You are asking mostly nazi Ukrainian supporters, for a war where actual success of nazis, means nuclear strikes on USA.
Let’s just say Lemmy is incapable of unsticking head from ass. Militarist nazi diminishment of russia, but with higher minimum wage and healthcare? Sign them up
I go to asklemmy threads and try to sneak my message by their partisan hack, censorship/ban-happy mods by leaving subtle jabs like this one:
Simple, it’s play to win so I played and won. Whining and crying are not my style. Neither is this pessimistic, self-loathing, victim mentality.
LOL, you in the wrong place. All we do around here is whine and cry about our victimization. Oh, and we hate ourselves.
Like you, I’ve chosen not to lose. Not doing outstanding, but my failures are all on me.
Share how to win strats then
Folks managing to win at the monopoly board game be like.
You are a super tough guy. I’m very impressed with how you played and won. Great job.
Knowing it’s better than the alternatives being touted.
Spread awareness, break all the little rules you can, scatter seeds of all kinds across town, refuse to recognize the dollar, point high powered laser pointers at private jets taking off, make up your own gender unique to you and dont respond to bigots who dont use it to refer to you, shit in the driveway if the CEO if your company (especially if you are the CEO), become ungovernable. The social contract is shattered, you owe nothing to them.
One of these is potentially dangerous to others, and how do you not “recognize” your currency? Do you pay for food and utilities with wolfskin and eggs?
Sure, barter if you want and can. Their power relies on the vibes of markets. Line go down is how you really hurt them. Stop buying stuff.
This for real. Stop buying shit.
I just want to say that invasive plants species are a thing, and if a jet crashes on actual real people because of this, you might as well just get a gun and start blasting away, given the random places it might end up.
It’s like you people are unhinged or something
“Stop him! He bought local seeds and is spreading them across the city! He’s an unhinged menace!”
Give me a fucken break.
Cannabis and passive suicidal ideation
My stupid body took the cannabis away from me, now all I have is the passive suicidal ideation… It’s also my retirement plan! Good ol’ 40
9mm1kIt’s also my retirement plan! Good ol’ 40
9mm1kJesus Crist! I get wanting to overkill serving yourself a Kurt Cobain breakfast special, but where the hell did you even find a 409mm gun? Do you own a battleship?
We all own many battleships in America! The trick is having them let you on board at the right time. Lol
I just like thinking about it, ya know?
The only freedom i have left in my life is deciding when I die, so i get to feel a little free whenever i decide that today isn’t the day…
First I realized that I was reading the news for entertainment, not to actually get informed in any meaningful actionable way.
Then I started to doubt any headline that confirmed my biases. “Trump says terrible thing” boils down to a 3 second sound bite with zero context. “Trump voters regret voting for him” is a summary of 8 tweets taken off a recent trump post. “New study” has 23 participants.
In other words read the damn article. Things are bad, but not quite as relentlessly bad as social media would have you believe.
Also, I vote, I donate, I march. There’s not much else I can do, so what does all this “being informed” do me? Me being miserable doesn’t help anybody.
Second: stop consuming rage bait. 50% of Reddit is just videos of people being insane in public. It’d have you believing that we live in a warzone. We don’t. There is nothing to be gained from watching that shit.
Outside of that, picked up some video games and even started reading books again. Trying to deprogram the brainrot that makes it hard to concentrate on anything for more than 10 seconds.
Oh, and alcohol.
Weed and booze
I’ve cut down dramatically on the booze, increased the weed and feel a lot better. You can smoke so much more if you don’t drink, it’s awesome
Weed and trying to understand what I value and want in my life and how that can be made to happen outside of capitalist structures
I focus on what tasks I have to get done today and do them. Then I doomscroll.
Every day is a step towards my plan leaving this country and going back to Korea
Currently? Mostly making shitposts about chaining CEOs to boulders and casting them into the Sea, advocating to build big bronze statues of cold-blooded murderers, and openly wishing for certain people to be struck by lightning. Some real Biblical shit.
It’s not a death threat if you just wish God does the dirty work!
US judicial system: Best I can do is 15 years jail with $100K bond.
Honestly, at this point, I think we need to admit the US cannot be fixed. It’s time to peacefully dissolve the US federal government in its entirety. Grant all 50 states independence, turn the lights off, and move on.
I think the last straw for me is the recent vote for House committee leadership among the Dems. Even the nominally liberal party is so utterly corrupt, so utterly surrendered to vanity, that it is incapable of learning even the simplest of lessons. Both parties have been so completely corrupted from the inside out by money, that they cannot be saved. The only people who can come into power are those who are utterly corrupted by corporate money, and they have zero incentive to repair the damage money has done to the system.
It is possible for a thing to be so thoroughly broken that it cannot be repaired. And we have passed that point as a nation. We simply don’t want to admit it.
The time has come to peacefully dissolve the US in its entirety. We need to grant all 50 states full independence. Then they can come together and form whatever new nation or nations they want.
This nation can no longer be saved. It is time to end the denial.
It’s time to peacefully dissolve the US federal government in its entirety.
Who is going to allow this to happen?
This nation can no longer be saved.
It is actually working as designed.
But yeah it does look like the abuses will never stop. So it is possible that US will just collapse from within like USSR due to inability to provide its population with necessities like housing, healthcare and education.
When covid happened some commentary was going around it could be US Chernobyl type event.
It seemed clowny back then but things have really taken a huge dive since then.
I guess when Chernobyl happened, plebs in USSR never imagined that the prole crushing machine would collapse within half a decade.
Feel free to crosspost on !AskUSA@discuss.online
You deserve an explanation as to why your cross-post of this was removed from !AskUSA@Discuss.Online: that instance has higher standards (though not quite Beehaw level) and we try to keep things “welcoming”, thus we made our top community rule #1 to “be nice”. And I felt that coming out swinging calling the whole country a “hellhole” went against that rule. I see that that is the top rule in this community as well, but I suppose there are differences in interpretation as to what that means.
Options from here: You may appeal to the head mod @m_f@discuss.online if you wish, as it does not strictly violate the rules of Discuss.Online itself. And/or you could re-phrase the title. Or you could even make a post asking for clarification of the rules/expectations - although note that this was already done recently and by far people seemed to express distaste for all the politics stuff, so we try to direct that to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world instead. I’ve posted there myself in the last week, almost made another post there yesterday as well, and I highly recommend that community for things such as this. In fact, their sidebar text says that they love such self-posts of commentary, as opposed to like “news”, and even “discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!”
So I get that you wanted to vent and discuss, and there absolutely are places to do that, I just wanted to protect the members of that community in particular from being constantly barraged with politics, bc as you seem to agree, dayum that shit gets old fast - it becomes overwhelming to so many of us to see all the BS that goes down almost daily now:-(. And maybe that’s one way that we can deal, by placing limits on how often we have to think about it each day:-).
No problem! Thanks for the explanation.
50% socially acceptable self destruction (eating too much of the wrong things) and 50% dissociating while exercising (in hopes the collapse happens soon enough to make my physical fitness relevant.)
