  • About the pic and the "official FB page":

    MAHA == brainworm

    Your dough looks nice. What is raising it? And the color, is that rye?

  • No. Every bit counts. Of course this one thing doesn't mean you can lean back and claim the problem is solved. There is many different ways of fighting back, and they all need to be employed.

  • In 1984 they had to do it by hand. Now current events are rectified in real time.

  • It's Schrödinger's satire.

  • Lunduke is mentioned 10s into the video and Linux Sucks is his series of videos.

    ... "The end of Linux has already happened", and he's serious about it, complaining about pretty much everything.

    He's definitely anti-woke in all its colorful facets, self-confesssed "conservative" and hides behind constant "I'm not political" statements to continue pushing clearly political opinion.

    He is the Alex Jones of the Linux community.

    All this becomes very clear in the first 10 min of the video.

  • Everybody must jump onto the AI train no matter how often it derails!

    So who profits?

    The unholy alliance of tech giants and government.

    Who loses?

    Everybody else. This is US tax money being thrown into a money burning machine.

  • lol, ok. I was just trying to have a dialog.

  • As soon as I saw the name Lunduke - the Linux community's Alex Jones for at least a decade - just not sure how much parody and how much trolling this is.

  • there is nothing in the original comment that can or should justify firing

    no shit

  • This is what he got fired for btw:

    “Charlie Kirk says gun deaths are ‘unfortunately’ worth it to keep 2nd Amendment,” read the headline of an article Michael shared. He did not add any additional comment on it.


    And this is how he got back:

    a settlement agreement between Michael and the university, showing the school will dish out $500,000 and reimburse “therapeutic counseling services.”

    “APSU agrees to issue a statement acknowledging regret for not following the tenure termination process in connection with the Dispute,” the settlement reportedly reads. “The statement will be distributed via email through APSU’s reasonable communication channels to faculty, staff, and students.”

    And yes, he's working there again since December. BTW it's $500,000, not 50,000.

    Only because he fought back, I presume. Fight back, on all levels!

  • I can read the full article just by blocking javascript

  • It scares me that people are starting to take this seriously, because that just might embolden those idiots. This is not on the same level as Invading Yet Another Latin American Country. Stop treating it as such.

    My apologies to all Latin American countries, I hope you understand what I mean. Hell, the USA couldn't even invade most Latin American countries anymore as it used to do.

  • IDK. This still sounds a lot like Drain The Swamp.

    Maybe you need to clarify what exactly the problem is with Pelosi specifically.

  • "The best way to get rid of the fascists is to let them do it! It will clean out the system!"

    Did I read that right?

    You understand this sounds a lot like "Drain the Swamp"? Has it worked?

    I'm also remided of this quote from 2016 or 17:"They voted for the elephant in the china shop. They did not realize that they were the china."

  • I don't really have an answer to this minidiscussion, but to me it was eye-opening to learn about the Tea Party (early 2000s) specifically, how it was sponsored by Very Rich People™, even astroturfed, how its stated goal was the infiltration of the Republican party, and how of course all their ideology and demented ranting were very much the same as what we see today.

    And once my eyes were opened I started seeing it everywhere, going back in time: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, the very questionable influencing by so-called christian churches, Big Oil deliberately making kids stupider, etc etc etc

    And of course that's only the USA; I must admit I'm not so fluent in other countries, but surely we must see that assholes like Netanyahu or Orban predate Trump. There's also the Phillippines which basically experienced a Trump in 2015 iirc.

    tl;dr: Trump is "only" the culmination of something that we have since dubbed "Trumpism".

  • One of the letters from the U.S. Department of Defense, mounted in a bedazzled frame.

    🤣

  • I think this latest step in a series of equally horrifying steps fully supports the things republicans fascists care about.

  • It's horrifying, as anything coming out of the USA these days.
