Reminds me of the same reaction, but inverse for the right, when Squid Game first came out. The right keeps insisting that the show is about socialism, even though the creator explicitly mentioned it’s about capitalism.

I see. You could start small and then see where it takes you from there. Hobbies does not always have to lead to full time business. If it happens, it happens. I think hobbies should always be, first and foremost, hobbies. Everything that comes out of it is secondary. I would do hobbies as enjoyment while being unemployed; to keep myself busy and sane. That’s just my two cent :)
If medical professionals are punished for refusing to treat patients because of race, then the same goes for refusing to treat someone for “having different lifestyle”.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s Stunning Response When Asked if He Has Sexual ‘Age Limit’ Resurfaces as Epstein-Mania Boils3·20 hours agoI’m not USian, but from what analysts worth their salt would say, it is combination of-- but not limited to-- intentional dumbification of Americans, the opposition not really being opposition, the US Supreme Court legalising bribery, the atomisation and polarisation of American communities, de-industrialisation, growing wealth inequality and general corruption. These contributed to the growth of frustration and populism among the voters to vote for anyone who is “not establishment”. Someone who “tells it like it is” unlike most politicians who always do politician speak. In the minds of many Americans, Trump may be a grifter and a pervert, but they see him as genuine. If the democracy is a sham after all, might as well pull down the mask and show tje country for what it truly is. That’s why people say Trump is a symptom, not the cause. The same symptom is happening across the world which is why we’re getting the same far right populism.

TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•X refuses to cooperate with French probe into algorithm bias2·21 hours agoAs for your point 4, De Gaulle was right to refuse being subordinated to the US after World War 2, and to pursue “strategic autonomy” instead.
Even before Trump 2.0, I always thought about the nature of the concept of alliance itself. Jacobin magazine made a point about not building alliance, but solidarity instead. Alliance implies impermanence and a tit for tat deal. Whereas, solidarity shows unquestionable mutual cooperation that does not look for anything in return. Jacobin wrote it in the context of social justice particularly on gender, race and lgbt; but going back to De Gaulle, he did say that there is no permanent alliance, only permanent interest. He knew that alliance with US is not everlasting and was correct to de-couple. France has its own interest for sure, but their policy is to first build cultural, political and military solidarity with Europe, which would translate to alliance.
Liberals: What are you offering?
Leftists: Wtf dude??!!
I don’t think I heard Americans pledge in the name of Huxley and Orwell.
What kind of spice has it eaten?
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•There was a literal civil war over this in Afghanistan, c'mon13·2 days agoYeah, plenty of people have misconception that it was just the Taliban who the US funded. The US funded everyone who were against USSR. The mujahideen was a catch-all term of Afghans who fought against the Soviets.

Hence, why I hate web ads. I appreciate advertisements in more public spaces like radio and posters.

You never know. Your woodworking might be a start of a new business for you! You would not have to work for someone else again!
I feel like this will happen to me when I retire (and get a car).
Yes, anyone right of you is a Nazi.
How original. Pulitzer prize winning.
1984 and Brave New World are allegories based on real life social observations and events. So, yes, they are based on history. They are famous for a reason. It is just that you find it too close to comfort.
Getting too close to comfort for you?
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.worldOPtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•From one minority to another, what the hell are you doing?3·2 days agoI don’t know, you can’t convince them all. I feel like it’s an act of desperate self-preservation, if not internalised oppression, for these simps. They’re confused and don’t know what to do. I am glad I immigrated to Ireland where the people are welcoming and the Irish themselves suffered from historical discrimination so they know what it’s like. However, the wind is slowly changing, and the formerly fringe far right is gaining some momentum here. I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. I think that’s what anyone from minority groups could do, instead of playing respectability politics, which only feeds more the monsters that the simps are trying to avoid.
Or better yet, we should organise class-conscious movements that transcends race, religion and gender. Because much of the far right populism experiencing across the world stems from decade long austerity. The “scarce” resources that people are fighting on is artificially induced by capital owners and their bought politicians. Immigrants are not making housing more expensive, politicians and corporations just don’t want to build more houses. Immigrants are not driving down wages, the elites just don’t want to raise federal wages. The government is not in debt, politicians just don’t want to raise the taxes of their rich donors.
Dabbling in stocks, I realised you need plenty of capital to have higher risk tolerance.
US trying to be 1950s Ireland on how much they can persecute unwed mothers and kill babies.
