Really not the right take to say “we lost the Election because of Muslims not voting for Kamala”.

• It was not just Muslims who did not turn out to vote. It was a large list of different demographics. Some demographics were explicitly shown to having turned out more in order to vote for trump. Of any demographic, Muslims and Arabs were the groups who had probably the best reasons not to vote (islamophobia on both sides and our nation actively propagating a genocide of Arabs regardless of the political party in power)
• While we’re focusing on the demographics which did or didn’t show, it’s still a massive issue that the majority of Americans don’t vote, period.
• focusing on this failure as a point of anger and choosing only to blame a group you have no control over has zero value. You either need to either put your eyes forward to prepare for what comes next, or analyze what you could have done better in order to improve your own actions for next time. If there is ever a time for stoicism, it is now, right before the oncoming crisis.

That is why state government elections are so important right now.

• States all need a representative voting system implemented. Ranked Choice, STAR, it doesn’t matter, just get something that’s not a single ballot practice.
• Each state also needs it’s electoral college distributed to top candidates proportionally, by either direct vote count or by counties won. This at least somewhat neutralizes the effects of gerrymandering.

Better systems can come later, this should be a top priority for going forward. As it stands the American public doesn’t stand a chance at being represented and that needs to change first before other fixes can actually come about.

This situation can be avoided by buying your anti-diarrheals before you need them during a regular shopping day. They are very useful for hiking, and they should be in your arsenal already.

For linux users, you can add it to Steam as a nonsteam game for proton support and add the .NET 8.0 runtime environment using the explorer app in protontricks. It runs great via that method.

Kinda fucked up to invite your disabled friend who physically can’t get to the party venue to said party.

Bugtoat. It toats bugs.

I am not following what you mean by “this” when you’re asking about what I’m advocating.

In explicit terms, my understanding is that Leninists and similar ideologies believe that humanity is in its capitalist phase, and that the next phase is communism. That is what I mean when I say that they believe a revolution in the US is good for humanity.

I don’t feel good about the impact of the US being dismantled, nor do I feel good about any western nation being dismantled. I don’t think anyone has a full clue what the US collapsing would cause, but I think it would cause catastophe. I am not advocating dismantling, if that’s what you think.

I expect downvotes, but I figure thinking out loud about online discourse can be healthy to the general community and so I’m gonna do so.

The real issue here is not the fate of Gaza, I think. I believe that in reality, your failure is choosing not to be apart of the revolution that aims to dismantle the US government - the only way these groups view Gaza has any chance of being saved (by “this group” I’m referring to the condemners, who I suspect are Leninists and similar idealogues). Saying this openly is currently outside of the Overton window in the US still, since a majority Americans are uninterested in actually fighting and dying for a new system. Instead, they just imply it, or condemn stances that constrain to the status quo.

IMO, Such a revolution would need to happen within Israel for it to halt the genocide, and a revolution in US would fail to impact the Israeli government quickly enough to actually save Gaza.

Your individual likelihood of becoming fodder against police, and eventually the US military itself, is also ignored. The revolution itself is for the greater good of mankind in their eyes, and thus your life by itself is inconsequential.

Probably should be directly shutting down this call for joining the revolution rather than trying to appeal to reason - or explicitly state how you’re participating.

Overall, I think that the holy week riots demonstrated how effective violent protest can be and that something like that happening again could be good for the US. I’m aware how extreme that statement will seem to some, but the fact that the fair housing act was passed in a week should really show just how effective that kind of violent action can be, and that we shouldn’t rule it out.

At the same time though, I understand that many leftists currently are doing what they can to leverage the system to their advantage. This is not out of indoctrination, IMO, but because they have a respect for the lives of those immediately around them - they understand the alternative is sending a large portion of those around them to their die for a cause and they can’t conscionably do that. I couldn’t do that either, and I’m gonna respect how they’re operating currently and try to help how I am able.

Having issue finding anything in English stating anything other than the Donbas genocide being a smokescreen to justify Russia’s invasion. For reference, I’m searching using searx which anonymously gathers info. Do you have any links to publications about it with supporting evidence?
