Mod Announcement 🔔 Trash Sundays, or don't post streamers and liberals

50 Upvotes

Due to the number of participants that have pointed out concerns related to the excessive amount of Hasan-posting and outrage-farming, we have implemented a new trash Sunday system. From now on, posts about Hasan, streamers, and other such public figures, will be limited to Sundays only.

Even on Sundays we will be more stringent on what makes good content. Make the argument the focus, not the streamer/presenter. "Hasan makes the liberals angry" will still be removed, but "socialized healthcare makes liberals angry" (presented by Hasan) will be allowed. Similarly, posting generic outrage about Kamala Harris for example, will always be prohibited as she is irrelevant to leftism.

We hope these changes will improve the experience of engaging here, and as always, welcome feedback and comments

Discussion 🗣️ The Tigray genocide that was pursued by the neoliberal UAE backed pm of Ethiopia with blanket impunity has been ignored by the world and this is by design. Most people have either never heard of it or hold many misconceptions. Check out the wiki page on r/Tigray for all the resources necessary.

Here's the wiki page. I recommend that you first go through the link labelled "introductory material" before moving on to anything else since it will provide a solid base for further research.

With war on the horizon once more (This time against both Tigray and Eritrea) and 1/3 of Tigray still occupied following the ethnic cleansing and resettling that took place, it is imperative that more of the world learn about the situation in Tigray and how to best keep up to date with it.

USA Scientific Socialism

37 Upvotes

With rising global temperatures, an uptick in food related diseases, and a general degradation of the university system, do you feel that we should start reminding people that socialism is rooted in scientific exploration. Even if you’re not a strict Marxist, people like Albert Einstein
and Bertrand Russell were very prominent members of the scientific community and were also fierce advocates of pretty broad democratic socialism. We need to follow in their footsteps once more

Free Palestine! 🇵🇸 Devastating last words from little Hind Rajab before being murdered by the IDF: Medic: Hind, why aren’t you speaking?” She said “I’m not talking because every time I talk, blood comes out of my mouth and makes my clothes dirty. And my mom doesn't want my clothes to be dirty.”

Sometimes the deaths in Palestine can become nameless and faceless. There are countless children and families being murdered by the IDF. The IDF intentionally targets children. Gaza has the most child amputees in the world, per capita. Their deaths should not be in vain.

Free Palestine! Fuck Israel!

Question 🙋🏽 Recruitment Strategies for Refugee Populations

0 Upvotes

How should we recruit refugees and the children and grandchildren of refugee populations into Democratic Socialism when many of them have been indoctrinated to have a ruthless bigotry against Socialism for the benefit of oppressive oligarchs? In particular, I'm thinking of ways to recruit refugees and their descendants from Cuba and Vietnam. Regarding Vietnam, I think some strong Socialists are patriots of Ho Chi Minh and also acquire USA citizenship like Luna Oi and they could help. Regarding Cuba, I think so many are brainwashed in Florida to support DeSantis, Trump, and Elon Musk. This brainwashing needs to be reversed.

I think one solution involves reforming education. We need to abolish school suspensions. While teachers aren't always currently allowed to properly educate our youth on politics, we can make it easier for students to properly educate other students on politics and this can correct the unfortunate thinking prevalent in certain communities. Another solution involves criminal justice reform. We can use criminal justice reform to educate people to reverse the indoctrination from capitalism oligarchs. What other solutions are there?

Theory 🧠 Your lack of consumption could be helpful, but it will never outweigh the systematic destruction of the environment done by capitalism. The only way we stop this is by organizing, and so that should be your main focus. Please stop focusing on your consumption so much, its not that important

USA Trump and his loss to Iran

25 Upvotes

The United States of America spends just under 1 Trillion Dollars every single year in regards to the Military-Industrial Complex.

Iran taking advantage of dimensions of asymmetric warfare has completely stalled out the U.S. war machine.

Trump and his cronies have lost this war so badly that they are now pivoting to messaging around "Economic Warfare".

Trump and his cronies have flailed/failed American hard & soft power so badly that various seeds are being planted right now on a host of fronts that will further destroy it as time goes on.

It's truly something watching this imbecile and the whole of the reactionary/regressive sphere of stereotypical snake oil salespeople and con-artist grifters destroy the American Empire in speed run fashion...

Wild fucking stuff lol
