Yes, read history or take a serious gov class.

This was almost a 1:1 repeat of 2016 and yet lemmy is still getting spammed with denialism posts with hundreds of upvotes.

Trump is representative of the systemic issues America has left unresolved, not a cause, and the writing has been on the wall for decades; so much so that people think old media (ex: simpsons) was very cunningly predicting the future when in reality it was parodying the same issues at the time.

The one key difference has been the rather recent introduction of the internet. You can often find both much more reliable and higher quality information in less than a minute that what you could get from something like 10 newspapers combined 30 years ago. Especially for the younger generation, not everyone is falling for the same stupid tricks anymore.

Great example is Washington Post. People think it dropped in quality after it was bought by Bezos, but ask any international academic and they’ll probably tell you WaPo was always hot trash.

All this stuff you see being “worse” has been predicted for years on end, so while you can technically say it is “new”, it’s nothing unexpected. Even the next level filthy mouth ramblings of Trump are just something the previous guy did off camera (cough bush).

Anyone else get a flashback to idiocracy and all the misspellings lol

To quote a user from another thread:

Theyre not the ones that need to learn. Voters need to learn DNC is a bunch of wealthy moderates grifting voters.

Love this comments section in denial because they refused to read past the title in both the post and article that clearly states most Palestinians don’t expect a difference.

The Palestinians in the biggest city on the West Bank seem to have already come to a provisional consensus: that the US election result has no real impact here because things could not possibly be worse.

The recently fired Israeli defense minister was allegedly claiming all the military objectives in Gaza were achieved, and that there’s no need for ignoring a hostage deal.

So I’m really failing to see how this isn’t already rock bottom.

13 straight months of giving Israel a free pass, Trump literally can’t improve the maxed out arm sales even if he tried.

And I can bet you my life saving Biden will do jack shit to stop Israel in his remaining 3 months even though he has nothing to lose.

Okay I exaggerated lol, you can look at the sun while it’s setting.

I’m fairly certain Biden would have done the same if not worse considering his lower popularity that resulted in Democrats switching to Harris.

Had they planned this out and done a primary, there’d probably be a new candidate who would have done better and possibly won.

Of course that would involve letting people decide their candidate which is a big no no and too expensive to rig and risk losing anyway just like Hillary’s campaign.

Someone joke bet $500 Michigan will be blue with a +4% lead so I think I’ll joke bet $500 it will just be a repeat of 2016-2020 except 1.5x worse and then by next election maybe the DNC will learn to run a normal primary again and promote a popular candidate who actually promises to meet constituents’ demands instead of ignoring them.

Also someone on this community asked what everyone would do if Trump won and I said I’d probably make a collage of a years worth of my comments telling people ignoring genocide would cost Democrats the election.

So I guess I might go do that now and say “I told you so” to everyone who told me I was wrong.

Lahore always so full of smog you can look directly at the sun.

IPFS?

Just use OpenSUSE

The protocol isn’t even the issue, banks already use XRP.

It’s the fact that USD is propped up by Uncle Sam’s globalized monopoly which is kept in tip top shape by geopolitical power.

Everyone trades in USD because it’s the de facto currency and it’s stable because the government can abuse its power to keep it that way.

No one trusts the value of the Ruble, Yuan, Rupee, or even any other currency except for maybe the Euro. They all exist for internal use, which means its just gets compared in value to USD whenever you have to deal with anything external, which is all the time.

BRICS would only fly if a stable trade medium can rapidly prove its worth with market stress and trade requirement, otherwise everyone will just continue to use USD, hence why the USA doesn’t currently view it as much of a threat. And even if you could get countries on board, the US can hold on to a massive noose around everyone’s neck by refusing to trade in anything but USD, which would effectively shut you off from trading with a massive portion of US based/owned/partner companies.

Nobel prizes are meaningless but I think Pulitzers have some reputation, the article only mentions one.

Also I like how it states the authors the letter is directed it numbers more than 1000 lol. Don’t think they’re gonna care about missing out on a small number of genocidal maniacs…

Haha I remember when the BBC “accidentally” mistranslated Musharaf saying “We require nuclear weapons for deterrence” to “God has commanded us to make the nuclear bomb”.

Actually now that I think about it, the BBC lies alot. Like not even bias, I mean full fledged misinformation sometimes.

IDF also said Sinwar was hiding in a tunnel surrounded by hostages and they found him collapsed in the war zone after losing a hand.

I’m sure after the literal thousands of fake reports of beheaded babies, rockets stored in vaults under hospitals, terrorists in schools, terrorists in camps, children terrorists, women terrorists, and human shields, this one totally not an IDF propaganda scheme is definitely true.

You’d still be better off just hooking into 120v AC lol.

This story reminds me a lot of a cornerstore Deli in the ghetto side of (capital city of southern state).

It is run by a Bengali dude with two Arab cooks and an African American local. The name is likely ripped from a famous NY sandwich shop, but no one actually knows that.

The Arabs make most of the sandwiches and the African American specializes in salads.

You’ll usually find the two Arabs reciting out loud while they cook, everyone seems to know everyone, and the Bengali is running the cash register and rejecting phony bills.

The outside looks like a crackhouse warzone but the inside is an oasis lol. Always busy with people buying food or cornerstore items.

Objectively the best place in the city to get a philly sub, but you’ll never see anyone mention it outside of the ghetto area.

Point being that if someone asked me what defines America, I’d probably point to that place.

It was the beat of times, it was the blurst of times

That’s because they only considered one monkey.

You need a thousand monkeys working at a thousand typewriters.
