If anything they’re getting more tourism after the camps. Obviously now they’ve evolved beyond just housing Salvadorans, but their initial installation made the country a lot safer (at the cost of authoritarianism and unfair policing. Not trying to justify them, but the country is “technically” safer)

Is it so bad to know your multiplication tables? It’s lowk a quality of life thing yknow. imo it’s just a good thing to know so you aren’t entirely reliant on the calculator for an answer.

people don’t realize (and don’t care) there’s an alternative. The point of the reddit app is to make it as easy as possible for someone to access and consume content. I realize it takes literally seconds to set up a lemmy account but it requires way more thinking to interact with this platform than being spoon fed from an algorithm

Yeah it just surprises me that so called capitalists and billionaires would put racism above money. Especially since illegal immigrants are working for basically no pay. Maybe they have an end goal where the disposable work force is entirely black ie return to slavery or close to it

Ahh that makes the comment I was replying to make way more sense. Didn’t fully realize the extent to which Israel is founded on ethnic superiority

Honestly I’m ill-informed on christofascism, where should I read up on it?

I didn’t think the republicans that have control over our relations to Israel would be ardent on fulfilling biblical narratives. I thought they use Christianity as an excuse and a tool to garner support among uneducated protestants. The typical republican lawmaker doesn’t understand or follow Christian scripture

Kind of unrelated but where do you get your point about republicans wanting to deport Jews to Israel? I’ve never thought about it that way. I thought (in very basic terms) both democrats and republicans supported Israel because it’s a strategic location in the middle east and it’s profitable.

Israel is only 75% Jewish 🤷

Obviously they’re trying to be an ethnostate and like to commit genocide. But it’s not like they’re doing that purely bc it’s only one group of people within their borders.

Blackwings feel like writing with a pen it’s absurd. Plus they look great

No shit people were asking if you were tired of drinking soylent. To the average person it sounds damn near psychopathic if you get all your nutritional needs from a drink. Lock in bro

I enjoy the taste of food

Are you a robot perchance? Bro seriously are you fucking with me or smtn. What do you mean you drank so much soylent you lost track of how long you drank it. And it’s like some sort of drug that you just go on and off of?

Like if I was talking about eating pasta and I described it as

I enjoy the taste of Soylent, but eating physical food is extremely compelling to me. I did it for months if not years

everyone is gonna think I’m schizo

Is this shi real 😭 isnt soylent a made up food from a dystopian movie? How do so many people in this thread have experience with soylent

Depends on your feed. rn most people are getting gore lol. Some part of the algorithm got fucked and it looks like liveleak.

Most of the racism I see on ig comedic and self aware. Not that it’s good, but it’s not meant as a far-right agenda pushing racism. More of a “I’m gonna make fun of minorities bc I think it’s funny and I don’t care about politics”

Idk- from by (basic) understanding of capitalism, once the market is saturated you need a spacial fix in order to keep extracting profit.

I think free trade would benefit capitalist economies since it would allow for easier expansion into new markets. Correct me if I’m wrong though cause I don’t know that much about economics and theory behind all this

I’ve never seen anyone take the angle of Trump’s tariff policy being anti-capitalist and I don’t understand why. He’s disrupting free trade which is a foundational aspect of a global capitalist economy, why isn’t his party mad about that?

Also this article was fucking terrible

That’s gonna fuck up your stroke bruh. If you want a seat cushion for a rowing machine a folded towel or a piece of an old yoga mat will do. You can buy more expensive rowing specific seat cushions but it’s lowk not worth it unless you’re spending a serious amount of time on the erg (and are still uncomfortable)
