I asked to see BOB hoping to see the guy in the advert but instead it was some early 30s guy who looks like he masturbates too hard. I want to buy a bed / futon because I stood on mine and it broke so it’s like I’m slowly being swallowed by the hole when I sleep and it’s extremely uncomfortable. I asked “best bed couches please” and the guy showed me there “best” but they were two thousand dollars minimum, I asked “oh so the discount is applied during the purchase” and discount Bob was like “no you pay this price AND taxes” wtf.. I asked if they had any cheaper and they said “go to reymour and Flanagan across the street or order online”

They were running against a batshit insane senile cheeto and couldn't win the election anyway. They refused to go left, they collaborate with devils like the cheneys and when we pointed out the writing on the wall, we were met with "russian disinformation farms" and "tankies" for having a fucking brain and seeing that moving right will not make racist sexist republicans vote for a black woman. And lo and behold, 94% of republicans voted for trump, FUCKING OBVIOUSLY. The only fucking reason Kamala didn't run on being progressive was because at the end of the day, there's no "lesser evil," and we've all been saying this for fucking ever, the democrats are genocidal capitalist ghouls, and they will support america's interests no matter how much blood is spilled and no matter how many people get stomped on by bigots controlling the white house, the senate, the supreme court (which the democrats just let get stocked with republicans) and probably the house too. And they don't care. "Just give us money and make sure to vote blue next election" before they slink off into the darkness and begin their political pickpocketing two years from now. FUCK, now queer and genderqueer and bipoc people in america have to live with the republicans doing whatever they want for the next four years because GOD FORBID THE DEMOCRATS LISTEN TO A SINGLE FUCKING HING THEIR CONSTITUENTS SAY INSTEAD OF PLUGGING THEIR EARS AND SCREAMING "VOTE!"

i hate it here. every one of you redditors that posted shit like "i'm on the right side of history" while you refuse to leverage your one single fucking scrap of political power in this shitty dictatorship. fuck lemmy.world, fuck reddit, fuck libs for soypogging for kamala's campaign and not using their eyes to see that there's no difference in the end, the ghouls are ghouls.

Edit for clarity: I'm not asking why the Tankie/Anarchist grudge exist. I'm curious about what information sources - mentors, friends, books, TV, cultural osmosis, conveys that information to people. Where do individuals encounter this information and how does it become important to them. It's an anthropology question about a contemporary culture rather than a question about the history of leftism.

I've been thinking about this a bit lately. Newly minted Anarchists have to learn to hate Lenin and Stalin and whoever else they have a grudge against. They have to encounter some materials or teacher who teaches them "Yeah these guys, you have to hate these guys and it has to be super-personal like they kicked your dog. You have to be extremely angry about it and treat anyone who doesn't disavow them as though they're literally going to kill you."

Like there's some process of enculturation there, of being brought in to the culture of anarchism, and there's a process where anarchists learn this thing that all (most?) anarchists know and agree on.

Idk, just anthropology brain anthropologying. Cause like if someone or something didn't teach you this why would you care so much?

Absolutely demonic

I wonder if mainstream media will report this part of the story, or just the part where they get their backsides beaten.

These are the people Biden pretends to want a two state solution with.

Utterly demonic settler behavior

I'm struggling to find numbers because Google has been enshittified and will only show me local rental advertising, but, like, if I understand this the cost of food, since Biden took office, is up like 20%, and rent is up ~30%, medicine and childcare are still totally unaffordable, and everything else is much more expensive. Meanwhile wages are up like, idk, 20$ a week or something.

Cause, this all adds up to me as people are drastically poorer than they were four years ago, but the economics perverts on bsky insist people should kiss Biden's shoes because wages are up 4.3% and "The ecnonomy is good."

Can someone help with numbers I don't know how to convince a liberal that people need to eat food or they'll die.

There's so much text here I don't know how to alt text it but it's a list of 17 bluesky block lists I'm on because I'm a evil cryptofash tankie authoritarian trump supporting jill stein voting blah blah blah and it looks like I got on an anti-ukraine list somehow?

Democratic politics in a nutshell

many such cases folks

My university 🏫 days were filled with enthusiasm and hope. Every morning ⏱️at seven, I would wake up eagerly, get ready, and head to my university—the place where I planted my dreams. 💤I attended lectures, met my friends who ere an inseparable part of that beautiful ♥️🌷experience. We’d have breakfast together, laugh, and share our thoughts about the future and the projects we dreamed of achieving.🥺 But suddenly, the war came. The bombs of occupation destroyed everything. Our lives turned upside down, and the dream became rubble. I lost many of my friends, and the place lost the warmth it once had. Our dreams vanished, leaving painful memories of every moment I spent with them.😭💔 Each of us emerged from that experience with a painful story, with a wound that doesn’t heal, a dream that turned into a memory, and a hope that evaporated in the sky of cruelty and occupation.💔 https://gofund.me/1222af19

Ugh these people suck so bad. On average, western leftists are worse than useless. Some bullet points are kinda interesting, even if annoying.

That's the post

“I didn’t vote,” says the Kangaroo.

“Are you not allowed?”

“I am not allowed and I don’t want to.”

“You don’t want to?”

“No, because it’s not an election,” says the Kangaroo. “It’s just the illusion of democracy, a mock poll, the Fata Morgana of popular government. In short, it’s only the appearance of an election, or, to use the official terminology: a dummy ballot.

“A dummy ballot?”

“It’s as if you go into a supermarket and can choose between soup packets by Maggi or soup packets by Knorr, but in reality, it’s all Nestlé. The dummy ballot suggests freedom, but in reality, I tell you: it’s all capitalism, it’s all Nestlé, it’s all chicken. But because I generally do not wish to consume packaged soup, I don’t really give a hoot about brand options at the supermarket.”

I never finished reading it, but the first chapter is on youtube as an audiobook read by the author, it's good for a laugh

When you're scrolling through social media please keep in mind that Social Media users, especially Reddit, Twitter, and Bsky are deeply strange freaks and may not be representative of the general population. There are lots of normal people in America too. Admittedly, Id on't know any of them because I haven't touched grass in years, but they exist.

Your fear of capture and imprisonment is an implant from millions of years ago. This battle is with you from before you know, this is not you, it’s not you, you are asleep. Your spirit was free moving from body to the next body, free, free for a moment then it was captured by an invader force bent on turning you to the darkest way. You’ve been implanted with a push pull mechanism that keeps you fearful of authority and destructive. We’re in the middle of a battle that is a trillion years in the making and it’s bigger than the both of us.

it is somewhere in-between

"They love me, ME, not you crooked Joe. You know you always were crooked, crooked and hates Jews, that's you Joe that's you and lyin' laughin' Kamala. Sorry but I'M Israel's friend. NOT YOU."

"I uh, I uh, I l-love you and uh Israel both, fat, Prump, um, look, stupid, point is I imploded the democrat's relationship with muslims and the working class to protect war criminals."
