MrMakabar@slrpnk.nettoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Some of y'all are not ready to hear this...English91·4 days agoThe Democrats used to be the racist pro slavery party. Then it got captured and turned into Roosevelts New Deal Democrats, which were obviously to the left of the Republicans. Not perfect, but they really did a lot of good.
This can be repeated, but it takes a lot of work.
MrMakabar@slrpnk.netto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Scratch a anti-harm reductionist and a fascist bleedsEnglish6·4 days ago“I hope there is a genocide in the US” usually is a controversial position. So is killing all political opponents.
MrMakabar@slrpnk.netto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites?English6·4 days agoWe are talking about 128million non White Americans and that is not including white Latinos. Just to put it into context the Holocaust killed 6million Jews, the Partition of India moved 12-20million people and created a lot of suffering doing so and somewhat similar numbers in displaced people in Europe after WW2(moving borders and the like). Those are some of the darkest chapters of human history and this would be an order of magnitude large then those.
First of all, doing that would create a massive reaction. We are talking 38% of the US population being deported, so a civil war is very much an option.
The honest answer is that a lot of Americans are very well educated and rather rich. So if they would be allowed to leave, then they would be welcomed by other countries. However we are talking about numbers here, which would compeletly change the housing and job markets here. The locals will not like that and close their countries off. Still a good number would make it. At that point the US has two options: Wage a war to take some land for them or kill them. Taking land would lead to hatred of the Americans including the deported. We are also talking about a massive country here and probably a lot of death. Obviously killing everybody would be even worse. There is also the option of pushing them into say Alaska and make that independent. However that is unlikely.
The US economy would be absolutly destroyed by this. If you deport them quickly, it would lead to shortages. Most certainly shortage of workers, which would indeed push up wages. Housing would end up being cheap and people would move to the best cities of the country. On the international stage the US would be widely hated and probably be hit with sanctions(they deport a lot of people and that causes huge problems for other countries). So long term it might actually be good for white workers. However the rich would hate it, due to it destroying their cheap workforce. Short term the US would have massive shortages and suffer a lot.
Even just deporting a larger part of the non-white population would cause a lot of problems.

MrMakabar@slrpnk.nettoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•what was bro even thinking lmaoEnglish13·9 days agoEpstein seems to have kept photos and videos of his clients to blackmail them. It would be easy to create a list of his “clients” and the government certainly has created such a list, to charge them or at least they should have it or be able to do so easily.
And not just Nashville and not just in the US

MrMakabar@slrpnk.netto politics @lemmy.world•Trump has pushed us to the brink of recession, fascism, and World War IIIEnglish1·11 days agoNope, this is just Europe ordering a lot of weapons from the US for Ukraine and Trump saying some nice things to make it happen.
I do not. I can read or watch movies while riding a train. No chance in a car.
Great 25 minutes of very relaxing work…
MrMakabar@slrpnk.netto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Netanyahu slams army over delay in building Gaza concentration campEnglish2·12 days agoAlligator Auschwitz costs $450million per year to run for only 5000 prisoners. That is $90,000 per prisoner.
MrMakabar@slrpnk.netto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Netanyahu slams army over delay in building Gaza concentration campEnglish7·12 days agoMainly supplying weapons parts to Israel, cracking down on protests and blocking EU sanctions. It is not even close to as bad as what the US is doing, but still not a good look.
MrMakabar@slrpnk.netto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Netanyahu slams army over delay in building Gaza concentration campEnglish4·12 days agoIsraeli officials estimate that building a so-called “humanitarian city” in Rafah could cost between $2.7bn and $4bn
How? It is for half a million people. That is at most $8000 per person.
MrMakabar@slrpnk.netto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Norway’s new K9 VIDAR howitzer meets all expectations as Ukraine war confirms artillery relevanceEnglish4·14 days agoNow the international powers that be are more interested in entering into weapons contracts with Ukraine than they are “stepping back and letting Russia continue the war” (i.e. selling vital electronics components to Russia for their fighterbomber jets?) and the longer Russia continues the war the more they underline how international powers stand far more to gain by working with Ukraine and gaining access to their advanced technology and innovative tactics than they do partnering with Russia and gaining access to outdated equipment, doctrine and armored vehicles that simply cannot protect their crews and passengers period.
Ukraine wants to be part of the EU. So any country wanting such military support from Ukraine would have to be aligned with the EU as well. That was a huge selling point of Russian weapons. Currently China fills that market with decent enough cheap weapon systems. They certainly do not care too much about Russia buying weapons components from them.
