  • I love that you were so triggered, that you had to have AI read my comments! Fucking AI just to read a comment! OMG This is easily the most lame thing I have ever seen on Lemmy. hahahahahaha

    I stand by what I said. No matter how mad it makes you. Keep crying. I'll keep laughing. :)

    And let me help you out, and be sure to add "This user is mocking me, and I'm really crying about it" to your prompt! hahahahahaha

  • But that’s exactly the point...I’m not some rare unicorn.

    Most people on Lemmy make more money in a single year than I ever earned. A lot of you have probably never made less than $85k a year since college. Do you even realize how much money that actually is?

    How many on Lemmy made at least that much on their very first fucking job. You know what I did as a job in college? I worked as a fucking dishwasher.

    The average full-time U.S. worker makes about $62,000 a year.

    Most of you wouldn’t even consider taking a job that pays that little. You can complain about prices, gas, and the cost of living all you want, but $85k a year is more than enough to live comfortably for the vast majority of Americans.

    The truth is, most of Lemmy has no real idea how the average person actually lives. Yet you still come here and bash capitalism and technology. The very fucking things that let you earn well above the national average.

    Most of you have had far more financial comfort than I ever did, even after adjusting for inflation. Plenty of you could buy a house in a nice small town and pay it off in less than 10 years. But instead, you choose to live in expensive cities, go out every night, buy the latest tech and electric cars, then act like your life is so hard.

    I was a single dad at 19, could never afford to finish college. Worked two jobs so my kid could have a room of his own in a small dumpy house. I would stay awake at night scared to death of losing one of my jobs and then losing my kid to the state because I wouldn't have housing. The vast majority of Lemmy has no idea what real struggle is, but they'll come on here and bitch about how terrible their lives are. What a fucking joke! What, you worried you won't be able to make a payment on your brand new EV? lol

    Get away from me with that nonsense. Most Lemmy's have never had to work at McDonalds and wouldn't know how to live off that salary if they did. Hell, my pension is smaller than half of your paycheck. LMAO

    Most on this platform have multiple degrees, tech jobs that pay way above average, but you bitch and moan. It's all bullshit. You could go to a rural town in Missouri and buy a nice fucking house for $180K. And you know what the majority of replies here on Lemmy would be to that bit of info? "Yeah, but it's Missouri and they probably voted for Trump, so fuck that!"

    That shit right there is all of Lemmy. Every single one of you could have a house if you really wanted one. But holy smokes, you may have some conservative neighbors, so fuck that. hahhahhaha

    Guess you don't really want a house and affordable living then do you? Because god forbid that you have neighbors that vote different than you.

    But all good. The reckoning is coming. Your good tech jobs are gonna go away, and then you can know what real fear is like. How many of you are gonna be able to survive digging ditches for a living.. like I did for 6 years. Try that during summer in Missouri, then come back here and tell me how much of a "unicorn" I am. lololol

  • Guy was an idiot. Tried to do an idiot thing. He even left a manifesto because he thought he was gonna go out in a blaze of glory.

    But he didn't get anything accomplished other than throwing his entire life away. Heck, even Lemmy doesn't support him because they wanna think he was a false flag or a republican. lololololol

    The idiot did nothing. Absolutely nothing, but ruin the rest of his life. Once he's in prison, he's gonna realize just how good his life was before he did all this stupid shit. Just like Luigi. Just like the other guy who tried to shoot the pres. Just like the guy who murdered the conservative speaker dude by shooting him in the neck. They all will spend rest of their lives in prison.

    For nothing! They accomplished nothing. I can't even remember their names, except for Luigi, and that's because of his vid game name. Hell, even Lemmy's will grow up and in 10 years have family and kids, and forget about these guys. LMAO

  • What key reforms do you see that will save capitalism or generally the US?

    Nothing. Both dems and repubs believe in capitalism. All the most successful countries in the world use versions of capitalism. It's not going anywhere. The US isn't going anywhere. Next admin will be a Dem president, and nothing will change.

  • So then you are NOT against murdering the president. You are NOT against political violence. Ok. I didn't vote for him, but I don't think he should be murdered.

    Stay mad all you want. But what has that anger gotten you? He's still president. He won twice. And he's gonna make it until the next president gets elected. But you keep screaming on Lemmy. Let me know how that works out for ya!

  • though i don’t know much about them.

    You really don't. China and Vietnam aren't examples of success "without capitalism." At all. Their economic booms only happened after they ditched rigid central planning and embraced major capitalist reforms.

    China's growth exploded after Deng Xiaoping's 1978 market liberalization, creating special economic zones, allowing private businesses, foreign investment, and competition; private enterprise now drives most of its GDP. Same with Vietnam's 1986 Đổi Mới reforms, which introduced privatization, markets, and trade. Then poverty plummeted and it became an export powerhouse. Without those pro-market changes, they'd look like the stagnant failures on the rest of the list.

    Cuba and North Korea (DPRK) remain stuck with command economies and score terribly on prosperity: Cuba relies on remittances from capitalist exiles and has chronic shortages, while North Korea's GDP per capita is among the world's lowest with a history of famine.

  • There isn't issonance/hypocrisy at all in his statment. He was saying regardless fo where you stand, political violence isn't good. And he's right. Just because edgy vegan 25-year old malcontents on Lemmy want a revolution, doesn't mean there should be one.

    And by the way, they're won't be one. There will be no revolution. No eating the rich. And looks like Trump is gonna make it all thru his presidency. Even tho that really annoys Lemmy. LMAO

  • ‘We can be critical of those in power, and we can peacefully fight for our beliefs, but there is no place in any way, shape, or form for political violence of any kind in our beloved United States,' Springsteen said to the crowd.

    Even tho most of Lemmy disagrees with that, I very much agree with Springsteen on this!
