The price of Bahn Mi is about to go up

What a cool country!

Oops, All Taliban!™️

Make sure they don’t…

That’s old wisdom right there. God - it’s been so long since I thought about the rules…

If we could avoid another “oops, all Taliban” outcome though, that would be grand.

It stands to reason the lining up process was all that was keeping him alive… I know that we have our own political assassinations in the West but this whole affair is still wild.

Exactly. It’s insane we need to remember details like this but here we are.

It might have evolved, but Mussolini’s fascists initially made their money being hired thugs for the wealthy and industrialists who wanted to directly attack and scupper organising workers.

Similar in Nazi Germany with the Brownshirts iirc.

I guess under Neoliberalism you can kind of just skip the street gangs and use cops to attack unionists, so it’s a different set of material conditions these days but the patterns are there.

They’re Liberals wearing red at this point…

Fascists 🤝 Capitalists

At least for the first stage of the tumour.

Only if your metrics are completely broken. This is just plain old fashioned transphobia and culture war copium - nothing straight about it.

…

Jesus, that’s a bit rough. I mean, the death stuff - why say that? I understand you’re being hyperbolic but - again - why put that out there? Noone deserves to die for riding through traffic, what a thing to say…

The amount of coal rolling cope going on here is kind of wild… first time seeing people culture-war mad on Lemmy. Kill your darlings, I guess.

That’s the joy of a good coffee culture and a decent minimum wage - most are!

…are you serious? Trump pulled them out

Or drilling oil

Yeah, God, that’s a difficult position to be put in.

Sorry man - you shouldn’t have to make choices like that… if you do have to take it, I’d try to ease my concious by redirecting their money. Like, I did that when I had to work for a for-profit contract company staffing Australias social services. KPIs for welfare phone lines staffed by undertrained whoevers. They’d penalise us for taking the time to help vulnerable people. Disgusting company - left the second I could afford to. I put something aside for local mutual aids and environmental groups.

God man - I’m sorry, that just sucks.

Good luck. Hope you can avoid Raytheon.

Nah - the ABC was pretty big on its twitter integration. We had a few long running, decade+ old forum-style shows where people could/would tweet in live to be part of the program.

This is a big thing for Aunty, in terms of its culture.
