Depends on your definition of benefitted. If you're definition is just "GDP line goes up" and ignore everything else then I'm sure there's some "success stories"

Good to see the Bolivian Left has successfully iterated on the past failures of third world democratic socialism; keep your base mobilized and militant, the coup will come.

Wednesday’s rebellion followed months of tensions, with economic hardship and protests growing ever stronger as two political titans — Arce and his one-time ally, leftist former President Evo Morales — battled for control of the ruling party.

Still, the apparent attempt to depose the sitting president appeared to lack any meaningful support, and even Arce’s rivals closed ranks to defend democracy and repudiate the uprising.

What's up with this Evo-Arce rivalry? Is this made up or do they have real political differences?

Bowman was/is a member of DSA and a controversial one. The Palestinian solidarity group tried to get him expelled years ago for both funding the iron dome and doing a tour of Israel.

Years later, he's gets primaried by Zionists.

IIRC the US didn't arm the Taliban, but they did fund the Madrassas that taught them. They were arming the Northern Warlords and the Mujhadeen. The Taliban came after the Soviets left and mopped up the infighting warlords as the Taliban was the only group with a coherent ideology.

Anyways minor pedantry for against an already stupid point.

Setting up a custom reverse proxy is time-consuming and requires advanced knowledge of nginx/apache2.

ezpz with Caddy. tailscale + caddy can get this done pretty easily.

Also, not hating on nodejs, but this project screams like it shouldn't be in nodejs. Maybe if there was a webui included that would make sense. Otherwise I'd expect C or Go.

Biden's far too old to have ever seen The West Wing. That's an Obama staffer thing. But he for sure is huffing the same civil religion that Andy Sorkin was cooking.

That's almost certainly a poor black nerd in an all white school. Zero offline socialization. Certainly some low level autism. Not happy with these friends but will endure it over none.

Feel real bad for that guy. He's there because this is the life he was dealt. Fuck all the rest.

I am amused by green shirts drip though. He can stay as a court jester.

Looks like he's already been hit.

Then post articles that say that and not articles that refute your own point. Otherwise you're just being pedantic that no one was killed within the square itself.

But there's no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square, and on the way to it.

Come on.

Its 2059 Nancy Pelosi is 119 but its time for her to finally pass. Before though another must take her place. Its only just if it passes on to a WoC but at 70 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be too young to lead the Progressive Caucus.

In a way they're running the ML playbook to try to purge Lemmy of any leftism. You see the same tactics. Their nuanced rational for on Biden is "yes he's doing genocide but Trump will do more genocide so Critical Support for Biden. And then, of course, silence any criticism of Biden, because that's counter productive to supporting Biden.

It be interesting but its not like a ham radio where you just connect with people. You have to know people in your immediate vicinity willing to do it to establish a trusted network.

I've been told that many women are more scared of "other" or worse "apolitical" because 9/10 its a internet poisoned groyper.

Just put liberal so you won't get filtered out and mention you're socialist or whatever in your bio.

Boxing Day truthers

What the hell is that about? The tsunami?

Its election season and paid troll farms are a thing in the US too. It could also be that they're self organized on some discord or matrix room. Either way they behave identically to shills.

TBF there's a bunch of progressives shredding this obvious bullshit with basic democratic electoral memory but there is obviously a concerted effort to shill for Biden on that comm in particular.

That whole comm is total brain damage. There's like 3-4 power users who come up with the worst DNC memes that are basically just paid trolls. I suspect they make their memes deliberately poorly to get more engagement. And then there's the masses that understand that both candidates are pro-genocide and still think voting is the most important thing.

The nuance meme editor is utterly psychotic.

if she followed proper capitalization rules. the bigger clue is its "the lord" singular not "the lords" plural. plus its the leftwing tradcath liz breunig.
