While true, how many of those workplace incidents involved someone from the executive level?
- Comment on Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay 1 week ago:
Trying to change the subject was not invented by anyone in particular, but the US likes to slap that label onto everything that directs criticism at them. For example, the US has the highest prison population per capita but will scream about enemy countries imprisoning people preemptively with countless stories in the media. Calling out the hypocrisy is countered with accusations of “whataboutism” but that’s not whataboutism, it’s simply pointing out hypocrisy since it’s the same subject.

One problem I see is that people feel like they have to work in absolutes or match their opinions 100% with everything within a group. How the grouping forms is not always clear, but apparently if one is associated with that grouping, they feel the need to defend everything in that grouping and attacking everything that isn’t.
There is some discussion to be had in the role of the US using proxies to undermine global rivals, but that does not justify Russia invading Ukraine, nothing does. Absolutely, fuck Russia.

Nice caricature, but it has nothing to do with my post. Pointing out that the US is the biggest source of imperialism doesn’t mean no one else is imperialist, but thanks for proving my point. Fuck Starbucks and Apple, by the way.

The US is the biggest source of imperialism in the world. We don’t have to always follow that up with “butwhatabout” to distract from that, which is what the US media machine does by running stories all the time to manufacture consent for its own imperialism.

2004 was also great! Too bad that’s not available for free as well.

If four years is not enough time, especially when we had years of material to work with beforehand, including two impeachments, then it was clearly never going to happen. This is the common strategy of doing things as slow as possible to show progress is being made, but it’s such small progress that it’s effectively at a standstill. It’s what democrats use to pretend they’re fighting for progress when in reality they’re just upholding the status quo until the next republican term. We’ve ping-ponged between republican and democratic party rule almost evenly, yet the country is becoming more and more fascist. There is a reason for that.
- Comment on US rep asks Valve to remove ‘Oct. 7’ game from Steam 1 week ago:
You’re making a false equivalence, but regardless, I am fine with any of that, even though I hate Nazis and the IDF, because it’s a video game. It’s virtual.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Because democrats are only interested in upholding the status quo. With the republicans only pushing the status quo to the right, you can see where this ends up.

No word on the attorney general who was hand-picked by democrats to sit with his thumbs up his ass for four years?

Shrimp is actually crustaceans, but also it’s around the bottom tier of seafood.

My problem with C++ is actually with all the stuff they keep tacking on with each new edition. It’s evolving into an even more complex monstrosity while at the same time keeping all sorts of nasty vestiges. At some point you’re better off jumping to a new language and we’re well past that point with C++. Sucks for those having to maintain legacy code.

Yeah, that’s fair.
- Comment on Absolutely nothing happened June 1989 2 months ago:
You speak of nobility and remembering the past but I’ve only seen this used as a cheap way to score political points on lemmy.world (and upvotes) for what that matters.
Someone casually browsing who doesn’t know the event would only glean that the CCP is bad, but they would have no idea what the students were even protesting about. So much for remembering the past.
As for nazis on the ballot, we have two presidential candidates and both fully support israel’s campaign of genocide and lebensraum.
- Comment on Absolutely nothing happened June 1989 2 months ago:
That just proves my point. If bringing it up didn’t matter then the CCP wouldn’t bother surpressing it.

Being able to talk about the genocide of the Palestinian people doesn’t seem to change anything. Turns out freedom of speech is happily granted when your speech is powerless.
- Comment on Absolutely nothing happened June 1989 2 months ago:
No, just wondering why the obsession with this one event. This particular event gets brought up more on lemmy.world than perhaps any other historical event. I would ask the same if people kept bringing up the great molasses flood and cracking the same old “slow as molasses” joke.
- Comment on Absolutely nothing happened June 1989 2 months ago:
I don’t know anyone who is laser focused.
Really? You haven’t seen the many posts on this one event on lemmy.world? Hell, this is the shitpost community, not even a political one.

Why are people so laser-focused on this one event that happened over three decades ago?
