I find it fascinating that the one of the most consistent groups that I hear about playing hardball with Trump is a conservative group - The Lincoln Project. Like, do we not have any sort of “we play dirty” liberal groups that dig up shit like this to show Trump’s hypocrisy? The Lincoln Project is buying billboards, they are all over the news week after week? We need a liberal party with that same sort of girthy, 12" dick swinging energy.
Marxist Leninist Socialists primarily, if you read my comment. I’m a Social Democrat, and I’ve received enough disrespect from ML Socialists, that I’m done trying to interact with them entirely. I get that your trying to minimize my argument, by acting like I’m attacking socialism entirely and act like I’m some sort of government plant…hence, again, why I’m stating quite plainly that I’m a Social Democrat.
The otherside of the coin is that I want to reform our system by trying to fix the problems of capitalism, and they want a revolution to completely dismantle it. I believe that the reality of implementing a socialist economy is completely unrealistic in a country as big as ours within the next 25-50 years, and that a revolution (which they are essentially advocating for) would introduce chaos and uncertainty into our country, and inherently the world. There’s no reality in which the movement gains widespread popular support in the short time frame that ML Socialists want. I firmly believe that the transition to a social democracy is a safer, more logical transition, and that as we adopt socialized programs, provide a better landscape for unions, and start reigning in inequality, we will naturally have more widespread support for a transition to a more socialist economy.
Metaphorically speaking, I want to slowly fix the problems that have cropped up around my house and upgrade things over time…they want to burn it down and build something that they believe is better. And they don’t like me because of that, that I’m essentially impeding their progress.
Still “irony” at it’s finest?
My experience with ML Socialists has been nothing but hostile. Anytime I’ve had questions or tried to have a discussion with a socialist about socialism, the response has been nothing but pure acid from them. Change is slow, and we’re slowly becoming more liberal as a people. They view socialized democracy as cowtowing to imperialism, and they seem to advocate for violent revolution to enact they’re goals. I literally can’t support that.
I would love for the US to become more socialized, for the workers to be more empowered, for people to live with better healthcare, less stress, and better safety nets…but as a social democrat, I’m the fucking enemy to them. As they described me, I’m imperialist scum.
I considered myself pretty far left…but those people? They fucking scare me…
… But if it’s more convenient for you to believe that I’m a paid government shill, then so be it.
I just blocked the whole of lemmyml and lemmy.blahaj or whatever it is, and my experience has been 100% better.
Always line something else up first. If possible, also have enough money to last 3-6 months without a job - makes things a hell of a lot less stressful. We would essentially just bank any bonuses throughout the year, and it would afford us a nice nest egg in case something ever happened. However it needs to remain untouched.
Yeah. It’s photoshopped. Good catch mate.
It most certainly should not.

Agreed. If anything, Musk has just bought himself a politician. Trump will be beholden to him, much like he is with Russia.
Actively? No. But the war has never technically ended. It was sort of put on pause. With both sides on either side of a line drawn at the 38th parallel with 1.2 metric fuckloads of troops on either side.
Oh shit, I read the community title thinking it was too lol
Whoops
I love your comics mate. Glad your here on Lemmy.
Then why does anyone donate shit to Goodwill. I thought they purposely sold things cheap so that people that needed it could afford it.
Then they’d have to admit that they we’re wrong. The “smart” ones will just shut up about it and continue to argue different points, the dumb ones will continue to shout at the top of their lungs that the election was stolen. They’ve formed an identity around this conman…this stooge. How can they stop now?
Given your reason, you seem like her ideal demographic. Hope it was worth it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand that’s exactly why the opening scene of Juon: Black Ghost/White Ghost made me scream like a child. The dread that rises up when something doesn’t feel right. There’s no build up to a scare…it just slams into you full force. Only movie I ever screamed while watching. Only happened once…but good God. We had to pause the movie and laugh for about 10 minutes as both me and my sibling both screamed.
You sure? There’s videos all over the combat footage subreddit showcasing numerous missiles/rockets making contact with the ground.
I used it to write a kickass counteroffer for an internal job promotion. I was pissed off with the offer and wrote out what I REALLY thought. I asked GPT to clean it up and respond with and upbeat and positive response where I’m eager to work with them.
ChatGPT about to help me get an $18k raise.
Man looks like he shit his pants and was caught right in the middle of it. Would also explain why everyone is standing 10ft back.
I can’t believe there’s even a risk of people voting in someone as morally repugnant as Trump.
