Bruh Is there any politician elected in the last 20 years that you like?

And what the fuck is even your idea of improving this godforsaken country? Armed revolution? Or peaceful nonviolent revolution because nobody is subhuman and deserves to die, and armed revolution would make you a genocidal maniac

Seriously? One of the most leftist politicians of our time just won the mayorship of new York city and the instant response is to infight? Does this guy also hate Bernie?

The reason it blew up so big was because it was headed to Hawaii, and had 38,000 gallons of fuel on board, basically a full load. That much jet fuel then burned, making the fireball.

How is this downhill?

Everything I’ve seen about him has been great so far tbh

Terrafirmacraft and Gregtech do actually have modern 1.20.1 versions! I am currently actually playing a modpack with some friends called Terrafirmagreg, which as the name implies is tfc and Gregtech integrated, along with a bunch of other QOL and add-ons. It is a very fun, and very very long pack.

Edit: I believe there is a 1.7 version of the pack as well

Lesser evil politics without pushing for better candidates and also doing community building gets you fascism. Just voting for the lesser evil and calling it a day is technically better than voting for the fascist, but not a whole lot as it lets the status quo slip.

Also, what the fuck else are you supposed to do? Be accelerationist and vote for the fascism? Just refuse to participate and and let whatever happens happen? Both of those sound like ways to also get fascism.

I mean some of them legit do (cough Fetterman), and a lot just don’t particularly care about stopping it, but that’s beside the point, I know the kind of people you’re actually talking about. There is still value in electing the lesser evil, and pushing to get better and more progressive Dems in office (that are usually better at pushing back against fascism anyways)

Yeah, he’s pretty prevalent on !progressivepolitics@lemmy.world, I argue with him a lot there. Particularly in his posts of random shit BadEmpanada says. It’s sometimes fun but usually annoying.

I mean there was some guy at a military event (a YouTuber or smthn I think?) that literally did the helldivers recruiting intro but replaced it with marines

I have a couple Minecraft servers using pterodactyl :3

I probably will self host a lot more when I have my own place and money tho

Watched the first half of the video, then got bored and annoyed enough to comment

Okay so I guess I kinda get where he’s coming from, in that people in American politics care about the state of america, and less about other countries (Afghanistan/Iraq in this case), but he is kinda taking it to the extreme and exaggerating the actual opinions people have on the value of the lives of people in other countries.

The thing I really don’t get at all in the video is him calling better welfare and healthcare for Americans ‘treats’, and that Americans will ‘do anything for their treats’. Like, is wanting to help our own people bad now? Is getting universal healthcare, a better social safety net, things that are standard in the rest of the developed world and Europe, just optional treats? Maybe we should also care about the Americans America has fucked over too, if we care so much about the value of every life.

I think he also just overstates how much platner and vets in general are mass murders and revel in the blood, and for a decent amount of the video all he was doing was pointing at platner being in the military and calling him a mass murdering psychopath in various ways. That’s a harder/longer argument I don’t have time for rn tho

Putting Hasan on that thumbnail as an “American supremacist progressive” is kinda wild tbh

Depends on the person, a lot of people justify it to themselves that they won’t necessarily have to kill anyone. Recruiters also obviously don’t always tell people the truth of what they will actually be doing and just want you to sign on.

There also legitimately is a lot more to the military than being a front-line trigger puller, there is a massive supply, maintenance, etc. system that employs people with practically zero chance of them ever having to kill someone.

Tbh I have personally considered joining in such a role (particularly aircraft maintenance) but decided to pursue a civilian career.

The thing is, oil is an incredible resource with properties unlike any other, so we should stop fucking burning it

If all we we use oil for is solvents and lubrication and such, it would probably be perfectly fine, and we would have enough for centuries.

Is hedonism just getting dopamine?

No shit lol, the people who chart it aren’t getting paid!

And we all love you for it :3

Both, tbh

I mean, I wouldn’t put it past them to try it. Might not be legal or tradition, but since when has that stopped them
