Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • Actually I'm sure it's even easier for them:

    "It says no STATE and since this is coming from the federal government it isn't a state so it's totally cool!"

  • Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?

    Jump

  • I don't think we're headed towards that society. This was one incident. We've lived with the billionaire boot on our necks for decades and decades, I think people have become complacent if anything and the vast majority of us go to tictok or places like Lemmy to vent and then never actually do anything about it. We vote, the billionaire class candidate wins, and nothing ever changes. We sigh, vent, and go back to work.

    I wouldn't take this one incident to mean anything larger.

  • Billionaires: yeahhh I'm just going to buy all the media, all the politicians, and make sure enough of my guys win that they stop any legislation that would cost me anything. Nothing could ever go wrong with effectively taking away people's choices right?

    I'm thinking all we have left is roit. We've already lost the democratic process through propaganda outlets and bought and paid for candidates a while ago. There is no party for the working class. There is a party that likes to talk big, but when push comes to shove they don't do shit and have their chosen "enemy of the term" to pop up and take the fall to stop anything from passing.

I'm a politician, I don't understand what the hubub is all about? It's your fault for not knowing we're all pieces of shit!"

  • There's only one way to defeat Trump's billionaires boys club

    Jump

  • The problem is that the new media is being bought by billionaires and their personal interests. There is no one who will fund the "tax people like me broadcast company" for the left. All major media, whether new or legacy, whether right or "left" are a cudgel to beat the working class in the class war. The left/right descriptor is applied in reference to their stances on social issues that don't cost anything but nice cheap words, like whether transgender people should have rights.

    This is asymmetrical warfare. The billionaire class have all the means to propagandize and we have to rely on having some really good individuals hopefully get popular enough to spread naturally.

    While the issues of marginalized peoples are very important, as you can see from the exit polling most people of all stripes are concerned about economic issues (the class war) and no media will properly address that as it doesn't suit their desires (fabulously wealthy newscasters) or their owners.

  • "and saw in this future “possibilities of such enormous human progress as to stagger the imagination.”

    The next several decades would prove Luce right, as the United States emerged from World War II as one of two global superpowers and, arguably, the world’s preeminent cultural and economic force. Luce, who was a Republican, intended his broadside to serve as a template for conservative internationalism — in effect, a powerful response to the party’s isolationist, America First wing. But this concept — of America as a friendly goliath, the “Good Samaritan of the entire world,” promoting democracy, capitalism, trade and international order — guided the thinking of most policymakers and politicians across the political spectrum for the better part of a century.

    Until now."

    Barf...

    "Until now." Lol

    "possibilities of such enormous human progress economic consolidation as to stagger the imagination.”

    "this concept — of America as a friendly goliath, the “Good Samaritan mob enforcer of the entire world,” promoting democracy, capitalism, and trade and international order —"

    There, fixed.

  • What are your thoughts on billionaires?

    Jump

  • It's not so much the money, the wealth in itself, that bothers me about them, it's the mind boggling absolutely insane amount of power having that much wealth is capable of.

    They literally buy elections, they buy media outlets, by their actions they buy the direction entire countries take. They use their money to fund the actions of others that work on their behalf. They can create a literal army of individuals to work for them towards whatever end they wish to achieve. That's entirely way too much power for an individual or a family to have. Just imagine living next to someone who has a 500,000 strong army of militants just hanging out. Maybe theyre good, maybe they want to turn your neighborhood into a warzone for kicks, either way you would have no means to stop them.

    Just look at smoething like the "tea party" movement in the US. Grassroots? No, try Koch brothers funded with the intent to install Koch approved representatives into the government.

  • I find "hot" is better than "new." Still new enough so I'm not hitting the 2 day old stuff showing up in "active" and not completely flooded with porn, although it's definitely there.

    I'm a bit of a perv though so I don't mind some of it lol

    Slightly dramatic recreation of actual events. Fuck the dishonest GOP bullshit.

  • Funny enough the conspiracy theories were how I even got interested in politics to begin with! I always had a special hatred for Bush, but after being exposed to the 9/11 conspiracies I fell down a rabbit hole, crossed paths with Infowars for a bit, and finally dug myself back out to "reality" taking a brief tour of "maybe the Democrats actually give a shit about people."

    ...yeah. We don't actually have a party for the working people. Things are going to have to get rough for things to change :(

  • I think if anything the riots/strikes would be better than actual violence. Basically any direct sustained threat to their incomes will force some kind of change.. anything short of that and these people will just continue to buy elections and buy the people who run. Threats to life might make things worse, but I think the "ownership class" need to be reminded that they can only fuck around so far until they "find out." The only meaningful changes in society in relation to the owning classes came from violence.
