One could argue that the Church had been extremely efficient at manufacturing consent for centuries. It was still the case for most of French society in the late 1780s. It also led to a civil war between Revolutionaries and traditionalists (including peasants).
Yet if you keep the comparison until present times, you can only acknowledge the fact that the French once again rioted very violently and for months back in 2018-20. The “yellow vests” were mostly lower-income workers from far away suburbs and villages. Facebook let them organize and have a real impact on national politics and policy.
The USA would still be a native american land if millions of people had not been wiped out by Europeans
You guys are so screwed, I am sorry for you, sincerely
Thanks for the effort. I have had links to article from reputable news organizations removed out ou nowhere…
Also, all conversations about the Mangione manifesto bring removes by mods of big Lemmy communities
But this is Lemmy. I thought this place allowed people to exchange about important topics.
Tons of ride sharing apps out there, you should check them out!
I fail successfully every other day, it’s like I was raised that way
Reminds me of this heartbreaking testimony of an Ukrainian woman from Eats Ukraine who wears nice underwear everyday, so that rescuers don’t think ill of her while trying to resuscitate her after a Russian missile attack
Absolutely right. The aim at large was to free the masses from the grip of modern capitalism. The actual targets were mostly unlucky blokes.
Yeah, I think the saying goes “every American man feels like a temporarily embarrassed billionnaire”
It happened in Europe during the “years of lead”, mostly in Italia, France and Germany.
And that’s how you get fascism!
Edit: from the backlash, I guess my contribution was misunderstood :-/. I meant that the top trying to hold on to its power against an increasly conscious base is how you get fascism. I’ll try to make myself clearer next time
OK, great thanks!
Not techy, can’t understand how this works.
These eruptions can eject more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of material into the atmosphere Sounds like a good way of rapidly decreasing global temperatures!
How does it work when the diplomat / head of state has been sentenced by an international court for war crimes or crimes against humanity?
Yep, I wonder what would happen in the US if gas was suddenly taxed 50% up (much more than the yellow vests case, but it is a thought exercise)
