  • Lemmy's political discourse when Republicans gutted the Voting Rights Act yesterday:

    Jump

  • Its shitty. Its still not the same. And also this takes a lot of blame away from swing voters who would swing right in response to Democrat fecklessness.

  • It's not though. The Democrats are feckless. You'll see them in the dictionary when looking up weaponized incompetence (OK that has a vaguely different meaning but you know what I mean). But if the right had never gained power, the momentum to lose these rights never would have begun.

    Doing something =/= letting something happen

  • Why are you saying this like it conflicts with anything I've said?

  • ‘Everyone wants to come to China now’: Chinese universities draw more foreign students beyond Western countries

    Jump

  • With the us and Russia in free fall, China is the assumed number 1 super power in the near future. And they've done an amazing job in the last 30 years developing the nation, lifting people out of poverty, and growing their soft power. But a population and housing crisis could really hamper things so its really anyone's game right now.

  • I'll argue democract are ineffective to a fault, even ineffective in a weaponizable way to punish their consitutients for straying from the center. Again, the bar is in hell. But they did not repeal abortion rights directly and never would have.

  • 'They’re Lost, Dude’: Jon Stewart Torches DNC After Democrat With Massive Lead Says He’s Heard Zilch From Them

    Jump

  • The interpretations of his reddit threads feel... Very generous.

    Here is this thread as p-hustle about the totenkopf. He responds directly to a thread discussing the totenkopf as a Nazi symbol, but he does not mention it directly but instead talks about the punisher skull. But also he has an acquaintance who said he used to jokingly call the tatoo "my Totenkopf" over a decade ago and who had text receipts of talking about platners Nazi tattoo. plus planters political director, Genevieve McDonald, resigned and said that the campaign had been aware of the tattoo since she joined, and that Platner himself acknowledged it "could be problematic."

    Then the rape threads. How does this sound like someone trying to "dispel any negative internal thoughts?"

    And since were doing reddit threads, here's a bonus where he talks about urinating on dead bodies as only bad due to the current state of media??

    Look, if I lived in Maine, which I don't so it doesn't really matter, I'd vote platner (even if what's her face democrat was still running in the primaries) because fuck the establishment dems and fuck Susan Collins. But I'm sick of pretending he has no red flags. Let's vote for him, but let's watch him like a hawk after.

  • People are taking about graham and not Stewart.

    For graham, I'm going to choose to answer this like you're actually not aware, but he has a history of having had a Nazi totenkopf tattoo that he said he covered up as soon as he realized it was a Nazi tattoo. Except his Reddit history and two acquaintances indicate that he knew for quite a while, for years even, that he had a Nazi tattoobefore covering it up. which also means he has probably lied about it.

    Additionally, he willingly, after being a part of the military and being part of an invasion in the Middle East, chose to join Constellis (formerly blackwater). He was not in combat but still supporting a military mercenary group like this is super sketch.

    Additionally, he has on his Reddit handle had comments in which he is very dismissive of rape and victim blamed quite heavily.

    This is all quite a few years ago and he claims that he's changed a lot as a person, but he has a lot of controversy and a lot of red flags in his past.

  • Personally, I'm not seeing the us do less coups. Just weaker excuses for the coups they perform.

  • They don't do it for benevolence. They do it for the soft power that appearing benevolent gives them. Fucked up motives but still a net positive.

  • See you say the same shit as repulicans but thats literally what the post is about. Democrats were never going to repeal abortion rights or the voting rights acts.they were never going to start an oil crisis or a trade war and tank the economy the same way. They were never going to support ice the same way (they actually just held out on a partial government shutdown and exceeded my expectations in doing so). Saying that they do the same is a straight up lie. And I'm not saying dems are perfect. The bar is in hell. But they aren't doing the same.

    US and Israel launch strikes across Iran as crowds celebrate new supreme leader

  • Yes. The reaction of the Persians I know is shifting a lot. First they celebrated, but I think they are feeling the same whiplash that Iranians did in 1979. The cold war never stops repeating the same story.

  • This is how I feel. I'm enjoying Claude and paying but keeping a close eye. Its nice because it really enables me to do things I am not capable of on my own. I teach as part of my job and used it to code an interactive learning module. Making the module hasn't been quick and I have to babysit the content a lot to get what I want. But I never could have done it on my own and I never could have paid someone to make it for me and it's helping educate people. I see this as the correct use of AI.

  • I'm overly opinionated. But, If i argue with people on the internet it's a proxy for arguing with people in real life. It scratches the itch and even wears me down a bit. Then I have more self control on picking battles with people I know in real life and dont want to hate me.

    Is it a healthy comping meachniam to wear down my combative side using bigots and bots on the internet? Probably not. But it works.
