Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Does Vietnam accept people with criminal records?

While I wish I could agree with you, there are a lot of us that are stuck here.

Lost souls in a fishbowl, ya know?

I'm disabled. I don't think many countries accept foreign disabled people.

If people want to leave that's fine but somebody needs to put in the work necessary to dismantle the empire from within. "Just leave" is a solution for individuals; not the masses as a whole.

Some of us are too poor to leave anyhow.

Are you implying that the success of a country depends solely on the culture, ideology, and politics of the people in government? Does that makes you too authoritarian to be in America with its empty slogan of democracy, human rights, pluralism, and rule of law? If you think that the living condition of a country does not depend on climate, rich natural resource, stolen cultivated land, strategic trading locations, free Indigenous child slaves in Indian Residential fake schools, free stolen inheritance in fake cultural assimilation of Indigenous children, authoritarian colonial free riding, nor special privilege from global empires, then why do you not go live in a harsh barren wasteland like the Federal Reserve concentration camps that imprisons any First Nations people who demands reparation from European invaders?

You can also live in the moon or Mars where you can prove your ideology that you can magically produce infinite finance for the travel cost and the magical power to make a perfectly habitable land from barren wasteland within one year like what Fukuyama wrote in The End of History about the Soviet states. Besides, the Western people did had the myth that Nazi can operate establish successful settlement in Antarctica and that the Scary Red people have the invitation of the Invisible Hand to rule over lazy Capitalists in Pax Americana.

Why should I? This is my home. Not theirs.

[–] trashxeos@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 20 hours ago

If I could, I would, but I don't have any skills that a local couldn't already do just as well, if not better.

[–] CicadaSpectre@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 21 hours ago

I would if I could, but aside from teaching English (which I have terrible experience with), I don't think I have any labor to offer that would get me a visa or a job there...

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 hours ago

How can I do that? 🙈

It seems hard to find a job in China that isn't teaching english

Europeans themselves are right out, it it needs to be said.

JUST PUT DOWN THE BURGER GIRL!!! YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY ISRAELI!! IF YOU DON'T LEAVE I HOPE THEY KILL YOU!

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

This made me laugh out loud lmao.

I do find it interesting when western leftists get criticized they tend to get hostile even if it's valid criticisms. I try to check my privilege at the door but sometimes I also forget.

[–] ghost_of_faso3@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY ISRAEL

using this to refer to liberals from now on

[–] rentasonder@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

This is a total nonsequitor, but I got the ick watching Taskmaster New Zealand and realizing that all the settler colonies carry a thread of similarity. Like all settler colonies are, in a way, spiritually isr*eli.

I think they're frustrated they got banned from a Hexbear community for making a post attacking Zohran Mamdani.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 3 hours ago

Understandable frustration. Hexbear should know better than to ban criticism of socdems who have already shown that they don't have the backbone not to capitulate to Zionist narratives. Still, the appropriate way to deal with that frustration is not by taking it out on your comrades. I empathize but this post is misguided.

[–] Bart@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 16 hours ago

Is everything alright? Don't know what is going on, but it is maybe wise to log out for the rest of the day.

[–] Maeve@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Thanks. It takes money and a passport.
