“you believed my medical lies once. you’ll fall for it again!”
Why did all the replies get removed?
Probs because the dude legit runs the FBI now?
Modlog says “argument nuke.” But it doesn’t look like either of the two users who’s argument was nuked were being uncivil about it.
Once again: Your job as mod isn’t to shut down arguments. It’s to keep them from devolving into insult slinging or rule-breaking behavior.
It did get uncivil into insults. There were personal attacks.
Correct
@WARRIORESSentials lol thats how i read it first. Got surprised but the feminism by guys lioe this
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha This guy just discredit any future movie involving an FBI agent for the next 75 years. We knew america had a under-education problem, but man you guys are something.
pls get me out of here
Refugee Application: Yes, belonging to my home country risks personal harm
Germany just had a sweeping far right election, and Argentina has had a libertarian at the helms for a bit now. A ton of south Asian countries have had hardcore conservative views for a while now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada shifts right next election. There are basically few corners of the earth where populism/right wing ideology isn’t growing and expanding. This isn’t an American education system problem, it’s world wide. The political elites in your country just have you convinced that it’s America that’s now the problem, which then creates a new wave of populism in your country. It’s a self eating snake.
Not that I’m disagreeing that our slapping of allies isn’t problematic. This is just something that is clearly growing everywhere and the people of Lemmy love saying “America bad” as the same exact shit is happening in your country. If you’re an American expand your news beyond our shores. The grass is unfortunately turning to shit everywhere. We’re in for a rough decade together.
Let’s be clear here, the right extremist party got over 20% which is really bad for sure, but the mid-right party rules out working with them in a coalition no matter what. That’s rather different from where the rest of the republicans and many democrats fall over themselves to do whatever the lunatic fringe says. Further, the American billionaires are strong influencers of these trends in other countries. The core of the disease is the USA even when there are symptoms everywhere.
The mid-right said they wouldn’t work with them, but as we have seen that means absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the
SDPCDU broke that and started working with AfD. Maybe it’s just me being cynical.I’m not going to disagree that our power projection from the US isn’t a power boost to other right wing governments. I just think that to claim this is solely a result of poor US education when we can see this happening elsewhere in so called better educated countries means it isn’t really the predictor they’re claiming it to be.
The mid-right said they wouldn’t work with them, but as we have seen that means absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the
SDPCDU broke that and started working with AfD.I’m also very worried about that, but it’s another point of difference - there were historically enormous protests (tens to hundreds of thousands per city, well over a million total, more than a percent of Germany’s total population) several times recently because CDU looked like it was slightly cooperating with them with an informal and unbinding agreement about immigration. These protests had the support of the churches, the sports leagues. Various senior government figures support outright banning the AfD. It would not be as easy for them as in the USA, where everyone immediately capitulates.
But yeah I agree it’s a political difference and not just about “education”, you’re totally right about that.
The Swedish mid-right also ruled out working with the far-right. Until they had to to gain government control.
I agree it’s a huge concern and I also absolutely don’t trust the CDU, and especially Merz, as far as I can throw them. However I’m just saying that the situation is not identical to the USA, there are some points of difference.
Last I saw (as in, a few mins ago), all the major players were refusing to talk to AfD.
The US is literally in control of fascist now, it’s not nearly as bad in Germany, not that it’s good but there is a big difference
If we’re saying things are “not that it’s good” then it sounds like there is a rightward shift. Which was my point. America isn’t alone in this trend. To act like it is due to some lack of education was the original OPs point and I simply disagree with that based on the current trends of countries around the world.
I mean that is a fair point, but AfD got 20% of the vote and are likely not getting in the coalition, proportional representation and all that
Thanks, I’m hopeful for Germany that they can keep the AfD at bay. I’m hopeful that Americas former allies make enough of a turn on us that the people here realize we messed up and I’m hopeful if we return to decency here that we didn’t burn up all of our credibility. A lot of Americans aren’t Trump supporters, but certainly there is a decent amount that is and it disgusts me.
The centre right in Germany won, the afd came in second
The CDU has also made it very clear they’re not going to work with the AfD
Argentina has had a libertarian at the helms for a bit now.
milei is not a libertarian, he’s a generic hard right conservative.
You mean a libertarian? Yeah we know. The dude is currently wrapped up in a memecoin scandal is oeak libertarian dude
No, libertarians are on the right, assholes etc but we need to be fair to them to expose milei’s lies.
He’s anti abortion and is not going to be introducing any new freedoms to Argentina. The libertarians claim they are pro abortions, drugs and anything else… For a price. And anything…
If you mean US flavor “libertarian”, you’re going to need to specify that
Idk what else you would mean by libertarian. The original (marxist) meaning is long gone and all the right-wing larpers are just as bad as Milei if not worse. There exists no libertarian who isn’t just an authoritarian fascist.
Idk, a quick search shows that the President of Chile, apparently, is a left wing libertarian. Unless he’s also secretly an authoritarian fascist?
I guess nowadays every political ideology ever is just a facade for yet another right wing authoritarian shithole.
capitalism is the common denominator here.
fascism is capitalism in crisis.
Although you have to admit, it is near impossible to get such a perfect dream team of scammers elsewhere.
Didn’t the German election end well? AfD isn’t in charge, and the winner is pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia, and pro-EU independence of the US.
It depends on the coalition that gets formed, does the conservative party go with the center left party for 4 years of stagnation or break their word and work with the fat right.
They have done the later already on emigration, passing a non-binding resolution (with only one conservative vote against) and narrowly losing on the second round because their own members of parlament didn’t show up to vote.AfD walked away in second, but jumped by nearly 9% over the last federal election. That’s a huge gain in momentum.
Germany just had a sweeping far right election
you can’t say 20% a ‘sweeping’. The situation is worse at other places. And thanks to true multi party democracy, AfD probably won’t be in government anyway.
I hope so for Germanys sake. A 9% increase from the last election, for a party that’s 12 years old… that’s pretty sweeping to me. Not to mention that it’s more so the southern parts of Germany that have an even stronger percentage of AfD support.
Again, I’m not wanting a right shift for these countries, but it’s become clear that things are. We could stick our head in the dirt and say it’s only America, but that wouldn’t be true, and that’s what I was getting at with my comment.
Party is new, ideology is old.
At the height of its power, the Nazi party made up less than that percentage of the population of Germany. It doesn’t take much to ruin it for everyone.
Case in point: US President Donald Trump, whose approval rating has historically hovered around 30%.
Those of us with front row seats to the shitshow hope you’re right, because even just last week, my dad was saying, “It could never happen here!” when I brought up how the playbook Trump is using is the exact same one that Hitler used.
The US has an inefficient electoral system for president. It’s not uncommon that low approval people win
Those of us who have better systems things go better.
The cope is strong with this one. “There’s other people being dumb too!”
Yup, and the source of this is disinformation from adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran being laundered through US social media companies to made to appear legitimate. Well I guess TikTok isn’t American (yet) so I guess China somehow got into the game of laundering disinformation too.
And the trend is actually incumbents losing power, not necessarily a right wing shift. You see the disinformation can be a blunt tool so it just results in people hating their own governments. The UK had an election where the Conservative party lost… as they were the incumbent.
But nowhere has the government been turned over to greedy businessmen to the degree the US has been. Argentina has their President briefly promoting a memecoin, sure, but he may face a lot of repercussions for doing that. Fun Fact: the Argentinian memecoin was launched by the same people that launched $MELANIA, and no one in the US cares about it nor do they care about the $TRUMP memecoin. It’s open season for grifting Americans, because it’s the gritters that are now in charge of everything in the US.
But go on making excuses for why it’s all ok. I’m sure that will result in fixing the problems in your country.
The incumbents are losing to whom? Certainly not their own parties. You bring up the UK which is an outlier of recent events, but was a predicator of the future with Brexit during their right wing shift. Brazil could be another, but Bolsanaro is still an active threat as are his supporters.
But sure, just say “cope” and it automatically makes my comment wrong and yours right!
What word describes what you’re doing better than cope? You’re coping with the embarrassment of what your country’s becoming. Which would be fine, but trying to make it be about other countries rather than facing up to it, that just makes you part of the embarrassing state your country is in.
And yeah incumbents losing is a well known thing… here’s a link to the first article on the results from a simple search: https://abcnews.go.com/538/democrats-incumbent-parties-lost-elections-world/story?id=115972068
Also here in Canada, the Conservative poll numbers are dropping like a rock. The Conservative are now running a ridiculous number of adds to try to claim Carney is the same as Trudeau because they got nothing other than the incumbent disadvantage that’s become the global norm. The US idiocy is serving as a cautionary tale and making people turn away from anything resemblance of it.

I guarantee he doesn’t actually believe this shit. He’s just a grifter grifting just like the rest of the Whitehouse circus cast. The only exception might be Robert F. Kennedy Jr. That freak show might actually believe the shit he spews.
That freak show might actually believe the shit he spews.
He may, he may not, but the brain worm does, and he’s given to its will.
Sorry, some of us did what we could…
Sure, but does it have electrolytes?
It’s got what
plantsidiots crave!
Ah, the USA is so fucking doomed unless as a people we push these facists and grifters out of office.
bit late for that
No it’s not. It’s not too late to start resisting, but every day that ticks by makes it harder.
The time for “just vote” is long gone. Now people need to actually do something.
The Republicans currently hold 218 seats in the House of Representatives. The Democrats hold 215. Two seats are currently vacant and will be up for special election on April 1st. If the Democrats win those elections then it reduces the Republicans’ lead to a single seat.
That’s cool.
The executive brand doesn’t care about laws and will do things they’re not even allowed to do.
Ah well. Better just give up then.
Oh, sorry, “do something.” With a plan like that you can’t fail.
Now might be a good time to consider using those guns mentionned in your constitution…
That’s always the struggle, just like marching up to the manager’s office to demand better. Yeah you all get fired up and heated in the break room, but when you actually hit the stairs, can you trust them to follow? Or do they just want to complain and keep the status quo?
This irritating effect of individualism and mistrust is why we struggle to cooperate. There’s so few unifying ideals anymore.
The other problem is a simple matter of logistics. How do you actually make your stand to do something good, and not just be a group of easily snuffed rabblerousers that get quietly put down, or worse, hurt the people you’re fighting for?
Idiot fascist movements seem far easier to motivate because you simply need to ask “Hate something? Hate everything? Blaming someone else? Show up and scream something to feel like you matter! Violence not guaranteed but encouraged.”
True, we’re collectively against President Musk and his weird little orange purse poodle, but nobody understands practical tactical leadership to actually gain any kind of momentum. Everybody’s just trying to simultaneously shout over the crowd or worse, infighting each other over superficial ideals.
It’s bleak.
We can legally dislodge them if we fight very heavily to install sane people in local and state levels, but the limp noodle Democratic Party must be seen as a broken better-than-nothing tool at this point. They won’t save us, and they need to be replaced as soon as possible with something that’s up for the job.
Lmao. Good luck with that. You have had since November to gear up for that. You cowards won’t do shit.
I was planning on starting a website that will “use your device’s wifi to purge any 5g nanitesfrom your body” with a “cleansing signal” for only $19.99. (For entertainment purposes only - there are no health benefits guaranteed or claimed by this site)
You forgot to mention AI somewhere in there.
Faux (hopefully I don’t get banned like on reddit) news hates AI, so I don’t think that would help
Are they not supporting tech bros, and nvidia line must go up?
Naww… Fux News loves to hate on AI and claim it’s frying our brains
In musk’s deregulatory hellscape, the disclaimer is likely not even necessary now.
A future in federal criminality looks better and better.
This guy should be, at the very least, removed from office. I don’t care if it’s handcuffs or a body bag.
Fuck. I just want to thanos snap away all the republicans. The absolute worst people.
Me: “Surely it can’t mean that… Oh… Oh no. Oh fuck.”
Is the logo really just a penis between your legs

You can also reset your immune system by contracting measles.
C’mon anti-vaxxers, if you really want to get rid of your current immune responses, there are ways of doing that. Just take a trip to West Texas.

These people literally don’t know what mRNA is, they believe it’s the same thing as DNA because it sounds vaguely similar. It’s good to see actual experts calling him out though! We really need more of this.

People being clueless about mRNA is an abject failure of the US education system.
Shedders? Do these people think vaccines are contagious?
Yes, pay attention to mention of “shedding”. They think that vaccination causes the PT in question to shuck it off as though they were Pigpen from Charlie Brown cartoon.
they should wear a mask, so they don’t catch it
preferably a solid one
It’s not even applicable to most vaccines.
Basically polio spreads through poop, and this is your shedding. Oral Polio Vaccine does this as it’s a weakened form of the polio virus and exhibits the same spread and provides vaccination indirectly to others. The US uses E-IPV, which is inactive and harmless and doesn’t have this spread.
You’ll only find OPV being used in countries with very inadequate medical access as it can be administered orally(hence the name). Only downside is that if you are very immunocompromised, there is a non zero chance you get polio and a chance you suffer from paralysis.
Flu vaccines, covid vaccine, literally anything else doesn’t have this “shedding”. It’s literally one vaccine that isn’t even administered in the united states.
I wish people understood the differences between types of vaccines more. I despise the “vaccines good” Vs “vaccines bad” thinking. Each of them are separate treatments and like any medication have pros/cons for each individual recieving them. I think a lot of people learn about Jenner and the smallpox vaccine and assume all other vaccines work the same way.
Well, the grifters don’t. The multitude of morons they’re scamming do.
Stupid as it sounds, yes
https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/may/06/debunking-anti-vaccine-hoax-about-vaccine-shedding/
Yes.
Were you assuming these people understood even the basics of what a vaccine is?
Vaccines can shed (sometimes we have to add that as an seondqry endpoint to clinical trials), but not even remotely in the way these idiots are saying.
Does anyone else see a limp dicknballs as the logo on the pill?
Hahah, I didn’t before you pointed it out. It’s perfect, a small dick and a loose old man sack as the logo for “warrior essentials” manly alpha man supplement scam.
Not proud of it, but I saw a steroid clit instead.
