Yeah I was just about to edit my comment to mention that. Like bro why are you here it’s built on the same ethos you hate in linux.

Man that subreddit is a trip. Really funny to actively hate FOSS on ideological grounds because you just love corporations and markets so much.

He’s doing a huge PR blitz lately, he’s angling for something and political office is the most obvious reason. Even if he’s just testing the waters.

Truss is a bad example of this because she actively chose to dive off the cliff.

AI chats are pretty good for finding leads on unknown unknowns when researching something new. Maybe it’s just because of how much worse search engines are now but theyre also pretty good for troubleshooting when you don’t have good keywords to narrow down the search effectively.

Explain what leftism is and what makes you a leftist made this comment before I saw they call themself anarchist.

and this guy is calling himself a leftist

I haven’t seen one shred of evidence through all of their trolling that suggests OP isn’t literally a liberal that doesn’t know what leftism is and has it confused with social progressivism. Not even in a ‘dem socs aren’t leftist’ way I mean I suspect they do actually support the continuation of capitalism.

*before downvoting me this is a quote from OP

tHe Bourgeoisie lol when do you people live smh

like…

**oh nevermind they self identified as anarchist somewhere. Explains the childish trolling and inability to read I guess. I genuinely thought they were a lib that got lost.

Yeah famine in Gaza isn’t because of economic forces it’s because of Israel deliberately starving them. There has been enough humanitarian aid available to feed the starving for decades at this point, the sticking point is people with guns getting in the way.

Oh ok I guess nobody has ever won a war because war is bad and even the winners take casualties. Very strong arguments you’ve presented of ‘no lol’, acting smug, and having your own bespoke definition of winning a war.

20 years? The US ousted the ba’athist government in less than a month and installed a sympathetic regime in less than two years. Even a pyrrhic victory is still a victory. The US got what it wanted geopolitically and the government they waged war against was ousted.

It was costly, unjustified, evil, and probably not even worth it from the cold math of empire but it was still a military victory.

Ok so you can’t win a war if it wasn’t clean and easy? And since when has the publicly stated justification for a war ever had anything to do with who won? Lots of wars start with false justifications.

Do you think Saddam’s government won? The US won the war with Iraq if not the war with the insurgency.

Tell that to Saddam and Gaddafi.

lol the downvote. Did those governments that no longer exist actually win the wars that caused them to cease existing?

*this doesn’t mean they were good or justified. If anyone thinks I implied or said that you need to learn how to read.

Because ~90% of people don’t actually think about morality deeper than ‘gross, icky.’ If that seems high I’m also including in that people who start with the reaction and work backwards looking for justifications.

Parking between the lines in the parking lot? You can just drive over them. wake up sheeple you can just stop your car anywhere

You can simplify this and eliminate the forging by just casting more parts and assembling them. From looking at it I thought the teeth were removable and the fastener is hidden by the beard but other similar cast knockers seem to just make the ring out of two parts. https://www.chairish.com/product/14868315/antique-satyr-face-wram-horns-iron-door-knocker

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the fbi probably needs a higher standard of evidence than “trust me bro” to get a warrant on a freshly out of office former president. Good thing this guy claims to have incriminating recordings of trump and oh wait he conveniently can’t produce them, definitely not suspicious. I’m going to assume ‘I was in the sinaloa cartel but they let me leave because I was tight with Epstein’ guy isn’t throwing up even more nutjob red flags.

Ok so we agree “some random guy made an unsubstantiated tip to the fbi about a (then) former president” is not news or noteworthy.

So depressing to see this get this many upvotes on lemmy. I want to go back to that brief period where I mistakenly believed that the userbase of lemmy was a bit more intelligent and skeptical than reddit’s. Nope, still just voting on gut reactions to headlines on whether they fit confirmation bias or not.

‘sure it’s just an unsubstantiated fbi tip that doesn’t make any sense if you actually read it. but trump bad so it must be true’ A random guy making a salacious claim about a former president without any evidence isn’t news just because you want to believe it.

+bonus round ‘oh you’re skeptical of an unsubstantiated salacious claim somebody made about a former president? do you think trump good or something?’
