Politicians are cheap, I remember once seeing a list of how much a lobbyist buys support from politicians for and the list was like $5k $2k $3k $6k. It’s ridiculous

I work alone, i make my own hours mostly, I see my supervisor once a week and my boss maybe once a year, it’s glorious as an introvert

Get some glasses and you got Milhouse

The gamers on Reddit are convinced that steam is THEIR corporation and Gabe is THEIR billionaire so they’re good guys of the people, that’s how propaganda gets people

Im in Canada and this discount store near me that sells clothes from liquidations, must have gotten a truck load cause they have my pillows for $5. I don’t know how they ended up in Canada but im guessing some trailer park boys style smuggling run

Oh I’m ready, but then you get shit on for not being a nice little peaceful protestor

As an old leftist who has become disillusioned, i wish the young generation would stop wasting time like we did and skip the protesting bit and go to guillotines. I feel like every new generation discovers the same injustices and jumps the same hoops, then they get jobs and homes and kids and that ends, new generation comes, repeat. We never actually make it past protests before we become unable to do anything more

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been referred to as a “male” or “man” or “cis gender male” and it doesn’t bother me one single bit. I generally just avoid people who get offended over every little “wrong” word

I think this is why I’m hesitant to travel there, i can’t handle snobs.

You don’t come out alive from those prisons and it’s gonna hurt more than bullets

You’re a prime example of the problem people here on Lemmy. No respect, no empathy, just vitriol and hate with a leftist twist. There’s plenty of right wingers but I ignore them so I have noticed the toxicity rise on the left in the last couple of years. Toxic , if you have nothing to contribute, no solutions to put forward, only throwing shade at anyone to feel big. The other side of the coin to the current American political climate, you’re not the good guy. Try talking to people and not getting angry, try realizing that your opinions worth isn’t determined by how loud and insulting you are.

If you have all the political leanings of Bernie sanders, but the personality and need to shit on everyone like trump, you’re still shit, even if I’m still glad to have you on my side. If you’re liberal, Democrat, communist, socialist, whatever just keep up the fight, but the fight is over there.

Why say anything if you literally have nothing to contribute?

🤦‍♂️

Strawman meme.

In reality you can agree with someone on a topic but disagree on the execution, and you’ll get called a fascist along with a bunch of personal attacks on your intelligence. Trump has infected everyone, even the left who now have become toxic as well. No ally is good enough, no leftist is leftist enough, and anyone even slightly to the right or even left of you is a “fascist”. This is very much an American problem, and I guess it makes sense how it happened, and they can’t see it from the inside, like us outside of the u.s can

Americans have proved that their “we need guns to stand up to an oppressive government” talk was just that, talk.

I literally cannot tell them apart from a fascist Maga!

Ai has real applications and uses that can help us. NFTs do not

Bukele built inhumane gulags, suspended civil liberties and tossed anyone who looked at him sideways into prison. All my relatives from El Salvador said “yeah but the crime rate dropped” if you point out that a good percentage of the people who were tossed in those holes without due process are innocent, and that’s unacceptable. And they respond with “yeah but the crime rates”. If you point out that once those gang members are used up, those prisons won’t close, they will be used for whichever undesirables he picks next, innocent or not. And they respond with “but the crime rates” We reached that point sooner than I thought, and now those holes are being used for innocent people and not even from El Salvador, and my relatives respond with “yeah but the crime rates”

This is how fascism thrives

As a Salvadoran I hope El Salvador is on that list

The word should be exclusively used to refer to Joe Rogan from now on
