im not surprised by anything at this point. he is an evil piece of shit. We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the awful shit he’s probably done.

2 days later… still waiting.

I’ll be waiting for your explanation of when and how it was worse.

Tell me when and tell me how.

And I’ll just add, you people, who are minimizing how bad things have become are only making things worse by nurturing a culture of complacency.

theres a difference now though. the rich have amassed more wealth and power than ever before and technology has multiplied that power many times over. In countries like the US, the fascistic and oppressive systems that have been put in place have become nearly unbreakable by any realistic means. A civil war is not realistic without outside support from other countries. And that’s not realistic. Smaller countries can have revolts because they don’t have the systems the US has in place. They aren’t militarized and policed to even a fraction of the amount. The US public only worsens the issue because it has been purposefully de-educated over many decades. We are staring a steel reinforced dystopia in the face and doing nothing because there is nothing we can do.

The world has not been this way before.

wow, and i didn’t even notice.

exactly how i feel. literally said something very similar to my wife last night. I fucking hate AI. I think activist group are going to starting popping up hard against it. And if they aren’t already, they really should. This shit is destroying our world. The only people this is helping is billionaires.

considering the state of the world, politics really should be inescapable. everywhere. not just lemmy. not just reddit. not just social media. everywhere.

people trying not to pay attention are allowing evil to go on uncontested. you are showing a lack of empathy and self absorption that is ruining the entire world.

what is this? a 4x game?

no it isnt

no problem

thats cool. still don’t care though.

goddamn this fucking talking point is spreading. Just yesterday I was watching a video where some maga piece of shit was questioning a streamer about why he thinks its wrong that adults rape 13 year olds. Pretty soon we’re going to have absolutely no choice except physical violence.

i feel like a lot of useless bullshit wouldn’t be made if managers and execs didn’t feel the need to validate their useless existence.

I would only argue against that definition in saying it is a bit dated. It is not the modern definition of the term.

How to get ahead in politics: Be a genuinely decent human being.

If only all of the other scumbags in politics didn’t make it so hard.

here i am in the US and i have no idea how the US fits the defintion. A high standard of living is an important part of the definition and when only about 10-20% of the population fits into that bubble, I’m not sure if the definitions fits.

the US is 1st world?

Fashion??? In this economy?!

frankly, im not sure what point this stupid meme is trying to make.
