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.

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.

kill the job market, ramp up inflation… who could have ever seen this coming.

i feel like a lot of useless bullshit wouldn’t be made if managers and execs didn’t feel the need to validate their useless existence.

Fashion??? In this economy?!

frankly, im not sure what point this stupid meme is trying to make.

i liked it.

launching an attack on either mexico or canada would be just about one of the dumbest things he could ever do. you actually believe the people advising him are going to let him do something like that? Something that would endanger all of their careers and their current well cemented grasp on power. There is no way.

stop believing all of trumps distracting bullshit and start actually watch whats happening. he has no intent whatsoever of attacking canada. he’s going to attack blue states before he attacks anything. hell, he already is.

when.

what point.

how in the fuck do you think attacking mexico helps trump preserve his power?

thats exactly what he’s going to do. all these fucking people living in canada and mexico aren’t paying attention and they’re actually taking him at his word, which you should never fucking do, when he spouts some crazy bs about making canada a state or buying greenland or some other random shit.

you’re really piling on the bullshit here… im just gonna block you. bye.

Iran isn’t a neighbor and the US attacking the middle east is practically a habit at this point.

no.

Have you not been paying attention? Trump says a lot of bullshit. I don’t think you should be taking him at his word for anything.

I re-affirm my previous statement. I can’t even comprehend the idea of the US attacking Canada. It would be extremely stupid of him and I don’t think the people around his orbit would allow it because it would endanger all of them.
