  • Bullshit. The Republicans are the fascists in power. Being angry at them is the default, nothing to say. The Democrats can be either resisting or enabling. People have every fucking right to be mad at the enablers who should be resisting.

    Your comment is the equivalent of saying "yea the crime in my city is caused by criminals and corrupt cops, but it's mostly the criminals, so look why are you eating up the propaganda that you should be mad at the police?".

    As non-maga American voters you guys need to be holding your enabler Democrats to account. We, the rest of the world, know the Republicans are beyond your control. Your fucking Democrats though? That's on you.

  • The emperor is naked.

  • One thing I've noticed with Lemmy is that it feels way more like a social bookmarking and commentary platform. I see fewer posts that are "original content" here than for example Reddit.

  • I'm just saying it the laziest, easiest way to create a "fait accompli" without technically attacking a NATO ally. From the point of view of NATO, it then becomes a territorial dispute similar to those between Greece and Turkey, or the Whisky war between Canada and Denmark. It's the easiest way for Rubio to keep him happy without blowing up NATO.

  • He won't invade. He will just declare Thule base and an arbitrary amount of land "around it" sovereign territory.

  • Shit if that works, get him to create single payer universal Trumpcare.

  • How do those make Trump's ego feel better though?

  • God forbid the word "framers" also included the badasses who abolished slavery and kicked white supremacy in the teeth.

  • The US political system is antidemocratic (Madison) and should be replaced.

  • WTF man, I just want a fucking browser.

  • With respect, whether it's different for the rest of the world, that's not for you Americans to decide, it's for the rest of the world.

    Fwiw, I actually agree that it is different.

  • It was actually the fascist policies enacted by the trumpist extremists in power.

  • At moments like these we should all take stock, reconnect with our humanity, take a deep breath, hold that for a moment, step back and remember that Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Parkland shooting survivors of being paid actors.

  • You seem to assume that mergers and acquisitions are not an essential part of a market economy. Left to their own devices, capitalists will always end up trying to form monopolies. You need a strong regulatory state to keep them in check. But then because they are inexorably pulled towards maximizing profitability, they will try to capture the state and deregulate. So, unless you go to a very aggressively anticapitalist set of policies a market economy will never be "functioning" for long.

  • So the American Otto Strasser is a woman.

  • Wow, thank you!

  • The Empire will strike back folks. Brace yourselves and don't self-congratulate too much, the real fight starts now. Good luck, American friends!

  • Right? Wrong?

    I asked you a question, I didn't make an argument or assert a position.

    This is surreal. It's like:

    You: why does everyone say good afternoon when it's only 12:30?!

    Me: what time zone are you in buddy?

    You: you didn't answer my question!

    Me: I mean, China for example is all on the same timezone regardless of how west or east you are.

    You: FINE. YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M WRONG. HAPPY?

    Me: wtf man, I just asked you your fucking timezone.
