    Interesting that such a fucked system exists that could allow the 50/50 chance that who wins an election could singlehandedly decide if everything is fascism and genocide or not, with what appears to be no real checks of power in place.

    And you choose to blame those who have nearly no control over said system.

    Lemmy is also a tiny community relative to other similar communities online. Lenmy is also not even just people in the US. You also don’t know how many of those posts were trolls or bots.

    It sure seems to me that the larger system and set of choices are completely fucked to begin with and gives the “people” next to no options or say in much of anything.

    But yes. If Lemmy people had not slammed Harris… then… something might have been… different?



  • You need to realize the privilege you have to say this. There is a mass erasure of people going on.

    Acknowledging the world has issues, and active removal of that acknowledgement is not just fucking “politics.” It’s about humanity. It’s about respecting people. It’s about progress.

    This is being done to appease the same fat shithead nazi who is scrubbing Trans from the government. Who is stoking fear into the lives of millions because of the ACTIVE effort to suppress them and their concerns.

    And this isn’t only a US issue. There’s been a clear push towards fascism worldwide for a while.

    You don’t see that because you have some kind of privilege, or you just idiotically have your head in the sand.






  • Some people put way too much stock in “common sense” as some blanket assumption and insult to lob at anything and everything they don’t like.

    They internally define what they believe to be “common” and everything that deviates is outside of that. They use it to fuel their own sense of self satisfaction and smugness, while additionally fueling negativity and hatred for others.

    It fuels their toxicity and comes to define their view of everything, which is typically grossly oversimplified for their own needs.
