Dude looks like an AI generated human.

Yea, all those idiots eating up lies on the other side need to learn the same obvious truths as I already know!

Apparently I earned a site wide ban from lemmy.ml, but their posts keep showing up here. Annoyingly, I learned that when you get banned the "block community" button is hidden, so you have to add each community you want to block manually. So just blocking the entire instance solves my problem.

The parts that concern me the most are areas where the political parties tend to walk in lock step, such as mass surveillance and monetary policy. The fact that Trump has had a rocky relationship with the GoP ever since he announced his candidacy for the 2016 election helps his image with others who are concerned about the "uniparty".

This video may help to shed some light on the issue for you. Basically, it's been going on for much longer than most people realize.

Edit: Regarding Harris, they don't really take her seriously, personally. Rather, the concern is the entrenched powers in the civil service and media will collaborate to use her as a puppet, to defend the people they believe to be protecting the bad actors involved in human trafficking, such as Epstein, Diddy and John of God.

If you really want to know, I have maintained a presence on both left and right wing sites since the schism ~2016, as a life long liberal who felt they could no longer support the insanity over the past decade, but is still apprehensive of hardcore conservatism.

To be blunt, the energy among the right is extremely high right now. The Puff Daddy case has them celebrating like crazy, because despite what people here like to say about them, ending the institutionalized sex trafficking is actually the most important issue for many of them. Along with that, they're extremely happy that the democrats have such a weak candidate, as they see this election to be the largest potential obstacle to actually being capable of addressing said institutionalized sex trafficking. They are also quite hopeful that a Trump victory will provide the tools necessary to deal with administrative bloat within the government, specifically addressing the FIAT currency system which makes everyone poorer year after year, which has been another significant sticking point for them. There is also, apparently, a fair bit of action being taken to combat fraud as it happens in this election, which has everyone in high spirits.

I mean, most people don't enjoy suffering in their later years, but if that's what gets you off then you do you.

Ah, thanks. I had to scroll down a ways because my individual community block list was large enough to push that one out the bottom of the page I guess.

The internet and social media has made it much easier for everyone to wall themselves off into groups containing people with only their viewpoint.

It's not people who share your viewpoints, unless you buy into the artificial left/right dichotomy and are willing to simply accept whatever popular talking points permeate your silo. Conversely, if you wanted to share a space online with only people who are actually from your own country, or even just western society broadly, such a thing doesn't exist at all. While the issues of political division within America are significant, what flies completely under the radar is how trivial it is for bad actors from places like Russia and China to participate freely in political debates, often without anyone actually being aware of it.

How do you filter out an entire instance as a single user? I was just trying to figure that out the other day, but it didn't appear possible.

Trust the experts!

Just because someone tells you something, doesn't mean they actually know what they're talking about. fyi
