Most people don’t give a shit about politics. They hear some rich fuckwad say “Mexicans are stealing your jobs” and “Haitians are eating chihuahuas” and “The schools are changing Timmys into Tinas,” and it’s oh my god they gotta vote for Trump. It’s not intellectual, it’s reptilian.
How do we get through to them, all the victims who know they’re victims, but never figure out who’s victimizing them? That’s the insolvable riddle-me-this-Batman.
If you can’t have your way, let the world burn… Gotcha.
That is literally the rationale for lots of people. I've heard it spoken verbatim, and heck, when I was young and stupid, I said it myself. It'll hasten the collapse and move us more quickly toward a glorious new future!
Exactly. So the issue of genocide in Gaza is effectively moot in the 2024 election. Both sides are pro-genocide, so decide your vote on other issues. Trump, of course, is better on exactly none of the issues.
Rich white folks will do OK, though.
Boeing effectively is the US military, so it's in zero danger of going out of business, no matter how incompetently it's run.
Also (sorry, but old guy here) the nozzle sometimes unexpectedly sprays sideways. It's no worry if you're sitting down, but if you're standing up you might've just wet your pants... or the pants of the unlucky schmoe at the neighboring urinal.
Harris: Let's do not enough about climate change.
Trump: Let's burn the planet to the ground.
Blocked, grazi.
I don't know, but NASA's going to CLAP BACK!
It's a sadness, but I also have occasional issues with Firefox. It's still the best browser by far, but its share is so small, more and more developers aren't testing their pages in Firefox any more.
Doesn't make no never mind to me. If a page doesn't work in Firefox, I can do without.
It's the first advertising I've seen on Lemmy, and for my eyeballs it's not a welcome intrusion.
Jeez, I hope Lemmy and the fediverse will be powered by enthusiasm and donations, not by advertising.
Both sides do it, both sides do it...
