  • Or you could say letting a convicted felon and rapist, alleged insurrectionist, and traitor back int he white house with the immunity of a king, because Moscow Mitch didn’t want to fill a SCOTUS seat under Obama. Or Citizens United. Or…

    USA served it’s purpose, I’m just trying to guess which countries will have to come and liberate it in 5 years from now.

    I’m waiting for a Canadian hacker group to announce they remote disabled all the USA nukes via one of Pete’s Signal groups, and then we just wait until they run out of bullets before we go in.


  • In 1995, writer Boris Strugatsky wrote an article about the signs of fascism

    Twenty years ago, the cult Soviet and Russian science fiction writer Boris Strugatsky published a note in the newspaper “Nevsky Vremya” entitled “Fascism is very simple. Epidemiological memo”.

    Plague in our house. We don’t know how to treat her. Moreover, we don’t even know how to make the right diagnosis. And the one who has already been infected often does not notice that he is sick and contagious.

    Man I was sure Putler would have whacked him, but he died of natural causes! So reading sci-fi is their blind spot, spread the word.





  • Yikes, forgetting the /s on !news is pretty punishing!

    To all you sensitive little American snowflakes:

    Yes, lots of “regular” people will now have to die for these idiots to also be unalived. So sorry for the discomfort. Rest in peace knowing the world will be very grateful for your sacrifice.

    What’s wrong with you? You have a 2nd amendment to fck shit up when shit gets real, but you only want to use it for school shootings?

    You’re disturbingly religious to the point there is NO separation of church and state and create an entire political cult out of it, yet the whole “Jesus dying for our sins” seems too far fetched to get rid of these corrosive assholes?

    We’re at a very simple point in history, which only Luigi has understood so far: as long as you keep this corrosive class of white wealthy fuckheads alive you are complicit in the destruction not just your country but our entire world.

    So you know what to do. “I aint doin shit” and press the downvote button.

    You rambo toughies are only tough when it’s convenient hey?






  • I don’t see the problem. And since we got to this point it’s probably wise to stop calling him stupid. He’s just not our kind of cunning and intelligent, but he’s not stupid.

    This is putting the problem front and centre, as if the 2nd amendment wasn’t showing it with the bazillions of school shootings over there: you can’t trust that some fallible political and legal writers of 200 years ago could have foreseen or provided a guiding document for a world with ad-sale-optimised social media algorithms, cruise control, semi automatic weapons, and currencies and crypto all disconnected from a gold standard.

    He is upholding and protecting the constitution to the best of his ability. Either the people in that country really misjudged his ability or as I mentioned before, he’s a cheater, and he cheated.

    Your country was broken when JFK was “couped”. It was broken when they got Reagan in. It broke more when they flew planes in their own buildings and lied about WMDs to start 20 years wars to only lose them. Your country is lost and fucked, not to mention run, controlled, brainwashed and bought by a genocidal zionist death cult, and it’s because nobody ever did anything about it, and they all thought that having a semi automatic in their garage meant no matter how bad it got, they would be able to defend themselves.

    They tricked you into thinking that flag was your community, but sneakily you’ve each and every one become the most selfish and scared little persons in the world. Nobody is jealous about anything the US brings to this world.

    You are reaping so fucking massively what you have sawn through generations of passivity and wanking to that flag as if its made out God’s own underwear.

    You broke it. Fix it.

    He’s merely the embodiment of your collective failure.

    E: only 4 downvotes? Maybe there is hope







  • I don’t think it can be overstated how far Apple and Tim are straying from their core values with this and the intelligence failures.

    It’s bad enough Tim really only made the Watch in his nearly 15y as CEO. His recent capitulation to the Regime and now this, it’s time to go buddy.

    You’re good at feeding shareholders and doing the stock buyback thing, but that’s not really what apple is. All of what apple is and you tried to mimic failed: the car, the ski goggles, the power mat and most recently “intelligence”.

    These are the signs a company has peaked and is just trying to ride the past successes.

    Thanks to Musk and Trump he of course looks like a half decent business leader, but when all the veils of secrecy are lifted and the privacy promises turn out to be empty, there isn’t much left.

  • Counterpoint. I posted an article from the Australian national broadcaster. They have their flaws but they aint breitbart.

    While I sensationalised the title and added my 2 cents in the original OP I cross posted to this community, I linked to a nice source and created a more world context friendly title, yet far from disingenuous click bait.

    The upvotes and the comments are largely based on that.

    What this rule is currently accomplishing:

    • people will just post sensationalist sources with clickbaity titles and questionable journalism
    • or people will create sensationalist titles for neutral higher quality sources and then the top comment is always going to be about this level of virtue signalling.

    What’s the point of a community if these are the rules? You’re asking for bad sources and at best or you’re just a comment section provider for legacy media.


  • Done. Only because I respect you.

    It doesn’t make sense that rule. But you’ll disagree anyway and there’s never a chance of winning a mod argument anyway.

    The article headline you want is pointless and meaningless to the 99% of the world who visits this.

    Peter Dutton to leave Coalition leaderless, conceding he has lost his seat of Dickson

    I added context and a little bit of juice to it so it would make for a better headline for non-Australians. Did I add some anti Trump sentiment? Sure. Did that misconstrue the content of the article? No.

    I understand the current rule makes it easy to mod the place, but it also means you don’t let the OP add context for Lemmy. The rule should be: you can’t misconstrue the content of the article.

    Anyway, I appreciate all you mods do and I respect the rules that are in place.
