If he says anything even slightly negative about NYC’s police force, I could see him getting Huey Long’d pretty quickly.

I’m betting on absolutely nothing happening to the NYC prison camp complex, especially rikers island.

You’ll need to be involved in development if you want to contribute that setting.

Every other lemmy app I can find right aligns action dropdowns and thumbnails, we were the outlier. Pics of all those other apps were linked in my PR.

I’m making lemmy-ui match jerboa more closely from now on, so that we can have a uniform UI standard that works better on mobile.

These guys have the nuke codes.

The “progressive wing” of the controlled opposition branch of the single-party US state, trying to push a literal former abu ghraib (the US torture camp in Iraq) prison guard as a candidate.

All these muslim-murderers should be in prison for their crimes.

At least in western cinema, only sci-fi can get away with anti-imperialism. Star wars (the rebellion = vietnamese communists), lots of Star trek episodes especially in DS9, Dune (the book first, then the film), and pry a lot more I can’t think of right now.

Seems the most likely explanation. They fucked around and found out, and this gives them a way to save face.

The KHIVE is here to correct the record on her prison slave labor scandals, defense of white supremacist cops, disproportionate jailing of black people, and staunch support for Israel.

Kinda crazy how democrats now are just like: “Yeah, I eat a plate of shit. I don’t like it, but they told me that was the only option. So I did it, I’m proud of it, and anyone else should be ashamed to not be eating shit like me.”

Obligatory US troop copypasta

You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.

Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.

Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

The PRC commands the heights of the economy. The most important point, is that capital is deliberately permitted and restricted, only allowed in some sectors, and not allowed to rise above the state or organize as a class, as in capitalist states:

• The backbone of the economy is state ownership and socialist planning. 24 / 25 of the top revenue companies are state-owned and planned. 70% of the top 500 companies are State-owned. 1, 2 The largest bank, construction, electricity, and energy companies in the world, are CPC controlled entities, subject to the 5 year plans laid out by the central committee.
• Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
• Is modern day china communist? Is it staying true to communist values?
• Didn’t China go Capitalist with Deng Xiaoping? Didn’t it liberalize its economy? Is China’s drastic decrease in poverty a result of the increase in free market capitalist policies?
• Is the CPC committed to communism?
• The Long Game and Its Contradictions. Audiobook
• The myth of Chinese state capitalism. Did Deng really betray Chinese socialism?

It works for the people, whereas capitalism only works for capitalists.

Just as a recent success story: the PRC has lifted more people out of poverty in the last 30 years, than any country in human history. Here’s a documentary on it if anyone’s interested.

This thread is being targeted by a lot of no-content “correct the record” fediverse accounts, upvoting pro-genocide US democratic party and Israeli talking points. Please report them so we can ban them ASAP.

Thank you to all the posters below doing great work debunking them.

If Harris had won the 2024 election, do you honestly think she would be mass deporting immigrants without a trial, starting a trade war with China, attempt to cut funding for FEMA, etc?

Of course, look at her predecessor. Obama massively increased ICE, deportations, and did a pivot to asia.

She has her own list of atrocities to account for, but most importantly, she’s pro-israel, and pro-genocide.

Yeah democrats really care about the poor.

And they totally wouldn’t increase the ICE budget, and deportations.

edit: By the way, you might want want to be a little less transparent with vote manipulation. I just banned 3 of your no-content alts.

Now go do your fucking job developing the Lemmy software, because this software is full of issues and the grownups are talking about important issues that actually have a point.

Leaving this comment up to show the titanic levels of entitlement and arrogance from the anti-communist crowd.

Even open source devs only exist to do free labor for them, we’re not people to them.

I’m actually very sympathetic to this. What the US did, and continues to do, is far worse than what the fascists of the 1920s-40s attempted.

The Nazis and Japanese fascists tried (and failed) to acheive what the US sucessfully did: the colonization and eviction of hundreds of native peoples, and clearing of an entire region for the “master race”. All under a far more stable form of government for colonialism : bourgeois democracy.

Lebensraum failed, but manifest destiny succeeded.

Not only that, but committed countless other atrocities, unparalleled in history.
