Stop by the news megathread sometime and see/ask for yourself. You probably won't agree with a lot of stuff (and even that's partly cause there's layers of irony caked onto the walls), but it's not quite as bad as you think.
The narrative changed about 10 years ago to "well it's happening, but humans can't do anything about it, it's a natural process". No real difference, but it puts a bit more smoke and mirrors up for the rubes who believe that sort of thing since it sounds a bit less wrong.
Interesting that you can tell where someone's political development kinda "paused" based on this. A dork who thinks climate change isn't happening is a full 10 years behind their fellow dorks.
I'm more annoyed with the people who reply to this low-effort garbage
Thomas Sankara is a leader that many on the left look up to for being non-corrupt. There very wellay be something I'm not aware of, though.
I don't think Lenin was ever considered "corrupt", even if one doesn't agree with his political decisions.
I think they said that they specifically don't want to tank the local economy, just the tourism sector.
A large tourism sector can be a detriment to a smaller city or town if the local people don't have enough control or investment in the sector themselves.
It's definitely good to organize, but if they are in the US, building publicly housing (an obvious solution) is illegal, so things aren't straightforward even if you obtain some power.
We are talking local level. It's actually possible to get things done, especially if you lay the groundwork and get some help. It doesn't need to be OP getting in the door, just start small and eventually their org can get someone to step up and take a position of power.
It's only smuglord-worthy if we are at the federal level imo
It's just a messenger app. Whatsapp is probably used by more criminals on the whole, but there's no reason for that to make the news
That's pretty much where we used to be on Reddit, like ~100k users, but top 20 most active or something like that lol
