Your comment reads as if Israel continuing to starve Palestinians was absolutely unavoidable since 1947.

idk if i’m missing something but i use connect and this is what it does on the “communities” tab

Nothing matters 😔

Gets easier after day 7 trust me

This comment is ironic because most of the time that music isn’t even written for you.

Nice tap dancing.

Liberals and leftists exist elsewhere outside America. There is nothing about the original post that yells exclusivity to America.

Everything has something to do with politics. People saying “stop shoving politics into everything” just don’t like to he confronted with that fact, when some people are forced to confront that fact outside of political discourse every day. There are literally billions of people in poverty around the world due to the direct actions of some of the most powerful governments the world has ever seen. But you and a few people could not possibly even bear seeing a meme talking about Leftists and Liberals because that’s too political hahaha what the fuck.

I find posts like this so confusing. Does politics, i.e.the policies organisations across the world implement to actively change the way the masses live not directly or indirectly affect your life? Whenever someone says something like this I just assume you’re not within a marginalised group because there’s no way you’d make an enlightened centrist post like this otherwise.

I absolutely don’t doubt that individual accounts will have useful lessons to learn. But personal experience will always have personal biases. People will literally change the way they experience reality to facillitate their world view, which is why the sentiment of this post is stupid af. Just because “you were there” doesn’t make you any more of an arbiter of truth than someone who wasn’t. At most it provides you with the advantage of a perspective more directly affected by said events.

It’s honestly the equivalent of saying that because you lived in a country you know more about the sociopolitical status of it and why it got there thab someone who doesn’t. Like when people say “you never lived in X type of country, so you have no idea why it was so bad.”

I’d trust a sociology professor from the UK about why living conditions in America are so bad for the average working class person much more than a MAGA conservative nutjob who believes in the deep state trying to replace white people. Just like how this post doesn’t really prove that just because you were there means you’re an expert in that event or why and how it happened.

Because it pushes surface level feminism

Me when I purposely try to ignore global power structures put into place by numerous historical events.

indubitably based.

I’m gonna guess Alex

I believe the post is referring to those who are both economically and socially liberal. The rainbow capitalists. They believe in equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community, black and brown people etc. but refuse to acknowledge, learn or put the work into how a system like neoliberal capitalism results in these groups being oppressed in the first place.

In order for equality to be achieved the system has to radically change. A lot of liberals don’t want this because it makes them feel uncomfortable (and a lot of the time this conflicts with a system they benefit from).

UFOs are just Unidentified Flying Objects. This can be anything fron weird weather patterns that manifest weirdly on camera to birds (as you mentioned) that the Air Force/ govt mistook for being potentially something else. Just because a flying object is unidentified doesnt mean it’s an “alien” or anything more nefarious that anyone else may suggest.

This video did a good job at explaining why the US government has historically hidden “evidence” of “UFOs,” (at least for me anyway). A major reason being to prevent public panic at the height of Cold War tensions.

Bipolar?

Literally. When the capitalist class are the ones funding the majority if political parties in your country, you are left with either voting for a really right wing candidate or a slightly less right wing candidate.

Look, I’m just as communist as the next guy on Lemmy but I don’t get how this is funny or an imitable element of culture. This is literally just your opinion.

How is this a meme?
