Wait, am I meant to feel upset that people are embracing the moniker of socialist?
I think Bart is supposed to be the* DNC / establishment dems, and Homer is DSA / progressives
The taboo on the word is still pretty strong in several areas of the country so, many people would like you to feel upset by it. Progress and education are two of the only nonviolent ways to change this
What McCarthyism does to a mf
For most Americans- Marxism=communism=socialism=authoritarianism.
Those same morons pine to return to the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s where we had FDRs socialist policies.
There are a lot of eastern Europeans and Slavs who also have this problem.
I think it’s prime time to take the word back. Memes like Fox listing out all the things the “socialists” want and… for the most part, it’s stuff we actually do want and people in general want… yeah, let’s take that word back. We need social safety nets.
Most of those guys are aging out. That’s what the stats show on generational polling.
Maybe they shouldn’t have labelled anything the government does which helps its people as socialism if they don’t want the people to be pro-socialism.
Oh wow, that took a long time to federate. 2 days later and I’ve only just seen your comment. Wonder if it’s my instance being slow, the distance, or your instance being slow
There were problems with federation but I thought they got solved when it got multithreaded, unless your instance never enabled that.
We’re currently trying to increase our bandwidth and throughput, so it might be as simple as that. Impossible for me to tell anything specific about our setup. I’m not that technically savvy
IIRC the way federation works, a server sends a message and then waits for an acknowledgement before sending another one. So a 250ms round trip time to Australia means a hard limit of 4 messages per second no matter how fast the internet link is.
We had a lot of trouble with lemmy.world a while back because they were just plain generating more messages than they could send us so we were lagging further and further behind.
Lemmy can have multiple simultaneous connections between servers now to get around the latency throughput limit, but that might be something server admins need to configure.
Unless you are a fascist bootlicker there is no reason to be upset by this.
If the Republicans could nazify their voting base then its time for Democrats to move further to the left.
I’m not sure I believe it’s that high.
But I hope it is.
It started as a small ripple in New York and hopefully it will become an unstoppable tsunami that will cover the entire country.
As the old german saying goes and is lovely sung: WER HAT UNS VERRATEN, SOZIAL DEMOKRATEN! (WHO BETRAILED US? SOCIAL DEMOCRATS!)
That is meant figurtifly and real. They voted for ww1, after the workers overthrew the monarchy, they shot the revoltees and sabotaged any effort for real peoples democracy and even today they are throwing the workers under the bus!
ysk social democrats and democratic socialists are two different groups of people that disagree with each other on fundamental levels, this post is refering to the later.
Yeah i misread it. Disexia struct again
Is Bart supposed to be the establishment dems? If so, fuck them, no sympathy. Poor use of a meme, but I still upvote it because reasons.
Is bart the conservatives or the democrats or the centrists?
