Funny how you posted a right leaning publication’s piece about a left leaning publication’s funding without seeing the irony.
Also, (unsurprisingly), the article is wrong:
https://thedispatch.com/article/fact-check-politico-usaid-funding/
But I don't care about the irony. I wasn't making a point. I posted cuz I found it interesting. That's it.
Thanks, friend!
Might want to make sure what you post is correct then, otherwise it looks like you’re pushing a narrative.
No problemo buddy!
And what would that narrative be?
Because I can't control, nor do I care to control, the narrative that someone feels when they read a news article.
I didn't write the article. A MUCH bigger and more popular website than Lemmy published it.
Heck, I didn't even post the contents of the article. Just the title and the link.
What people think is on them, not up to me.
Thanks, friend!
I am socialist.
I don't write the articles, friend. You don't have to read them. Posting something I find interesting doesn't mean I subscribe to all the points of view in an article.
If you find there is something troubling in the article, please reach out to the people who write it.
Sounds like it is. You should definitely block me. Because I'm not gonna stop posting. I'll post whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want.
Thanks, friend! :)
You know being a socialist in the real world is not a good thing right? Read a book about economics and join the libertarian movement - we are the good guys 😀
Well actually...
I'm a Libertarian Socialist. So trust me, I'm all about a lot of Libertarian values. I even created a sub called Libertarian Socialism. !libertariansocialism@sh.itjust.works
But since most people don't know about Libertarian stuff, I just shorthand it and go with Socialist when describing myself.
I actually grew up in the town that started the Libertarian Party here in the US.
But friend, the last US Libertarian Party candidate SUCKED! He had zero charisma.
The US Libertarian Party has a lot of great goals, but they need to work on getting better candidates.
I am from the Netherlands, our libertarian movement is in an even worse shape. At least with DOGE you have some libertarian action.
Will check the sub!
Thanks! The sub is pretty bare because I just can't find much on Libertarian Socialism. But I have it there so when I do occasionally run across something, I throw it in there. :)
But yeah, I am freakin' loving the DOGE stuff. It's hilarious how may Lemmy people are just hating on it because of Musk and Trump. If Bernie or AOC would have started this thing, Lemmy would have stars in their eyes. Because sooo much money is being wasted by the government.
