It’s just history. That’s all we’re seeing. This shit unfolds over and over again, just to a slightly different tune.
Nah. There probably isn’t a single GOP fascist out there, at least to their own minds. They’re just going with what makes sense, gets them power. Unfortunately we’re at a time where fascism is what gets them power.
Lemmy is the most censor happy media I’ve ever engaged in. Sure, we can cherry pick subs like /r/conservative, /r/latestagecapitalism, /r/pyongyang, etc., but my overall experience with lemmy has proven quite the echo chamber.
Look at our (dead) /c/conservative comm. Nothing much crazy there, certainly nothing hateful or bigoted. Blasted into the sun. Hell, there were many articles and posts that deserved thought and comment. Nope. Straight into the sun. Even a brand new post, with no politics in the headline, downvoted at birth. I swear there were people patrolling and downvoting every item they saw.
But no, lemmy’s too smart to fall for that horseshit! For those that agree, let me point you to an old friend of mine:
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
That’s the most famous line, but y’all should read the whole book. Short as can be, yet packed with wisdom as to how to fight, and mostly, how avoid fighting and still win.
Tellingly, the last and most important chapter is “The Use of Spies”. But you guys are too smart to listen to the other side, let alone spy on them. Keep winning?
Had a nice long chat with a customer at work about what all she’s growing, how she’s doing it. Talked about cars and what her and my wife drive, how well they worked out. Very pleasant.
As she was breaking off the conversation she said, “And we’re taking America back! Isn’t that great! We’re taking it back!”
I had no idea how to reply, strange for me. Taking what back from who and how and what the fuck does that even mean?
Yes. They’re that dumb and they’ll keep being dumb until the consequences hit them in the face. Personally.
1.6M cash hoard
Cash is liquid, the theoretical home in question is not.
Agreed. I’d vote to drop property tax for those over 65 and under a certain income limit.
We’d park my buddies Mustang on a hill wherever we went in case it wouldn’t start. LOL, everyone made fun of him saying it was a Pinto. (<- it was this, but really, really shitty)
I feel this post in my old bones.
Bringing back the classics! Great-grandad had one, he’d be right at home.
They know, believe me, it’s their whole job. They had contingency plans good-to-go before the election. We the public are just now hearing this bubble up to the top.
I’m wondering if fake intel has started being passed.
This is old advice. Today we teach to kick 'em in the nards.
(LOL, you already know what video that is.)
Doesn’t matter, Musk will sue anyway.
Every civilization rises and falls. We’re on the down slope ATM. Sorry. The 80s and 90s were pretty nice in America!
I believe that only applies to ink jet. You can hardly make secret dots in B&W.
And you will be the one deciding what constitutes hate, whose voice to cut off?
Why discuss anything at all? Why ask any sort of question in a forum? After all, we can just look everything up.
