  • That's an important part of it. Let's say half of it. I'd say the other half is zero-sum thinking about literally everything. If they see someone receiving help, their brain is screaming at them that those resources could have gone to them instead. I think it presents more as a strong feeling of moral right and wrong. They will never understand equity when their brain is tuned so badly wrong.

  • I cannot believe that another Mario brother hasn't stepped up to the plate.

  • There's a new leader at the DNC. I don't know much about him but I truly hope he isn't so corrupt that he can't see what's happening. Biden stayed essentially center right and won. Kamala we've further right and failed. I honestly don't think there will be anything close to fair elections in 2028, so 2026 might be their last stand.

    They must learn the lesson that progressive policies have wide support among Americans that aren't fascist. Run progressive candidates who aren't afraid to call Trump and Musk and their administration exactly what they are

    Above all, the electorate must understand that this is likely their last chance to put the brakes on Trump, if it's not already impossible by then. This is not the time for purity tests, protest votes, or sitting out the election for any reason.

  • No, they meant what they said. USAID buying their products to feed starving people around the world. USAID was killed by Elon/Trump. They estimate six million people around the world could starve. USAID was 0.6% of the federal budget.

  • Most of the leftists I see on Lemmy and know personally begrudgingly voted for Kamala. The people on here saying genocide Joe constantly were plants.

    The fact is, at least 2 million democrats who voted in the previous election did not vote this time. Leftists are an incredibly small portion of the population unfortunately.

  • I just want to point out that $10 an hour, even at 60 hours a week, is absolutely not "lower-middle-class". It's poverty.

  • I imagine I'm a bit younger than you. I remember gay=lame very well. I said it. Everyone said it. Then around starting high school I stopped saying it. I knew out of the closet gay people at that point.

    I think there's a big difference between gay meaning lame and retarded meaning stupid.

  • Likely whatever she wants to be given the current politics in the US. It's blatantly unconstitutional but it will probably not be stopped. If we don't change course, sooner or later it will be like the religious police in Iran.

  • How are you defining richest? Of course it's not richest percapita.

  • He says he's the son of god long before he's killed if I'm not mistaken.

  • This is a cope made up by wealthy Christians from what I understand. Source?

  • I try to tell Christians to just read the words of Jesus if they don't have time to read their whole book. Some bibles have them helpfully marked with red ink.

  • Paula White-Cain to be more specific and get the biblical irony all the way up.

  • So what's wrong with .world really? I didn't know shit about Lemmy when I signed up and now I have a two year history. I have a dbzer0 account because they align with my values, but I prefer to use this one because my post history is on here.

    .world is the biggest instance and probably has the most new people but what's really wrong with it?

  • I think the word filter is silly. If people want to say bad words let them. Other people will tell them to fuck off if it's inappropriate, or report them and get them banned if it's bad enough.

    But what do I know, I say the word retarded because the euphemism treadmill for words that mean distinctly less intelligent than average is totally out of hand.

  • I feel like at least half the men I see have at least a goatee (which I think look terrible) if not a beard (which looks good as long as it's not a neckbeard). I can't grow a full beard but sometimes I grow my mustache out for fun. It's extra fun because it's orange and people don't expect that. Not fun for my wife though because my facial hair is extremely stiff and prickly.

    I think beards being "in" now has helped a lot of guys with their self image because they don't like the shape of their face.

  • Haha yeah I was laughing at that and explained it to my wife. I just really enjoyed it, I don't know what to say.

  • Well I said progressive instead of leftist for a reason. But yeah star power could help. AOC could do it. She's got nothing to exploit and she can obviously talk circles around whatever the fascists put up.
