Panorama of hell

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

A big difference between US and Brazil is that Lula offered progressive things, started BRICS, etc. What are dems going to offer? In Brazil they met message with message. What is the dems message? A few of them want med4all but most don't. Most support Isreal. They all support nato imperialism. 🤷‍♂️

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

like this? this is the whole logic of deplatforming, en toto. if you were wondering why center-right liberals and blackshirts were horrified by deplatforming as a strategy and quailed about 'cancel culture', this is why: because it works.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Macron government banned protests. Tried to shut down social media. Mobilized the armed Police. Fascist thugs mobilized their militias to support the police. And yet they came out to the streets to protest. This is what 'resistance' looks like.

Lula Goes HARD

Marxist analysis begins with material conditions, class relations and institutional power—not Western liberalism as the default. Scrutinize corporate diversity, culture wars, medical markets, state ideology and media through the lens of capital and class struggle. #Marxism

“protein enriched chocolate chip cookie” is kinda the perfect synthesis of the conflicting american male desires to be a spartan warrior and also five years old

I hate gay Halloween what do you mean you’re the taxidermied crocodile from Ken Russell’s controversial masterpiece The Devils

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

i just read the average usage of this site went down 30% this year which is actually cool for like a social media place but not great for like having to sell stuff in a capitalist economy where my livelihood depends on spreading my work to new audiences

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

when ppl say 'communism doesn't work,' 'socialism doesn't work,' they are parroting stuff they heard from their dad, uncle, south park, CIA, etc. meanwhile in reality www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tmi...

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Booms and bursts are not the system malfunctioning. It's a necessary part of capitalist systems. It's a result of a framework that demands infinite growth in a closed system. That's why China hasn't had a market crash in 40 years and we've had one every 8-10 years

it's not lost on me that the slashing of DEI initiatives is congruent with the rise of forcing genAI systems into workplaces...
