Liberals love to call people calmly explaining things with impassioned language as “being fired up” as if caring about things or speaking on them with a modicum of authority is bad.
Thanks for your meaningful contribution to this conversation lol
Fuck Obama. What a slimy grifter he is. Hope and change my ass.
Edit: Liberals man. Obama was objectively a liar who campaigned as a progessive and governed like a centrist liberal. He spent his whole admin engaging in endless war crimes abroad while tirelessly working to destroy the left in our country paving the way for the fascist surge we are seeing today.
He could have done stuff to move us away from this path but instead doubled down on it. Go read a fucking a book y’all are remembering history with rose colored glasses.
“Every government is just pulling on different levers and creating different flavors of the same problems”
This statement is so braindead because it ignores the INTENT behind why governments do things. It just boils all of them down to just being the same thing where all governments are trying to do the same things (which from the rest of your message must be conquest and domination if you think most countries would trade places with the US - I have to believe you are implying all the things that come along with “being America”) which is patently not true. Comparing the two largest super powers in the world right now demonstrates this clearly - the US and China have two wildly different governmental structures that are acting with wildly different intent both domestically and internationally. What are their goals? Why do they act the way they do? Why do they interact with other countries the way they do? Why do they have the problems they do? How do the policies exacerbate or relieve those issues?
Like do you think places with a lower standard of living just are like that because the people running the government just don’t give a shit for some reason? How do you think you have places where income is low but everything is affordable? Just dumb luck while governments be doing government things?
There are some constants in our world on the boundaries of class, but even then those do not manifest the same everywhere in the world because not every government treats the issue the same.
“Then you got all varieties of societal stuff” oh brother
Like I get it you didn’t drop your whole ideological world view in some Lemmy post you made taking a shit at work, but I just couldn’t help but eye roll so hard you resisted taking any kind of stance on anything. Shit just happens with no real rhyme or reason.
Ah the enlightened centrist take that succinctly avoids any kind of analysis of WHY things are the way they are. Things just are the way they are and that’s that I guess.
Who wants this? What the fuck?
pushing internet lies as drama is funny or something I guess
Without much evidence? There is NO evidence.
As far as I’m concerned these are opportunities to find left curious libs and agitate them into joining an organization like DSA or PSL or whatever that is organizing resistance at the local level.
If this is gonna take everyone to turn around then going where the people are to try and organize them is your best bet.
Ngl I never thought I’d hear a stupider autism cause story by the dumb fuck anti vaxxers but goddamn they really cooked on this even more brain dead circumcision take. Color me impressed they can still keep me on my toes like this after a year.
I can’t wait to see how they weaponize this in some way to steal further money from artists. They already make artists pay to show up on radios that the app pushes people to use for music discovery. Next they’ll make it so artists only appear in AI generated playlists or something if they pay some extra fee.
Or one step further dystopian. They will start making AI music that they artificially boost in the algorithm and push out artists for user attention.
Boy do I hope I’m wrong.
When this bubble pops it’s gonna be real bad.
I can only imagine downvoters are Europeans or liberals (or both) who like to imagine the world is a bunch of soverign nations working in tandem rather than the US playing with a bunch of finger puppets to push its violent agenda.
Liberals will call you sexist for not liking their politics
I envy you somehow missing that story. I really do.
This is it. Israel is too profitable for them to detox from. They get to test out sick new tech to spy on and abuse their citizens, they get to put pressure on nations in the surrounding area with resources they want, and just the sheer amount of money selling weapons in general.
It’s one of the most lucrative grifting exercises the western nations have ever designed.
Who the fuck asked for this? Can’t Hollywood come up with ANYTHING that isn’t a reboot seeking to exploit the nostalgia of millenials?
Letting the government shut down is literally the only point of leverage the Dems have. This is them actually doing something for the first time in almost a year of Trump 2.0.
The alternative is just letting all the cuts the want to make in this budget go through uncontested in a complicit abdication to the fascist, patently betraying their constituency (even more than they already largely have).
Pete Hegseth is a rapist. It’s not relevant to the story but I like repeating it.
Imagine being the person in the government who’s job it is to watch some Netflix slop and then comment on it. As if this something we need the government to take an opinion on. Surely there’s anything else we could be spending our time and money on right?
What an unserious country the US is.
