gave it all the gumption I could muster

This has to be one of the whitest lines I have read in a while, lmao. Reads like someone doing an imitation of an over the top cracker archetype.

Doubtful. Aren't fireworks sort of a big deal in Chinese culture? Drone shows are cool but theres thousands of years of history there.

The technology for this has been around for decades, if the Soviet union didn't fall we would have been to mars by the 2000s. Once the cold war ended all the funding and government support for human crewed missions virtually vanished, and we've been stuck in low earth orbit ever since. Human space exploration literally got set back several decades because of this, and we're probably going to take another couple of decades before we can even get back to the moon. Something that was possible in the 60s.

Blackface country, lol

"Top Three countries"

What? There are 4 bars? and 6 colors?

What am I looking at?

I think anyone would be, you don't need to be from the US, just human.

In this case the judicial angle isn’t punishment, but completion

That's the crazy part, the bare minimum appeal was to change his sentence to life in prison. That would still be an end to the case with a definite ruling. They chose to kill him. A lot of the opposition to his execution wasn't even asking to release him, but to just change the sentence, they couldn't even do the bare minimum to spare a (potentially innocent) life. Sheer barbarism.

I'm not in the US, how am I supposed to revolt? If I was, I would have been out protesting this, but as a foreigner wtf can I do but look on in horror?

I was following this story closely over the past week and it made me so fucking sad and furious when I read the news yesterday. Nobody wanted him killed, not the family of the victim, not the judges, not even the fucking prosecution. But that shitty district attorney went and forced the issue.

Putting aside whether he did it or not, why did he have to DIE? Just because it is an election year and it looks better for their shitty DA to say he's "tough on crime?". I will never understand people who defend the death penalty, even if he absolutely did do it beyond a reasonable doubt (WHICH HAS NOT BEEN PROVED) how does that make it ok for the government to kill him?

I don't understand the angle of "Punishment" because anyone who fucking says that has never spent a single day in jail. If you have, then you'll know that spending an entire lifetime there is more than enough to punish you for whatever tf you did.

Nobody should be murdered by the government in any sane, normal country. ESPECIALLY if they don't know for sure if he deserves it.

Rest in peace. I hope that shitty Justice system faces real justice one day.

I wouldn't even put Shining path and Khmer Rouge in the same league as the rest of these parties. Like sure, all the others listed are crappy and have bad positions. SP and Pol Pot were committing literal Genocides and pogroms, it's disingenuous to lump them together like this.

Nice try

Khmer Rouge

Liberals and their treat nitpicking. These guys just want pretty girl pixels and racism in their games and they will excuse anything after that.

You said it better than I did, lmao, I should have just read yours first. But yes, I think currently there isn't any blatant censorship or algorithmic suppression of left content on Rumble. I've seen plenty of Pro Palestinian (and, annoyingly Pro Israel too) content on there with a reasonable viewership. Rumbles management doesn't care, as they currently just want people to use their platform, and they hardly get advertising due to the stigma against them in corporate circles.

I have no doubt that if the tables flip, and Rumble becomes big and mainstream enough to start getting pressure from the US government and corporate sponsors, this will probably all change and it would just become another Youtube. But that hasn't happened yet, and it means it's still able to be uncensored.

Rumble is just that, a platform. That's how I've seen it in my experience. There are leftists there too, even if they are the minority. But this is the same on any other platform, apart from maybe Tankietube and similar. It doesn't mean that it's not worth using, if anything I think leftists should put their content anywhere they're allowed, as the whole point is to get the masses on board. Rumble's audience is already skeptical of mainstream media and other big tech platforms, so I'd say that it's more likely your stuff gets traction on there than it would on Youtube for example. The site does have the one massive issue in that it's got an established large userbase of right wingers because of how the site started off, but I think given enough time this would probably shift a bit since enough leftists start getting booted from Youtube etc. (Recent Russiagate witch-hunting is already proof of this)

Socialism was at it's lowest point in the 80s, not a great time to pick sides.

I follow Richard Medhurst on there, as he has a channel there which I'd much rather watch than on Youtube.

Also, OP posted AfricanStream, which is another decent example

Damn, and actual Marxist Leninist party. Wonder how long before the inevitable coup.

Colonialism? They're certainly already doing their best in that regard.

It's got a lot of right wing users, and that's what most of the content there is like, definitely, but I wouldn't call it strictly right wing. Unlike youtube, there isn't really any censorship, for better or for worse, which means you can upload leftist stuff there as well.

I remember during the Pro Palestinian protests during the DNC in Chicago recently, Rumble actually had some streams from the protests pinned and featured on the frontpage, you'd never see that on youtube, for example.
