I use XFCE for it’s philosophy of modular being better.

This is how you protest.
Clickbait.
And the most annoying type of clickbait is, I’m not sure what their official names are, but I’ll call them smudge dots.
It’s those little red dots Android/iOS puts on apps whose function is to get you to click on their apps so that you must use the apps the way they want you to, just so that you can remove the smudge off your phone which they’ll add back anyway.
It’s what prevented me from returning to these OSes at all cost.

The only thing that’s stopping communism from being spread out to the rest of the world is that the US via it’s allies (mostly Republican Chinese) still leads in tech.
That would be a coincidence since Bitcoin was created by a single college kid.
But I’ve seen SN’s website a few years before 2022 when I figured out his identity and Putin knowing his identity would not be surprising considering what was on his main page.What stuff is being said about in the Epstein files?

US protesters need to better organize.
I don’t know, but what I **can **tell you is that
I have noticed that there had been an awful lot of Iranian in European media in Europe flying pro-monarchy flags and by awful lot, I mean all protests in at least four Western countries outside of Iran, and that it’s presented by EU media as normal or semi-normal when it should not be.
We live in the 21st century, not the middle ages or renaissance times.
Then, there’s ‘the Iranian flag replacement on X’ by Elon Musk.
I guess he likes seeing the return of monarchies too.
folaht@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Caitlin Johnstone: "Why Don't You Criticize Iran??"4·14 days agoTrue, but saying “Why on earth would I support monarchism?”
is a lot quicker than six paragraphs about the workings of the US empire.

I am in favor of theojudicial “no kings” above monarchic “pro-kings”.
Disagree.
Beavis and Butthead or Dumb and Dumber were both entertainment similar to Idiocracy.
All intended to make the insecure about their own intelligence feel smart about themselves.But like Idiocracy, I don’t see Sagan challenging a broken system. Not politically nor cosmologically, which he could have for both.

This child turned 5 in detention & has spent almost 20% of her life jailed along with 4 of her siblings11·15 days agoThe EU is doing worse. Our leaders are just serfs to the empire who will defend the China-Taipei with their lives, a civil war seperatist region of China, but will yield Greenland to the US without much of a fight.
It’s pathetic and this self-humiliation pride will be the fall of our government systems sooner than that of the US.
The wealth of the EU economy depends most on the German auto industry and our politicians have abandoned them while favoring Tesla that few can afford while the rest of the EU population keeps buying more and more “Volvos” and “MGs” in order to sooth and delude themselves that they’re still buying European brands.

Like the other poster said, Roma and Syrian refugees are not put into cages and we do not round them up. They get care.

EU nations do not have a two-party system and other parties know better that fascists should not be given power even if they win elections, which is what’s been happening, unless they can form a majority coalition of fascist parties, which will be much harder to do for them.
-
No. We are still serfs to the US. In fact, I don’t trust some of the Syrian refugees, since I’ve seen the Iranian ones flying King-flags at rallies recently.
-
I’m not sure about the poster, but you are right about the ‘not doing better’ part, but the situation here is different. We’re going to economically fall apart soon thanks to the unwaivering serfdom to the US by our politicians, yet we are simply too close to China and to a lesser degree Russia not to be influenced by their economic and military might and it’s a matter of time before we’ll see a reverse iron curtain fall here.

The theojudicial government of Iran is fighting a pro-monarchy insurrection.

folaht@lemmy.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•“This Is Not America” Is the Most Dangerous Lie We Keep Telling Ourselves1·17 days agoThe idea that large-scale state violence and repression are foreign to US soil is a dangerous fiction.
Large-scale state violence and repression is more Anglo-American than apple pie.
And the article is still racial and xenophobic as it doesn’t understand the situation in Afghanistan, Iran or China.
Each of these countries have had to deal with movements equal to the Jan 6ers,
a group of radical anti-democratic people that wants to take their country a step backwards from the current one,
except in their countries, these groups are more emboldened by US monetary support and therefore more violent.What’s happening in Iran for example are “pro-king” rallies instead of “no-king” rallies,
so the protesters in Iran fly directly into the face of what Minneapolis protesters stand for
and it’s the Iranian people and their government that is fighting back against these monarchists.
US always has a way with words
