I sail the high seas of the Lemmyverse, posting snarky + Lefty comments
An attempted color revolution led to CIA trained militants fighting the PLA in pitched street battles.
Despite immense provocation including negotiators being burned alive by the “protesters” and a tank being stolen and fired, The PLA showed restraint unlike anything Western militaries have ever demonstrated.
Subsequently, a thinly sourced atrocity propaganda campaign was plastered across Western media.
The West is not ready for this level of posting power
By trust you of course mean decades of regime change operations, right?
😬 fact check: true
Haha I was just playing, I just think the handshakes are hilarious, especially how serious they take them
I can totally see him trying to be that type of leader but his nasaly/weasely presence would ruin the effect I think
Not a film reference! My secret weakness
By “lack of motion” do you mean that vibe they give off of waiting around for a strong man to tell them what to do? If so, I do agree. It is a fatal weakness in their line of work.
Inb4 Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton “unity ticket”
I can confirm it stares back
I think if Steven Miller or JD Vance were able to seize power, they would be much more competent fascists. Hard to game it out though, given their extreme lack of charisma
The mystery is why the more more “mainstream” news source (Fox) is banned but the fringe/conspiratorial Breitbart is not only not banned but makes up a good third of the posts that he does.
Mind you, a whole other third is from the New York Post which is also a Murdoch property?
I invite you to propose the ideological framework that explains all of that - the closest I can come up with is libertarian
When he proposed the idea, he explicitly framed it as a response to California’s high-speed rail project that is currently ongoing
Wow, I had no idea there was any presence for them on this side of the defederation wall. Thanks for sharing
EDIT: this dude’s ideology is all over the place, it’s like deciphering an alien civilization
What kind of person bans links to Fox News and then posts links to Breitbart - all while advocating empathy in the sidebar?
Which mods are those?
Let’s wait and see if the media mouthpieces and elected Democratic politicians follow this logic
Don’t forget the super secret handshakes
I’m not a mod but this seems like the sort of post that will get you dunked on, not banned. Unless there’s some dog whistles I’m not understanding it’s not really racist just…lame?
You know, you might be right about that. I always thought it would be the collapse of Tesla but something about his pet chatbot breaks his brain on a whole new level
The lesson from Hindenburg that is true to this day is that liberals and “moderates” will ALWAYS side with the fascists against any socialist movement because they serve the same master. Have you been watching capital’s media lap dogs respond to Mamdani’s candidacy? Just keep watching and observe how many “mainstream Democrats” fall in line behind human trash piles Cuomo or Adams.
Saying the good cop is “better” then the bad cop may be true in some sense but is ultimately irrelevant and distracting. Both are your enemy and if you trust either one, you’ll get fucked every time.
Sucking up to the Democratic party is like expecting that sucking up to the good cop in the interrogation room will lead to leniency in the courtroom (aka a fool’s gambit)
Different masks, different stage personas, same masters
