sad

People will always need each other. Money doesn’t change that. People need affection and intimacy. This culture war shit keeps us filtering the world though the “safety” of their apps instead of actually connecting with each other, which is why we’re all so fucking miserable imo.

His image as a “good businessman” is unshakable because of The Apprentice, where he played a good businessman on TV.

Honestly dude, I cannot fucking believe people thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala… I just don’t fucking understand how so many people can come to that conclusion, unless I really think about it, and then the reasons are all so sad and stupid. I swear to god the main reason, above racism, above hate, above the propaganda of the election cycle, the main reason he won over Hillary and then Kamala is that he had a TV show for many years. A lot of people over look the simple fact that in the American psyche, being on TV is validating, or at least it was when Trump was elected, before everything went upside down. People will stay in the same shitty town and keep the same toxic relatives in their lives for their wholes lives vs finding people that they actually harmonize with because they’re familiar. People who grew up in shitty households find partners like their shitty parents because the shitty behavior is familiar. “Familiar” feels like family. Trump was a household name, and some people didn’t even know Kamala had been swapped in half way through the election season. So they trusted Trump when he’d lie because he’s familiar, but they distrusted her when she seemed to avoid a subject because she’s unfamiliar and so inherently suspicious. They should have both been suspicious af, but he had a TV show and was president once before so they trusted him more… which is very fucking stupid.

I’m on the wait list for a kidney transplant (O positive if you’re feeling insanely generous), and I can’t imagine how anyone could accept a stolen kidney from a prisoner… I would feel haunted from the inside out – the thought already really bothers me and I’ll hopefully be getting a kidney from someone who volunteered to be an organ donor. The entitlement some of these Israeli’s feel is superhuman in the worst way.

IMO he’s one of, if not the, lead grasshopper that worked with influential ruling class figures to keep the working class suppressed and subdued through economics and propaganda/algorithms/story telling. I believe he’s one of the key architects of the toxic socioeconomic Matrix that we exist in every day.

so fucking stupid

Shoes off, eh.

Be realistic, how does anyone expect Bernie to be president if he wasn’t friends with Epstein?

Cool!

Deregulate? So corporations can enslave you completely? Huh?

Where did Americans get this idea that regulation is holding you back? Probably the same “think tanks” that convinced so many they were poor because of immigrants instead of… as usual… the wool being pulled over your eyes by the wealth addicts…

Bet most of them voted for Trump too.

It’s not too late, but it won’t happen without a fight, and in fact, it’s the fight they’re so desperately distracting us from.

Their dream is to have us build their Death Stars. We should crush their dreams.

It’s a bit tongue in cheek. We’re like that.

I’m Canadian. When we say “Americans” or “America” we mean people from the US.

It takes a lot to make a stew…

Do you wanna heat a tatter tot?

“AH IT’S SO HOT, I’M BURNING ALIVE! OH GOD MAKE IT STOP!!! Still love my Tesla though.”

Big tangent, but I just want to say I love this reply, and it’s a great example of what reddit has lost and lemmy has preserved.

Speaking of other species and knowledge, whale songs IMO are something like the dialup sound we used to hear when our internet went over the land line. Apparently they can hear each other from an ocean away as well. Whales may have entire religions for all we know. It’s fascinating to think about, and they’re right here on this planet with us; the Sun only knows what else is out there.
