atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yep not hard to look at history and see that there wasn't a capitulation of corporations to fascism in the 1920/30s but rather a complete support and fostering of it. 040
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Hm yeah good point. A lack of integrity. It does take a leap of faith and a certain bravado to leave a well-paying job for the unknown. At what point does it become "i was following orders" though. 210
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'd argue big money interest at MSM outlets has silenced anti-corruption and un-biased reporting. Luckily the interest is still relatively uncontrollable so there are a lot of indepedent outlets doing actual reporting. 130
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 05/10/20262 years? Trump is a symptom- the US imperial ambitions have been around since its inception. Hell the US has invaded Canada before and has always flirted with fascism. Since WW2, the focus has been covert - look how many CIA backed coups have happened to central and south America. Elbows up. 010
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What has the last 70 years meant to you? What was Vietnam? We just left Iraq after 23 years... of WAR. When was the last time we really defended ourselves? The name change back to the DOW is one of the good things they've done because it no longer hides the true purpose.... 000
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I can't speak for his wife, but the caste system is still a huge thing. She probably doesn't consider herself "brown" -- but also JD is a liar and will do anything for power so who knows what he really believes 2303

atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Seems you've stumbled into the "paradox of tolerance" 070
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Oh? So all of Gaza is Israeli? The west bank? What state is there now? A 2nd one? 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Lol I know what people want too, and neither group wants to be eradicated in a genocide. "never again" We are in a 2 state solution right now - how is that working? 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026You speak for all? If a 2 state solution worked we wouldnt be having this conversation. It was supposed to have worked with the Abraham Accords yet here we are. Your argument against a 1 state solution is also valid against a 2 state solution 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026You combined 2 things - 2 state solution AND peaceful coexistence. I dont agree with that. A one state solution that is a democracy with protections for minorities - an equal state that is not divided on ethnic or religion. That would lead to peace. No ethnic, religious apartheid states. 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026No I don't. There is no viable path to a 2 state solution when Israel maintains significantly more power than Palestine and while Israel has no respect for Palestinians or arabs or muslims in general. Not while people like Ben Gvir are in power. 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I dont think the bombing of aid vehicles is justified or the blockade of food and water to civilians or the arming of Israeli settlers with military grade weapons or the continued occupation of PLA territory. I don't think targeting a concert and killing hundreds of people is justified either. 210
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Can't have it both ways. How many Palestinians have been abducted by Israel and are being held without trial in military prisons? If you agree they have the right to armed resistance then I'll agree with your premise 🙂. 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Well it's the internet and I've provided 2 different sources around the general point of my statement. Believe it or don't 🤷♂️ 000
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Killing over 20000 children must be as well? Gaza has the highest number of per capita child amputees. I guess that's justified? "Peacefulcoexistence" is quite the choice 100

atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I guess due to citizens united, corporations are people so technically yes? But no, most end up in warehouses or storage and are resold on Amazon etc over decades 🙂 100
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Ah yeah so the continued genocide and ethnic cleansing is justified then. Right-o 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026He was invited to speak at a university? I'm not following how being mentioned by the prime minister of Israel or the president of the US is his fault? He stumped for a few candidates. He didn't ask to be mentioned by Fox News hundreds of times 1140
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Are you kidding me? You think he is invoking a group from before he was even born??? A majority of the world views genocide as bad, as immoral. Therefore they are the moral majority. You've tossed a few too many rocks 060
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Sure. Politicians will write a book. Then groups, pacs, charities, private investors, will buy thousands and thousands of books which artificially inflate how many they have sold. 101
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Are AI data centers the greatest case of NIMBYism ever? Just like the computer replaced the rolodex, AI is replacing a lot of different parts of a lot of different jobs. But it's not going to stop. Just like the dot com bubble bursting didn't end the internet 000
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Consider how "best-selling" lists are made too and who is buying the books to re-sell. That's an interesting rabbit whole of corruption too 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Maybe end this illegal war against Iran instead? 000
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I hate this - DEI is a good thing. We dont need to muddy it by dropping it to their level. Just call them nepo-baby parasites instead 000
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 16/09/2026If your grandparents were forced from their home with no compensation and you lived in a verifiable apartheid state while under constant harassment and violence, knowing over 20,000 children had been killed, you would probably join Hamas too 1346

atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I'm fine with the department of war. That's what it is. Never been about defense 000
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Surprisingly you can speak more than one language and live in america. Who knew? Bernie Sanders is not a member of DSA and you're right he isn't a Democrat. DSA on the other hand was formed with a primary goal of changing the Democratic party from within in 1982 110
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Democrats did not create DSA. DSA was created in the 1970s after the dissolution of socialist political parties in the US. DSA is not a political party. 210
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I'll concede on the power and water demands - that has never been comparable to now. But I'll maintain my other argument. How many jobs require a computer? Can you start an office job and say "i prefer to do this by hand?" How many consumer products require smart phone apps? 000
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I don't follow the argument - Clancy is getting so much attention because there is a pretty decent chance she will walk free. The other 8? Terrible atrocities but they either killed themselves during the act or will go to prison for life - not a chance they walk. 220
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 07/09/2026We got along fine without social media, yet here we are. We got along fine without smart phones, yet here we are.

atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Might just be those countries have amplified cultural emphasis. I guarantee everywhere in the world there are idiots on about the same % as those 3. Bet. 031
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Idk where you get off based on your replies, but the DSA is not a political organization. Political candidates can be members of and ascribe to it's principles but they aren't running under the DSA. 010

atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 24/08/2026His point was decades of american interventionism and adventurism globally directly led to the situation that happened. From helping keep the Shah in power in Iran until 1979 to arming the Mujahideen against the soviets... america fostered the distaste that existed. That was his point 171
atamala.bsky.social @atamala.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It wasn't your post, it was all the anecdotely stories being shared in comments that were "why can't we get along we are all the same" 110
