i brought up ukraine because all the active genocides, the ones in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, the Congo, and the Gobi desert are interconnected. our world’s billionaires want us to blame minorities for our problems instead of them. i want to make it abundantly clear i think harris and biden suck, but it’s definitively not the same things under trump. the top ten billionaires are all already richer and our new regime will do nothing to hear us and slow these genocides. they will accelerate genocide and reduce our ability to find truth by inundating us with bullshit narratives about how it’s the left (the actual left, people like me) who are bad, actually.

this is definitively a worsening, and acting like it’s not means you’re more likely to get caught standing still when you need to be resisting. i am under the impression you think you’re helping, which is a good start, but you need to start looking at the bigger picture. get on board with that the modern world is fully interconnected, and that everything is about to get way more authoritarian than you’ve grown accustomed to, when it was already very authoritarian

he’s emboldening world leaders enacting genocide. netenyahu has already expressed plans to accelerate the genocides he’s enacting. zelenskyy, long a leader saying Ukraine would never give up any territory is planning to enter diplomatic peace talks and loss of territory will almost certainly be part of that.

your ignorance is embarrassing to observe. literally every cabinet pick so far has been a hardcore pro-israel or pro-russia pick.

i still can’t believe that lie worked on people…

no one hates immigrants more than an immigrant who made it

i’ve heard that quote a few times. but i think it’s on the whole sadder:

no one hates the poor more than a poor person who thinks they made it

i think there’s so much discourse about this since Latin men voted, on the whole, for trump. there is a non zero number of people who, if trump implements his border control plan, voted for their own deportation

people with accents, too. doesn’t matter if you’ve been here for ten years: if you sound different, someone will report you to ICE

and russia’s system of torture is currently going global…

the electoral college values different things than the will of the populace

and we’ve been trying for decades to reform our system for a better voting system. first past the post elections force strategic voting. that’s the kind of elections we get. the only place where vote shares matter is for distributing public campaign finance funds.

thanks for the help haha. i thought it was pretty clear i meant if russia was going to force doctors without borders into having some borders we could think of them as being the thing i said. i’m still taking that hiatus thuough. i hated this lol

lmao what? no i definitely am not trying to upset folks. i don’t even actually know how “doctors without borders have an incredibly important mission to humanity, and a shared goal of reducing suffering” is upsetting. in fact, despite the fact that i should know better, this thread has gotten me really upset because resisting collonialism is so important and what doctors without borders is so important, and now i’m finding out that the perception is that i just want to upset people?

i really mean this: i feel really disoriented, misunderstood, and hurt. i think i’m gonna go on a hiatus for a while because if this is what lemmy is gonna do to my mental space i don’t want it in my life

Shocking! Most predictable event comes to pass

I got 4 upvotes and 23 downvotes. I’m pretty sure it’s pretty clear y’all have the prevailing worldview. Furthermore, I just… Don’t know what it is? I just know you think I’m vapid, and I don’t really know where I’m supposed to start digging into making myself better because I’ve received literally zero constructive feedback. Just a bunch of “Look at what a vapid idiot! Haha!”

how is providing medical aid to people being tortured in our global system of suffering not

1. anti-colonial
2. the very most important thing anyone could be doing?

like i have criticisms about how they tend to attract white knight savior types, but russia making their operations harder is pretty clearly evil. i’m open to changing my stance that what they do is important, but i can’t do that if all i get is downvotes and called vapid

doctors without assisting colonialism

once something is determined woke by the grift, it can only be the focus as long as it is the right level of popular for anyone to listen to the scam. something to beloved or obscure won’t achieve the desired outrage

exactly! every instance represents an imperfect vision of their admins perfect instance. the trick is finding or founding the instance that most closely reflects what you want to see and experience on the fediverse

it does say something though about what style of moderation you prefer and who you associate yourself with. that’s why it’s literally part of the identity you present. it’s embedded in your username. it’s like your fediverse last name.

theyve been concerning me lately
