Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4

      The outrage might be a little over the top, but the sentiment is valid. Click baity shit like this is why no one pays attention to the actual outages going on.

      If people are constantly seeing articles like ‘Trump didn’t say he would rule out pushing toddlers into wood chippers to combat climate change’ and the article goes on to talk about how he was asked about what he had for breakfast, then outrage is a little hard to keep up. I actually think that’s the worst/best tactic trump has used… Keep the outage going so steadily that people are worn out when the real stuff is out in the headlines.

        Uhh it was completely over the top rant. Thank God we have people willing to defend this level of hostility. Have you ever thought of joining the State Department?

          Oh yes, and thank God we are talking about a completely made up scenario of Barron Trump getting drafted instead of unimportant things like the war itself or the Epstein files. Wouldn’t want pesky things like that getting in the way of manufactured outrage for dumb shits like you to lap up.

          Oh I know! Let’s follow it up with an article about how MAGA is totally about to turn on Trump! Or maybe an AI generated image of Trump yelling at Hegseth? Oh I bet he’s big mad about that one! Who cares about reality as long as it sounds good and reinforces the pathetic-ass beliefs of the idiotic masses?!

            I am sure you give all this outrage to conservative leaning posts and this isn’t just a veiled attack on perceived ideological differences. Because frankly, I am not buying it and you are either an epic asshole or a conservative troll. Cheers!

              Valid criticism of stupidity that goes against the hive mind message? Must be a conservative! Definitely not someone who’s fed up with people, supposedly against misinformation, continuously falling for the dumbest shit imaginable!

                  How? Please spell it out. And remember, calling out idiots is not a conservative trait. Getting upset at idiots is not a conservative trait. Blindly accusing people who don’t say things you like of being conservative because you just can’t fathom the possibility of someone not blindly believing and supporting fake bullshit IS a trait of a fucking idiot.

                    Case in point, acting like an asshole must be a badge of honor or something for you. I will politely ask you to get bent.

      Seems to exist all over Lemmy. I’m new around here, migrated from Reddit just a week ago, but this kind of post would get downvoted into nothingness over there. Not for the message, obviously, but for the self-righteous indignation, the name calling, for just being one big spoiled brat temper tantrum. So far, it’s the only thing I miss.

        At least they don’t bleed in the form of transistor discharges. I’ll take my tempered fellow over the swarm, any day.
