This will involve educating people out of their neoliberal positions and ideas but it can be done.

As I get older and meet more people, I find this goal harder and harder to reach. People are dumb.

I think it starts with a smart and leftist, populist candidate, who can convince the dumb ones amongst us to follow them blindly. Then they will be educated by seeing how better things are for them under leftist leadership.

Bernie, like you said, was basically trying to be this for the US.

For real. Dudes got 15-20 years left on this Earth, at the maximum. Stopping Trump and actually making sure he is charged for his crimes would be quite the footnote in the history books. I can't imagine being that old and passing an opportunity like that up, but then again I am a simple prole.

It's really weird to make a blanket statement like that because different people have very different salaries and expenses. Especially in reference to the US where these things heavily depend on the state a person resides in.

Putin will probably have him killed if he doesn't follow the plan, but I have a feeling Trump wants to follow the plan regardless.

Putin/Russia doesn't have this power. I don't get the conspiracy that Russia is controlling the US government, when the shitshow in Ukraine has shown the incompetence of Russia on a grand scale. If anything this power dynamic is the other way around. The US has way more power and resources to make Putin disappear than Russia does to do the opposite.

I do think you are correct that Trump just want to be allies with Putin and follow his plan. I don't think there is any coercion involved in this except maybe financial and diplomatic benefits to Trump. (for example, election interference/social media psyops)

Basically, if Trump wasn't on board with this and allowing this conspiracy to happen, then Russia wouldn't even be relevant here.

hit that one RFK fan we have on Lemmy with it

Idk why, but this made me laugh so hard. I know I have seen the elusive Lemmy RFK fan in a thread somewhere.

That's a horrible outlook, and I'm sorry you've been driven to that point. I understand, as I have been there before.

Now that I'm older, I realize that pulling the lever is the right thing to do as much as it hurts. I don't think letting apathy win and watching the government go full Fash was the correct choice, but I don't blame you, or others who decided the same. The system isn't going to collapse, though, it's just going to get a lot shittier for awhile.

I am close to the same age and something feels different now. The Trump administration is many levels of degenerate beyond the Bush administration. Even Dick fucking Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris FFS. I think Trump is pretty far beyond neocon, unfortunately. Just straight up Fascist.

The Neocons may have started rolling this snowball back then, but it is an avalanche now.

Assault and battery are tools used by terrorists in terroristic ways, though. It can be both.

This isn't on the same level of terrorism as a whole group doing the terror, but it's still terrorism by definition, because it is politically motivated. This kid assaulted this old lady in order to terrorize her from exercising her political rights.

Works for now...

They have stated they will be slowly removing v2 extensions for users instead of removing them all at once. So, they just haven't gotten to you yet. You will have to switch to use ublock lite, and it's not as good.

Even if it does work for now, idk why you would want to support the company trying to get rid of necessary extensions and remove any sense of ownership of your own browser, like Google is doing.

Just switch to FireFox and get it over with already.

I would say you are right, because all the playable legends are able to be bought with the free currency you can get by just playing the game.

I guess some people could make the argument that paying players have faster access to new legends and legendary finishers, etc. I would say this is more like "pay to skip some grinding" than "pay to win".

Dude, you don't know any of these people or what they do IRL. To go off like this for no reason is just some insane people stuff. Get some help, and get off social media if it makes you so upset that you create little stories in your mind of what people do or don't do with their lives.
