Protest, riot, strike, etc. The government is owned by the robber barons. Aligning healthcare with a profit motive is violence of the highest order and we should respond in kind.

ian@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. argues that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Trump | CNN Politics46·1 year agoI’m baffled that people think we have a democracy in the first place when politicians can be bought and own stock in the companies they regulate.
good bot
I doubt it, unless things get unstable near the election
ian@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade121·1 year agoMatrix is far too slow for what it’s intended to be. I’d certainly like to see E2EE come to Revolt.

ian@lemmy.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Donald Trump shares image of Joe Biden bound and gagged54·1 year agoSee my second paragraph. The same applies for the executive branch elections. We can’t reform this. Direct action is the only solution.

ian@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Given Reddit's fall, what's an alternative to /r/BodyWeightFitness and its Recommended Routine? What bodyweight routine is scientifically valid, updated when needed, and aimed at strength?3·1 year agoI really like Jeff Nippard’s YouTube channel
I’d love to live in a European styled city, but I live in the US. The best option here is a small town.
ian@lemmy.mlto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Donald Trump shares image of Joe Biden bound and gagged7960·1 year agoBiden has funded a genocide and oversees an government which completely sold out to corporate interests, the military industrial complex, and the prison industrial complex. They watched big pharma kill thousands in the opioid epidemic. They bailed out the banks after the great financial crisis, while the middle class was left to die.
Every congress member relies on corporate funding for campaigns. They can literally hold stock in the companies they regulate. Those corporations’ interests are completely opposite of the interests of the working class.
I couldn’t care less if some feckless oaf posts a picture of a US figurehead in such a position.
Heh I went straight from Fedora to Debian. I’m 7 months late to this meme in true Debian fashion.

ian@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Candace Owens’ Ex-Boss Rips Her ‘Antisemitism,’ Shrugged At Anti-Blackness, Sexism And Homophobia31·1 year agoThanks! We’re all human :)
Yeah, I prefer Twitter. I have a suspicion that Mastodon will only get a chance at relevance if something at Twitter pushes people off the platform. Reddit’s 3rd party API ordeal seems to have boosted Lemmy quite a bit, so it shouldn’t take too much, but maybe I’m too optimistic.
I got back on Lemmy for the first time in 6 months and it’s way more active. I’ll be using it more. I tried Mastodon a while ago, but it didn’t stick. I’ll try again.
ian@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Candace Owens’ Ex-Boss Rips Her ‘Antisemitism,’ Shrugged At Anti-Blackness, Sexism And Homophobia4·1 year agoYeah, I was unaware of the controversies around her. I should have double checked before posting; I rescind my statement.
ian@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Candace Owens’ Ex-Boss Rips Her ‘Antisemitism,’ Shrugged At Anti-Blackness, Sexism And Homophobia21·1 year agoGood points, I was unaware of both of those controversies. I honestly expected to have seen something as serious as this pop up in my news feeds, but I generally try to avoid hearing about drama around right-wing propagandists.
The system won’t allow lawmakers that will enact real change
