A Fatwa is just a legal ruling through Islamic law (the major form of law in Iran) by a qualified religious scholar (a mufti). Basically they officially recognized Trump and Netanyahu as the enemy and like, no shit, they bombed them. This feels alarmist and as if it is playing on islamaphobic ignorance. We declare people enemies of the state all the time but thats not “inciting terrorism”
You should block a lot of people and communities, it helps with the ai nonsense. As for the radicalism, Lemmy was developed by communists. It is a niche free open source semi-decentralized platform that is free of ads. It’s gonna attract the type of people who have a lot of problems with capitalism. Radical leftists didn’t come here to radicalize people, they were here first. If it isn’t for you then it isn’t for you but as one of those radical leftists I do encourage you to give our world-view a fair glance. Read the manifesto or watch a youtuber like secondthought. Maybe listen to a speech from Parenti. It changed my life permenantly and it could do the same for you.
Unfortunately America is relevant to most of the world rn. Wish it wasn’t though
Cornhub use to be a site that looked identical to pornhub but only had videos of corn.
Damn, crazy how cheap meat can get
My roomate got 40 chicken nuggets for 10 dollars. Still seems like an alright deal to me but I don’t eat fast food much so I don’t really know what is a good price
Edit: just saw kolanaki’s comment wtf
Inventing Reality by Michael Parenti covers this topic quite well. (Or so I am told I have not gotten around to reading it yet)
Same lol, I also remembered this post and searched their profile for it
Wired headphones stay winning
This study is conducted using the Pew research American Trends Panel which is roughly 10,000 people around the US. Invitation is sent by mail. From this pool they randomly select participants for the study. While this panel is meant to be representative we must ask ourselves what kind of person is signing up for the Pew research American Trends Panel. Especially because invitation sent through physical mail. Full info in case I misread something
For this study, we surveyed U.S. adults on our nationally representative American Trends Panel (ATP). We verified their turnout using commercial voter files that aggregate publicly available official state turnout records. The first analysis of validated voters was completed after the 2016 election. Turnout was validated for subsequent elections in 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024. Each state and the District of Columbia compiles these publicly available turnout records as part of their routine election administration.
To validate 2024 election turnout, we attempted to match adult citizens who are part of the ATP to a turnout record in at least one of three commercial voter files: one that serves conservative and Republican organizations and campaigns, one that serves progressive and Democratic organizations and campaigns, and one that is nonpartisan.
A member of the ATP is considered a validated voter for a given election if they:
Told us they voted, and
Were recorded as having voted in at least one of the three commercial voter files.
Those who said they did not vote in an election are considered nonvoters. Nonvoters also include anyone – regardless of their self-reported vote – for whom we could not locate a voting record in any of the three commercial voter files. Those who could not be matched were also considered nonvoters. Overall, 94% of panelists who we attempted to match were successfully matched to at least one of the three voter files.
The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other factors. For benchmarks of partisan affiliation within racial and ethnic categories, we used estimates produced by the Center’s 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study of more than 36,000 adults. In addition, this survey is weighted to benchmarks for voter turnout and presidential vote preference.
Year of the linux desktop for sure
LINE GO DOWN
The french revolution, atleast the one you are referring to, was a bourgeois revolution and decidedly not socialist. It was the rising merchant class overthrowing the feudal class structures that held back their ability to obtain capital. It was not the proletariat overthrowing the capitalist class structures which hold us back. If you try and take property from the rich they will kill you for it. This has been endlessly proven throughout history, every workers revolution has a violent counter revolution from the bourgeois. Will you roll over and take it? Or will you defend yourself and the revolution?
Says the moth meme poster
Shit I will amend that. Forgot he won the democratic primary. He is still heavily associated with DSA though and this is well known.
“Socialism” lol
It is a win though, it shows people are willing to vote for change through alternative parties and thats fucking huge
So we turn to the Swedes, who you’d expect to be all over a penis if one presented itself in Lane 3.
??? What does this author know that I don’t
Death to America does not mean death to Americans and the Iranian people know this. They are much kinder to us than we often are to them.
