    If I had to guess on allies I would point to the coalition of Western European countries who routinely join US imperialist wars like the “war on terror” in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Id say the military industrial complex is a murderous power structure. If you want specifics look at the Pentagon, CIA, and various “defense” contractors such as Raytheon, Palantir, and so on.

    IMO the path to stop it is something like anarcho- communism which you can start doing in your own neighborhood by forming collectives.


  • White people and white culture are in positions of power. It is their foot on peoples’ necks, quite literally.

    If every other time I turned on my TV there was a different ethnicity doing this i would call them out, but that isn’t what’s happening and to somehow act like racism within the black community is part of the reason the black community keeps suffering from white racism is just distasteful to me.

    I don’t think that’s what you are trying to say but it is certainly adjacent to position and I’ve heard many white folks argue that or similar, but don’t worry its okay because they have “black friends” TM.

    Just call a spade a spade.


  • My issue isn’t with white people, my issue is everytime someone accurately identifies an issue, there is always someone in the comments with the “its not all X…” except 95% of the people are not saying its all of them. It’s a distraction.

    Your comment proves exactly what im getting at you got so upset that I suggested white people have some issue that you didnt stop to question if you even understood what I was saying. Im not saying white people are inherently bad at birth. I never even said anything close to that.

    We need to be able to say democrats have a genocide issue. Full stop.

    White people have a racism problem. Full stop.

    Cops have an accountability problem. Full stop.

    Politicians have a lobbying issue. Full stop.










  • I love how the top comment is about non existent tankies in this thread and everyone just joins in the circlejerk. Can yall get an anti-tankie circle jerk instance or even a sub going and satisfy your urge to self-fallate there?

    So an opposition leader is poisoned in an authoritarian state which has not even pretended to be socialist in checks watch more than 30 years and I should be concerned about tankies in the comments.

    Anyways how’s that userbase growth going lemmy? Surely could not be related.

    I also do not like store bought sourdough.

    The trick is to check the ones you’ve bought at the store if the ingredients list is longer than flour, water, and salt then its likely somebody playing a marketing trick.

    I can tell you in the US, I have never found real bread at the store other than two artisan bakeries. Several bakeries are just pastries or other sweet treats with a few loaves made using instant yeast and modern wheat.

    This is the recipe I’ve been using lately. It can take awhile being patient enough to get the starter/ levian going and I definitely recommend overnight cold proofing.

    But once I started to eat this, it changed my whole perspective. I can just put some good olive oil on it then it is a filling snack or light meal. Never been able to do that with other breads.

    I now understand how most of the world survived on bread throughout history. They were making and eating real bread and not the gimmick sold by big businesses.




  • Most of my friends killed themselves. I also thought that I was a waste of space. I went into debt to move across the country and figured if i couldn’t put anything together, I’d off myself more quietly away from family.

    Then I got a boss that actually valued my outside opinion. I got internal promotion and leveraged that job into a couple of strategic lateral movements. Now people lookup to me. It’s weird. Recently I got a public honorable mention from Google. All this is cause I’m an asshole who refused to let the world near where I grew up, dictate what I should and shouldn’t do.

    Did I solve the fact that I tied my value to my contributions to society? No. But it turns out society is much bigger than the place I started and other cultures and societies think im useful. I still don’t fit in and it’s still lonely af. (I wish my friends were here so bad).

    All that to say,they may not value you today but that reflects more about them than you. Today, I find great solace in reading books and learning ideas from people born hundreds or even thousands of years before I was born.

    Don’t give up. You may be helping a future version of someone like me or like yourself.
