the amount of hate crimes we see in the US will drastically rise, especially among people who don’t “look” or “sound” American, especially indigenous people. ignorance is now intelligence.

Exactly, I lost hope once Hegseth was confirmed, it’s like the more shit they’ve done or said that disqualified them 20 years ago the better they do in present day

The first time we were all right to feel uncertain, and with time even the more “normal” GOP members of his administration were turned off by the shit show and spoke out against him. Who concerns me most is whoever spoke out against him, especially after Jan 6 and come this election cycle are the Trumpiest of all the new MAGA supporters (cough cough Vance). As they say, you can’t do the same thing more than once and expect a different result.

Most of these Reddit bans on Twitter are also half assed. They still allow screenshots of Twitter posts. That means the content is still spread, and Twitter remains relevant.

I wholeheartedly agree. I personally got fed up trying to make a new account recently where I got shadowbanned, where there’s accounts that steal posts from the past and repost them as new just to farm karma and they stay up despite bots detecting them as spam/reposts.

My point is if they’re looking to enforce something they should not do it in a half-assed way.

For me what is most destructive is the sanewashing a lot of the MAGAs are getting on a lot of these once reputable sources in traditional media. I hope the obituary we read in the near future isn’t USA’s.

That’s why I think not allowing her to be on the Oversight committee was shortsighted, she makes great opposition against MAGA and I want to see more of her speaking the voice of reason

IMO, a “decent man” would have turned down working in a company that made health into a profit-making machine. He would have at least resigned when AI was pushed forward to deny even more medical claims, but instead gave his blessing. One can be evil and deadly without having to pull a trigger, look at the ton of politicians that do it daily and they get away with it because they look polished.

Same, though I primarily just lurk on Reddit, I got tired of the hive mentality and the bots. Lemmy has grown quite a bit since I joined, which makes me come back for more

They’re gonna do the most to get people to use Windows 11, but they really dropped the ball with the ads, surveillance, and how shitty it’s become the past few years.

These are the same people who’d say “stop lying, you look too manly to be a trans!!!1!1!!”

AOC put it nicely, the GQP wants to do a genital check on every woman and girl that dares to go into a restroom. Can’t we just make private stalls open to anyone?

People like this deserve to be put in front of a firing squad with a target on their head to see if it explodes too, but I doubt it will because they probably have a thick skull.

We really do live in the shittiest timeline if “normal” news seems so fake now
