Edit: like, you could put the actual campaign goals and summarized impacts and then it would be a real infographic.

The point of a meme is to be short and punchy, not academic.

I mean, celebrate the revenge, for sure. Just don't mistake it for decency. Vietnam is about as corrupt as India.

While celebrating a billionaire getting their just desserts is always fun, not really sure that this is a reflection of the decency of the Vietnamese government.

Fuck.

So... as soon as the society based on mutual aid starts?

Speaking entirely seriously, the reduction of societal relations in a capitalist economy to purely or even primarily material concerns conceals and denies the very real and very prominent place personal and cultural biases have. Oftentimes materially damaging movements are ignored until they begin to threaten cultural norms.

PugJesus , 2 months ago to News in US is reimposing oil sanctions on Venezuela, officials say

Jesus Christ. Please look into the timeline of US sanctions on Venezuela in comparison to the timeline of nationalization of Venezuelan oil and international support for pressure on the current regime.

As it turns out, when you pinky-promise to have free elections in exchange for lifting sanctions, and then walk that back the moment it looks politically inconvenient, the sanctions come back down. What a shocker!

PugJesus , 2 months ago to politics in Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump

The US government will do literally anything, including funding universal healthcare for other countries, to avoid funding universal healthcare at home.

There's a sick irony to it I've learned to enjoy, because the alternative is checking my medical bills.

PugJesus , 2 months ago to politics in Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump

I mean, I agree entirely, but "It would be both good policy and moral" is different from "This will definitely increase the support of the electorate towards the candidate, and overwhelmingly so at that!"

How is it a dodge to point out that large protests do not necessarily signal majority support? Sorry that elementary-school level differentiation between "Looks bigger" and "Is bigger" is lost on you.

I'm an American and I follow politics very closely.

Same energy as "Look how big Trump's rallies are! There's no way he could lose!"

PugJesus , 2 months ago to World News in Netanyahu aims to trap west into war across Middle East, warns Iranian diplomat

Normally, I'm the first to call out Iran on bullshit, but, uh, they ain't wrong here.

If he would stop sending arms today, he would win in a landslide.

... this the same American electorate in which under half of the Democratic Party is in favor of reducing aid to Israel?

It's fucking insane how some people pretend that the US electorate agrees with all of their opinions, very conveniently.

PugJesus , 2 months ago to politics in Democrats need to pull themselves together and remember: Biden is still better than Trump

Don't worry - the same people who say "BOTH SIDES! I WON'T SUPPORT BIDEN OR TRUMP!" are very often in favor of Ukrainian genocide, because of Russia's "Security Interests(tm)".

Curious, that.

A large number of these people would abstain, and then unironically complain about being boiled alive.
