We need to change this rhetoric. Trump isn’t going to be hurt by this. It’s more apt that he’s taking a machine gun to all of our feet. He hasn’t been held accountable for anything he’s made us suffer through.

All this instability has me direly worried about what will happen if China invades Taiwan. Like, if we think it’s bad now, an invasion of Taiwan would grind our systems to a halt.

Slashing social security to fund this and golfing.

“Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”

They want trans people existing to not be protected under the First Amendment.

Every day, I’m further grasping just how fucked we are :)

There’s a story I heard recently that has really stuck with me. It happened in the Sobibor Extermination Camp during WW2. Basically the camp was structured so that captured Jews would be selected to be Kapos. A Kapo was a disciplinarian that kept the rest of the Jews in line, usually with a whip. A lot of the times the Kapo would repeat Nazi propaganda because the Nazi guards were watching too. The rest of the Jews could understand their predicament. But there was one Kapo named Berliner, nicknamed because he was born in Berlin. The rest of the Jews hated Berliner because he truly bought into the propaganda. Imagine, a Jew… in an extermination camp… talking about how Hitler was a misunderstood savior of the Jews right before he started beating his fellow Jews to keep them in line.

It’s no surprise that Berliner’s end comes in the form of a lynching by the rest of the Jews he was keeping in line.

Turns out Republicans social and economic policiy is dogshit. There are three types of Republicans; power hungry sycophants, cultural chameleons that dont care but to blend in, and then the largest proportion… salt of the earth morons.

You’d be surprised to learn their reasoning if you actually listened to it.

Turns out their reasoning a lot of the time is divinely ordained racism and sexism. Turns out thats been the reasoning behind a lot of humanity’s choices.

That’s because politics are getting to the point where people cannot ignore them any longer. Think it’s bad now? Just wait till the grocery gets hit.

What if we had a tribunal instead of moderators? Actually just in the time it took me to write that out I could see it going terribly wrong LMAO

Best part about Lemmy is it actually seems like I’m talking to a real person.

The whole life has a purpose and eternal soul thing make people want to believe as well

Imagine a collateral 😩

They understand tariffs. They want stock prices to tank so they can rake in on slashed prices. This is just more and more of the same wealth transfer in the past 45 years, just so in our faces that people don’t want to believe it’s happening.

His base called him God emperor 4 or 5 years ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if an egomaniac like him took it to heart.

Surely people will enjoy pay walled content.

Far too many bots on reddit. Half the time I wasn’t sure if I was talking to a real person.

Last time I signed up for Reddit it asked me to pick some of my top interests. One of the options was Elon Musk.

Free to be white, Christian, submissive, and breedable.

Billionaires are extracting all the wealth from this country and convincing the idiots that Maria from El Salvador with 2 dollars to her name is the problem.
