When people say shit like that I really want to just piss on them and tell them I don’t believe I’m pissing on them so it’s obviously not happening.

It’s mind boggling how many people exist that insist reality is wrong. As if just wishing or believing something hard enough will magically make that the truth.

This themakes the USA look like we’re a bunch of petty bitches. WTF is this bullshit, cowardly border agents. Seriously we’re a kakistocracy with a bunch of elected officials and appointed officials that are thin skinned pussies.

I know many people fucking morons

That was meant to be a reply to another post you’re right. Not sure how that happened. Whoopsies! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: this was meant to be a reply to a comment on here about how the Dems/Republicans are the same where dude threw in a bunch of links to “show” stuff that the links didn’t actually show. So deserved down votes I suppose but will leave this here.

Not sure if they have a terrible memory, I think you just have poor reading comprehension. Just glancing through a few of the articles you sent trying to “gotcha” some poster(s) here shows you didn’t even read them. If you did read them you did a bad job understanding the material.

Just for the deportation example: Biden’s deportation and immigration enforcement was not the same as Trump’s now. Biden was aggressively going after actual criminals and he was working to create a path to citizenship for folks that have been here illegally for years and put down roots and contributed to our economy. Now we’re seeing ICE rounding up people for nothing more than their skin color and a “suspicion” they’re not documented. So, just straight up racism.

You included an article where the Dems wanted to keep the green party off a ballot, ok … And? They’re not trying to keep people from voting or suppress the vote. They were trying their best to not have a spoiler candidate on the ballot and felt that aligned with the state’s election laws.

Anyways, I wouldn’t call the parties the same when you can just look at what policies and legislation passed under Democrats vs Republicans. Easy example - the affordable care act.

Unfortunately true. Worth reading that snopes article just to see how much fucked up stuff was actually happening though. It’s not a mischaracterization to say they stole from kids with cancer through self dealing.

Idk I’m on lemmy.world and it seems fine? I think it’s just the default for most people since it was one of the earliest if not the first instance, would have to look it up.

Oof. God willing you’ll be proven wrong. I’m afraid you won’t be though.

Is this actually real? What the fuck USA, what did all these Trump voting morons get us into…

This isn’t snitching, this is a person who parked their vehicle dangerously and getting a ticket or towed would probably go a long way towards changing their behavior. Sometimes it’s ok to get 3rd parties involved when you’re unable to solve it yourself. If someone has the money for that dumbass truck they have the money for a parking spot for it.

Like it’s their fault for owning it and parking it there.

I get your sentiment, I just feel like in this case the person who has that truck is really just plainly wrong. But I do agree with you, I will talk to my neighbors or really anyone to try to resolve an issue before bringing anyone else in.

I guess the NYT no longer has an editor on staff? Who the fuck let that go to print, also who writes something like that into an article - that little paragraph where the NYT claims that “industry experts” said Chinese girls are better at assembling phones reads like cringe AI slop.

I feel like literally one person proofreading that should have been enough for them to go, “maybe don’t print the stupid racist thing about small fingers.”

It’s fine, nothing at all wrong with using just camera vision for autonomous driving. Nothing wrong at all. So a few cars run off roads or don’t stop for pedestrians or drive off a cliff. So freaking what, that’s the price for progress my friend!

I’d like to think this is unnecessary but just in case here’s a /s for y’all.

If it isn’t satire that person must be insufferable irl.

McDonald’s would be a hell of a lot cooler if they were funding Satan worshippers. Can they bring that rumor back and confirm it this time please?

Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she’d change nothing about his policies.

Well I think the problem is people perceived others as getting poorer or worse off but the economy was humming just fine and unemployment reached record low numbers iirc.

Like, in general terms, people did not get poorer for four years under Biden - but if that’s what people think, regardless of the actual truth, that’s what they’ll act on.

I don’t think you understand “the way the economy actually works” if that’s your take on how our money works and how govt spending works.

Also, if we’re talking about the USA, every state has some legal provisions regarding a balanced budget (except maybe VT?). So the state governments do account for having the budget balanced>

You’re right we run deficits in our budget but that doesn’t mean there isn’t debt being accounted for. You’re basically saying that our money magically ceases to exist when it’s collected as tax and that’s just wrong full send.

Do you think there is a fundamental difference between you spending $20 at the grocery store vs the government spending $20 (through EBT/SNAP/WIC benefits) at the same store?

The only difference is how the money gets accounted for, it’s still circulating through people’s hands. It doesn’t just magically cease existing because it was collected via taxes.

No I don’t think it’s the case everywhere in the world. I think in the context of this post clearly I am talking about the United States of America.

I never said I’m cool with people doing it and I’m not opposed to more restrictions on hate speech in general but I didn’t write our constitution.

Oh God is that something someone can do … How …uh … illegal is that? Like would I get in trouble from the police? I’d love to go on that platform and just make up stupid racist shit to get (horrible people) to give me their money. That’s gotta be the most positive form of grift possible.

Bro if it was a hate crime to openly support racist ideals in public do you think the KKK and Nazis and whatever other hate groups would be able to march around in public espousing their horrendous views?

You are very much allowed to stand around with a Nazi flag and shout hateful shit into the air. It’s when you start directing it at individuals and saying things that could be construed as a threat or hate speech that it becomes a problem.

For the most part though you’re free to say and wear whatever you want for better or worse.

And listen, I wish it was a crime to openly support racist ideals in public but that’s just not the country we are.
