Having voter's remorse in 2017 is reasonable and justified. Voting for Trump in 2024 means that you are a very bad person. That's the difference.

Also, people blame the Republican party all the time, including in this instance.

Also, people blame nonvoters all the time.

Also, more than one kind of person exists on Lemmy. You wouldn't say "IRL blames democratic party" because that sentence makes no sense. The same is true for what you just wrote.

TL;DR: you couldn't be more wrong than you are.

Here in Sweden it used to be praxis for parties in parliament to abstain rather than voting no if they opposed a proposed government for whom they had no better alternative.

Then the nazis came into parliament and threw that praxis out the window and thus ruined a system that had worked great for over half a century.

"The global south" is a well-established concept that has replaced the concept of the "third world" since the collapse of the soviet union (the "second world").

Nonsense. It gives the same benefits that a simple massage does but a massage doesn't put you at risk of paralysis or death.

It's quackery.

Imagine if Iran had allied with ISIS, killed the US President and bombed several US schools, then a couple of weeks later Iran's leader goes "anyway, we are winding down this war. It is someone else's problem now."

That's not how war works.

You want an online community that allows both the right and the far right? That would be ALL OTHER ONLINE COMMUNITIES!

We came here specifically to get our own forum, where the centre left, regular left and far left are all allowed. This is a forum for the working class, not for the capitalists. And you capitalists can't handle the fact that us workers for once get to have a forum of our own.

Granted, I don't know what Haiku is, but surely it can't be more independent and niche than TempleOS?

According to marxists, a capitalist is someone who extracts the surplus value of other people's labor.

According to non-marxist socialists, a capitalist is someone who holds decision-making power in a workplace without having been given that mandate by the workers of that workplace.

In either case, owning your own business does not in itself make you a capitalist. Having non-owner employees makes you a capitalist.
