I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I'm asking the people who know better than Google.

Im not surprised but its wild how you talk about some of this stuff. You talk literally like an enemy of America. If you could leave and have a decent standard of living in a different country, would you do it?

I have family here. I could absolutely have a higher standard of living if I moved to China, for example, but my family is here. I'd rather the US Empire become socialist than move myself, and more and more people agree with me.

You are on a platform made by communists, there are a bunch of us here. Mostly on instances Lemmy.world censors for you, like Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net.
