Absolutely, 9/11 could not have gone better for Al-Qaeda if they had scripted our reaction themselves. We took the bait hook line and sinker. Especially the sinker part.

It appears the “Blame The Immigrants” alarm is too loud and overpowers it, I think the solution is to position ourselves as only hating immigrants somewhat, surely that will make us popular and then people will listen.

I promise when I am elected to always be just a tiny bit less bigoted than the opposition, I live by my values that is just the kind of everyday guy.

I think they have no problem with regulatory capture being added to cement their dominance under the guise of protecting kids…

It isn’t really Open Source if it can become not Open Source.

We didn’t start the pile

At least you have some say in accountability for the US government, in theory at least.

Where is your evidence of this?

Why should I care when the US government doesn’t give a shit about protecting me from US companies?

has anyone checked to see if Jeffries is an actual player and not a bot account?

Yeah sorry I thought it was cool tech but you are right when I read it again.

The lemmy.world mods were totally happily stomping on the narrative that Biden was directly enabling the Palestinian Genocide. It took until Trump was elected for them to start quietly backing off from an enforced naivete they were previously happy to maintain a “blue maga” response to where any criticism of Biden meant you were a Russian bot or something.

If Biden was elected again we would still be fighting this battle against empty neoliberal centrists dismissing evidence of the genocide as a distraction/character assassination done to benefit Republicans.

The NYT is a honeytrap for liberals who can’t admit they are conservatives that feeds its victims whatever narrative the 1% desire, which in this case is sweeping the Epstein files underneath the rug and desperately ignoring the massive role of Israel in this.

I said it in another thread but I’ll repeat it here, marijuana is illegal for racist and classist reasons, Trump is maximally racist and classist.

It doesn’t matter if it would benefit him, he will never do it.

When asked for comment, Chuck Shumer condescendingly retorted “the Ultimate Response we have here is to give more weapons to Israel”

The DNC is controlled opposition and the fact that centrists are in denial about it puts all of us in great peril.

No, what you describe is being utterly derailed in your understanding of people by the distractions rightwing billionaires dangle infront of us to keep us from having a real conversation about why we are all suffering.

The reason we have so much extremism today is people are more desperate and angry, not that strangers on the internet validating one another.
