Just because it isn’t capable of causing any meaningful change doesn’t mean it’s useless.

I see a lot of folks on .ml and .hexbear not understand this part. It’s like all change must be meaningful, and if it’s not then it’s not worth our time.

Lenin taught us that we need to build within the system of the masses in order to tip them over, not overturn it outright. There is a specific time and place for when change is the most impactful

Damn straight

As an engineer, tell that to my seat-flattened ass Tim Apple.

Companies that use AI in production are sewing the seeds of their own demise.

Thanks for clearing up the misinfo

And in an ideal world, one which the EU approaches with their “holidays”, we’d have time off to just chill at home and to explore our shared habitat which we call Planet Earth.

One of their largest bridges collapsed because of a weakness in the bridge’s foundation that I think involved a landslide. You know, landslides, which can be seldom predicted ahead of time given climate change changing rainfall patterns that challenge engineers’ “100-year records”.

The Chinese also figured out that the bridge was going to collapse ahead of time, so they evacuated all motorists. Don’t think there were any casualties.

When was the last bridge collapse in the US? IIRC, it was the one near NY/NJ where a tanker/barge ran into a foundation column. How can you predict that? And how many people died as a result?

These things happen. The difference between China and the US is how well both governments react to adversity.

The “g” in “doing” on the left side of the artwork is backwards.

Could be other artifacts that don’t seem right

Pine64 discontinued the PinePhone Pro unfortunately

People have done what you say, and they’ve literally reset their motherboard with no immediate solution other than taking it to their computer repair shop. And that might even guarantee you get the motherboard back.

Very out of touch and elitist. Fuck off

And when two parties exist in a FPTP system, with one being extremely regressive, Americans expect the other party to be equally progressive in their approach!

Instead, as with the Rachet Effect, the Dems can’t onboard progressivism because they’re captured by corporate donors and consultants.

Primary 'em out!

Some think it was Trump’s threat of removing the filibuster

Never underestimate the Dems’ ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

That won’t happen. Cons will fuck over Americans.

The Dems that caved with this vote had “hope” their Con counterparts would vote the right way.

They didn’t even get real assurances in policy measures!!!

THESE are the Democrats that should be uprooted from the party and replaced with candidates that actually represent their voter base.

The fact that Dems has this many spoilers shows you that they aren’t really beating the controlled opposition claims.

We need a Democratic Party that fights back. Not one that caves to evil.

THIS is why many people on Lemmy are disillusioned by Democrats. Dems had only positive outcomes for themselves by letting the shutdown continue. They could have waited while Trump fucks the citizenry more and more, deepening their political capital for 2026.

Instead, all of the Dems who aren’t facing re-election next year, or have re-election in 2028 or 2030 voted to end the shutdown. These Dems have no opportunity loss for voting this way. Un-fucking-believable

Hasan Piker mention? In MY lemmy.world post? Without immediate ridicule?

Based

Good. We’re tired of billionaires hoarding OUR wealth, the wealth WE created, as well as the politicians paid by and for those same billionaires rigging the system on their behalf.

As any Marxist-Leninist knows though, the best time to strike the revolution is after you’ve gained the support of the public and elucidated class consciousness. We need more Leftists in political power first spreading the message of class warfare before we get there.

Because otherwise this “revolution” will be entirely selfish and unorganized and will make it harder to get anything accomplished.

So odd seeing libs talk you down in this thread, and not do basic research.

I haven’t really been following all of this because I don’t need SNAP (yet), but it seems like it’s not hard to figure this out with Google.

Hopefully more states figure out how to allocate the USDA’s emergency funds before more people starve.

Rest in Piss, Dick

Hell yeah!!!
