people with imposter syndrome are certainly valid to post here ;)

post about your imposter syndrome?

she regularly does that

Literally nobody. Even an alliance of Russia+China+EU+help from Canada and South America would lose. The US is geographically impossible to invade, and this can only change if the US breaks apart.

As the federal government gets fucked and our influence on the world stage plummets, it’s in the best interest of every empire on earth to stoke regional division in the long run. It won’t be hard to convince the future rulers; all you need is to promise oligarchs and warlords a kingdom of their own to run so long as they dismantle the federal government. This will be an absolutely awful experience and things will not settle down or become less violent.

The US military will take a while to deconstruct and I’m not sure how long it will take, but it won’t happen under Trump’s rule. I have no doubts that he can maintain control until he dies, so we better count ourselves lucky that he’s already so old. If he had more than a decade left on the clock, we’d be even more fucked than we are now.

I don’t need to get in; I only want to keep you healthy and warm until…

“Mom, what’s that person doing?”

“They’re lying to themselves. Just ignore them.”

THE FORBIDDEN CHEESE

The only difference is how much damage each is currently capable of doing. The former would be just as bad given the means, while the latter currently has the means. I personally think it’s better to simply silence and shun fascists without means, while fascists with means should be dealt with in whatever way leads to the most success. That all depends on your own circumstances in relation to them. I suspect harming the interests that support fascism is more effective, as the fascist movement will probably only be strengthened by hurting foot soldiers.

wanna chat about it?

How could you do this; you should feel ashamed (not sure if this is what you want)

fat boobs even

I guess she’s the leader of blahaj.zone, but she’s not specific to 196

This has inspired me to double down on giving Spokane a serious tragedy (in fiction)

I’m fairly confident these are the Nazi type antisemites, not the "anti-imperialist-genocide “antisemites.” Israeli fascists dislike both equally of course, as both would be against subsidizing their bombs and guns.

The New York Times is a bottom of the barrel rag at this point. I blame Transphobia Brainrot Syndrome (TBS), which is where people become so obsessed with taking down trans people that their brains leak out their ears.

My understanding is that this community is US news, not world news. I really hate that it was set up this way, especially on lemmy.world, but that is why most stories here are about Trump. His reign affects every news story in the US, as the context of living under fascism implicitly colors all of them.

Probably because they’re cultivating a readership of rich liberals who actually have the money to donate and pay. The media cannot be representative of popular sentiments under a capitalist system, and it only becomes worse with increasing wealth inequality. Economics bend the news to be a propaganda arm of wealthy interests more than a way to provide accurate news. Those with money pay to print what they want to hear and want other people to hear. The world is only built for those with power.

The only taxes these people will ever pay will be extralegal

No you can’t. Rules only apply to those with money and/or a willingness to commit violence based on Trump’s orders.
