Do you think roaming bands of Leftists, marching on main streets in ever major city in the US, and taking over university commons from coast to coast, in defense of Islamic Jihadi terrorists seeing to kill half the Jewish population in the world in Israel, while screaming “From The River To The Sea” scared the bejeesus out of just Middle America, or all of it?
Well I can see where you get your news from, jeez… That’s an interesting reality.
“because it validates his assertion that American democracy is a sham—that there is no democracy. All that matters is power and self-interest. The rest is sanctimony and hypocrisy.”
…I mean… Is he that wrong? We vote for who the donor/ownership class allow us to vote for. Anyone else doesn’t even show up on the radar. There was an actual socialist candidate, literally the only place they ever showed up in “the news” was here on Lemmy. People are only exposed to those that will play ball with the ownership class.
Once someone like Bernie Sanders showed to be gaining in popularity during the primaries leading up to 2016 so-called “liberal left wing” MSNBC started running “Bernie loves Castro, Bernie loves communism!” stories to scare people into choosing someone else. One chucklefuck on MSNBC went as far as to say if Bernie was elected people “like him” (the wealthy news propagandist) would be put up against the wall, invoking the idea of authoritarian regimes and firing squads…
Republicans donors: “…and Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone, the world’s largest private equity firm.”
Not that there was any hope before, but now it’s solidified that we will not be getting any help with the housing market moving to a fully landlord controlled renters market… Goodbye homeownership hello neofeudalism!
“The bulk of the early vote count is going to be mail-in, or the bulk of the early vote count is going to be Election Day. North Carolina, it’s all mail-in. Pennsylvania, it’s all Election Day, primarily.”
Ughhhhh… Counting all mail in votes on election day in the “most important” state… That’s going to go well…
“When asked for further comment Microsoft fucknuts replied with: It’s the best part of being a monopoly in the PC market. Don’t like what we’re doing? Where’s the average user going to go, Linux? BWAHAHAHAHA! Hey normies, get fucked and feed my bank account! He then spat on the reporter and gave a small child the middle finger.”
I can’t really speak to Europe in particular as I’m an American and mainly understand American issues, but from the bits that I’ve seen it seems like Russia has been trying to influence the politicians of any country that “dares” to interfere with their intentions.
I would not be the slightest bit surprised to find European NATO countries have their own Russia manipulated politicians either willingly or unknowingly fighting against the release of weapons/money to Ukraine. On the opposite side we in America have a gigantic lobby that is solely focused on helping Israel, again I would not be the slightest bit surprised to find they too are operating in other countries that would help them (not necessarily a bad thing in concept, any country would want to have a lobby to petition other governments to help them. I’m not trying to be antisemitic or anything)
There is also the concept that Isreal helps as a “stabilizer” for the middle east. That’s the geopolitics argument, I’m not smart enough to know whether that actually works as intended or not.
Musk won of course…
As usual billionaires buy get their way. Too many people that aren’t brainwashed “conservatives” on there for his liking so he took it over and now look at where we are…
People are such scumbags on Amazon. If you aren’t paying attention and just quickly go to rebuy something like deodorant (like I just did) you can end up spending over $50 for 2 sticks… I had to actually go to the manufacturers page to find what I was looking for as I guess they changed packaging and all the assholes are charging insane prices for the “old style” package.
Pretty much. These platforms right wingers take over are propaganda dissemination devices, not entirely “for profit” enterprises anymore.
Exactly. I fucking hate microsuck for putting me in this position, but I pretty much only use my PC for gaming and watching stuff and the games I really like have this EAC bs…
“Just get a console then bro” lol… Lmao even.
Racist right wingers in the US: “We’re not racist! You people call all Republicans (conservatives) racist! Also, Kamala is a DEI fake black person.”
Most of the worlds conservatives: “FUCK YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM ME!”
It’s almost like most “conservatives” are racist assholes no matter where they’re from…
To be honest I just see people commenting here and there that xyz game didn’t work for them and they have to jump through a bunch of hoops for what does work that I just write Linux off for now.
That and I tend to like to check out early access games (cough star citizen cough) so I just dont want to limit myself just to give Mi€ro$oft the finger.
Also, (see early access comment) I’m kind of impatient so even though I’m pretty capable, the last thing I want to do is have to be an IT guy for my PC every time something doesn’t work lol windows is pretty good in that respect.
Pretty much the only thing I use my PC for is gaming so it really sucks that I can’t just dump them for Linux…
I don’t want some games. I don’t want to have something I’ve been hyped about be out of reach for God knows how long just because Linux support is crap as the market share is so low, but man do i hate Microsoft…
Yep! The hitchhikers books are so much fun lol
I still think one of my favorite lines is “the ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”
EA exec: I haven’t shot us in the foot much lately, I think it’s time we did some more of that.
Ughh… I have to talk to someone?
…I don’t know, maybe fascism isn’t as bad as they make it out to be, ya know?
:P
