Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
China has near global monopolies on these exports, accounting for 98% of global gallium production, 93% of germanium production, and 49% of antimony production.
That’s exactly what is going to happen lmao the U.S. acts like it can do to China what it does to Cuba. Too late for that no buddy, you sent all of your production there!
It's like I'm taking crazy pills! Why are you fucking with our manufacture base?! We have no alternative!! We need to replace them before we fuck with them.
Never interrupt your enemy while they are in the process of making a mistake
I've literally had people dismiss me like, you're a Marxist you just want to see the US destroyed. Motherfucker I love here. I actually prefer it not be destroyed .
I live here and don't care any more. My comfort is built on the death of thousands every day, let it burn
I disagree. The US can no longer exist in its current form for the world to ever recover.
If that means that, by some miracle, a successful and peaceful communist revolution happens (by some minority-led resistance), the FBI/CIA/etc. are toppled, and the new government actually starts the long healing process, great. I would be incredibly suspicious of this outcome, but still, unnecessary bloodshed would of course be preferable. This would still not be the US as we know it.
If that means that the US must be overthrown in a world war, then as much as I'd rather not have a world war, it has to happen. Allowing the US (or any of its other allies) to continue genociding millions, and harming and exploiting the lives of billions more, for the gain of a few is unacceptable by any legitimate moral standard.
I agree. The people with the power will never let the problems be solved. It's just a preference. We deserve what's coming.
I'm happy to go down with this Ship of Nighmares. Like Stink here, I am disgusted at the unavoidable blood sacrifices that make my way of life tick. I refuse to help an evil rose bloom, even if I live on the very same vine.
I will be singing praises and comforting my loved ones as this rampaging monster is brought down.
If Viktor Frankl can find solace and happiness in a Nazi concentration camp, I can manage to live what's left of my life happily celebrating the end of this Evil Empire.
