Our whole society is broken. We need a shift to collectivism. This rugged individualism bull shit idea our society has embraced is a recipe for weakness and collapse. It’s been happening since we moved away from the collectivist attitude popularized during world war 2. Humans are pack animals.

I used to have the same issue with lemmy.world - it’s the instance

Massive wars will break out over climate refugees invading the least affected areas. Billions will die and those left will be trying desperately to rebuild society. Nuclear contamination will be a real problem after nukes are used by middle East countries completely out of fresh water that Western countries are hoarding. Corporations will be outlawed after Nestle attempted to create a water monopoly and massive revolt saw their board murdered in public by a mob. Humanity will be 1/10th the population of today.

Gerrymandering doesn’t directly affect presidential races, but it does affect them. States that were gerrymandered to Republican super majorities created rules to make voting harder for lots of democratic areas. They limited ballot access and purged voter roles in blue areas. It also affects the electoral college. As part of all the other tactics, it all made a difference.

Trump won by 1.5% and the media acts like it was a Reagan-esque 1980 sweep. They had to gerrymander for decades and launch a massive misinformation campaign to get this outcome too. Plus Biden had to be one step into dementia and punt to unpopular Kamala (who lost her 2020 primary attempt) last minute to help this small victory. Yet everyone is acting like this is some massive referendum and America fully swung to the right. These sycophantic tech bros are showing their bellies awful quick.

I’m sure all the money AIPAC gave to Trump has no impact. We know Trump to be such a non-transactional person. You drank a big ass glass of the MAGA koolaid dude. Netanyahu and Trump are very friendly, I’m sure he wants to make it look like Trump brought a cease fire for optics. Israel is losing support all over the world, even in Israel, they were pushing towards the optics of a cease fire for a while. You wait and see what really happens. I’m sure the author of the Muslim ban who constantly decries negatively towards Islam is going to stand up for the poor Islamic state over the rich lucrative Israeli state. 🤦🏻
