Why would it matter?

There are people here who believe that North Korea and China are actually amazing places to live despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. We’re talking people who, in one thread, discuss discrimination in the U.S. while espousing the virtues of fucking China on discrimination. To remind you, China is an ethnostate. For us to be like China, we would need to secure white dominance in the U.S. — because that is what China has done with the Han.

These people would cause a genocide or worse. And they’re fucking all over Lemmy. I wouldn’t limit myself to anything on Lemmy for anything other than Linux advice.

I do consider myself lucky in that regard, as well.

Unfortunately, yes — I agree. It has never been easier to convince people of ‘the truth’ than it has today. There’s an argument to be made that it’s never been easier to debunk bullshit as well, however Brandolini’s Law is still very relevant.

I’m sorry about your brother, and your parents. My mom is the only sane one in my family left, the rest are Trumpers or centrist liberals.

I understand the reality of what you’re saying.

However, and this will seem harsh, it is stupid not to question the things you’re being told. It takes a stupid person to allow themselves to be convinced to vote against their basic interests for the low, low, price of getting to be racist. It doesn’t matter if your entire world tells you otherwise.

I think that there’s been more than enough time for these people to look into the man they’re supporting, definitely more than enough to sift through ‘fake news’.

See how that seems completely fucking unrealistic to expect from any MAGAt? Lies and propaganda work because the people absorbing it are actually too stupid to determine the truth and need someone to think for them.

I have a sneaking suspicion you’re in the wrong post dude

No I think using memes featuring the guy’s real face are important.

Huh, I’m amazed - I wasn’t exposed to any of that. I’d only seen the memes about it afterwards.

What happened with Snakes on a Plane? I’m only aware of the movie.

As always, trust but verify. I was telling people here for months that Kamala hadn’t won yet and everybody needed to get out and spread the word on Project 2025.

We saw what happened, and we see a lot of opinions here on Lemmy. Trust but verify.

Copyright law is messy. Thank you for the elaboration.

Doesn’t quite make sense.

You’re telling me that someone can get popped for mistakenly visiting the dark side of the internet and having whatever-the-fuck horrible shit put on their machine, but owning the content and hosting it on your servers results in nothing?

‘Man up’ ahh answer

I respect that, I just try to provide context. It’s often misinterpreted, and I do succumb to emotional responses — but my goal is to make sure those that are justified approach their goals with a clear mind.

I’m not advocating for the rich. I just want people to make the right decisions when it inevitably comes to the point where we need to decide what to do with the rich. I don’t think we should treat GabeN with any more respect than we owe the poorest person, is all.

First step to getting away with shithead behavior is convincing a group, any group (but preferrably one marginalized), that you’re representing them.

Idk, there are tons of good things that have happened from rich people doing stuff. Hell, that’s the reason medicine progressed — if nobles weren’t terrified of dying, who knows how long it would have taken to figure out that bloodletting with leeches doesn’t work?

I don’t think I need to point out all the bad things that have happened because of the rich.

They’re here too
