Good luck trying, the country would sink

Russia has invaded one country in the past 35 years. The USA has invaded several and is enacting genocide in Gaza. False equivalency.

I only get my information from Hexbear comrades who share links ;)

Wikipedia is wonderful… for most things.
The main demographic contributing to and editing English Wikipedia are young, highly educated white men from western countries. It will portray on average the bias that most of these people espouse. So it will have racist bias, misogynistic bias and pro-western bias.
That said, it’s still probably less misogynistic and less racist and less pro-western than your average outlet, because it filters out some of the most blatant false narratives and propaganda from conservative sources such as FOX.

That’s your definition. To me, it means essentially “Marxist-Leninist who supports actually existing socialist projects”. I still fail to see what my views on some countries have to do with adventurism.
- Comment on wisdom 3 weeks ago:
They only condone violence against capitalists if leadership ordered them to
No. We just believe that adventurism isn’t a good tactic in bourgeois dictatorship, and we distinguish it from repression of capitalists by the dictatorship of the proletariat, i.e. by the state democratically representing the workers in power.

What do Russia, China or the DPRK have to do with stochastic acts of violence against capitalists?
- Comment on wisdom 3 weeks ago:
Tankie here. Marxists-Leninist don’t condone stochastic violent acts during capitalism against Capitalists, the word we use to refer to such tactics is “adventurism”, and it’s criticized heavily.

Turns out I can’t spell lmao

Just a thought-terminating cliche, very popular. It’s one of the words used to shutdown brain function when you read something that shakes cognitive dissonance.

Hmmm, wonder why you’re getting defensive around general accusations of misogyny not particularly directed towards you

First result on “wojak” image search

The meme format of “Wokaj vs. Chad” implicitly puts the Chad over the Wojak

Lemmy: your daily dose of misogyny
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, the fact that you haven’t heard of any Aussie credit is because companies keep it private to themselves. They definitely have financial information on you and utilize it to decide the interest rate on your loans.
Much less horrible than the US dystopia for sure tho

When you can get a fucking delicious and nutritious bowl of noodles and vegetables for 5 yuan or a metro/bus ride for 3 yuan in the USA let me know.

This post is misinformation.
[Statistical Communiqué for 2024 on national economics by the National Bureau of Statistics of China] (www.stats.gov.cn/…/t20250228_1958822.html):
“In 2024, the per capita disposable income nationwide was 41,314 yuan, an increase of 5.3 percent over that of the previous year or a real increase of 5.1 percent after deducting price factors”
Tell me how growing your disposable income by 5% a year is “not being able to afford anything”

This aint the US where you don’t pay for the social safety net
Fuck that. In my European country, 25% of young people endure unemployment and nobody can fucking afford housing, where are our safety nets in Spain? Our purchase power is worse than it was 25 years ago, and keeps worsening. Wages in Spain are extremely affordable, we get paid like utter shit, minimum wage is 1300€ a month.
Go and spend 170€ in a bag 150€ of which go to the capitalist owner of the company.

Two things can be true at the same time.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 5 weeks ago:
Give me numerical data for that. I can buy fucking 10 cent microcontrollers and program them at home because 200 years of industrial development have made it that there’s so little labor involved in their production, it’s a matter of economy of scale. Manufacture loads of cheap, resistant fabrics such as viscosa, manufacture loads of cheap, long-lasting messenger bags. But no, it has to be 100 different small-production models because we need 100 different varieties of messenger bags instead of reliable, affordable, mass-produced Eco-friendly options
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 5 weeks ago:
No, no and no. Artificial tough fabrics and sewing methods are extremely affordable industrially in 2025. I will not pay 170€ for something that should cost, extremely generously, 50€.

Care to explain? I don’t understand your comment, sorry
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 5 weeks ago:
What we have is exactly capitalism. A “winner-takes-it-all” system breeds oligopoly, and oligopoly breeds corruption.
the big players pocket the regulators
That’s the entire point of capitalism, it’s how it’s always been, and it’s how it will always be. It’s class analysis: the capital owners have the media, the political power, and the repressive force of the state apparatus behind them.

Consumer action is a lie that doesn’t work. Worker action through unions is the way

Shop AliExpress if you can, avoid dropshippers and petit bourgeois
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 5 weeks ago:
without literal exploitation of everything?
Huh? Do you think workers are not exploited at physical stores? Do you think most of the stuff isn’t made identically and then rebranded differently for Amazon or for other stores?
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 5 weeks ago:
Lmfao 170€ for a bag. Are you people rich?

You Americans are experts at outsourcing any homegrown problem, aren’t you? Drug problems? Venezuela. Radical right wing in the core of the imperial west winning the elections? Russia’s fault.
Mother of God, your international propaganda apparatus is so pervasive that I needed to exchange euros to dollars the other day and I could recognize the faces of your fucking 200 year old founding fathers on the bills by name and surname, and you STILL believe that propaganda problems in the USA are due to Russia?!
