  • Idk if you know this but there is a ceasefire right now. Most of the protests i went to were in response to some escalation or atrocity: new “aid” package being sent, expansion of the war into Rafah, expansion into Lebanon, ground forces going in etc. People tend to protest against escalation events but we are currently in a period of deescalation.

    You should expect to see them again in response to trump’s latest proposal, it’s not going to happen overnight since this came out of nowhere, or when the first phase of the ceasefire expires and people protest to keep it going.

    Also wtf is this aneurysm posting “it went from free Palestine to the Rivera of the middle east in 16 days” what does that even mean? And they say the pro-palestine people are bots.



  • Arms without organization are useless. If you’re thinking about getting a gun for defense against the government first figure out who you’re going to use that gun with.

    Individually owning a gun for the sake of owning a gun does nothing for the cause and is just posturing.

    but I have to buy one now because there gonna stop selling them

    That is gun industry propaganda to get you to buy more guns.




  • We need to ban advertising for all addictive substances/activities. We’ve mostly come to terms with the fact that mixing addiction and marketing are horrible for public health when it comes to cigarettes. We need to extend that to gambling, alcohol, Marijuana, hell even sugary drinks.

    Even ignoring the public health implications, it’s just cruel to recovering addicts. It must suck to see advertisements of attractive people having fun drinking beer if you’re a recovering alcoholic and are just trying to forget about it.

    I’m opposed to prohibition as it just ends up jailing minorities and empowering the police, but just because we make something legal to consume doesn’t mean we have to give it over to the market and capitalism with its perverse incentives for growth at all costs.


  • There are like 5 people who post 90% of the content on lemmy. Cm0002 is one of them and really hates tankies / anyone to the left of them.

    Most of the content on the “tankie triad” is general left wing anti-us stuff. Occasionally they’ll be some post praising China then some liberal will comment something about tianemen square or uyghurs, get banned , and then complain that the whole instance is full of genocide apologists.

    It’s not like there are regular posts praising Kim jung un or maduro like the liberals make it out to be. There are a decent amount shitting on liberals, like the reverse of this post, which perpetuates this dumb instance war. It’d be best if it stopped as were all “radical leftists” in The eyes of the rest of society and were gonna need some sort of solidarity to accomplish the 90% of things we agree on.
