I wonder what the similarities are between Nepal and the Romanian revolution. That’s the only other one that comes to mind in which, as I understand it, the military defected to the side of the revolutionaries and then ceded power to a new regime
Probably more something to do with when they learned English


The most successful gun designs are those that could be put in the hands of teenagers to turn them into killing machines
Maybe to not set the carpet on fire during the day


I’ll take your word for it. I’m going off of msm reporting which, as we all know, is pretty alarmist clickbait most of the time


Unfortunately, as I hear it, South Korea is also in a bit of a scare


So the US should balkanize before they get better leadership


You’re obviously not considering the economy. We have to find a way to consume our way out of this problem


Only if you’re in California


Oh it was accidental. Somebody just let loose in a manhattan office and managed to hit a few parasites, go figure. They really meant to attack the nfl for suppressing research into the effects of head trauma on football players


Corporate America is it’s own mob


Propaganda efforts large than we can imagine operating for decades. How has the rural poor identity morphed from union men and worker solidarity to backing military and police? It got too dangerous and they stomped it out with myths of foreign adversaries. I’m of the mind that we need to reach across political lines to overcome this, we can’t allow them to split the country evenly in half or we’ll be in a deadlock forever that just lets them do what they want. It can seem herculean but there are shades of it when a CEO is killed on the streets or a bunch of politicians work together to protect pedophiles; political identity fades and it becomes more obvious that it’s us against them
Also a lot of the most disenfranchised are kept from voting at all. Either they have to work, polling place is too far away and they don’t have a car, polling place getting changed, don’t have a permanent address
A lot of factors of one’s success are totally out of their control too. Also, I don’t think their success is really something a kid should be worried about manifesting yet
I’d probably guess the Italians


It might make some difference that while Bernie represents Vermont, Zohran would represent New York which is like the national headquarters of capitalism
I don’t even know who this shit is for. I see the censored memes far more on lemmy than I do any other social media platform. Is this all coming from facebook? Because they themselves are often screenshots of content from tumblr or twitter


Or, to some extent, how ND kids are treated at any school. We weren’t physically abused where I went but it was obvious that we weren’t wanted. most of the kids like me I grew up with have already OD’d or killed themselves in adulthood
So if younger generations have less and less capital with which to enter the housing market, then where does the value appreciation come from I wonder?
