Wikipedia deserves to be represented in that meme.

One difference for me this time around is that I don’t put much stock in liberal-led protests anymore. The Pussyhats didn’t protect our abortion rights, and the co-opted BLM movement didn’t defund the police.

Thank you. Your hypothetical question has been a nagging, unresolved background radiation in my mind for decades, but I’d never gotten around to investigating.

OP basically did ask “why do people in Nordic countries care more what happens to their citizens?”

No they didn’t. You read way to much into what was actually asked.

Sure, but that was in the Good Place, where the local government was simply empowering the will of the people, which is completely different from what happened in Bad Place, where the central authoritarian regime imposed its will on the people. So there’s really no comparison.

If only

• Gabriel Rockhill, 2020: The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It
• The Intercept, 2021: Meet NATO, the Dangerous “Defensive” Alliance Trying to Run the World
• CounterPunch, 2022: NATO is Not a Defensive Alliance
• Noam Chomsky, 2023: NATO “most violent, aggressive alliance in the world”
• Thomas Fazi, 2024: NATO: 75 years of war, unprovoked aggressions and state-sponsored terrorism

This is an eminently believable fact.

And what’s to stop Trump from re-re-designating Cuba tomorrow? Nothing. Such wankery.

Due to its high latitude and being in the middle of a continent, it is a contender for the most extreme winters in the contiguous United States.

Two square miles & 54 residents in North Bumblefuck, separated from the rest of the US by 60 miles. It’s an affront to reason.

Only the most terminally unserious, most Morning Joe-pilled liberals believe—or claim to believe—that Biden couldn’t have ended the genocide at any time over those 15 months.

There’s no need to hypothesize when we’ve seen a president stop Israeli aggression with a phone call before.

omg la is east of reno what is happening rn

Sleepy Genocide Joe Biden. Sad!

Even before Trump’s post, Musk—who is expected to co-lead a presidential advisory commission— said on X that “I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech. That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but X is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change.”

Yeahno. None of these oligarchs or politicians actually give a rat’s ass about frozen peaches.

I agree that’s it’s liberal cope, but I wouldn’t go so far as to assume that Trump will turn out to have been the less evil option. We were not given practicable non-evil option. Of course we weren’t.

To paraphrase an aphorism, create the communities you wish to see in the fediverse.

ah christ its fuckin davos tiem again. Unlimited Luigis on the World Economic Forum.

I don’t know why this distinction without a difference is a hill you want to die on. In terms of fighting fascists—which is all that matters—there’s nothing to be gained by distinguishing between Nazism and sparkling fascism. People who subscribe to Nazi exceptionalism don’t understand what fascism is, what its function is and for whom it functions (hint: it functions for the capitalist class, as a false revolution).
