    4 is deduced from 1,2,3 the deduction is just using definition and the fact both parties lead to the same outcome to come to a contradiction

    Both parties have been elected (1), both led to (2), both aren’t representative (3), You can’t blame voters if they have no power over the outcome, there’s no democracy in US

    If the point you’re trying to make is that outcome is irrelevant and only voting itself is what constitutes a democracy then this needs to be applied to other countries as well, North Korea is a democracy

    (1)In a democracy the people elect a representative of their ideology to govern them in fair elections

    (2)Both parties in the US in the 21st century start wars on foreign countries, lie about policies, submit to corrupt lobbying

    (3)Both parties in the US are not representative of the people of the US

    (4)The US is not a democracy

    Which of these is wrong?





  • You get called a Tankie when complaining about human rights violations in the middle east

    You then get called Tankie for using Tankie Sources which are the only sources that document these violations

    You then get silenced and labeled fetishist of war when posting direct evidence on the grounds of those violations as an alternative

    Then you get cold shoulder treatment and a “you deserved it for using Tankie sources” after talking people through all the above you went through

    And finally you check out what Tankies are stay in Tankie spaces




  • You wish for the 1st scenario, and i think only 2nd and 3rd are possible

    I actually think the first is also possible, it’s why i’m asking for missiles on Tel Aviv to achieve it, it’s the only way to it using thinking instead of wishing

    Ok now your turn to be the practical one I wish for 1st scenario, which do you think are possible?


  • I’d always choose lasting peace and wellbeing happily, i love everyone and i want everyone to live a happy life

    Neighbors of Israel can’t, so my case on the missiles does not change, i’m not asking for equal destruction using fragmentation shells, bio weapons or torture, i’m asking for change in population or government’s stance on human life

    That’s not going to happen as educating Israelis is terrorist activity and grounds for imprisonment, the government is never going to change their stance so long as supportive capitalists have capital in capitalism system, capitalism is never going to change with US foreign interference policy

    peace and wellbeing is based off of equality, maybe seeing the destruction happening locally will put the images of leveled cities they cheered for in a different light giving birth to that equality

    Missiles to Tel Aviv

    (I’m sorry but my take on this is well rooted in reality so i have to keep referencing it to make my point and i’m sorry if that’s not what you wanted, i don’t really see the point in sheltering israel based on theory and i just refuse even entertaining that thought so i don’t offend the dead)

    It’s not about being different from history that matters, it’s being different from the present, Israel is a genocidal supremacist illegal state, it blockaded Gaza completely after it got threatened to stop killing and invading in other countries

    Israelis are dancing in gyms to music the lyrics of “We will burn down your towns”, they’re threatening to rape people in their pro-occupation parades, the state is humiliating and torturing their victims and their victims’s saviors

    Peace and love after missiles to Tel Aviv, if Israelis are not fleeing to Gaza and Lebanon there’s not going to be love or peace, because they don’t want love or peace

    Remember that they have nukes? Complacency, support, diplomacy and pressure only make them continue the genocide?

    Missiles to Tel Aviv before more millions get displaced or die




  • AI didn’t steal jobs or creative work of most normal IRL people, so same as with what happened to artist years ago, they had to navigate the crisis without them, the same is happening to programmers now, people IRL are not exposed on a personal level to as much of the dark side of AI business, only environmental and educational arguments land with them, and they’re not as effective when it gives them access to seemingly free art, info and computer skills they never had

    This is how i understood them personally, they don’t see it as their war, just as a war, hopefully with free subsidized system going away they’ll take a harder stance like the rest of us


  • This is normal don’t be ashamed, social media, chaos of this decade and phones have destroyed our attention span, keeping focused on an activity is so difficult for most of this generation especially if it’s as uneventful as reading is

    My best advice is to try Manga, the visuals might keep you interested enough to hook you on the activity of reading, then you can try more text heavy books as you go, you have to be addicted to it to fight addiction of phones

    You can also try Audiobooks but i personally find myself zoning out on them so many times, it’s like i’m consuming books without actually taking in it’s content
