The thing about the common move of "israel and hamas are both bad" is that imo you should always add the qualifier of "But also Hamas is used as a cover and justification for Israeli atrocities, and also likely would be either significantly weakened or not exist at all if it were not for the ongoing genocide of palestinians."

I mean you're presupposing that it's important to convince immigrants to learn the language. Maybe multiculturualism is okay actually

Nah it's gonna get looted and pillaged and generally go to shit but will be saved by the aheer economic power of being one of the few places left on earth with enough farmland to feed billions when the other breadbaskets start getting decimated by ecological collapse

Look blaming the democrats is done not because the republicans aren't to blame, but because blaming them is sort of pointless. It's like blaming terrorists for the shit they do. Yes, it's their fault. Yes, they're morally reprehensible. So what? Are you going to spend time trying to come up with detailed arguments for what they could've done better? No, you look to the material conditions, people, and organizations responsible for fighting them, and for making sure people aren't desperate enough to join them, because their job at least in theory is to do better. I blame the democrats because I believe they could have done better. I do not have even that small grain of hope when it comes to the republicans.

I mean iunno about subs but for instances hexbear is largely known as the tankie instance. For the other kind of extreme leftists, the anarchists seem much more spread out even than they were back on reddit

Okay but ice cars tend to catch fire while running or fueling. EV's are the same, it's just they tend to fuel at home and possibly inside of a flammable structure while completely unnattended. I don't honestly know the actual fire risk of an EV and honestly I doubt there's a lot of good data that can be found with the amount of time i'd be willing to invest, what with EV companies wanting to downplay and any and every oil-related industry wanting to exaggerate.

Fascists are fascists no matter what ideology they espouse

tbh like, have you tried any other social media? lemmy's honestly pretty cool for anarchists comparatively, i suppose except for the fact that it's too small to spend all your tine in explicitly anarchist spaces. Yeah it's not amazing but that's pretty nuch inevitable with any large and relatively diverse group of people
