False. Provide evidence before you make such a claim. This is a lie used to silence progressives, leftists, and post-leftists, because what we say makes you uncomfortable.
But it's not the only alternative to authoritarianism
Tell that to the people this post is about. Also, as you have mentioned, the current system allows this. The majority of people could support ICE, and it would still be inequitable and oppressive. The majority may oppose returning land to tribal control, but it is still colonization and genocide.
Only ideologies like Anarchism preclude this, since they by definition oppose such hierarchies and don't rely on a glacially slow system that winks while people suffer.
It doesn't matter what the majority want. Often, the majority want to harm other people. If you don't believe me, then you haven't heard from enough American liberals who will make batshit claims such as this being the best system in the world or that they "have no other choice" but to force oppression and genocide as long as it's sanctioned by the law.
Clearly, this is not a good system. Never has been.
Is there a way that someone can test for this at home? It seems troubling that children had to be poisoned before any action was taken.
I left beehaw because I was being targeted by a user using gaslighting and lies.
When I responded to this user (I will admit, too strongly), the mods removed my comments, but left his initial lies and gaslighting up, even though I had reported them (and even messaged one of the admins directly -- it was actually a beehaw admin's actions against my comments.) To be clear, I understood the removal of my comments, but I did not understand why the user's lies and rudeness against me still remained.
I mentioned tumblr because it was where the information I was sharing had initiated, and I encouraged people to take the discussion there, since a productive discussion was no longer possible here. I never said I was moving there myself.
I then removed the rest of my comments and posts on beehaw.
I was already on tumblr, so I didn't "move from" Beehaw to there. I was also already on this account, so nor did I move here -- I was already here all along, where I've had no similar problems.
Thank you! I've been rapidly losing faith in people lately. My dad taught social studies, and this is exactly the same things he would say. Seems we've lost sight of this somewhere along the way.
Might I add that it is so important that we not treat any person, including the president, as if they are beyond reproach. I find this trend of deflecting any criticism of one president with wild unfounded accusations of supporting an even worse candidate to be extremely troubling and, quite frankly, anti-democratic. I wish I could persuade more people to support equity and oppose systemic oppression, but it's frustrating when the very people who proclaim to care refuse to engage in good faith.
I saw a BBC documentary about a similar situation. People are being exploited on both sides of the phone line.
Oh, please. One of the first things Biden did was open more concentration camps. He's continued Trump's wall (guess it's Biden's wall now). Millions of people die due to lack of healthcare access, and all liberals have is Obamacare 2.0, a slap in the face.
Sure, they're not as bad as Republicans, but that's a dismally low bar. They're still complicit in fascism and genocide. They're still defending capitalism.
Want to talk about strawman? Let's talk about how every time someone mentions these things, Libs deflect with wild unfounded accusations of supporting Trump.
American liberals are only marginally better than Republicans. And if you're in one of those camps, they're no better at all.
Edit: I actually thought this was a different thread. I'll still leave it though because it's all accurate.
This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. By this logic, the anti-trans anti-POC laws in my state are alright, according to liberals. I've heard the same thing from them about the border camps and wall - "Biden has no choice!" Bullshit.
People who tell me the anti-trans anti-POC laws in my state are good actually because the majority support them. People who treat people as pawns in an electoral campaign.
So tired of people like that.
Update: Examples found within the thread! I don't even need to link to examples of this happening. They're right here!
I have no doubt there are official confessions obtained via coercion including threats and possible torture.
This is also true. Any way you cut it, the IDF are the villains in this story.
They can also force confessions of terrorism! Pretty bold headline that's parroting IDF propaganda, if you ask me. Wouldn't say this article belongs in a news community.
it "[fell] far short of the greatness" of Fallout 4 and Skyrim
Hilarious to read this, considering how much trash talk I heard about FO4 soon after its release.
People also spent years talking about how bad ESO is, and when I finally played it ... it's great, just like FO4.
I'll be interested to see how/if opinions change about Starfield over time. I'll still wait to play it because I'm a patient gamer, but I've come to distrust anyone's takes about Bethesda games.
Capitalism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human anus
This is the first time I recall that I've ever had this happen, but Firefox is not asking me where to save files, even though I have "Always ask you where to save files" selected.
I just generated a new password recovery key for my skiff email address, and it instantly downloaded it to my "Save files to" location instead of prompting me.
I'm on 115.0.2 64-bit on Windows 10
Could this be just a bug with the latest update? Is it something I should submit to bugzilla?
You are literally the person this post is about.
