Not an existential war

well there was the Civil War, and we had elections

but I suppose if some entity controlled 20% of the USA and was hellbent on annhilating the country we might suspend elections

revolution can work, but we're far form the preconditions for it now. revolutions pretty much start when people can't eat

we're still well within the parameters of "show the fuck up and vote"

for more mamdanis and AOCs

all of the voices out there now to not vote and dreaming of cosplaying revolution are either agent provocateur from geopolitical interests or the right to suppress the left vote in the usa, or morons who fall for the con and don't understand shit about their world

@Kerplunk

everybody thought ukraine would fold in feb 2022

that they didn't is a massive credit to the bravery of ukraine

but it also shows "russian might" is a joke

some more pressure and the whole decrepit imperial colonial enterprise will fold

@SteveJB

trump talks tough, but his actions speak louder, and they speak weakness

@riggbeck @roknrol

i hear you

i get grumpy because there's fuckwits out there who seriously gave up on democracy. like they know anything better. they're just self-serving entitled assholes who help to create the problems with democracy by not participating, out of mindless cynicism or toxic idealism

@riggbeck @roknrol

your comment would mean something if you had a better alternative

and the only reason it's failing is because of all the fucking morons who don't vote

Good morning to everyone who searches the web without feeding the monopoly ☺️

you won't find such fans in the vatican anymore

"Vatican ends routine use of Latin in sweeping overhaul"

although i think it's funny their five year plan to give up latin is called an "ad experimentum"

Many of you might have already seen the ultra cute "sea sheep" (Costasiella kuroshimae), but yesterday I learned 2 mind-blowing facts about the family of sea slugs they belong to:

1. They incorporate chloroplasts (the organelles in plant cells that do the actual photosynthesis) of plants they eat, into their own bodies to do photosynthesis directly for them (that is the green colour you see), in order to survive if food is scarce.

Imagine being able to live from light!

'"The focus should be on what kind of concessions we see from the Russian side," High Representative #KajaKallas said'

✅

But #Russia won't accept anything

All #peace pushes will go like this:

1. Russia asks for way more than it can get
2. It gets discussed, which is a joke and a kind of flex on Russia's part
3. Nothing is agreed on, fighting continues

The #UkraineWar will drag on

Until #Europe gives up heart, or Russia enfeebles to a breaking point

@BackFromTheDud @roknrol

sure but the point is curtailing elections during wartime is normal

the details change from war-to-war and country-to-country

but democracies suspending elections during wartime is not bizarre and not strange

if during wwii nazi germany controlled sussex and kent, you probably wouldn't see any elections at all until that was expelled. that's ukraine's situation

@roknrol

here in the #USA the latest #MAGA line is

"we can't support #Ukraine because they don't have #elections"

the #UK didn't have elections in #WWII

because it's fucking #war, morons

i don't understand how #socialMedia shovels such bullshit, and morons obediently adopt the stupid bullshit as their personalities like good little mindless automatons

and it always spreads like wildfire

social media is a #botnet

command and control somewhere remotely programs the minds of right wingers
