i think psl is about as good as dsa and both a little better than cpusa, frso is just too small.
if u carefully read my comment u will notice that i only used the word "good" to say something was not good, because it isnt good, non of it is and thats not what was asked the question was how is voting for democrats any better, yes its not good enough that much is self evident, i never said it was, that was never the claim i said it was better. there are 2 options at the federal level neither is good and again i didnt say either was but if u are going to bother to vote one is better.
ur response doesnt even engage with what i said at all, pointing out that the measures are half ass doesnt in any way contradict that they are better than the alternative of literally nothing, pointing out that biden is bad does not exclude the possibility that he is better. it is just mind boggling to me that some people can not understand the meaning of better and lesser it is just so bizarre.
when liberals say the communist oppressed lgbtq people thing they mean it as a criticism of communism in comparison to capitalism, as in "the ussr under stalin had bad lgbtq legislation therefore capitalism is a better system" this is a rejection of that criticism because how could this possibly indicate that capitalism is better when the failure of communist in this particular case is that they werent better capitalist like they were supposed to be.
they are the only real leftist options in the usa and contrary to the impression u might get from looking at their federal level organization and people, theres a lot of based people at the bottom and some local chapters are straight up just good.
we got some train money and the usa is back on the paris accord and they passed the best climate legislation the usa has (to be clear because i know u dont understand the word "best" it is not good nor enough it less bad than everything else), we got some student loan debt relief. a few good things have actually happened that would almost certainly not have happened otherwise.
stemlords?
no no no one more wonder weapon will fix this for sure
what is that supposed to mean?
u forgot to put the Secretarybird in god tier u know the coolest bird. also the portuguese man o' wars is a strong d tier contender those things are weird and disgusting and they sting.
gotta love how they did infact NOT name 2 countries that china has bombed
I mean there where muslims princely states which ruled in what became India over hindu majorities up until the British Raj was dismantled which is withing living memory. if u go by when the last independent sultan fell to the eic its still not so long ago either way its not like a few hundred years more or less makes it ok or no longer matter.
nothing apple ever has a normal price
it seems like all religions do that, atleast theres actual history to support it in this case, their ancestors really did get invaded and oppressed by muslims.
kinda they export capital goods, their corporations behave in imperialist ways sometimes and im sure their capitalist would love to be an empire, however they are not part of or atleast not at the core of the global imperialist capitalist system that exists today they are a victim of it and of organizations like the imf and the world bank not the beneficiaries, and while they export capital goods they do so at about the same rate as brazil and south korea for example countries which no one would refer to as being part of the core. so no
however russia is a settler colonial country and is imperialist in that way and while i get that the problems faced by indigenous people in russia are rather minor compared to countries like the usa or canada its kinda fucked up that most leftits wont even acknowledge this reality.
Curious when Germany went to conquer the Chinese market in 1897 they did so with guns and warships not with trade vessels, i think these Germans forget what conquering a market looks like.
i feel like the fact that amerikkkan equipment is overpriced must be a big factor too.
while u can make a case that what the european powers did in what is now the united states was continued by the usa its insane to say that it is the same event as what other or the same european powers did elsewhere some of these genocides are separated by centuries they were carried by different people often from different countries using different tactics for different reasons to completely different people who were not in contact with eachother and they often did this without even known what other colonizers were doing, the idea that what the european powers were doing was somehow cohesive is ridiculous.
i think ur scale of time is way out of whack for this, for example the peoples of the caribbean had already been complety erased for decades before jamestown had been stablished let alone the colonies let alone an american national identity.
And also the original meme about the united states not the entirety of the americas it was about what the united states did which israel and nazi germany copied.
yes 130 million in the americas not in what is now the usa the most populated areas where in central america and the Andes. even high estimates for what is now the usa and canada are at around 8 million the highest dont go above 13 million which is around the number of soviet civilians the nazis killed and much lower that the total number of civilians the nazis killed. and going even further most of those people died from diseases. by the time the usa became a country there were only 700k indegenous people in what is now the the contiguous us i think its fair to say the usa is responsible for the genocides that happened even before that but point is in terms of raw numbers there is no comparison.
u say in terms of scale it was the most expansive but what scales are those.
