this. the west is not all chrome and shiny (heh), it jsut oursources its violence to its poorer lackeys.

And every time an actual leftist party succeeds, our media basically unite against it while pretending to accept them.

you're having it so good. here in the periphery of the capitalism we are just putsched whenever a marginally leftist party gets elected, with active help from the department of state.

surely having a low self-esteem is worse. life goes on. why bother over that one single log when you've got all the forest to explore?

good take. the shift began at a point where not only work became more deregulated, but women were pressed to work out of home and accumulate both their jobs and the function of homemaker. you start to fight more for your rights, and men start to believe the neocon "rights for men" mumbo-jumbo.

my boy/girl.

then don't go to war with china. people talk like the chinese would go attacking for no reason.

Is that (homeowner associations with far reaching powers) a thing in the U.S.? I mean, I do consider that the public authorities should press more on issues such as standardizing sidewalks here in Brazil, but here a private association with the power to regulate housekeeping would be outlawed and forcibly closed in the first lawsuit.

ogg vorbis, already mentioned above.

you elect a clown, you get the government of a clown, i've already said that.

i love a country.

work on your self-confidence and self esteem. go check a psychologist.

i'm all for it. let's build concentration camps in the astral plane and lead these untergeister to their second deaths!

while i love guthrie, that machine only kills fascists if it's shoved up their milled ends.

in addition to my native brazilian portuguese, i'm fluent in english and basic to intermediate level in spanish and french. i can understand and speak roughly some german and russian too (started the courses, but never finished). my objective is to someday learn both german and russian up to intermediate level, and then go for some arabic, mandarin, kongo, nheengatu (an old creole language that mixed tupi-guarani and portuguese) and esperanto.

that's a great testimony.

more or less. my grandparents are already dead, but as far as i remember the last one living of them which i had contact with (my mother's mother) was ok with lgbtq+ people (as far as defending their right to marriage) and quite concerned with the rights of disabled, but was somehow racist towards black and indigenous people, and could not stand demonstrations of social movements (i.e. sit-ins from landless workers and squatters, strikes and the like). my parents go about the same, but my mom is much less racist.

now go check out who's got the best rail services around the world. with the possible exception of japan, who's still got some measure of trouble with some of their private operators, nearly all of the rail operators who are consistently good are state owned.

average global-northern leftist elected politician, unfortunately.
