OprahsedCreature,

On the one hand, better you know what they collect about you than not. And as long as you use a streaming service they’re collecting data on you.

On the other hand, streaming services are inherently wasteful and lead to pointless and excessive power usage which contributes to climate change, not to mention the privacy concerns, all of which could have been avoided by reasonably priced buy-once-own-forever media.

OprahsedCreature,

while preaching about Western values.

No, that tracks

OprahsedCreature,

Britain showing ‘lack of respect’

Also, the sun is warm

OprahsedCreature,

All this working is not working

OprahsedCreature,

“Free Country”

OprahsedCreature,

“In North Korea, if you say the wrong thing or speak out, they’ll jail you for 14 months, even if you’re a senior citizen”

“Ms. Park, didn’t they just do that in South Korea?”

“…also every 39 minutes they stab your balls”

OprahsedCreature,

Nazis?! On Reddit???!!! 😱

OprahsedCreature,

Gonna have to ease them into that one, a lot of Lemmy still isn’t ready for that bit of history.

OprahsedCreature,

“In other news, ice is cold”

OprahsedCreature,

Early human history and the Falkland islands. But that’s it.

OprahsedCreature,

And the lord is back in his fiefdom

OprahsedCreature,

Then he’s a popular lord

OprahsedCreature,

That you don’t see the problem

OprahsedCreature,

If they could combine that with weather protection and more public transportation the car might finally die that final sweet death.

OprahsedCreature,

Guess if Dems didn’t want that they’d give another candidate a genuine shot, but ol’ Genocide Joe needs his legacy. This’ll be it.

OprahsedCreature,

any new candidate would get absolutely swept by Trump

The current candidate will get swept by Trump. Or have the polls changed recently?

OprahsedCreature,

Incumbency advantage is too critical to give up.

At this point, what advantage? He’s been polling worse than Trump. He’s more of an anchor than an engine now.

That being said, voting harder won’t ever move America to the left, that has to be done at the grassroots level.

With Dems there’s always an excuse to do nothing and hope really hard for vague change later.

OprahsedCreature,

Incumbency advantage persists. Swapping to a new candidate would likely be worse, even if the candidate is better, purely based on electoralism.

I’m sure many people will be comforted by that when he loses.

Yes, the dems do nothing. This is better than Republicans, who do a lot of bad shit.

Read up on the Ratchet Effect.

What fixes issues is grassroots praxis.

I too, like vague undefined concepts that obfuscate real potential solutions.

OprahsedCreature,

“The French, who understandably set shit on literal fire when the retirement age was lifted, were utterly bewildered by this borderline English-level protest.”

Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?

2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...

OprahsedCreature,

“Every president has backed this genocidal state. Why try to stop the trend now?”

OprahsedCreature,

Or, and hear me out on this, it’s a vote for the green party.

OprahsedCreature,

I do want a dictatorship…of the proletariat

OprahsedCreature,

old and centrist

You forgot to put “and genocidal”. Which I guess is centrist in Amerikkka these days.

OprahsedCreature,

😉

OprahsedCreature,

“becoming”

OprahsedCreature,

but at least they aren’t constantly being approved of by the KKK and being touted by mass shooters.

Just the IDF and Likud, which shares nothing in ideology or methodology with them.

OprahsedCreature,

Found the Aussie 🦘

OprahsedCreature,

Princess Chelsea invites you for an audience

OprahsedCreature,

“asked”

Yep, found your problem right there. It’s your argument, full of holes, it is.

You don’t ask a genocidal power that you’re supplying to stop commiting genocide. You tell them they’ll stop or best case scenario (for them) they’re on their own. Worst case scenario (for them), you stop them yourself.

OprahsedCreature,

Because if there’s nothing else you can count on an American president for, it’s them being a standard-bearer for ethics.

OprahsedCreature,

Let’s assume you’re right. Why would anyone vote for anyone committing genocide? Voting third party or abstaining would be your only moral option in this scenario, otherwise you’re complicit. At this point the number of dead Palestinian children is conservatively 4000. If you contribute to reelecting a leader enabling that, their blood is on your hands.

OprahsedCreature,

Huzzah!

OprahsedCreature,

Glory to Owlbear 🥸

OprahsedCreature,

One fash

Two fash

Red fash

Blue fash

OprahsedCreature,

🤞

OprahsedCreature,

Bret? Is that you?

OprahsedCreature,

is there a Linus 2?

There was but Carmen Ortiz took care of that little problem, if you know what I mean 😉

OprahsedCreature,

That’s a good time to showcase your ability to do exactly what they wanted the whole time: Turning right

OprahsedCreature,

You know it’s bad when even Germany is getting wise to the game

OprahsedCreature,

To be fair, they had a Nazi in their parliament much more recently than the Germans had

OprahsedCreature,

“Times Writer Forced Out and Charged With Possession of a Conscience”

OprahsedCreature,

No idea what you wrote initially but thank you. Concise was the goal but accurate and grammatically correct are pretty nice too.

OprahsedCreature,

It is a little confusing isn’t it? I’m sure it wasn’t intentional, but for my part I’m glad I read the article before commenting.

OprahsedCreature,

The Onion has had the best takes on this so far

OprahsedCreature,

Imagine if the US actually had to consider the impact of its actions

OprahsedCreature,

To be fair, those Palestinians have been dying very anti-semitically.

OprahsedCreature,

…okay I’ll bite: Why squirrels?

OprahsedCreature,

No no comrade, don’t you see? It’s not about actually working to make a change, but looking like you’re working to make a change, you see?
