  • White South Africans gather in support of Trump and his claims that they are victims of racism

    Jump

  • You have confused the definition of “racism“ with “systemic racism“. A person, or a group, can be victims of racism without that racism having any realistic effect on them. Such is the case in South Africa. In cases, such as this, it is often a consequence of the actions of said group.

    Which, of course, feeds into prejudice. And prejudice isn’t always unjustified. Again, as with the white people in South Africa, they certainly earned that prejudice through generations of colonization and apartheid.

  • It’s also the shortest and most easily recognizable, which is most likely why it caught on. The fact that it’s a Russian/Slavic derivative is probably just coincidence.

  • Why do we sometimes have an itch that isn't relieved by scratching?

    Jump

  • It has been my experience that this indicates that the itch is actually somewhere else. When this happens to me, I just start itching all over the place until I find it.

  • Cops of lemmy, what's it like marijuana being not a big deal then all the sudden a really big deal then back to being like probably not a big deal to it probably becoming a really big deal again?

    Jump

  • I’d be very surprised if there were many cops here who would out themselves just to answer your question.

    If I were to speculate, however, I imagine that they don’t really care that much. Cops have other things to worry about, too, including a wide range of other drugs they can plant on “troublesome” suspects.

  • It’s a term that indicates a leader, and its origins are thousands of years before imperial Russia.

    It’s a derivative of the Latin “Caesar”, and many cultures have used the term (or its derivatives) to indicate a leader. Pre-Weimar Germany was led by the Kaiser, a German adaptation of the title.

  • Must was only one of the original founders, and I think the company could probably be really great if they got rid of him.

  • 'Are Your Grocery Bills Lower?' Ad Targets Soaring Price of Eggs Under Trump.

    Jump

  • If by “eggs” you mean “Nazi skulls“, then you might be onto something.

    Otherwise, no. Fascism is never the answer.

  • 'Are Your Grocery Bills Lower?' Ad Targets Soaring Price of Eggs Under Trump.

    Jump

  • Nobody who voted for Trump actually cared about lower grocery prices. There are racist, bigoted, xenophobes, who only want to hurt people they don’t like. And they love Trump because that’s exactly what he is doing.

    And that’s why this sort of attack won’t work. Because, even for those who voted for Trump, who don’t explicitly hate anyone not like themselves, they are delusional enough to never be able to admit they were wrong and to blame anyone who points it out to them for their troubles.

  • Zuckerberg's rightward policy shift hits Meta staffers, targets Apple

    Jump

  • It isn’t just one person. That’s kind of how this works. When one extraordinarily slimy shitty person starts grabbing power, it encourages a lot of other people to become worse than they are by giving into their base impulses and desires, fearing no consequence. Being a piece of shit is an infectious disease in a very real sense.

    It reminds me of religious people who asked me, an atheist, if you don’t believe in hell, then what stops you from committing crimes and murdering people? Well, I say to them, I’m just a decent person who understands the difference between right and wrong, and how my actions, especially selfish actions, can negatively affect people around me. I also possess the empathy required to feel bad when people around me are hurt by my actions.

    These people don’t ask those questions, and they were morally dubious in the first place.
