The US is the model for settler-colonialism in the modern era, itself being explicitly based on the Roman empire, with a slave-holding aristocracy holding political power, and granting free land and status to those willing to participate in its imperial project.

There have been challenges throughout US history against this rule by aristocracy, but all of them lost at various points, and are now on life support. It genocided its indigenous inhabitants and stole their land. The Civil war was a challenge between two right-wing systems: capitalism and slavery, although slavery was reinstated during the reconstruction era. Its communist-left was purged and eliminated by the 1960s, its union movement predictably died soon after in the 1970s, the anti-war left died in the 1980s.

There has never been the equivalent of a “red-scare” but for the right-wing, because the US is a right wing country and does not permit a public platform of left-wing views. Its a one-party state where both parties are “fluid”, one acting as the “foil” / controlled opposition against the one which currently reflects the more overt interests of its aristocracy.

I highly suggest reading Settlers, an Indigenous people’s history of the US, and Zak Cope - Divided world divided class, for some of the underpinnings of the US’s “master-race democracy”.

Only before you collaborate with anyone else. After that, don’t ever use rebase, or they’ll get an error, and will have to overwrite their local history with the one you’ve rewritten.

Elections in bourgeois democracy are nothing but political theatre, because ultimately capitalists stand above and control the political system to suit their interests. There is no don’t commit genocide, bomb countries, or exploit the global south option in any imperial core country, and if there is, they don’t last for long because of the hundreds of impediments to democracy (which the greeks properly saw as rule by the poor, not this sham popularity)

The ancient greeks knew this, and considered representative/election-based governments as nothing but sham popularity contests that serve the oligarchy. Aristotle even defined democracy as “rule by the poor”, and wouldn’t consider our liberal “democracies” as being democratic at all.

Communists have known this since the 1800s, but even modern liberal studies like the princeton one show, that voting has no effect on policy, and only dollar / wealthy interest groups matter.

If you try to pull someone else’s rebased / history rewritten branch, your git will tell you that it’s rejected. You can completely avoid this by merging instead of rewriting history.

You try to pull someone’s changes, but whoops, they used rebase and rewrote history! Delete the branch and start over.

Many liberal countries have these alternative voting systems, and it means nothing. Australia and Japan for example use alternate voting systems, and yet are still far-right countries who are killing indigenous movements and have extremely unpopular governments.

The root problem is that in liberal countries, capitalists stand above the political system, and control it for their own purposes. No people’s democracy can emerge from within it, regardless of any system of “checks and balances” or voting systems.

I want to get good at go so bad, but don’t know how to get started.

Every country should strive for this.

This is nonsense. Communal sharing and common property was absolutely vital for survival for most of human history.

Yours would be a minority position then. Most citizens of former eastern bloc nations want socialism back:

• 66% of Russians polled in 2015 want the USSR back. 72% of Hungarians say their country is worse off now than under communism, 57% of East Germans, 63% of Romanians, 77% of Czechs, 81% of Serbs (for Yugoslavia), 70% of Ukrainians, 60% of Bulgarians.

Unfortunately it’s only webtorrents, which pretty much no torrenter uses. The cost of hosting videos is still entirely on single servers.

You kinda have to ignore replicators for most of this to make sense. They should’ve just let replicators be either microwave ovens or 3D printers instead of being apparently able to replicate anything.

A used samsung, or Xiaomi pad. Xiaomi pad if you want battery life especially.

Your current president literally raped a woman in 1993. Her name is Tara Reade.

Also, after winning the Nobel peace prize, Obama dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.

There was an overwhelming support for the war on Iraq, especially in the media. I think only one or two US representatives voted against it, and maybe one British rep.

It’s the level of pacifism any westerner gets on as soon as the oppressed fight back. These galaxy-brained “all sides bad!” posters would rather the oppressed just follow Gandhi’s advice and do their enemies job for them.
