This is all trumps fault guys! The US was a friendly, perfectly stable nation until trump came into office! /s

I don’t get it, couldn’t he have just walked away and not come back?

Gotem there!

Is mexico not too?

Western Marxists need to understand this too, they have such an idealist perspective on everything.

And then every experience I have using someone else’s device is “how do you possibly put up with this many ads”

Why is almost every country on that list worse than they used to be?

You should stop deleting your messages, this place exists as a forum so people can come back and read messages in the past. I often go back on posts years afterwards and I find it very frustrating when there are deleted messages that are missing important context or information.

I understand the privacy issues, maybe there is a way to remove remove fingerprinting in text you type.

Oh I was just about to read that.

It’s quite easy actually. You just need to spend 90% of your day watching TikTok. /s

Seriously though what do you mean by this? Most young people ‘tech trends’ are just capitalism fucking them over, the screen time of gen z and gen A is insane. There is nothing interesting going on there, all the cool stuff is here on lemmy: Linux, open source, AI without the billionaire hype etc.

I’m a member of the younger generation myself and I don’t understand why people so many people don’t see it as a leach on their lives, maybe it’s my neurodivergence that makes me have a different perspective.

It’s just a man with long hair and wider than average hips.

Interesting, I will look into that although it does contradict my view that oil companies have control over the US government rather than the other way around.

I don’t understand the wording of that sentence.

They don’t have to extract the oil if they don’t want to, but clearly it’s profitable for them because they are extracting oil.

The coups don’t cost them any money, it’s the tax payers that pay for that.

That is indeed the Wikipedia article I included in my comment. (after editing it)

I’m pretty sure big oil wants more oil. If govenment stops letting them take the oil they will just coup them again. Why does big oil not want this?

I was surprised too. I searched it up and supposedly the US had something to do with pushing the govener general to sac the labour prime minister and replace him with the liberal opposition.

I wouldn’t take it as fact until you look into it more so I’m not really sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_CIA_involvement_in_the_Whitlam_dismissal

I might be cooked

It is scary, to capitalists.

The racism with the russian doll tops it off too.
