It seems like an exhaustingly complex set of boundaries to keep and tends to create winners and losers out of third parties if the boundaries are rigidly followed in most cases. I think being that secure is somewhat admirable, but it also seems like a devastating fall to make if things don’t work out. Different folks have different ways of doing things, I think it’s fine, just not for me personally and I definitely wouldn’t want to be the 3rd party to it either.

The ones who ask questions instead of just sucking his dick? Interesting takeaway

Seems to not be a coincidence that every time a bunch of rumors pop up specifically about the insurrection act, media is kicked out of the building.

Endorsing tents on fire is kinda the establishment way right now, whether they’re filled with their own constituents or babies in Gaza. Republicans are hemorrhaging support because they are being exposed as standing for nothing right now, and if the Democratic party wasn’t led by people who also stand for nothing the shift would be monumental. Instead we’re losing them to Nazis or they’re able to jump straight over the establishment freaks to get to the left.

To be clear, I don’t mean liberals as the establishment. Chuck and Jeffries aren’t even able to stand for liberal values. Trans rights fit squarely in this category and they’re fucking cowards.

I’d put my money on their next bright idea being, “losing is good, actually.”

6 justices saw how Trump refused to follow orders after ruling Mahmud had to be returned from El* Savador and said, “More of this please. Cuck us some more.”

You don’t seem to get that activists are usually a small portion of any population with a strong opinion. To put this another way, NYC has a very high jewish population and among them, Zohran, a mayor who has not been shy about what he thinks about Israeli war crimes, is more popular than Netanyahu, while you’re callously inferring dual loyalty. This trope is antisemitic and, while it has been used against other groups like Catholics as well, it is predominantly levied at Jews by far right racists and zionists who fantasize about coopting the entirity of a victimized minority, which they have not done and never will. By repeating them you’re playing their game and helping zionists. Zionists love antijewish racism because it fuels their tropes as cry bullies, so do better if you really hold the views you’re concern trolling over. Also fwiw, in the US most zionists are evangelicals. Maybe your Israeli company wasn’t the best tuning adjustment for how people outside the fascist bubble feel.

Jewish voices for peace… like the most famous activist group fighting against the war.

The traditional pov for blowback being a good thing is that it suppresses the populations thirst for more violence and forces some humanity into them. In this case I don’t know if humanity can be reintroduced through such subtle means as having to buy bottled water. The other element is that Israel is a big bully beating up on a largely defenseless party. Anything that comes back to the bully will be returned 10 fold in violence unless others step in.

With “friends” like these…

If you think about it, the best way to stop a momentous beast isn’t to focus on the momentum, it’s to focus on the head and where it’s going and then the momentum fizzles out on its own. Republican mantra has always been to make government as ineffective as possible so they can look at government and correctly assess that it’s ineffective. Previously they worked to starve departments of resources, and they’ve already done that to the extent that it wasn’t even legal. New strategy in Trump and beyond is just to appoint clowns and make the world’s biggest clown show in each of their respective agencies. The anti-government shit writes itself when you’ve got the likes of Malory McMorrow saying, “Medicare for all means someone like Trump would control it, do you really want that?”

Switch to his controller and swap yours to CPU obviously

I think it’s good to normalize politicians talking about their health struggles.

She should be more scared of a noose around her husband’s neck when he’s convicted of crimes against humanity and treason. Jk she hates that loser too.

The person allowed to survive. In other words, the same approach whether Vlad wants to retire or not. The best thing that could theoretically happen to Russia is that some absolute buffoon with Vladimir’s endorsement is propped up and it causes a civil war between the mercenaries and the army.

Very cool effect. 7 year old me would take a bite

“Maybe pick up some bananas too? What do those run? Like 50 bucks?”

They’re not like us and the worst thing that can happen to them in their own mind is to become like us.

Can’t keep up production on tomahawk missiles? Put your money into space weapons. Makes about as much sense as anything this admin does, which is that it doesn’t until you see who the investors are.

Just FYI, lemmy.world coms are 18+ only. This isn’t going to hit too well, and also you are likely violating that rule.
