Spending money on infrastructure to prevent pedestrian and cyclist deaths? I sleep.
Spending money on raiding storefronts that sell clean drugs? REAL SHIT

You're being downvoted but you're not really wrong. Biden just sent millions of more dollars to the cops " to protect schools " as if American police departments aren't already some of the most heavily armed and well equipped police in the world right now.
The Republicans are definitely more overt in their anti women and anti queer rheortic and actions, but the dems are fortifying the military industrial complex when the writing on the wall is clearly that these weapons will be used agaisnt the people domestically rather then protecting any schools or whatever bullshit reason they come up with.
Many police have been openly supportive of fascist movements and helped facilitate Trumps election in the first place. Not to mention most American cops seem to think that the BLM protests were worse then J6. Giving them more weapons and power will only result in more death for the average person. They're a quasi military/state within state force at this point.
The fact that this critism is not taken at face value is insane. Biden is a racist bootlicker in his own right. Democrats will sell the rope to the Republicans that they will use to hang them with.
For years many in Syria have said that WW3 has already begun and is being fought in the middle east. You could very well argue this is the opening stage of World War 3. We're only one misclick, or one civilian airliner being shot down away from even greater catastrophe.
Latin America is just ahead of the curve. In the West we will continue protesting and putting pressure on our politicans like the world did to the West when it supported aparthied South Africa.
Keep pretending as if the rest of the world's opnions don't matter. You will be even more enraged and shocked as the walls continue to come down on this genocide perpetuating government. Netanyahu must go!
Of course not, but Biden admin is panicking because if the Israeli's keep this going eventually the de facto regional war that is going on will become a de jure one.
They are pretty much begging Isreal to not erode any more of their legitimacy in the middle east and globally. It is not working.
"Stop protesting us because 4 planes crashed this year, if anything you should be happy, we are down from our annual 10 crashes per year. Anyone who wants us to have higher training standards is obviously not aware of our rigorous anti crashing policy, it barley happens! "
For sure, conscription in of itself is criminal but like the USA during Vietnam, poor people,ethnic minorities and developmentally disabled men are disproportionately grabbed off the streets and litteraly forced into service.
The men in Moscow and St Petersburg seem to still have avoided such issiues this deep into the war.
Maybe conscription is the wrong word to use, and more like state sponsored cleansing of " undesirables." Certainly helped the state reduce spending on male prison populations....
I mean, America has litteraly killed millions of Muslims in the middle east and invaded Iraq without any actual evidence of WMD's.
Say what you will, but American politicans of various leanings have more or less supported mass slaughter of civilians because their brown and they won't face any serious consequences for those actions.
People get butthurt about the constant use of the word " Nazi " but replace the word " Jew " with " Muslims " in the current American media sphere and you can see how the similarity between those advocating for the " final solution " don't sound all that diffrent then this lot really.
Best I can offer is another withdrawal from Afghanistan tier retreat.
How is it funny? This is true of every war that has ever happened. There is no such thing as unbiased reporting of real time events. Its just the truth.
I agree. I'm a " reddit refugee " so to speak but I think people here are jumping the gun with their expectations. Of course, Lemmy is not brand new but the actual influx of users seems to be pretty recent.
It took years for reddit to really become a more diverse site that actually appealed to a wider demographic then just tech nerds and communists, which from what I can understand is more or less what lemmy was comprised of before the huge uptick in migration here lol.
Anyways I do think people need to cool it with their expectations. More and better moderating tools being needed is in no way limited to just Lemmy either. Mastodon also has problems with admins fucking with whole instances, or just outright disappearing and leaving the ship without a captain.
Its the teething stages of the fediverse. For what its worth, its fucking amazing thats something as decentralized is getting this much play anyways.
The more people that come along and the more diversity in communties will eventually make the fediverse a better and more useful place then reddit was. It will take some time though, and a much large user base. It will come though.
Because they appropriated the words of Malcom X and Martin Luther without ever actually reading what they said about America!
Anarchy is our mother! She cannot be sold! Long live the rebellious souls!
