How come the rich can manipulate the masses if most creative people are left leaning?

Money, specifically propaganda. Humans will believe anything if it is repeated enough times. A collective of broke anarchist artists will never reach as many people as a billionaire funded think tank and advertising agencies.

if some bureaucrats can organise a regime change then all the left leaning people should be able to improve the situation

This is an odd "if". If you're referencing something, I don't get it. Generally regime change is carried out by men with guns (far too often backed by the United States).

My question was "What do you expect left leaning people to do". If you don't have anything more specific than "improve the situation", neither does anyone else. That is not terribly actionable.

(alleged)

Thanks for making my point. You and the media believe everything the police tell you, despite how often police lie. I'm just asking you to bless credulous.

We don't know the facts. I'm only insulting you because it's fun.

This is such a stupid, evil way of thinking. ESPECIALLY about Mississippi. You idiots keep crowing about "Have the day you voted for" when the people who would be helped by this program mostly voted Blue.

Infant deaths are disproportionately Black and Black women supported Harris more than anyone.

If you're not human enough to have empathy for everyone, it's going to be incredibly difficult to beat fascism. But if you can't even have empathy for the people on your side, go grab your MAGA hat.

You'll be happy to know that comments don't matter to the Lemmy algorithm.

The ranking is basically (upvotes-downvotes)/time. I don't know whether this is intended as "engagement bait", but it doesn't work.

Yeah....that's why I said "aimbots".

Hey, notice how I didn't make any claims?

You quoted the authorities with no corroborating evidence, and then a TMZ(🙄) story about a note that the police say existed but they can't produce.

You're a mark. Take your own advice.

Never trust initial reporting on an event like this.

I use em dashes more—as much as I can justify—because the hubbub made me think about them.

"Trump" is definitely AI here though.

American Exceptionalism (Extra Racist Edition)

This country would be a lot better off if people defaulted to suspecting FBI/police fuckery until proven otherwise. This is much closer to the truth.

Searching for "NAMBLA" is not illegal and this whole comment is incredibly wrongheaded.

Fuck Cox. That asshole literally prayed that he'd be able to blame it on an immigrant. The original story was that he lived with his father, then suddenly a trans person appeared from out of nowhere.

It'd be nice to have intelligent life running things for a change.

I don't understand how this is even possible. Did someone forget to open a chimney flue?
