Lol American here and that’s all anyone around me was talking about yesterday.

But it also does the dishes without using as much water as you do.

The sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won’t come unless the earth isn’t livable anymore.

A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that’s perfect so why bother protecting this one.

They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.

Too Dumb to Be a Cop

That’s unpossible.

Gotta shift those goalposts.

I’m sure if we ever manage to organize a national, indefinite strike, there will still be people like this saying it’s not real action so it’s irrelevant.

Some people won’t be happy until they see bodies of dead Americans in a bloody civil war, but they just don’t have the courage to come out and say it.

Loudly spouting defeatist BS while voting for something is detrimental to getting the thing you voted for. If you want X but spend all day telling everyone it’s all pointless, it doesn’t matter if you voted for X when 15 other people decided there’s no point in trying for Y since X can’t happen.

Whether I agree with either of these people’s views is irrelevant.

No need to be ableist.

It’s actually very hard to launch dome thing near the sun, let alone into the sun.

Far better for the planet to just bury them in soft peat for 3 months and recycle them as firelighters.

kick off a civil war

looks around at “detention” camps

looks around at military being moved around in preparation for things

looks around at states invading other states with their own guard members

looks around at civilians being executed on camera in the streets by government-backed SS-style secret police

My brother/sister/non-binary in the flying spaghetti monster, we are there. Whether it’s one-sided or not is going to be the real question.

English IS my first language and it still tripped me up. It’s an easy thing to swap, especially without much context.

I read it as “to break off” not “to temporarily interrupt”

Is… Is he straight up just planning to do Holocaust Part 2?

Because it really feels like he’s not even trying to hide his desire to recreate world war 2.

I think that’s just a properly funded IRS

Fbi can cut local authorities out of federal investigations, but at the state level hes still guilty of murder

Forgive them

Nah. Just forget them.

A local church got fined something like 150k for hosting a soup kitchen every Thursday and only stopped because cops started breaking it up and arresting people.

In the same month, the only local food bank closed for a plethora of reasons (no donations, lack of enough/consistent volunteers, etc)

Cops started threatening to arrest people who gave anyone food on the side of the road.

Genuine question: what are homeless/starving people supposed to do now?

I mean, we all know the answer, I just want the Fuckwads to say it out loud and stop pretending.

“You have to protest!”

“no, not like that”

Think of it like when you know you need to have the car keys taken from grandpa because he’s an actual danger to himself and others.

But it’s easier said than done, especially when grandpa is surrounded by people who either refuse to acknowledge his bad driving, or actively encourage him to go out and drive.

Also grandpa is armed and there’s no guarantee that any of the people around him will stop him from shooting you and everyone in the neighborhood for trying.

And don’t forget that half your siblings are actively cheering grandpa on and calling you slurs for even suggesting something is wrong, and they are also armed and aching for an excuse to shoot you. Your own gun isn’t much use since you aren’t close to grandpa, and by yourself you can accomplish little to nothing, and you can’t reliably call your saner siblings to help out without drawing grandpa’s caregivers attention.

The whole government is one giant dementia patient and needs to be burned to the ground so we can build something better, but there’s no guarantee any of your siblings will make it or even be successful.

Unrelated, my mental health is great these days.

10 years ago you’re absolutely correct.

Now? Just one less barrier for fascists to do their thing.

In a way that will realistically never happen in such a large country that arms it’s police like they’re military.

I’ll happily arm up, call the people I train with, and get to work. unfortunately without large scale organization that simply isn’t allowed by the alphabet squads because “domestic terrorism” or any number of made up bullshit claims (any leftist/progressive group. see also: black Panthers) the only thing that would result is 1-15 people dead in the street. Or more likely their beds, because they got raided at 2am and the cops just dropped grenades on their houses/apartments.

I do love how much I’ve been seeing “.ca” users clearly advocating that the US go through another revolution/civil war/domestic disturbance that causes the deaths of thousands, if not millions.

I’ve never heard a girl use those measurements.

Women, however, use them frequently enough.

Sorry for being pedantic but it rubs me the wrong way when people refer to women as “girls”

Edit: Guess this part of lemmy is cool with infantilizing women. Didn’t know people around here were cool with sharing traits with pedophiles, but here we are.
