I think us leftists in America need to put together a wrestling promotion further left than AEW. WWE is MAGA, AEW is DNC. We need a wrestling promotion equivalent of punk rock/actual leftists out in the streets doing things to communicate with the world what AEW and WWE miss about what goes on around here. I think it should be Luchadora inspired since the queer/femme scene in northern Mexico is really popping off right now

Man what a huge disappointment given I find nothing of value in streamer drama. I’m sure it’s entertaining if you’re into that sort of thing but if I wanted unlikeable people yelling at eachother while crowds of people who already knew who they wanted to win and didn’t really care what the actual outcome was watched, I’d go to a backyard pro wrestling promotion lol

To emphasize: not trying to yuck anyone’s yum, but I have so many people in life come to me like I for sure definitely have a favorite streamer when how I try to engage with streamers and their opinions on things is I don’t lol

Default lemmy UI

That’s bonkers lol. I just opened my DMs and was like “what are you even talking about?!”

Is this… Not a DM? It’s appearing on my end as DMs? Where are you seeing it?

what the fuck? where did i do this? and no, i’m not an Asmongold fan. i think ALL streamers are scumbags and part of the problem. Hasan is the most least part of the problem, however i still dislike him

It’s a riff I have going with my wife that no one wants to hang out with the Tok’ra, and especially no one wants to hang out with the ancients, however, all of the great races want to hang with O’neil because (in your best Thor impression) “he’s a good hang”

everything really went to shit when Andrew Jackson just broke the constitution because he hated the Cherokee so much

it’s Selmak, sir. and he says he’s not gonna be a frustrating douche like last time

reminds me of how in australia you’re not allowed to have a big knife unless you have a good reason. i feel like “it’s the national identity” should be a good enough reason

decent chance this was a mass coalition of popular support to oust a dictator large enough that the dictator understood it was concede gracefully or be drug from the palace by his ankles and then hung publically

see also FD Signifier’s video about how american conservatism is a death cult

talk to your coworkers about forming a union. think of the time you spend in mutual aid projects not as being volunteer work, but instead as being your real purpose driven work. understand that the terror america enacts abroad is the terror enacted domestically. the main reason we struggle to garner coalition support is that the right believes lies about us and the nascent left that would join us is outright fearful of the consequences. in this current environment, being in possession of documents clearly outlining the terror we live under is considered terrorism and a jailable offense. if you want people to not be scared to act you have to demonstrate to them that they are not alone and that you are on their side and that you’re willing to help them.

this is a marathon not a sprint. also don’t be afraid to ask the people you meet along the way for help

no i know. this is just something i have to explain frequently to people who bought the NRA propaganda

“well regulated militia” means “a militia the state approves of”

What do you mean with this usage of the word Luddite, I’m confused? The Luddites were left wing populists. Moreover the modern day right wing are supposed technocrats desiring to leverage AI both as a mechanism of control and as a justification for the extraction of oil, coal, natural gas, and water in their war against the land.

There’s also some questions about when Peter Thiel’s influence over him began

that’s a significant point and ties into my point about my GRF being build around a logical fallacy about modern warfare. not only is the american military a huge slush fund, it’s built around assumptions that may simply not make sense anymore. who knows what the future holds, but things are about to get weird. i have hope that enough of us who believe in a peaceful and just world will be able to harness the power of the people to forge a better world than the one we currently live in

For that reason I go by naval deckspace since military history is basically the history of who’s the best at building boats. If we go by military expenditure, we would assume that America’s military is 4x more powerful than the next most powerful military (China). If we go by deckspace, however, America and China are peers in military power. It gets even more complicated when you take into consideration that America’s latest weapons platforms (The F-35 and the Gerald R Ford class carriers) are designed around logical fallacies, and you have a situation where the world’s seas are patrolled by a paper tiger.

Add to this that American military doctrine is built entirely around either facing a peer nation like Russia or China or a non-peer colony like Nicaragua, and that the military is suddenly sizing up near-peer nations like Iran, and things could be about to get very spicy fast.

Here are some things people outside of the United States that people can advocate for to reduce America’s military influence:

• Take to the streets and demand your governments divest themselves of the American Military Industrial Complex. F-35 diplomacy is America’s strongest ties to other nations
• Get a movement going to teach your youths not to fight. Here in the states conscription is spinning up because no one is coming willingly to the recruitment centers anymore. More and more people are seeing the US military for what it really is, a giant slush fund and exploitation scheme. This is a new wrinkle I’ve never seen before in my life.
• Have some grace for the people who fell for the propaganda schemes of the last 40-80 years that convinced them military service was about keeping nations safe and not about the continued rape of the global south
• Create mutual aid projects that help people from being so desperately poor that they feel military service is the only way for them to eat. The strength of the labor movement has always been our ability to feed the people, and when we’ve failed it’s always been because people were too hungry to see that we wanted what they wanted: peace, dignity, and a life worth living

All the posts are gone now. This was about 9 months ago so I haven’t kept any records. I don’t know how that fits into any timelines. Again, I’m sorry about this genuine misunderstanding
