That’s good. I was inclined to think i got a dud but my experience trying to read my vast purchased kobo library on the kobo app on my iphone, ipad, and boox palma 2 (the app is basically unusable for me and my account now), plus my terrible customer service experiences with kobo, have left me with an overwhelming idea that kobo as a company sucks and their products are inferior to kindle products.

I have had a terrible experience with kobo btw. $450 for a stupid ereader that, three years later, is glitchy and slow af, doesnt sync to my phone or ipad kobo app if i want to read on those, does not hold a charge, and a lot of ebooks I bought when I first got my kobo no longer work (either some kind of formatting error or just blank pages)! Also, they literally have ZERO customer service except for a team of like two Indian people who will give you the runaround for days. Kobo is an absolute scam. I use my ipad mini with the PocketBook app (there are plenty of others that are just as good) and just download ebooks for free from Anna’s Archive or get from my libraries on libby.

Imperialism is capitalism. Imperialism is the financial exploitation (i.e. resource theft, wealth extraction) of the entire world by a handful of monopolies, not “big country does war and trade deals”. Social Democrats are welfare capitalists. Since capitalism is destroying all of us, welfare capitalists certainly aren’t going to get us out of this mess. They only make capitalism more tolerable for the already oppressed working class so that capitalists, monopolies, and big banks can continue to rake in the dough by exploiting the already impoverished poor.

Why is this getting downvotes? It is the truth!

Fighting the liberals instead of the fascists? That’s like saying you’re choosing to eat an apple instead of a piece of fruit. Apples are fruit, too. Liberals are fascists, too.

Some ones I’ve seen recently: Scary Movie. The Witches. Dressed to Kill. Cape Fear.

Currently reading five books:

1. Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray (it’s basically Real Housewives of Regency London. Loving it!)
2. The Wings Upon Her Back by Samantha Wells (grimdark steampunk!)
3. The World is Full of Divorced Women by Jackie Collins (racy 70s chick lit)
4. Blue Skinned Gods by SJ Sindu (a blue boy in Tamil Nadu, India is believed to be the reincarnation of a Hindu god)
5. Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism by George Monbiot & Peter Hutchison (freedom only for the rich while the rest of us are oppressed, surveilled, and exploited)

If only neolib capitalist states cared about actually liberating people and not just invading, bombing, and regime changing sovereign nations for money and oil

If she backs it up with actions maybe. But words are empty and it’s too little too late. Her actions up until now have supported the occupying Zionist entity and its genocide. It’s hard for me and a lot of anti-Zionists to take her seriously when it is very obviously politically expedient for her to say this at this moment (especially right after Ana Kasparian called her out on twitter for her support of Israel). She’s still an opportunist that is part of an imperialist, Zionist party that is complicit in the murder of countless civilians across the globe, and, worst of all, doesn’t seem to understand that. You say “perfect is the enemy of the good” but what good is this for Gaza now when it is decimated and hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered, many still buried under the rubble?

Call it what you want but it’s still the truth

By definition, a Zionist is anyone who supports the development and protection of a Jewish nation in Occupied Palestine at the expense of Palestinian lives, land, and sovereignty. Any degree of that is Zionism. You are not an anti-Zionist if you support the development and protection of a Jewish nation on stolen, Palestinian land. Anti-Zionism isn’t a big tent kind of club. AOC, Mamdani, Bernie, and anyone else who supports the continued colonization of Occupied Palestine are Zionists.

Problem is all of us on the left will not forget her past record and her choices time and time again to side with the status quo, Israel, and the imperialist, capitalist Democratic Party.

Yeah it must be SOOO difficult to sacrifice tens of thousands of innocent civilians so that she can stay in power and not make her colleagues uncomfortable. Give me a break. She’s an evil Zio neolib like the rest of the Democratic Party. Crocodile tears

Only after Ana Kasparian called Lyin’ Zion AOC out on her lies on twitter. And love how she is bringing up the Leahy amendment now when she was fucking ride or die for Biden and Kamala despite the fact that they violated the Leahy amendment AND other US laws AND international law🙄 She’s a neolib Zio grifter whose sole purpose is to put a cap on leftward movement in the Democratic Party and their base🤮

They tortured & imprisoned the Ayatollahs in the same torture dungeons as everyone else (see the link in my previous post). And Americans wonder why Iranians had a revolution to take control of their country back. Wouldn’t you if a foreign country infiltrated you, did a coup to remove your democratically elected socialist leader (Mossadegh), and replaced him with a foreign puppet dictator king (the Shah) who had a secret police of Israeli-trained torturers (SAVAK)? 🇮🇱🇺🇸 = evil

A look into what this guy’s dad (the US backed dictator Shah) did to the Iranian people with the help of the CIA and the Mossad. Some of the torturers and war criminals that carried out some of the most heinous torture in modern history are still living as free men in the US after being granted asylum after the 1979 Islamic revolution. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K3FCvqp--J4
