It looks like Trump is almost certainly going to lose the election and when he does ~~he’s going to jail.~~ they'll overturn the results and refuse to certify in important states that they already have control over.

Fixed a slight mistake. :(

"I have high standards, I'd rather have my clothes covered in dog shit than put on a non-Gucci article of clothing."

How's them standards going for you when you're now covered in shit?

They did! FreedomEagleBasementPatriotReport.ru said it was all true and a democrat hoax! Fox news verified it!

Someone literally got killed for that.

I believe it was a subway and when they found an absolute shit ton of mayo on their sandwich they actually killed the person and shot another...

I got way too comfortable with my cats nickname that if anyone actually heard me they'd think I have no idea what animals are lol my first reaction was "aww monkey got kisses!" :P

Do you mind elaborating a bit there? I mean I know people say birds are just government surveillance drones, but even if that were true you'd have "birds" too for the cats to kill in excess.

I don't get the cars thing either. Like I know us Americans are absolute assholes in every single respect, but I'd be hard pressed to find someone who actively aims to run over cats. How is that different elsewhere?

My asshole body: yeah I know you peed before bed but it's 2 hours before you need to be awake so you need to pee now. Oh the time you went to bed changed and the time you need to be up changed? Doesn't matter, 2 hours before you need to be up I'll wake you up to pee. Good luck getting back to sleep!

Honestly my only issue with them is literally anyone who is not them is "an evil pro-genocide lib" (lib, liberal is like the biggest insult they can throw at you as it's essentially the definition of their opposition.) Doesn't exactly feel great to see an entire community see you as the absolute evil and everything that is wrong with the world just because you may not agree that an economy run by committee is the best way, or that an authoritarian "vanguard" is the right way to a better society.

If they're all about workers solidarity and community then they should try to see us if anything as simply "ignorant" not stupid, not willingly aiding genocide, just lacking information that they could help share. Instead a lot of them are just vicious. There are some like Cowbee that seem like good people who want to help others understand their views.

Money. You aren't paying for the video that the scene is from, you're just watching the scene.

It's almost always about money.... Absolutely absurd

Fox news primetime is quite literally the two minutes hate from 1984, they just don't have a singular Goldstein, or rather their Goldstein is "the left."

The only goal for Fox primetime is "hate the left" so every "story" they run is a self-contained mechanism to deliver the "hate the left" message, what they said the day before and what they will say the day after will have no consideration for what is said today.

All that matters is "be mad at the left."

 

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” …
