Insert I’m tired boss meme here.

Nah, they got guns just for school shootings. /s

I believe in pragmatism and not letting fascist take over for free.

You see, you can still protest and make peaceful change with the mediocre and not fascist candidate. Good luck surviving with the fascist one. That’s what I’m arguing that the left is horrendous at pragmatism.

Yeah, like you vote the mediocre and not fascist candidate and you can still protest. But if you vote (or don’t participate) the fascist one then you’ll not be able to protest and suddenly the genocide might be coming home.

Yeah, the “leftifts” that didn’t show up for those “reasons” are as bad as the magatards and bear the same responsibility. As a leftist myself (not in US though) I curse the absurdism of leftist politicians and electors and their puritanical behavior that can’t seem to do real politics.

The story and graphics are top notch, but at times can be pretty grindy.

Most of us do the same. I haven’t heard anyone in my circle of friends that praises facebook for anything but keeping in touch with people.

While I appreciate the detailed reply, I don’t share the same views. I think ultimately we will more or less merge with technology, rather than be on separate paths. I’m more worried about the 1% having overwhelming control of said technology than anything else.

I’m also not very human-centric in my world view. If we are adaptable and smart enough we will prevail, if not, we will perish as countless other species before and after us. That doesn’t mean I don’t hold dear to our achievements over the millennia.

Technology is not anti human in itself, rather humans use it antihumanly. AI is both in a bubble atm but has some promising future. Also there is, I think, nuance between using AI as a corpo or as a person. Personally, I don’t see a problem if you played around with some genai shit to see how your photos would look like in certain style. But I strongly disagree any corporation/profiteering using this method.

Doesn’t matter for the Orangutan at the white house, we would rather trash the country than to admit he is wrong.

So stagflation?

Grapes of wrath scenario all over again?

From the ashes maybe a better internet will emerge then. The current one is very dogshit and only going worse.

In a fair world he would be rotting in prison or hung and stripped of all his wealth for such treacherous acts.

Because US seem to HATE anything remotely left of (far) right. This is probably due to decades of red scares.

“We just can’t stop winning”

People are dumb or plain retarded to comprehend the most basic and common sense things about cases like Trump. The same has been happening in Romania for almost 40 decades now: people keep voting fascists/ex-communists/thieves/incompetent people even id they are warned about it.

I guess once more and more content is posted here, naturally more people will come. And also any further steps of reddit enthitiffication will move people over.

Trump is at least a showman and it showed that a lot of people are braindead enough to believe him. This coupled with the apathy of the other part (afaik Kamala had fewer votes overall than Biden) got us here. The democrats, as with many other parties over here in Europe are fucking afraid to SAY THINGS OUT LOUD. I don’t know if that’s because they consider themselves too god for it or not, but it’s disastrous. Here in Romania the former president had less public appearances in 10 fucking years than the interim one we have had for the past ~2 months and we were on the verge of electing a russian puppet mostly out of spite.
