Pure fucking market manipulation.
At this point I kind of hope China goes nuclear and implements a complete import and export ban with the United States. China has the social infrastructure inplace and debt head room to borrow their way out of any kind of financial crisis. The United States does not.
If you count humans as animals then cocaine and clothing from companies like Temu and Shein aren’t vegan.
Cocaine manufacturing and distribution is full of human exploitation and suffering. Using it should go against the vegan ethos of avoiding consumption of things that are the product of exploitation. Similar to honey, milk, or eggs.
Similarly, Shien and Temu make nearly all of their products using slave labor in terrible working conditions using dangerous chemicals without any precautions.
We get it, that wasn’t enough for people like you so you help elect Trump and now you’ve got the genocide you really wanted.
Lol, the dude said he’s hopeful that the Trump administration would do more work to break up big tech monopolies based on the record of one of his appointees. Now you reactionary lemmings are jerking each other off over who can call Proton a Nazi organization the fastest.
Oh look a bunch of people from hexbear astroturfing. We get it, you folks are all boned up about Trump and are stoked for this genocide. No need to pretend like your aggressive campaigning for Trump wasn’t hugely successful.
The question isn’t “what would Harris have done differently”, we have no idea what she would have done here, but we do know that she publicly advocated for restraint and a two state solution. Trump is publicly advocating for this final solution.
The question you should be asking is “All things being equal on this issue, which candidate is better on the other important issues”? You asked yourselves this and decided that Trump was better on LGBTQ rights, minority rights, freedom of press and speech, labor rights, health care, the economy, the environment, and everything else.
Congratulations tankies, you got your widespread unrestrained genocide.
Unfortunately the right has spent an incredible amount time and money making LGBTQ, DEI, and other “woke” issues the focus of the conversation around progressive politics. It’s gotten to the point where anyone who supports broad application of civil rights has to spend all of their time and energy defending that support leaving no time or energy to pronote their economic policies like improved working conditions, better healthcare, or accessible child care.
It’s a flood the zone strategy that has worked incredibly well. Particularly in purple districts where Democratic representatives that barely won thier districts see no path to reelection if they continue to support “woke” issues.
They’re at the point where it’s abandon some social issues and get reelected so they can champion economic issues, or continue to support social issues and lose their seat to a Republican who won’t do either. Unfortunately in the real world their are people that have different opinions than ours and so elected officials have to pick their battles.
This is a serious blow for the Wagner group but a major win for Russia and Vladimir Putin.
Public transportation and walkable cities are much better for the elderly and disabled who often can’t drive due to their age and disability?
Taking a wheel chair or mobility scooter or be guided by your service dog are all subsets of “walk there”.
No, voting for Trump was, that’s what Lemmy told me. I’m really glad you guys campaigned for Trump so aggressively. Things are so much better for Gazans, Transgender folks, immigrants, Ukrainians, women, everyone really.
Thank you so much for teaching the Democrats a lesaon.
Hamas has done a great job protecting Gazans so far.
Colloborators will not be forgiven.
Way to stop the genocide, great job!
Who or what are you planning on having sex with?
No. Biden refused to listen to 10% of his base in the hopes of keeping the 90% happy. That 10% decided they’d “hold Biden accountable” by supporting Republican flavored genocide, because reasons. Congratulations, I’m sure Biden really learned his lesson.
I don’t know why Biden didn’t just go full dictator like Trump. Dictators that do the thing I want are actually good and there’s absolutely no possible repercussions.
What percentage of the American population are progressive? Please provide a reliable source for your information. And please don’t provide something nebulous and without meaning like “75% of Americans support random progressive policy”. Those polls show aggrement with a policy, not a desire to change current policy.
