Isn’t as one-sided as you regarding a war in another country

Dems pandered to an Israeli government that was actively campaigning for their opposition. This wasn’t just “your anti-genocide views are simply too extreme for the average American voter”. It was “Netanyahu is funneling Russian money and propaganda into the Republican campaign apparatus while you keep telling him he’s a good boy on national TV.”

Talk about leopards eating your face.

The lesson is that people don’t have the time or attention to fact check, and frankly I think we should have known that.

Why bother to fact check any one thing when it means hunting for the single edible chocolate in a pile of rabbit shit?

You can’t even fucking Google an answer anymore, as the AI generated response is trained on all the bad data that’s bloated the system.

Objective morality in terms of universal human rights and behavioral science can be integrated into a better regulated social media, for example. It just has to be more appealing somehow and easier to access. It also has to be sexy and come with some status, and other benefits.

I would settle for it being a view that won’t get you expelled from a college campus, primaried out of an elected office, or purged from a high profile business position.

All this reporting reminds me of the “But actually this Man on The Street Hated Brexit even though he voted for it” slew of stories.

It’s all just nutpicking. You’ll find far more Muslim Trump voters who don’t know who any of these people are. And you’ll find plenty who are clapping like seals, because they’re just as Murdoch Pilled and MAGA headed as their white peers.

Earth’s surface is 2/3rds water and that’s not changing.

But intense heat means more storms with stronger winds and heavier rain. Imagine a Cat 5 hitting the coast every year.

This but unironically. I’ve got a coworker who took vacation days to help build a temple up in Pennsylvania. He was incredibly proud of his contribution and happy to participate.

The idea that medieval peasants somehow had more free time than the average modern american still is absolute bullshit

Paleontologists will tell you otherwise. One reason you had all those giant cathedrals going up in the Medieval Era stemmed from the enormous excess labor just wasting around in between harvest seasons.

Agricultural surplus creates free time. It’s the whole reason why people opt for farming over hunter gathering.

There’s a staunch libertarian view on Lemmy, wherein people will advocate for personal liberty ahead of technological progress. The Country Mouse has it better than the City Mouse, because he can own a gun and drive a big truck and smoke weed without the neighbors ratting him out to the cops. The lack of basic amenities - subways and school systems and high speed internet and big medical centers - is worth the increased personal autonomy.

The “Serfs had it better” trope takes this to its logical conclusion. Rolling back the technological frontier 500 years is worth it, because the surveillance/police state and the corporate oligopoly even on the fringe of society is seriously that bad.

I don’t agree. But I can’t really argue against it. This is just a personal preference. Its not any kind of objective truth.

So you’re not really a serf if you’ve got plumbing? The labor relationship with your employers isn’t the issue?

The dark cowboy rides again.

Are they? I see the comments still full of them.

Stuff doesn’t get cheaper, only more profitable. Trump will subsidize stock prices while the price of eggs and milk continue to climb.

The Constitution gets shredded regularly. It’s a failed document.

We weren’t trying to elect Bill Clinton

Clinton was a major campaigner and bundler for the Harris administration. And he’s just the most blindingly obvious example. David Shor, Harris’s campaign chairperson, is also a well known creep.

the fascists have already been given enough rope to hang themselves.

It’s a long road from 1933 to 1945

His in group loves to frequent strip clubs and prostitutes. One of his more high profile stunts was to pay for Brandi Love to attend a GOP convention.

He’s not in it for dating. He sees women like fast cars or fancy gadgets or big houses - just another commodity to demonstrate your status.

Also ignores the power dynamic at play. The boy while complain to his Trump-loving teacher and the teacher will call the principal and the principal will call the police and the police will come and arrest the child and then take her to jail where other cops will rape her.

And if you talk about the epidemic of child abuse in police custody or the long history of sexual violence by cops, you’re hurting the Democrats in the next election.

Remember, both sides are the same.

Thumbing a picture of Jeffrey Epstein besides Bill Clinton and Donald Trump

It’s just more social media posturing. Making a spectacle out of something people have been doing out of necessity.
