don’t think the policy differences here are that impactful. I don’t see the US stopping the genocide without going to war, which I don’t see any appetite for from anyone."*

1. Genocide is a small issue for American voters

There are lots of polls and ways to slice this but this tracks with what I see

   [29% of voters nationally who voted for Biden in 2020 and cast a ballot for someone besides Kamala Harris in 2024 say “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the top issue affecting their vote choice, with the economy a close second at 24%.](https://www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection-polling)

Voter turn out went from 66.6% in 2020 to 63.9% in 2024. Well, this could be contributed to a lot of things. I think we’d be remiss not to consider that a large chunk of these were people who wouldn’t vote for Kamala because of the genocide in Gaza.

Or what about the shower number of protests and protesters over the country? How many of these people changed their vote or didn’t vote because the of the genocide? They obviously care? Source

As an American who voted third party instead of Kamala because of these kinds of policy’s, (I don’t mean to offend you) but I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

That’s a privileged ass take right there. You think the difference between kamala’s policy’s and universal healthcare and state paid high education are small?

Ah ok the article that OP posted is from the RFA (radio free asia)

I’m wondering why an anti communist propaganda arm of the USA is putting out anti billionaires sentiment.

Edit: Does that make more sense stranger?

Tldr: It’s a declassified CIA dock talking about funding the RFA to make anti communist propaganda in the 1950’s

While I’m not surprised zuck would do such a thing I’m weirded out that one of the CIA’s propaganda arms wants us to know it 🤔

Yeah that’s what Im saying fuck Nazis

😘 your vote was pointless too sweetie

Except those ones, hate the shit out of Nazis of course. Maga or otherwise

3rd party voter here. Let’s stop hating fellow poors and collectively hate the rich and powerful who are really responsible

I don’t get y’all’s problem with hexbear.

Now that’s a superb owl alright ♥️

I think there’s a real plot to lower these stock prices so that these Rich assholes can do more stock buybacks and consolidate control.

I don’t think these people are thinking in market terms anymore. Just pure power as they head towards techno feudalism.

They voted for trump and agree with everything he says but don’t want to own up to it

That I can get down with👈😎
