Lol. Good job.

The stuff coming from r normaldayinrussia was concerning and this was pre election.

Welcome to America. I watched my dad get indoctrinated from ages 14 to 30. It started after a bad divorce and I often wonder if there was ever a real, living, thinking, adventurous, person under there. He has so many story’s of his extraordinary past but I look at him today and he’s just a cog collecting garbage. If I had the financial freedom he managed to weasle out through inheritance and disability I would break down walls.

Sorry, got distracted, my point is it doesn’t take a rabbit hole through some reddit link to fall into conservative media. They literally pump it out into the airwaves for anyone with a am radio to consume endlessly.

If there is any hope for future generations it will be the tradition of Americans to flip the table and fuck shit up. Unfortunately the GOP co-opted those types and are winning on that front too.

Will be interesting to watch their fall from grace. The ones who make it out. No more interesting then watching the fuck ups that escape the Mormon church, or anything of the sort, though.

Meh, it’s also usually useless. Much less useful then it had been in the past. I honestly have more luck with gpt then scrolling through dead posts with 1 response that I have to load twice because anything other than old reddit is a psychic attack that will wound me.

Tankies are pretty crazy. Will be hard to keep things from becoming a fight between tankies and fascists.

Just remember, end of the day, these are archetypes that always end in oppression. You should lend your support to people who don’t fit a mold. It might not be successful in its first iteration but through the iterative process it becomes the answer to an unsolved problem. It will have its own problems too. So remember to fend off bad faith actors best you can. A system designed to defeat authoritarianism will be weak to one emerging from inside.

I think seeing anything protrump hit the front page would be so triggering for anyone on there they would leave or have words. This is not a political environment where these two side can exist in the same space because one side is ok with authoritarian and xenophobic rhetoric.

I’m sure of nothing.

Be specific, right wing, authoritarian run, society.

They make women wear burqas in the middle east. The gnashing of teeth around here will be very unsettling.

The status quo has changed before. Civil rights did happen. The problem now is progress has reached the upper echelons of power and the scared white boys don’t want to give it up. It won’t be long before most realize power won’t being given without force.

I’m familiar with t_d. They have always been there but they would sequester themselves to right wing spaces. Election time they’d come out their hidey holes but were very easy to spot.

No, I was only browsing and only because the lag between lemmy and reddit is kinda substantial. They will get breaking stuff faster.

Reddit needs to switch because the right wing propaganda machine doesn’t like competition and wants reddit for itself. They aren’t going to Twitter it because it fragile enough, being mod run, to fall apart. Instead they will flip it.

Some of us never quit. It’s just annoying that everytime you bring up legit concerns its met with people defending the status quo. 2016 the status quo was drug to the town square and hung. I don’t care if you pulled it down marionette it around, it’s 2024 and a knife was stabbed through the heart of this country. Democrats still have the helm and they will do nothing, they will let it bleed out. All the power of the american government and they cannot weird it despite a lifetime working in it.

If democrats were even going to consider change they would spend their political capital, NOW. Since it is all gone come January.

Say I’m wrong and they can keep playing political footsy with NAZIs till the end of time, why, why, why, would anyone want that???

Working class people can also suck, tho. Remember all those stickers they put on the gas pumps blaming biden for the price of gas. Like, common you fucking fools, that’s ridiculous and you would never let your bitch boy trump take the credit for that.

Yes! New Zealand, we have a bunch of gar-- investors we think you’ll like.

Or even just starting the proceedings. Their counter argument would have to be so detached from reality and would undermine the decades they’ve been forcing originalism down our throats.

Did you read what I wrote?

The key point here, not to get distracted, taking the title is trivial in the modern age. The title has little meaning to someone of today. The hitch is that Altito is a profound originalist. When he interprets the constitution he claims the text should be interpreted exactly as the founders explicited intented. All together, taking the title against the prohibition of the constitution acknowledges what his real intentions are. By claiming to know the framers exact intentions, something that is clearly unknowable, he can inject his own interests as he pleases.

Sorry, I commented when it was like 6 points and top of new but whatever.

Let me know if there is something I can explain to you.
