vfreire85@lemmy.mlto Palestine@lemmy.ml•Suicides in “Israeli” military: Haaretz report reveals rising trend in 20251·11 days ago“oh, the pain i feel from killing brown people, i’m so overwhelmed”
that’s a bathroom from a “cozy 10m² studio in a fashionable são paulo neighbourhood. yours for 1000 usd per month”.
i’m glad you said that, i was confused if this was either an apocryphal from ayn rand… or the great nagus, who knows.
not even fiat (heh) is worth anything if we don’t accept it as store of value, let alone an electronic register on a digital ledger.
vfreire85@lemmy.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•Who Remember This? We Also Broadcasted It Live To Schoolrooms16·16 days agoi wasn’t born back then, but i remember watching a punky brewster episode rerun when i was a kid that was about it. probably the first time i heard about the challenger disaster.
vfreire85@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do gamers actually like the look of gaming computers and accessories?21·20 days agoi want plain computers back.
since i moved back with my parents, my house was built in 1993. before that i was living in an apartment that was built in 2021.

vfreire85@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•US embassy wants 'every social media username of past five years' for new visas61·1 month agocan you please tell me how exactly chinese psyops will destroy the US? 'cause i can’t really see how anything they could would hurt the world.
would the chinese, perhaps, campaign for communism in the US? how could that possibly be bad?
vfreire85@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.2·1 month agobut mexico has got way more parties than pri, so much that most candidates winning elections do so with a broad alliance. in fact since 2000 pri only had a single term.

vfreire85@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices1·1 month agothen in a sense the west is the biggest ally the islamic government can have, because they are succeeding in rallying the iranian people, even those who are oppressed, to defend their country. and that despite the ayatollahs: so far just small unrepresentative groups are calling for an uprising against the regime. even the tudeh and the toufan are condemning the israeli intervention, and they have plenty of reasons to hate the regime.
vfreire85@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Iran asks its people to delete WhatsApp from their devices10·1 month agoout of these things you said, so far iran is guilty of only requiring women to stay covered and, to a degree, child marriage (it’s not a state policy, but marriage with girls as young as 9 years old is legal). as far as i know women in iran can drive (the last country where women were not allowed to drive was US ally saudi arabia) and are free to move around, work, study and such, notwithstanding the challenges that women face there (legal discrimination and the oppression that they suffer just by living in a capitalist country).
however, the liberation of women in iran won’t come imposed by other nation states, especially the western capitalist ones, and certainly won’t come as a result of a war against israel. they don’t give a damn about the iranian people, be they women, queer, religious or ethnic minorities. the sionist establishment just want anyone that menace their grip over middle east off their necks, and that’s what the iranian bourgeoisie are doing right now.
if you ask me what i think would be better, the working classes of both countries would team up to seize their military apparatuses and turn them against their elites. if that’s not possible, anything that hurts western imperialism gives the world a small victory, regardless of whoever achieves them. we can take care of whoever punches the west later.
vfreire85@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Since we have a joke for a president I want to know, what cartoon character would you actually vote for to be President of the US?0·2 months ago… a senile version of him IS actually the president.
you know, i tell you what. i’m fed up with all this gringo self-righteousness when you talk about “oh communism was bad, oh people where killed, oh people had no food, oh people had no liberty, oh people could not buy ataris, oh our countries are so democratic”. your countries were democratic during the cold war in the first place because you had people to sort things out for you here in the global south. for each person complaining about how the food rations in eastern europe were not tasty enough, there were 10 dying of hunger or malnourishment here in the global south. for every person complaining they had to wait 5 years in a queue to buy a trabant or an oka, there were 10 who got no school in a range of 50 km. for every person complaining that their 8 hour shifts in state owned factories were overwhelming, there were 10 who were indentured workers. for every person complaining about how the stasi, kgb or the stb had bugged their apartment, there were 10 suffering the most horrific tortures inside black sites of the military of u.s. allies here in the “third world”. for every person complaining about dull standard apartment blocks in mikrorayons, there were 10 who lived in mud shacks and slums, and those are just who were lucky enough to have a roof over their heads. finally, for everyone complaining about chinese sweatshops, which are indeed a problem, there are 10 americans who work and yet cannot afford proper housing.
you wanna complain about how communism was bad? go ahead. you wanna complain how your parents lived under communism and could not drink coke? do so if you wish. but there are still millions of people down here who would give an arm and a leg to have a polish ration, an apartment in a russian gray building, or a yugoslav job. and while the chinese maoist red guard was bad, surely it won’t be an inch closer to the harassement people endured on a daily basis by our police forces.
again: you wanna complain? be my guest. but for me that’s an encyclopedic example of white privilege.
since the end of ww2 the two major coup d’états in brazil happened with direct support of the department of state and the cia under dem administration (johnson was in power in 64 and obama, with hillary clinton in charge of the department of state, in 2016). we’ve got a story or two to tell about them. if the regular lib doesn’t care about that, then the most natural thing for us is to consider both parties equally harmful and don’t give a damn over internal issues of the us and a.
