One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That's 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.

Not saying this account is a bot, but a person would certainly have to be spending a whole lot of time on lemmy to be posting this much in one week so it certainly feels spamish.

Why does every comment you make about Ukraine end up being so Pro-Russia that it feels pro-genocide?

ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE AN ADULT ARTIST OR ENTERTAINER. Last I checked using your PayPal for that is against tos and PayPal has zero scruples about seizing all that cash.

The development for morrowind sounds like it was absolutely wild.

Is this the talking point you Tankies are settling on?

The moment who is waiting for exactly?

When you find yourself having to claim photos of a massacre are photoshop you should take a second and reevaluate your life choices.

There's at least 80,000$ worth of guns in this picture. That's 20,000$ more than the yearly wage of an average American.

40k For the M60

10k For the UZI

10k For the Thompson

10k For the G3

10k For the FAL

That's not counting any licensing fees, shipping, the two guns on the left that I can't tell if they're "cheap" AR15s or expensive military issue rifles, and would be if they bought them for the cheapest bidding price.

TLDR: Mcdonalds and an ice cream machine company are up to some scummy shit to fuck over franchises and customers for more profits.

TLDW: Mcdonalds and the company that makes almost all fast food ice cream machines, Taylor, have had a long time partnership.

Through this partnership, Mcdonalds franchises are only allowed to buy a singular type of Taylor machine. All of Taylor's machines that other chains use work just fine, but the ones Mcdonalds is forced to use through the partnership are basically designed to be shitty. They break all the time, and when it breaks down, the error code doesn't even tell the employees what's wrong, even if it's something simple the employee could fix themselves. It forces the Mcdonalds franchises to get a repair technician from Taylor making them pay assloads of money on repair costs, and these repairs of Mcdonalds' machines account for a massive amount of Taylor's revenue.

Mcdonalds corporate is hurt none in this process, only the franchises, so Mcdonalds Corporate and Taylor stay buddy buddy. Some other company made a third party addition for the Taylor machines that puts out proper error codes that allow employees to fix minor issues on the fly, Mcdonalds has banned their franchises from using these for "safety issues".

I would still suggest watching the video in your spare time though, it's a really fascinating case study of how companies collude to fuck over customers and even their own lesser partners.

Edit: Grammar, Formatting

Socialist Party of America, Socialist Alternative, The Communist Party of the USA, and plenty others have been trying to run left of the Democratic Party for a century, it won't work in a FPTP voting system, converting the Democrats into a Socialist party would literally be easier.

If you want a left wing party other than the Dems, you're gonna have to change FPTP first.

It's happened a few times so far during the war. This time could be bigger than the last depending on how many tanks they brought/how underprepared the Russians are.

Honestly, not really anymore.

Biden has saved socialists from Far-Right Coups

Met with Chilean socialists and had good relations, rather than overthrowing them and putting a neo-Pinochet in charge.

And supporting anarcho-communists in Syria has been the bipartisan concensus of Congress for a decade.

It really seems that the U.S. is growing more accepting of international socialism, as long as it's democratic.

You did see what happened after the kicked Kevin out though right? We all thought Kevin was a horrible pro-maga sleezeball, and yet they found someone worse.

I really don't want to underestimate their ability to do it again.

Yes, the man who has been leading his country in a war for survival and winning is the real clown! /s

I lived in a very rural area back then, I know a friend whose family was all watching that debate together in their living room, all hard-core Trump supporters of course. That debate literally made them so sad they turned off the TV mid debate, it broke my friend free from being a MAGA diehard.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Biden campaign saw something like that reflected in polling, even marginally, and is trying to recreate it.

This person is like 90% of the time, they literally just told me they'd prefer Joseph Stalin to any Democrat.

Wdym the Western aid is restricted from counterattacking? Nothing about that is true, U.S. aid is being held up solely by the Republicans, and European aid is continuing mostly as normal. None of Ukraine's counteroffensives have ever led to a decrease in aid, only an increase.

Yes, hopefully in the section on how he, possibly the worst president in U.S. history, tried to destroy American democracy.

Just because that picture looks "strong" doesn't mean he'll be remembered that way.

The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

I've always felt that's just pragmatism from Bernie,

If you read his book "It's Okay to Be Angry About Capitalism" it becomes very very obvious that this is the case. From quoting very radical anti-capitalists to tongue and cheek (somewhat) insider jokes such as naming the chapter on his time in mayoral politics "Socialism in one City", it shows he's definitely way more ideologically aligned with socialism than people give him credit for.
