lol, it can’t have helped Cuomo that trump endorsed him at the 11th hour.

This is hilarious. I hope trump keeps endorsing corpo libs. Like oh no, please stop. Don’t.

Lemmy does have value, because the demographics are a bit more focussed here compared to much larger but more mainstream platforms, not to mention that larger platforms like reddit are already so bot-infested, they start to interfere with each other. It’s so trivial to make and deploy bots now with LLMs, I’d be very surprised if there weren’t bots here.

I think the reason we don’t notice them as much here is the quality of moderation tends to be higher (on average, so far).

I’m an ugly bag of mostly water.

I still see that button (in the mobile version, anyway).

What’s more alarming is that I’ve run across several things akin to toilet seats (things you probably buy like once every 20 years) that have defaulted to the ‘Subscribe and save’ option. I don’t know if this something the seller does or if AI is flagging things for them, but it’s insidious.

If you’re not paying attention, you can wind up an accidental collector of toilet seats.

Ah, but you see, cancer is all natural.

Oh, you can get one picture.

One.

I’ve been looking for antifa for years. I bought the t-shirts and the pins, have gone to the rallies, signed the petitions, etc, but I can’t find the antifa.

Some antifa, but nowhere enough antifa.

We could really use some organised antifa right now. It’s not there yet, though.

The GOP has spent decades and billions of dollars making sure most Americans have grown up not knowing how any of this works.

Everything is gonna come tumbling down very soon. Brace, y’all.

ICE is just going for their Glory to Arstotzka achievement.

These lunatics actually believe these fairytales about antichrists, demons, angels, end times, etc, and are powerful enough to get us all killed over it.

It’s bad enough they’re not willing to help humanity, they’re actively against doing that because of their stupid bronze-age fantasies. They could do so much good if they lived in reality but no, they’d rather use the most powerful positions on earth and more resources than anyone has ever controlled to fuck us all in the name of cultish idiocy.

It’s infuriating.

Actual gestapo.

If you think you’re safe because you’re not currently being targeted, you’re wrong. The circle always expands until they eventually target everyone.

They’re speed-running the 4th reich, and that’s not hyperbole.

e: I can’t spell.

Jesus christ.

Do we get 1000% off like he claimed last month? Are they going to pay people 10x the list price like he promised?

God is not about forgiveness and such in the New Testament. That’s a retcon by later Christians to make it more palatable.

He preached violence:

Matthew‬ ‭10:34‬: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

He was just as happy to send people to hell:

Matthew‬ ‭13:41-42: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Every single horrible decree in the Old Testament still applies in the new (despite modern Christians trying to redefine what ‘fulfil’ means):

Matthew‬ ‭5:17-18‬: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

That’s last one includes all the slavery, rape, genocide, etc. Jesus could have spoken out against those things, but instead he said all those judgements were just and should be continued.

Matthew‬ ‭10:21‬: And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

Pretty violent, and not very loving.

And let’s not forget the revelations, in which Jesus will doom billions of people to a horrific existence followed by eternal hellfire, not for doing wrong things, but merely for not being devoted to him. Even the devout and righteous of other religions, and even babies who haven’t had the chance to sin.

Remember, Jesus is the same god as in the Old Testament – if god is eternal and unchanging (which the Bible says he is), he is literally the same entity who committed atrocities before he decided to wear human skin and sacrifice himself to himself.

This is not a loving god.

Not only liberals vote shame. It won’t be long before we get the chance to try to relegate the fascist to the back seat for a while again, and some of us have kids.

Some of us can afford to have different strategies throughout the cycle, and right now I’d like people to understand the landscape that’s being created .

What makes you think there was a liberal inside me?

Hahahahaha. ‘Unlawful’. I can’t breathe.

So, where do we accept this is full-blown fascist newspeak? Spoiler: like 8 years ago, before it was too late. And now it’s too late. Thanks to everyone who told me I was a hyperbolic alarmist. Enjoy your police state, idiots (and I’m including the protest and non-voters here), you did this.

Just maintain eye contact whilst you drop trou and shit in your chair. It’s a sign of solidarity and the least you can do.
