Arguably true. Please post actual memes next time, OP.

I admin lemmy.ml for 0 Biden/Putler/Xi bux per month. I got into it by doing a little posting, until the admins asked me if I wanted to waste even more of my free time, which I foolishly did.

I’ve posted this 2014 BBC article about the study before: Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy

It’s not exactly news to some of us.

• “Bourgeois Democracy”: What Do Marxists Mean By This Term?

The super-profits stopped going to working class boomers a long time ago now, except for some who are still on fat pensions or who didn’t get fucked by the 2008 crash and continued to manage their investment portfolio well and didn’t get wrecked by medical costs.

The profits are going to fewer & fewer as companies get more & more consolidated, and as our neocolonialism begins to falter along with our global hegemony. Even the lower end of the petit bourgeois are feeling economic precarity nowadays: The Nation, 2017: Trumpism: It’s Coming From the Suburbs

Working class boomers lived in a unique moment in world history, which will almost certainly never recur, but they didn’t know it and still don’t. That unique moment was post-WWII America, when the rest of the industrial world was destroyed by war, the New Deal/Keynesianism/US labor militancy had not been completely crushed yet, and the socialist alternative to capitalism in the Soviet Union was looking like a viable alternative to capitalism still. These factors, combined with US colonialism/neocolonialism allowed the US working class to have super-profits never seen before or since, but the Boomers assumed that this was and would always be the new normal.

I’m not sure which bootlickers you mean—the politicians? Many of them are wealthy in their own right, and almost all of them rely on wealthy donors to get into office and to hold it. It’s one big club, and we ain’t in it. [Princeton] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy

This isn’t a recent development; it has ever been so. “Bourgeois Democracy”: What Do Marxists Mean By This Term?

I’ll never really know how much the US’ complicity in genocide factored in to the decision.

Our capitalist class and their bought politicians are sitting with our profits in their Scrooge McDuck swimming pools.

I’m not optimistic that that will happen under the next Biden or Trump administration. US corporate media avoid mentioning China’s HSR, but they can’t keep things under the rug forever.

Did you think I wouldn’t notice you creating alt account dvb@lemmy.world today for the express purpose of following me around and downvoting? I guess I really hit a nerve. How embarrassingly petty.

Good question; it’s not my place to answer. @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone, @tmpod@lemmy.pt, @Cloak@lemmy.ml?

How to install Libreboot in 2024?

That’s an oddly specific question. When else but now? Did you arrive by time machine?

Barcelona is a diverse economic engine; it’s not a tourism monocrop town. It doesn’t need your patronage.

And now you’re pointing us to CIApedia. This imperial core bingo card will get filled up in no time. What’s next, Bell¿ngcat?

Both have historically not been cared about by whom? The BDS movement is almost twenty years old. The UN General Assembly has been continually reaffirming the Palestinian people’s right to armed struggle against their oppressors over 50 years. Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish American son of two Holocaust survivors, has been writing about this ever since his doctoral thesis in 1988.
