We have some positions in common with Trump, mostly by coincidence. Opposing the EU, "free" trade agreements, all Democrats, paying for military bases worldwide, and funding and encouraging proxy wars against Russia. Supporting relations with DPRK and ending the war on Afghanistan.
Some libs think because we oppose Biden means we support Trump. We just don't think Biden is the solution to Trump, as they're both symptoms of the same problem, capitalism and oligarchy. We don't support Putin because we oppose the US's proxy wars with Russia, they're symptoms of the same problem.
The left-right dichotomy in popular US media is a center-right v far-right split for us, two hemorrhoids on the butthole of capitalism. We generally don't support the popular narrative. The dichotomy we see is between working class and owning class. Imagine our detractors as oil executives, feds, cops and landlords, and anti-socialist propaganda gains valuable context. We generally support communist revolution as the solution, not voting for outspoken anti-communists.

Almost always this is a player issue as mentioned. I’ve had similar issues with some files where audio just doesn’t work on one player but works fine for another. Same with subtitles. Set to an external player like VLC and see if that fixes it. (For what it’s worth, I mostly access Jellyfin from my Chromecast and I have it set to prompt me for a player each time I start watching something, one of them always works but for my files it isn’t consistent which) Melmi English2•
I’m not sure of the cause, but this is an issue with the Web Player on the Jellyfin app. You can fix it by going to Settings -> Client Settings -> Video Player Type and selecting Integrated Player or External Player.
I was doing that anyway in my early 20s. Now I'll do it for $50,000.
Getting rid of fascists works actually. The reasonable thing to do is try to educate those who will listen, deplatform those who will not, and imprison or exile those who try to act on their politics. The few who are left over won't be able to build up enough of a movement to do anything. They're just terrorists who want to fuck it up for everyone and institute totalitarian corporatist society, if we tolerate their right to frozen peaches, everything goes to shit.
Other than that I agree wholeheartedly with your main point. Everyone but fascists deserves a place in society, a home, a job, education, and health care. If we crack down on fascists, we can have that.
Tall untattooed vegetarian teetotalers won't go to heaven either.
It probably helps but you can still die.
It's like the antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft 22 years ago. They are still trying to push their browser.
Mass shootings, although there are indeed many, are a small percentage of the gun deaths in the US. Most are suicide, next most common are arguments outside bars. Most common weapon in gun homicides is a handgun.
Research shows that income inequality causes crime and you can see that more unequal nations (Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Israel) have more violence.
The problem with the US is it's a sanctuary for capitalists, capital and capitalism. Worse than anything that the US does or allows to happen to its own people, is what our government/corporations do to "developing nations". Invasions, supporting coups, fighting to suppress labor rights and wages, extracting natural resources with little compensation, overthrowing governments that try to stop any of that, supporting genocide, committing genocide, chemical warfare, biological warfare, nuclear warfare. Any socialist country they can't overthrow they'll try to starve through embargoes.
Anyway, the worst states are ones where abortion is outlawed, lawmakers fight access to public health care or any public resources that don't go to the wealthy. Usually these states are controlled by the wealthy, like coal bosses running West Virginia into the ground. Capitalists have been using evangelical christianity in north and south America to scare voters into voting right-wing on culture war issues like abortion and transphobia. They use reactionary tendencies like hatred of foreigners, hatred of gun control, hatred of schools teaching the history of how our country treated black people, etc, to keep people voting for the right-wingers who also happen to be the friendliest to business.
Both major political parties are right-wing pro-capitalist parties. Some states do have some social safety nets for health care and welfare but being poor is a horrible experience in every state. 50,000 people die yearly from lack of health care access, not including COVID deaths. There's really no state you can live or party you can vote for to get away from it.
I've lived in a few less right-wing states. A friend of a friend was killed by police while he was suspected of shoplifting, trying to run away. Some kid killed himself in my high school while i was there. I live in a town where there's lots of homeless people and syringes all over the place. 3 people in my family died of COVID.
Basically the US is a fascist country. Fascism is when the wealthy consolidate their power over government, in the face of growing violence and instability from growing inequality. The point of fascism is to protect capitalism from these growing threats by creating a police state, deflecting blame for hardship onto minorities, and handing off chunks of the government to the wealthy through privatization. The wealthy and the government essentially merge, they become the same people with the same goals.
That was a really satisfying video, in a morbid kind of staring at a car accident kind of way.
