Yes I think it's this one: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B

Smarmy liberal defenders of capital tried to do a media push to criticize it but the authors defended it well.

The THAAD deployment is extremely vulnerable to the drone attacks used by the resistance. It is hard to see this as anything other than bait, a dare, a threat to involve the US even more if the system is destroyed with bombs - which would also kill the people nearby.

Audio nerds have a niche for this, they think (usually incorrectly) that they get better sound quality from dedicated digital media devices than from their phone with a $8 dongle.

But this is good news for you because it means people still make these things! Another commented mentioned Fiio, which is good. You might want to browse around AliExpress, as you will likely find many that are very reasonably priced.

Uh... I am the decider of what I identify as tired unfunny memes. Nothing wrong with that!

Disgusting homophobic rhetoric. Apologize, delete your comment, and leave to do self-criticism.

The dictatorship of the proletarist refers to the reversal of class dynamics in which the working class becomes the ruling class of a country and by necessity oppresses the owner class (e.g. expropriation of factories). It is not literal dictators.

Lemmy was created by communists and the ml instance is administered by them.

The "authoritarian" left is just the framework of every revolution that actually won. There is a very special kind of Western detached romantic chauvinist "left" that believes only in failed and failing pure leftism and tragedy and is shocked and outraged at what it means to win, to establish defenses, to keep a nation or nations running.

There is no liberal left. Liberals are the mainstream political and are by definition conservative under global capitalism.

There is a list of people I have radicalized, actually.

And obviously this is not an echo chamber. Tell people not to vote for a blue team genocider and libs freak out.

Having enough users for a community is important, I agree! I think that with the current size of Lemmy userbases, communities are often more like topic flags than self-sustaining niches.

Though to pick on Reddit, every time mods crack down on bots their subreddits decrease in posts and comments around tenfold. A lot of the engagement is fake. Mostly to boost numbers for financial reasons but they can also serve as a means of controlling behaviors and narratives.

I didn't say I would. Do your best to not make things up. It's better to respond to what I actually say rather than use loaded questions like, "when did you stop beating your wife?"

One of the candidates is a proud member of the administration, her name is even part of it, and she has carried Biden's line this whole time. She is already supporting this genocide and has pledged to continue doing so via support for Israel during it.

The "two-state solution" has always been a comprador-negotiated position to establish Bantustans and the Zionists won't even implement that because they are too bust doing land grabs and genocide.

The only liberatory solution is a single state without apartheid.
