“vaccines good, taxes good”

That is not left, those are the status quo talking points.

It seems our definition of these labels are not similar or close to similar.

 

the post-civilization left

Due Dissidence is a multimedia one-stop shop for left politics and gallows humor in written, audio, and video form.

I do not think we see the world in the same way.

We read and watch different sources and know and look at the different data when it comes to these countries and what is and is not working for the working class.

We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!

During Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent appearance on The Jimmy Dore Show, the topic of Israel came up, and the Democratic presidential candidate expressed a range of perspectives and opinions that could have come straight out of the most pro-Likud Israeli apologist. Now The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal has come on to set the record straight and explain the misrepresentations, half-truths, propaganda and outright lies RFK shared.

Jimmy and The Convo Couch host Craig Jardula go through RFK's statements and ask Max to respond point by point.

I do not provide additional context unless I am feeling generous or if people ask nicely, like IRL.

Especially if additional context can be found with a quick search, most people on Lemmy are tech-savvy enough to own a phone or electronics that are at their fingertips.

If they are truly interested in learning, they can; if not, they can ignore the post and move on with their lives like most of us do.

Thanks for explaining the semantics!

TIL even WIkipedia lists our current wars.

List of wars involving the United States^[[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States#21st-century_wars]

The United States has been involved in 108 military conflicts. These include major conflicts like the American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican–American War, the American Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II and the Gulf War. It also includes US involvement in widespread periods of conflict like the Indian Wars, the Cold War (including the Korean War and the Vietnam War), and the War on Terror (including the Iraq War, the War in Afghanistan, and others).

Four military engagements encompassing three wars, all of which are interventions, currently involve the US: the Yemeni Civil War, the Somali Civil War, and the Syrian Civil War.

21st-century wars (2024):

  1. US intervention in Yemen (2002–present)^[[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_strikes_in_Yemen]
  2. Second US Intervention in the Somali Civil War (2007–present)^[[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_military_intervention_in_Somalia_(2007%E2%80%93present)]
  3. US military intervention in Niger (2013–2024)^[[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_military_intervention_in_Niger]

Challenge your own bias and read or watch her positions on policy; that should alleviate your misunderstandings.

Peace.

Voting for the duopoly will not change the systematic problems our society faces.

Again, she describes herself as being independent left.

This would be to the left of the Democrats.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty -3 points 1 day ago (4 children)

She is a self-described independent left, not just "left" or "left-leaning."

parroting right propaganda

I would double check your politics views and labels.

Briahna Joy Gray is left of Bernie Sanders, nice try smearing people left of you.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty -4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I could say the same thing about the duopoly: all the billions of dollars wasted on career politicians and lobbying while the working class continues to struggle more than ever under the systematic issues our society faces.

All this talk about Trump taking our "democracy away" while you criticize the very same system that enables a democratic republic (for third parties).

That does not seem very democratic or republican of you when any opposition to the duopoly is heavily encouraged, IMO.

Awesome, thanks for informing me and others!

?Biden says in his oval office address, "I'm the first president this century to report to the American people that the United States is not at war anywhere in the world." (The Pentagon announced airstrikes in Yemen earlier today.)
