“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon”

2·1 year agoThe government doesn’t support it but some left-wing parties do, some MPs are on the flottilla.
And BBC is a british state controlled source. state-owned ≠ untrustworthy, at least not more untrustworthy than private media.

23·1 year agoEven if China was imperialist, their imperialism builds schools and hospitals. US imperialism razes them to the ground.
Dictatorship by a wide margin. Why should the parliament squabble over a law for months, possibly years, when under a dictatorship said law could be enacted instantly? Also with democracy every politician just thinks about getting elected, not the actual long-term needs of the country.
When you have to resort to attack your opponent by using their post history you know that either you lost or you dont have any real argument.

8·1 year agoWhat’s the deal with India’s support for Israel? I’m pretty sure Zionists see Indians as inferior humans.
Is it due to both countries having Muslim enemies? (Palestine/Pakistan)
Bit of an off topic question but I had this question for some time now.

Started high school right when Russia was collapsing
Now I’m in uni, knowing Russia is on the verge of collapse
What are you going to do about it? Complain more on the same internet invented mostly by the country you hate?
You don’t like slavery, yet you’re using Latin characters, who were invented by the Romans? Checkmate!

World News@lemmy.ml•Analysis: China’s clean energy pushes coal to record-low 53% share of power in May 2024
8·2 years agoYea, wish we had a green race just like we had a space race during the 1st cold war, at leadt something useful would come out of it.
The liberal veneer of civility goes away in the moment you criticize their idols.they cant fathom somebody that doesn’t like mr joe “saviour of the world” biden or mrs kamala “sent here by god himself” harris since they live in political ecochambers, so the only possibile explanation is that Russia pays a bunch of people to post normal people’s opinions online (most people are not hardliner diehard democrats)

5·2 years agoI think we need more govt subsidies to green tech and less subsidies to the fossil industry, i don’t care if it’s all a big 8d chess move to make us all speak Mandarin Chinese, the important bit is not dying rn.

World News@lemmy.ml•The international diplomatic war over Taiwan’s status just escalated sharply
131·2 years agoThe United states used military power to defeat the slavers in the south(and to get their independence in the first place), and the allies used military power to crush nazi Germany and their fascist allies. Not every use of military force is unwarranted or “immoral”
And they sometimes get called “tankies” too by people to the right of them. That’s why I both think it’s a useless term (if everybody is a tankie, then nobody is) and why I think I fall in the definition (as most leftists do, I’ve seen pretty mild social democrats being called “tankies” by liberals)
Plus ultimately these blanket descriptions are pretty useless IMO, you’ll find extremely heated debates between “tankies” themselves on many topics, there’s no consensus, and there are many different ideologies “tankies” subscribe to. It would be like saying that Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Greens are all the same thing. We could call them “dronies” maybe.
YES
Everybody to the left of biden is considered a tankie nowdays, and I’m proud of being to the left of (and opposed to) genocide enablers.
