What the hell will take their place? Another Soviet Union?
People have gotten sick and tired of r/pics having loads of political content, and while some candidates are better than others, many people are sick and tired of seeing “orange man bad” yet again. The people who were supposed to be propaganda targets immediately knew this was propaganda and the rampant election posts didn’t make Harris more popular. If this plan is enacted, people will see the astroturfing straightaway, and more people will see Trump supporters as bothersome cultists than as freedom fighters. It doesn’t help that, if pro-Trump people can brigade the sub, so can anti-Trump people, and the whole debacle will just get shut down.
This is just sad. How will this not get people sick and tired of it?
Lemmy is not malfunctioning like Reddit is. It is not reliant on a dogshit mobile app that constantly breaks down; it is not overrun by reposts; it has no excessive advertisements. And there is far less manufactured outrage and misinterpreted socialism on Lemmy. And that’s not even getting into the fact that is is an app. Hooooooooly shit, I just hate apps on a smartphone as a maxim. That tiny fucking phone screen makes writing comprehensively, and citing sources, like trying to stack d10s using woolen gloves. It has all sorts of trinkets and rewards for browsing the damn app too (I suppose the admins know they have to goad you in), and any third-party apps trying to solve these problems were left without support. “No better” my fucking ass.
From what I’ve heard, Boeing weapons that don’t get built are even safer!
Would this endanger national security? I was going to say so, but I’m not sure about the details.
And the reason things are so bleak is because most people only have words to go off of, rather than actions.
Showing up to a protest is also an action. So is smashing someone’s car. Do you think you can feed the hungry purely by posting thoughts on social media?

I blame the attempt to make devices user-friendly. Convenience kills skill.
I hate it, but it’s preferable to Anarcho-Capitalism.
Yeah, Drumpf is too old for office and can’t understand how money works imo. It’s not even the Dictatorship On Day One deal. Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte could, at least, solve a great many of their people’s problems. Drumpf and Vance aren’t even doing that. It’s a bit exhausting having almost every U.S. politician cramming into the D-Party, but after this whole fiasco, it’ll split up.
Nah, just fucking draw it you cowards.
Who the fuck is disliking? This is it. We need to apply the pressure after Drumpf is taken care of.
I’m not looking for the People’s Democratic Equitocracy, I’m looking to save the United States from its own folly. It’s just one nation. All the U.S. has to do is stop the arms shipments.
Look, I will tick the Kamala box. I do indeed believe that Trump is a bad candidate and will oppress many people. But I don’t want people to feel like this shit is normal. Back in the late 1970’s to the 1990’s, nobody would have thought that both parties would end up supporting the same genocide, with one being a little less pumped. Or maybe even the 2000’s, when the War on Terror was thought to be conducted humanely. We have lived in an imperfect world before, along with millions of people, and politicians self-selecting for ambition and ego, and there was nobody calling to wipe an ethnicity off the face of the Earth. I’m not surprised at the Dem party, I’m surprised that there are fascists in the White House and I’m supposed to just accept it as a normal part of democracy. Well, I won’t! Both parties in the United States supporting a genocide requires voting to solve, but it’s purely abnormal! I’m not wanting a world any better than a world we used to have, one where the United States did not conduct ethnic cleansing!
We live in a nation with the Internet, fast food wherever you go, products that arrive at your door when ordered, touchscreens, full 3D videogames, V-Tubers, the Moon Landing, nuclear reactors, and the White House lighting up in rainbow colors to support LGBT+ rights–yet when asked to stop a genocide, it’s suddenly too much to ask. I would give up so much of these fleeting pleasures to protect human lives. Should I just become a lotus-eater, and neglect the outside world to “act humane”?
…without Israel Iran will run roughshot over the middle east killing loads of people.
Israel is, as of 2024, running roughshot over the middle east, killing 40,000 people.
Then we can go back and forth, I’ll ask two questions, you’ll answer one of them with some bullshit.
This sounds oddly like the debate surrounding Vietnam during the war, and comprises a lot of debate on the United States of America being the “world police”. As for me, the United States has failed to be any sort of world police. There is incredible polarization in its political parties, several territories that are governed yet cannot vote, the last two presidents both lying and suffering from old age, and a well-known problem of candidates being paid off. If the U.S. cannot be run well internally, it has no business meddling with foreign affairs, which includes giving weapons and troops to Israel. Despite the cruelty of Israel, there remains a bigger problem to solve–that being an incompetent nation having an excessively high military and an interventionist outlook.
I think Generative AI should just be scrapped. Nobody needs hyperrealistic photos and videos, or chatbots, or any of that shit. The main problems of the world are not technological, but legal. Too many laws are enacted for the benefit of robber-barons, and unless they are scrapped, I have no faith in my legal system.
Thanks for clearing the misconception. Are there any books on this you’d recommend?
