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.

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.

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.

how is she as guilty as trump?

I don’t know about others but I imagine for a lot its just guilt by association. I’ve definitely been feeling it for a while.

I also think a lot of people feel bad about their tax money going into the pockets of so many evil people for so many evil purposes. One of the reasons I personally stopped paying taxes. I wish my fellow Americans would join me on that end, but it isnt easy.

how many trips have you made in a car? how many flights?

can we get this data “per trip”

because I have a feeling planes would not look nearly as safe.

no it isnt

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

i am so glad i already have a terminal illness. this world is fucked.

no problem

thats cool. still don’t care though.

Sorry, I mispoke on the healthcare. It is nearly free as they have near universal insurance coverage and their out of pocket costs are extreme fractions of what people pay in the US.

seriously, look at what ICE and trump are doing before you start throwing stones in your glass house.
