  • Is it possible to be a traitor when you're a capitalist shitbag?

    They only have loyalty to themselves and their bank account. Quite literally the world could burn (due to their business) for all they care.

  • If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?
  • which truly blows my mind - assholes are going to actively vote to sabotage their own country

    The problem is they don't see it at all. Anyone who is truly in favor of Trump is watching propaganda that will always frame him as a poor victim of evil Democrat smear campaigns. Anyone else who is voting for him because they're a Republican and they just always vote R is just not paying attention and also fall under the category of "not seeing it." :(

  • Kyle Rittenhouse texts pledging to ‘murder’ shoplifters disillusion his ex-spokesperson
  • I wish I was still on reddit for this shit. I remember when it happened and every fucking bootlicking Magoo was defending this shit stain and using the law as if they understood self defense in that context. They worshipped that guy for being "a good guy with a gun" and had every excuse in the world for why he was a victim...

    Man I hope they're seeing this.

  • gonna be a long one
  • Not exactly the same but I just went to Amazon to reorder my coffee as I'm getting low and for whatever absolutely bat shit insane reason they decided to double the price in just a handful of weeks... So fuck that. Now I have to find something else. :/

  • tag urself
  • Please don't touch me, leave me alone, give me space, do not interact. And I'm guessing the cut off one in blue is something about social anxiety.

    I'm a lot of fun. Lol

  • Harris' team is considering keeping Biden Cabinet officials if she wins and Democrats lose the Senate
  • It's not so much that it's treated as "zero urgency" from Democrats, but rather Democrats don't embrace a king "unitary executive" theory that Republicans do. So when Trump wins the Republicans accept that he can push through whatever he (read: the heritage foundation) wants, it's a big part of project 2025.

    If Democrats win they play by the system that exists, which is: we want something, Republicans say "go fucking die you communist piece of shit" and nothing happens because we don't have a majority. If we end up with a 50/50 split then Joe Manchild and Self-centered Scinema say "go fucking die you communist piece of shit" and nothing happens because we don't have a supermajority and they refuse to help kill the filibuster because they're paid to be Republicans in the Democratic party. This is why the only thing we've accomplished through Congress in the last like 20 fucking years is a goddamn Republican healthcare system (Obamacare is Romneycare) because we had enough of a majority for something like 3 months...

  • ELI5 If Trump is a supposed billionaire why does he keep promoting cheap crap to get money?
  • I believe that's the fallout from the Citizens United ruling. There are also "Dark money" PACs that are called as such because they can keep the contributions anonymous, but these PACs are allowed to donate unlimited funds to the campaign as long as there's no "coordination" between the PAC and the candidate...

    Our government is for sale.

  • USA approves $8.7bn aid package for Israel
  • Bombing other people isn't fucking self defense....

    I have no issues with funding actual defense mechanisms like the iron dome and whatever. Small munitions, bulletproof vests, whatever you need to DEFEND your citizens I'm cool with. When it turns outward and you start "military operations" against other countries that's when I say good fucking luck on your own.

  • Millennials know all about this. And the hate-mongers of today will die with nobody to remember them
  • I would argue he created a fuckton of value for those that paid him.

    Billionaires and the ownership class were the big winners of Limbaughs legacy and the same could be said of the Faux "news" primetime peanut gallery...

    Obligatory: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!

  • Which are lesser-known movies that are well worth seeing?
  • Snatch mighhhhht be well known? It is hilarious and just fun to watch!

    It's a Guy Ritchie movie that follows a few groups of people and how they all come to be involved in either chasing or having been in the presence of a diamond that was stolen. It's a lot of fun to see the interaction between the different groups they follow and some of the lines are absolutely hilarious.

  • Which are lesser-known movies that are well worth seeing?
  • Rocknrolla but not Snatch or Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels!? It's been a very long time but I distinctly remember being disappointed in rocknrolla when compared to the other two I mentioned.

    Love Guy Ritchie!

  • Curtis Yarvin: Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas

    Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

    Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas

    Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

    I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

    Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

    From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

    For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
