That… Looks incredibly dystopian.

No it’s not! Spiders aren’t bugs!

Really? You wouldn’t blame the millions of people that explicitly voted for a convicted, fascist criminal?

If Americans had any sense the race would’ve been between Stein and Harris, not between Harris and someone who shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a presidency.

I’m seeing a lot of “democracy is going to die” posts… But… I hate to break it to you:

America is not a democracy. And if somehow it is a democracy, then it’s an incredibly bad one. It’s the least democratic democracy in the Western world.

The two party system, the first past the post voting system, the indirect method of counting votes, lobbying, gerrymandering, the electoral collage. Systems to try and manipulate what a vote means. Systems that try to remove as much democracy from democracy as possible, while still being able to keep up some mock appearance.

Your whole country is fucked and backwards from the very beginning, and that wouldn’t be so bad. But if America does something we all have to suffer for it!

I don’t actually understand the purpose of karma on Reddit, beyond some sort of metric to feel good about yourself. It’s literally just a number and nothing else.

I’ve seen some people try to devalue what someone said because of “low karma”, so I’d say it’s a good thing Lemmy doesn’t have a karma system.

No, Americans like fractions. You should give that measure in fractions of a parsec.

Spectacular! Well done!

“Climate warming as…”, NO!

There isn’t a climate warning now that rivers are drying up. This has been a warning decades ago. This is what has been warned about becoming real!

Imagine being told by an American that my world view is tiny.

Well, the Iranian youth would certainly love it if the current leadership were replaced with something a lot less hateful and a lot more secular.

Yes. Yes you are the reason why people are anti-american. Kinda difficult not to be when the only place outside the “anti-american bubble” is far up some American ass.

Could you, like, not advocate crippling a country’s economy of who’s civilians are already struggling?

You want Iran to no longer be a threat? Than help Iran change. Especially the younger generations are quite sick and tired of living in an oppressive, religious regime and would like to very much see it gone. But they don’t have the resources to actually do anything beyond the occasional riot.

Yeah, because just mentioning someone using civilians as a shield is on its own bad enough. Anyone with half a brain cell would understand that’s bad without the need for specifically pointing it out.

We are 8 billion people on Earth, and rising.

I am insulted by your lack of culture.

Pretty sure “and others” is doing a lot of work here.

And since we’re dropping the civil language; you can fuck right off, you art defiler worshipping cunt. Maybe there’s a warm spot in the jail cell next to these idiots.

Climate change is a subject that has never left the spotlight. It’s more in the spotlight than ever, no thanks to Just Stop Oil. These guys are contributing absolutely nothing.

Right, I see you must have trouble reading.

There is no connection. That’s why it’s stupid.
