I had to install a new not-Zoom web conference software on my work pc for literally one meeting and now it opens automatically every day 🙃

The local Dems focused on holding the Governor’s seat. Beshear has a lot of good will in the state; he put out press conferences that people thought were comforting during lockdown and when people took Covid seriously, and some people really like him because of that. He also supports abortion, and abortions are now effectively illegal in the commonwealth, despite people in Kentucky supporting abortion access. He’s also the son of Steve Beshear, former governor of Kentucky before Matt Bevin.

Daniel Cameron’s campaign was weak. He focused on transphobia, which is just not motivating to most people. Talked about Beshear’s covid response, letting people out of jail, shutting down in-person church services, out of context as a smear that never stuck. Focused on Beshear’s cooperation with Joe Biden, which Beshear’s campaign responded to by focusing on Cameron’s cooperation with, and similarities to Matt Bevin, the last, incredibly unpopular Republican Governor. He had to constantly defend on abortion, saying that he would support conditional access in cases of rape and incest, which is currently illegal, if the Republican-controlled legislature voted for it. This is after he supported the total ban as Attorney General.

Decolonization is a bloody and violent process. Once you colonize a place and the people that live there, the only ways that it will end is the near-complete extermination of the colonized peoples by the colonizers, or decolonization. There can never be a lasting, peaceful status quo, as the interests of the colonized and the colonizers are inexorably opposed. The colonizer wants more of what is and was the colonized’s. The colonized want to keep their homes, and to not be subject to the colonizers. Both will use violence to achieve their ends.

The question of “how can peace be achieved in Palestine” is not “how can the current conflict be resolved,” but instead “should Palestinians be subject to ethnic cleansing, including violently and directly as occurred during the Nakba, or should Palestinians govern Palestine?”

No one cares how well they work to detect lies if someone “failing” or refusing to take a polygraph test can be used as evidence. No one in a position to ban their use, anyway.

smh my head at these fake friends 😔

The laws that govern the organization of the bourgeois republic are as innate as the laws that govern reality. The separation of powers, like gravity, is to be understood and worked within, as critique is pointless, because change is impossible.

The last sub I used a bunch was r/traa. I really had no reason to go back to Reddit once it shut down.

Now we have c/traa on Hexbear

She sounds pretty based ngl

A little over 3 years

I honestly forgot that there was a 4th one lmao

Just got all 3 mass effect games for $3 at the thrift shop let’s gooooo

I feel the same. The last game I pre-ordered was like No Man’s Sky, which might be part of it for me lol.

Putting American boots on the ground is not the only way that the United States brings death and destruction to a region to further (or protect, as some Amercan politicians call it) American, and more broadly western, hegemony (or American interests, as craven ghouls call it). The use of proxy forces like in Afghanistan during the 80s, coups like those carried out in Chile in 73 and, well really most of South America in the latter 20th century, sanctions against countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and the DPRK (which are explicitly put in place to make life worse for the people living there and produce people who would be willing to commit violent acts to overthrow the local government not adequately subordinate to the United States), facilitating the mass murder of people opposed to the pro-america regime or too supportive of communism like in Indonesia and South Korea several times, all bring massive loss of life and terrible suffering. The crimes against humanity carried out by the United States and on their behalf are so terrible and widespread that it is difficult to name a country that has not had blood spilled to advance American hegemony in it. Like Cuba.

At that though, the United States is no stranger to directly deploying troops to crush opposition to American hegemony. Like in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan again, and the RSFSR immediately after the revolution. War is terrible, but it is not out of the question to enforce American hegemony.

In Ukraine, the United States is not interested in preserving democracy or the self determination of the Ukranian people. It never has been in any of the countries or among any of the organizations that receive its support. The United States ultimately wants to have control over the Russian economy to use as a source of cheap labor and resources. That was the USSR and later Russia were denied, several times, entry into NATO, an ostensibly defensive alliance for the region that Russia is in, and the purpose of the rapid privatization of post-soviet economies after ‘91. Ukraine is caught in the terrible position of being used to advance the United States’ goal in the region. Support for Ukraine will be dropped when the United States government believes that it is no longer useful or viable to support them against Russia, after who knows how many people are dead and permanently injured, and how many more whose entire lives have been destroyed.

They tried, using a proxy force of Cuban exiles.

Oh fuck these are the best emojis yet lmao

Homophobes and transphobes should be censored and canceled ☺️
