  • It’s not just blind hate, it’s a nation of under-educated racist bullies

    Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them

    Words have meaning, and when you say things like that, you lump us in with those scumbags. That’s exactly what the lunatics in charge want. Dehumanize us so the common person won’t care when they kill us. "Who cares if a bunch of gay people got shot? They were Americans, it’s their own fault for living in that shitty country in the first place. They all have guns, they should’ve shot first. "

    There are plenty of us here who agree with you and are cheering you guys on because we want to gut the current government just as much as you do. I hope Canada hits us with tariffs, and I hope it hurts. Because maybe then these idiots here will wake up and realize what they’ve voted for. I doubt it, but I can hope.



  • Elected by a margin of 1.5% of the vote, in an election where 2+ million mail-in ballots were thrown out, with black voters’ ballots being 9 times more likely to have been thrown out, and where more than half of the voting public didn’t even care enough to bother to vote.

    I’m saying have some damn empathy for us dirty American faggots and trannies who are likely to end up in a camp with no government to protect us - hell, a government that is actively hunting us down for sport.

    Or do you call German Jews Nazis as well? After all, the Germans made a choice. Hitler was democratically elected, too, you know.

    You sound exactly like the Republicans do when they talk about China, or immigrants, or black people, or…

    Don’t buy anything American, urge every politician you can to fight against our government, anything and everything you can. But don’t victim blame those of us who did and are actively fighting against the monsters the bigots and the white liberal masses put into power. I’m hoping for NATO to come and save us, not gun us down in the streets for being American.



  • No, it’s part of a longer animation where he pulls the mag, racks the slide, checks down the chamber to examine the barrel and chamber for damage, then flips it to check it again from the other end, before putting the mag back in, and putting the now cleared gun onto one of the stacks.

    Then he picks up a new one and begins the process all over again.

    He actually shows pretty good gun handling during the whole thing. Even with the slide racked, the mag out, and the chamber checked and cleared, he still uses proper trigger discipline through the whole process. Flipping the gun is really the only “rule of cool” bit of the whole thing.

    The whole thing is that he’s prepping 1911s for use to defend a tribe against an invading army. A lot of 1911s.

    My point was that you can buy one gun, or help the community to either arm themselves or teach them how to. I figured a reference to Joshua Graham and his famous scene of checking guns forever would be picked up since the quote “We can’t expect God to do all the work” was a big meme for awhile.


  • Did you know that for the past few years, the people of Myanmar have been fighting back against a genocidal apartheid government without any support from outside countries? They can get ammo and hobbyist 3d printers, but nobody is willing to send them any guns to use.

    I’ll give you an acronym so you can try and guess the redacted word: PSR.

    Buy a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he can feed a family for a lifetime. After all, many hands make for light work.

    Edit: The quote and gif are a reference to a Fallout meme involving The Burned Man, who is sitting at a table with a pile of unchecked 1911s on one side and stacks of cleared pistols on the other.



  • One thing to note about the US is that this funding directive means that funds will go to areas that oppose public transportation, as well as keeping funding from cities that could use it.

    During the creation of the national highway system (which, apart from destroying much of the public transport in the country, destroyed many immigrant and black neighborhoods and replaced them with highways), there was a designer in New York City who expressly designed the bridges near his home to be too low for busses to go under to keep black kids from being able to take the bus to the beach near his house. His words, not mine. This funding will go to rural, conservative areas, who hate bikes, buses, trains, and outsiders.

    Add in the marriage rate part (which goes hand in hand with the poor and uneducated), and the possibility of repealing gay marriage, and it’s obvious to everyone here that this is about denying funding to cities and liberal states, not actually improving communities.












  • Stop making centralized websites sound so good… banning known harassers and grifters before they can hurt people.

    Also, you’d see the exact same complaining if this had been a lemmy.world account. Nothing stopping her from making her own instance, but she won’t because she doesn’t understand how any of that works and it’s too much effort when she can just complain about being censored for her beliefs (to harass minorities or whatever).

    The centralized part of Bluesky is the node infrastructure that connects all the instances together. As I understand it, anybody can start their own instance, but they all run through Bluesky’s lemmy.world equivalent. I’ve seen plenty of people from other instances, but it seems like just a way to host your account off the main platform as far as I can tell from using the official app.
