If you abstain from voting then you’re basically lumping yourself in with people who don’t care or actually are fine with the status quo. If you cast a blank vote then you’re expressing your disapproval of all the candidates. Essentially saying “I’m willing to vote, but it won’t be for any of you guys”. This would make sense if the system worked but it doesn’t.

Why is there a lemmy.ml and a lemmygrad.ml?

So I need a lemmy.ml account if I want to comment on most things?

Cestodes

Why do they have buttholes at the front of them?

Yeah and he forgot m8 😔

Google “big crunch hypothesis”

Genuine question but if Mao was okay with state capitalism then why did Deng stir up so much controversy? I thought the whole reason people didn’t like Deng was because of him bringing about state capitalism.

I think there are two separate youtube videos looking into the death toll of capitalism using the same methods the black book used and both were something like 1 billion deaths.

The death toll from communism comes from the black book of communism which was written by a staunch anti-communist who seeked out to prove communism killed 100 million people which is why it includes nazi deaths and people who weren’t even born as victims of communism.

He wants to be the horse.

Break the house price into weekly deposits so that after 20 years you then own the house.

Basically renting should give you a percentage of ownership instead of just going to the landlord.

Liberals only care about aesthetics. That’s why they make such a fuss about Trump. Biden helped turn Gaza into rubble but he kept smiling and lying about working towards a ceasefire and that’s what’s important to them. Trump on the other hand is honest about what he’s doing and that’s the problem.

People should vote to gauge strength, show solidarity with their movement and demonstrate how to those unaware that the system isn’t working and therefore requires replacing it with one that will.

It’s a fun tid bit to say that purple was a rare dye so it got used by and associated with royalty. Because it was rare it’s also the least common colour on flags.

I don’t think people associate it with royalty anymore now that we can mass produce all kinds of colours though.

“Tankies” don’t exist.

People who unironically use the word “tankie” would say it’s someone who uncritically supports communist governments, but if you ever look at someone using it, it’s always because they are uncritically against all communist governments and so they interpret nuance or historical understanding as blind loyalty to communism.

There are animal welfare groups. Some even break into factory farms to expose how unethical they are. Countries even put up laws from filming in slaughter houses because they know how shit they are.

Also I already said that without an organised boycotting effort no change can be done.

Yeah the fact that its a boycot is the problem. Its liberal individualist thinking.

No lol
