Bumfuzzled by losses among young voters, media outlets obscure how much Biden’s lockstep support of Israel is harming his prospects in the 2024 election.
@skyfaller @njwatt it doesn't matter who you put on the NLRB if you exercise your power as president to break a rail strike. It's that simple. When he had the chance to help labor he helped capital instead and no amount of appointments to a board that is split between Republicans and Democrats is going to make a difference
@skyfaller @njwatt Biden broke a rail worker strike. Standing at a picket line is symbolic and makes people forget he's a strike breaker
@njwatt @skyfaller ratchet effect is about ideology. Democrats keep moving rightward
@skyfaller there is no democracy for the United States to abandon. There are people alive today that remember not being able to vote in the South, and the civil rights act of 1968 did not fix it. The game of denying their vote just became more subtle, but the outcome remains the same.
The ratchet effect only goes one way, towards fascism. When Republicans get elected they push us towards it, while when the Democrats get elected it just pauses for a couple years, or advances slower.
@skyfaller America has systematically denied the peaceful transfer of power when it suited them.
Chile
Iran
Indonesia
The imperial boomerang was destined to come back to us.
Whenever someone says they're not going to vote for Biden, Democrats/liberals would yell at you about how you need to vote blue no matter who, because what about the marginalized communities and how bad Orange Man would be for them.
Well, what about the Palestinians? What about that marginalized community? How does voting for Biden protect that marginalized community?
I think that the real success story here is Japan.
Japan has one of the strongest economic recoveries, but over 5-fold fewer deaths per capita from COVID-19 than the US.
The US chose to sacrifice the vulnerable for the economy.
Japan shows protecting public health can strengthen the economy.
@dfr Do you by chance have notes from this? I was also starting to get curious about what it would take to glue all your work together in CRI-O and ocijail to get k8s up and running and have freebsd node types
@neirbowj looks like pkg.freebsd.org now is hosting the packages - per https://github.com/dfr/freebsd-images/pull/2#issuecomment-1801905699
@neirbowj I have built the containers, just need to find somewhere or someone to host them
@dfr so, one bit of feedback - I did a buildworld, buildkernel and make packages and followed the instructions on https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase for creating a repo for use with pkg. I also followed the instructions for setting up nginx.
The issue is that the make packages command just dumps everything into /usr/obj/usr/src/repo/ - like for example /usr/obj/usr/src/repo/FreeBSD:13:aarch64/
"${REPOURL}/${BRANCH}/\${ABI}/latest" would end up 404'ing
