  • The fact they are in contention after 4y is evidence enough they mean jack shit for either side. Once they are codified into law they lose value in attracting single issue voters like you. I reiterate, from the outside looking in, same same. There’s a reason even though AOC saw good congressional results personally, her district swung wildly red for the presidential results. I just can’t wrap my head around backstabbing Bernie to nominate a female Kissinger for an election and 8y later you’re still paying the price. There’s no left in the US, just far right and further right…












  • I’d be reluctant to trust an outlet that has a story about a CIA conspiracy to promote homosexuality on the same page as OP’s titular post. Sadly, lemmy (like reddit) in general, for now, has a pretty low standard when it comes to linked news. That said, the Zionist lobby is very much a real, documented and registered (with lobbyists and think tanks) phenomenon of the anglosphere. The media bias in favour of Israel (in direct contrast to what’s happening in E Europe) is very much a product of the fact that Israel is one of the last bastions of western colonialism and a very useful lightning rod for antagonists in the surrounding countries which allows shipping through the suez canal to be mostly left alone.






  • As much as I respect that stance I really think people are being trained into this nothing burger by the media. Who cares if they ask for an account? Like, some middle management at sony wants to pump numbers and people need to give an email address. I truly don’t understand what’s the big deal, granted, I don’t buy sony games on PC so I don’t have a horse in the race. Like, I can’t play Apex or Destiny on Linux because “safety” (lol, hackerman intensifies) but the media’s race is bashing a PSN account for “reasons” when we’re being forced to use a spyware OS that enforces its monopoly at every turn? Like, it says on the blurb that a PSN account is needed, don’t buy the game if that’s not kosher, vote with the wallet. I truly am amazed at how the media shifts the narrative away from the actual relevant issues and people just fall for it.
