100% came here to say basically the same thing. There’s nothing to be gained by blaming black/queer activism for the grievances of pale bros. Seems highly sus.

YDI. Iran is being threatened with imperial violence more than ever. Now is not the time to be promoting imperial propaganda. Nobody cares about your “but akshualllyyy”. Save it for the libs who completely support zionism, colonialism, etc. If the imperial “revolution” succeeds, the leftist groups that you supposedly support will be the first to be attacked like anywhere else.

The upvotes are a sad statement on the scientific literacy of Lemmy.

This is straight up quack science. The “math” is nonsense based on vague statements without a testable hypothesis in sight.

Rule 1: The universe is a single, continuous thread of attention.

Ok whatever. Cool story. The rest of the rules are similar.

I think I know which one.

Why do the number of pages matter?

Because that’s the only accomplishment.

Please publish in a peer-review context so you can get some recognition/feedback/evaluation of your research.

This stuff is too groundbreaking for regular physicists to understand! \s

Yeah, he’s been spamming me for months, asking for money, and saying all kinds of things like this.

It’s insane completely unsurprising that impeachment hasn’t happened yet

Otherwise yeah…

Right on but… Death to America USA.

Everywhere is currently fucked but hopefully not unavoidably.

Why not smash those two empires instead?

So now you’re spamming this sub?!?! \s

My dad stole cable. Just continuing the family tradition.

It’s pretty amazing how qbittorent is such a nice app, while something like youtube is constantly shoving ads up your butt.

If we’re talking about music, go see the band and buy a shirt. That will help them like 1000000x more than paying for netflix, spotify, etc.

Same way people fall into liberal mindset - endless, uncontested propaganda from schools, media, etc. You hear chunks of market ideology here and there. Takes some “econ” classes. Don’t bother researching unprofitable alternatives.

For the same reason people fall into fascism.

Agreed. But I think “liberalism” is the underlying problem. Fascism is its extreme.

It’s the same question as how do people fall into the “liberal” mindset?

After seeing people worship enslavers and their state… These people literally enslaved millions of people and genocided millions more. And their state continues to invade and murder people around the planet… So how do seemingly rational people accept and support this violent, racist, system that’s literally destroying the planet? How can people be mad at Mao but not also every president? How do they feel complacent and self-righteous about voting for people who support genocide? The rationalizations are all over Lemmy, much more so than tankie rationalizations.

The point is that libs and tankies are basically the same thing, just worshiping a different empire. People want to feel like they’re part of some global movement, regardless of whether the movement is actually evil.
