I've been using it for years, and switched to that repository soon after the previous versions were taken down. No issues with it afaik, and I'm very grateful to the developers for keeping it going.

Hi, just to let you know we don't allow x.com links, but you can swap it to a https://xcancel.com/ or https://archive.is/ version of the link, or a screenshot instead.

Thanks.

My bad, I missed the .uk instead of .org

It's an unbelievably stupid decision imo. Talk about tone deaf.

Another banger read

iabt with your wife just use your Bowie knife thats what its there for

Hear hear!

Awesome, well now we have one :)

Thanks, interesting article. What is the source? I couldn't find it.

Yes but they are busy passing on the burden to future generations.

You can't expect ppl to be sober and moderate content lol.

I don't think that's true tbh. The Dems have never managed to nominate a popular woman as their presidential candidate before. Clinton was almost universally disliked by the public (for lots of good reasons other than her gender), and ex-prosecutor Harris's campaign was hamstrung by Biden, as well as being seen as an other pro-corporate Democrat stooge. AOC might actually have a fighting chance compared to her predecessors. But she'll never be able to be the Democratic candidate until the old guard of leadership is replaced, let's face facts.

Iabt i'm antiantinudalist myself but i dont know about elfs how can they be patriots when they only answer to the elf king thats not what we fought a war for

for internal political affairs in OTHER countries outside Europe and against democratic values and human right

The protests are in support of human rights. Germany is in the business of selling weapons to Israel to continue the genocide in Gaza, and seems to be trying to suppress any criticism by labelling critics as anti-semitic. Two genocides don't cancel each other out. Even IF your argument was morally defensible, you can only claim it is an external political matter if Germany stops supplying weapons to Israel. Also, ACAB.

Above all the cost of policing is what you are concerned about? What a deeply unserious position.

You can edit the post to remove the NSFW tag. I can't do it for you unfortunately.

Are you doin' ok buddy?

It seems to me we are really only arguing about the degree to which the Republicans are worse than the Democrats. You are arguing the case that the Dems are significantly more benevolent, but that's a very subjective assessment and depends what type of issues you decide to focus on. If you are more focused on international affairs and the number of brown people being killed by US manufactured weapons then there is no significant difference between the parties. If you are focused on domestic issues like health care then, sure, Obamacare is significantly better than nothing, even if it is a pale imitation of what a properly functioning health care system looks like.

When you look at the big(ger) picture, the US is governed under a plutocratic system of government whichever side is in power. The only way to have a properly functioning liberal democracy is to prevent owners of private capital from having any say in how the country is governed (so no more corporate donations, industry lobbyists, legislation written by large corporations, etc). But neither mainstream party has any intention of tackling those issues, or tackling wealth inequality. There's sadly very little policy difference between the two parties on those issues in my opinion, and I don't think it's misleading to point it out.

Neoliberalism is the dominant form of liberalism not only in the US but in most of the west, so it's safe to assume that's the definition we're working with here. But here, I'll give you another example:

Look at how Demsthe German government has treated paying customer Israel vs non-paying folks in Gaza.
