Everyone who disagrees with me is a bot!

Hmm, could there be some bias that almost every single major country on Earth signed treaties in some capacity with Axis powers? Oh nah, that just must be these two countries. Britain and France would never….
I think that just continuing to state that Trump caused Ukraine to lose will be the most common position taken. It absolves the once Ukraine-supporters of any moral or logical responsibility while simultaneously criticizing Trump more. Liberals aren’t normally known for keeping in mind the circumstances of an event but love to ascribe everything to one specific occurrence.
The Chinese government doesn’t manage such data. WeChat is owned by Tencent so Tencent would be asked. How do you think a private business would concern itself with such a request? They would comply but China is not Tencent nor is Tencent China.
Jacobin is the epitome of the self-assured hipster who has the most insufferable superiority complex there is while simultaneously not knowing a single thing about anything.
Historically that has not been the trend. Prohibition had related issues that could be dealt with, with the hindsight we have now but it you look at it, Prohibition was successful at reducing alcoholism. Secondly, no one said to make it illegal, just to put warnings on it to reduce consumption. Thirdly, there are other ways of reducing consumption besides outright criminalization, like raising taxes on a product significantly or limiting its sales for individuals.
As though voting is a solution at all
It’s not because they believe his lies. It’s because they their own conditions are enriched by upholding a system that extracts profits from the third world through neocolonialism. You should read Settlers by J. Sakai and see how it is.
I’ll maybe take your thoughts on Lenin seriously when you accomplish anything even comparable to what he did. Until then, you can sit around and feel superior over individuals who brought about earth-shattering change created through the correct analysis of the conditions that he saw.
Malcom X said,
“ I don’t think that if I was cornered by any fox or a wolf, that I would have to take a choice between either one. I don’t see any choice between a fox or a wolf. A fox is a fox and a wolf is a wolf—to me. Neither one is the lesser of two evils. Both of them are evil. And Negroes, when they become politically mature, I think will realize that you don’t have to throw the bullets out of your gun just because you have a gun. Likewise you should wait until you have a target and bring that target down. I think when Negroes become really mature, they won’t vote just because they can vote. Sometimes they’ll abstain. Ofttimes in a position of abstaining is as effective in its results as an actual vote, as is proved in the UN. You have those who say “yes,” those who say “no,” and those who abstain. And those who abstain have just as much weight. And probably the most intelligent thing Negroes could do at this juncture would be to abstain and withhold their vote completely and make both the fox and the wolf fight it out among themselves.”
This was true when he said and is true now. Malcom X knows far more about opposition to reactionary politics than you do and he what he said was in no outdated then nor now.

As Lenin said in State and Revolution, “The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class shall represent and repress them in parliament!“
This is no different and only shows the media’s effective advertising that people think otherwise.
Accepting the Democrats support for the genocide of the Palestinian people just because of “voting for the lesser evil”
