one of the most surprising things about the slave consciousness was that if you created it with qualities, it would actually have those qualities.

it’s still useless and probably blasphemous, but the only way these things kill us is if we tell them to kill us, which is regrettably what we’re currently doing.

It’s a imperial republic that people like you think is some shining city on a hill.

pointing out that abolitionists fought the civil war and won isn’t gazing at “some shining city on a hill”

but they didn’t win in the 1930s here and we won the civil war before

“the us was always nazi” no the US always had slavers but

there is a difference between “put down a slavers rebellion” and nazi Germany

the US has been somewhat better than autocratic dissent genocides

the propaganda about how the US was always a fascist state is a factual error as well as a propaganda error.

it’s not merely that people need something to believe in, it’s that if you believe the US cannot be steered, you will become increasingly correct.

tired of this shit tbh

the nazis didn’t win here. at least not yet.

their silence today with the atlantic coming forward is extremely embarrassing, along with the nytimes

the feds already have you if you post on lemmy, blusky, or mastodon

if I knew, I wouldn’t ask tbh…

I’m not saying it’s not an improvement but it’s not sufficient, either

Can I ask a different, more difficult question?

Where are people going?

Lemmy Isn’t Quite It? Mastodon is too formal. Blusky is too political.

Lemmy was a clone of Reddit. Not an improvement on it.
