There are a bunch of sicko neoliberals and insufferable redditors there, yes, but there are also some normal libs and a few comrades, and it seems like a good way to encourage lemmy generally to re-embrace leftism.

I've been using an alt to talk on there and it's honestly not that bad. It's a little bad, but not that bad. I think if we just try to patiently explain ourselves, we have a reasonable chance of reaching people and shifting the general political alignment.

Those of us who aren't up to dealing with ghouls (I am frequently included in this group) can just stay at home here and that's just fine.

Anyway, just an idea. I would appreciate feedback.

    Would it be OK, in your opinion, to have a Spanish-only speaker to public office?

    Yes, in fact most of the southwest should be returned to Mexico or handed over to the indigenous nations who survived the genocide

    Also your analogy is based on a faulty premise, bilingualism wasn't an issue in Ukraine until neo-nazis couped the democratically elected government in 2014 and activity waged war against Russian speakers who objected to that crime

    I would be so surprised if the US has any say in this matter

    You think the state that has rebuilt the Ukrainian military at least four times, while managing and coordinating the entire Ukrainian intelligence and communications services has no say is Ukrainian politics? I mean, obviously you know better, but it's still funny watching people like you claim to have no knowledge or understanding of concepts like "power" or "leverage" lmao
