  • Yep. It says that the mainstream left n right in the US is pro-ruling class, with only minor differences and they get entangled around only entry-level topics without going after the materials reasons for issues n solving them.

    I think they mean the democrats, with the term to mean the US mainstream ‘left’. The video criticises both the Left and Right under that definition.


  • Aah. Thank you.
    Would the govt be able to create any laws to counter the case being overturned?

    And unrelated:
    Could the Green party and Democrats form a coalition and choose the President accordingly, if the results are bad?
    I’m an Indian, where we have parliamentary democracy.
    Parties can form coalitions and the leader set by the coalition becomes the Prime minister and the President is not as powerful, eventhough they’re technically the head of the nation.

    Is it different in USA? If Trumps gains most votes, can the Greens and Democrats channel votes against him by creating a coalition?


  • Look, if you don’t care about LGBT folks, women who need abortions, asylum seekers, etc. you can pull that “don’t care” lever

    Not a person living in USA, wouldn’t a coalition govt be better then, as the Roe vs Wade issue happened while the Democrats were in power?
    Or are coalitions not allowed?
    Or is the central govt powerless in such issues?


  • Didn’t Castro lead the group that freed their country from the dictator Batista?
    They have a very high literacy rate now. Their life expectancy is quite decent in their region.
    And they have good healthcare.

    All this in about 60 or so years, while being under sanctions and other crisis.






  • Since you’re a Malayali, you must know about Bappa Beary, a Muslim trader from Kerala?

    I haven’t heard of it. Thank you for sharing information on it.

    Regarding Sabarimala, it’s a shrine for Vaavar:
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vavar

    refrain from eating meat, wear a black lungi and plan a long-distance pilgrimage to Sabarimala to pay visit to the celibate God Ayyappa

    Yep.
    No meat, no footwear, no shaving, no swearing, no alcohol or similar material etc. It’s seen positively by many because it helps reduce alcoholism in some of the believers. I had a distant relative who’d be totally different during Mandalakaalam vs other times.

    I’ve been told that he had a lowly birth, and that Brahmins are trying to appropriate this God too - this information might be incorrect though.

    I’ve heard similar things too. That it was a tribal or buddhist diety that has been appropriated

    Aah yes - Look, those authoritarian socialists are fighting monarchist/imperialist/colonial forces for the freedom of their land, redistributing land to the poor and giving voting rights to women etc. Let’s coup them and install druglords or despots there.?

    Are you on the other side trying to sell us on Freedom and Democracy™(oil lover edition)?
