because the war on drugs has proven to be a great thing…

true story.

so the NATO that he trashes all the time, and wants the US to abandon, won’t help him in his entirely unnecessary War that he’s thrown his country into, purely in an attempt to divert attention from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein… How surprising.

makes me feel better in a way, knowing i at least had a purpose. even if that purpose was to make someone else’s purpose seem more meaningful.

im not surprised by anything at this point. he is an evil piece of shit. We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the awful shit he’s probably done.

2 days later… still waiting.

I’ll be waiting for your explanation of when and how it was worse.

Tell me when and tell me how.

And I’ll just add, you people, who are minimizing how bad things have become are only making things worse by nurturing a culture of complacency.

theres a difference now though. the rich have amassed more wealth and power than ever before and technology has multiplied that power many times over. In countries like the US, the fascistic and oppressive systems that have been put in place have become nearly unbreakable by any realistic means. A civil war is not realistic without outside support from other countries. And that’s not realistic. Smaller countries can have revolts because they don’t have the systems the US has in place. They aren’t militarized and policed to even a fraction of the amount. The US public only worsens the issue because it has been purposefully de-educated over many decades. We are staring a steel reinforced dystopia in the face and doing nothing because there is nothing we can do.

The world has not been this way before.

wow, and i didn’t even notice.

I don’t think people are fully seeing how catastrophic this is going to be.

exactly how i feel. literally said something very similar to my wife last night. I fucking hate AI. I think activist group are going to starting popping up hard against it. And if they aren’t already, they really should. This shit is destroying our world. The only people this is helping is billionaires.

considering the state of the world, politics really should be inescapable. everywhere. not just lemmy. not just reddit. not just social media. everywhere.

people trying not to pay attention are allowing evil to go on uncontested. you are showing a lack of empathy and self absorption that is ruining the entire world.

what is this? a 4x game?

SEO?

yeah i never expected an answer to this.

that’s not a good reason when you consider all the shit that trump is guilty of. Trump is far more evil than Hilary even if Hilary is a worthless corporate shill. You are blaming her for losing? Thats more the public’s fault than it is hers. The American public is fucking moronic.

first time ive ever said something like this, but really, if the dems give us another corporate shill candidate, voting for a 3rd party candidate that has no chance might not be the worst option. maybe the country really just needs to fully implode, maybe that will finally break it out of its complacent stupor. Though, I doubt it.

she was always the “lesser of the evils” candidate. For once the dems need to actually give us a good non-corporate fueled, actually, socially aware and empathetic, candidate. Otherwise the party is done and its probably for the best.
