These people are crazy and very dangerous. I hope Americans - and especially American media - can stop bothsidering Joe and unhinged fascist craziness like this.
But Joe didn't stop the genocide!
You know, by acting unilaterally... In a foreign country over which he has no authority... Mired by centuries of dissent...
he could have stopped all military aid and placed sanctions to the maximal extent of presidential authority and pressured congress into doing what he alone can't. he hasn't even denounced the genocide. the CIA has couped countries for much less bad things, why not now?
Listen I don't like Biden's support of Isreal right now either but to not vote for him just because of that is lunacy- allowing Trump to win will result in a genocide within our own nation. Just look at project 2025, the Trump crowd is planning it.
when did I say anything about voting? I'm tired of people shutting down any criticism of Biden because we aren't allowed to have a primary to replace a shitty candidate who is polling below a generic democrat ahead of an important election
Because there are tons of people that aren't going to vote for Biden over Israel. I'm sorry I just assumed, but I'm so used to people saying "I'm not voting for Biden because of Israel" so I just assumed. I would like Biden to be replaced in the primary with someone better as well, but it's not going to happen.
biden supporters shouldn't sweep concerns like that under the rug because that's how you lose elections. entitlement to people's votes isn't a good strategy, and "moderate" (right wing) candidates aren't actually safer since the median American is progressive based on how they respond to polls on individual issues. I'm sick of having these arguments with biden fans who seem to support him despite these glaring issues. personally I wasn't gonna vote for him anyways because I live in a deep blue state where it literally doesn't matter but if we get a fascist takeover of the government because biden lost it's all on biden fans for their poor choice in candidate and I just hope you'll join us on the barricades
I feel like that fatalistic attitude is too commonplace. That it's inevitable that fascist takeover, although Biden is not my favorite in any way, shape, or form, I would still have anything other than a fascist takeover with popular support. I feel like that kind of defeatism only sets us up for failure like in the Francoist revolution. Spain's left was so bitter that they really couldn't join together when the shit hit the fan.
Chin up man, of course we will join on the barricades if that happens. Don't let them live in your mind so much, let them "minecraft" in your mind.
Someone mentioned barricades? I've been waiting for the barricades, are they up finally?
it feels inevitable because spineless liberals roll over and let them get away with nearly everything they're doing. when are they gonna stand up and say "NO!" already? being nice and civil when they aren't is just letting them win, and that kills people. treating then any different than nazis is at this point being complicit. it shouldn't have been allowed to get this far in the first place. spineless liberal "centrists" have been losing to fascists around the globe and contrary to what many Americans believe we have the same laws of physics as the rest of the planet.
we all saw this coming in 2016 with Hillary Clinton but y'all let that go ahead and it didn't work so we're in this mess now. Biden barely worked in 2020 and he's a liability for 2024. it feels like y'all don't even care and would rather trump in any any sort of progressive candidate. notice how the republicans never try this strategy and still win even when the fundamentals run against them and only get worse. candidate voters like => turnout is a simple formula. taking your voter base's votes for granted because of flawed game theory and trying to reach for people who aren't gonna switch doesn't work well. and the voters you're losing aren't the ones who are politically engaged enough to argue politics on the internet. they're the ones who don't bother showing up to vote unless they see someone they like because otherwise what's the point? they think. and they're not even wrong to feel that way. give people something to vote for and they'll vote. shame them like this and they don't.
it's just basic political science and if you ignore it I'm one of the first into the holocaust centers.
also you're wrong about Spain but that's a drunken rant for another post this one's long enough as is
"we all saw this coming in 2016 with Hillary Clinton but y'all let that go ahead and it didn't work so we're in this mess now.

Oh yeah dude I did that, I voted for Clinton in the primaries over Bernie. I chose Biden because I wanted to make concession to the far right and not because the other option was literally Donald Trump. đ stop projecting your beliefs about Biden voters onto me.
That's a complicated question with an even more complicated answer. The two words I will use are geopolitical advantage.
"Ok, so he did stop the genocide. But he didn't stop it fast enough! Oh, the same day you say? Well he didn't stop it from happening in the first place!"
You can't argue with people who aren't really arguing.
It's not the average American you have to worry about .... it's the corporate controlled media companies that are pushing this narrative.
If you opened up the stage for people to speak up, they wouldn't want any of the people that are in place right now.
The media and the establishment are the ones who drive the narratives because they are the ones with all the money and control.
So average people aren't deciding on wanting someone like Trump ... it's corporate heads and wealthy backers who are promoting, advertising and pushing this narrative because that's what they want.
If these stories didn't sell, the media wouldn't run them. Yes, they should be objective and stop being culpable in this ongoing assault on American democracy... but they're serving a market.
They're not serving a market ... they're serving a master.
The general media is not an independent entity that does things to make a bit of money ... they are a tool that is used by corporations and the wealthy elite to corral people into a certain mindset and beliefs ... that eventually lead everyone into electing only those people that are marketed to them.
"Itâs never gonna get any better. Donât look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. Theyâve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls." - George Carlin
People wanting to read crazy, unhinged, insane, chaotic garbage about how the world is falling apart doesn't mean that they want it to keep happening or that they approve or that they think these are the right people to have in charge.
Their motives don't matter because the result is the same.
Edit: The algorithm is driven by engagement. One's particular reason for engaging with media content is wholly irrelevant- to the algorithm, watching Alex Jones because he's a flaming racist homophobic paranoid schizophrenic and watching Alex Jones because one is a flaming racist homophobic paranoid schizophrenic are equivalent. The algorithm doesn't care why the content was engaged with, only that it was.
And the algorithm serves the capital. Who needs truth and accountability when there's PROFIT!
I think the whole "let people decide what they want to see" line of argument is bogus, just like the lie about the relation ship between supply and demand. There's a big difference between "Hey I will tell you the truth for a penny", and "Hey I will tell you whatever you want to hear for a penny".
Motive always matters.
So you're blaming capitalism? I'm very much with you on that one. Except that the job of media is not to make money, but to report objective fact, and have people pay for that. You seem to have it backwards, otherwise there'd be no news, only sports, gossip, and porn.
And thatâs why, even though finally Biden opened his mouth to tell corporations to stop price-gouging, prices are still high.
The propaganda machinery is total. They dictate to us what we can even talk and think about just like those 24/7 radios from 1984 installed in everyone's homes (which was a real thing in the Soviet client states, by the way)
The fate of the country doesnât matter silly, ratings do!
Dude, they are the worst fanatics there, but this shit has spread all across the world. I can't even recognize my own country anymore, used to be one of the most socially progressive nations in the world. All it took was a little bit of consistent funding to right wing extremist groups over twenty years, which is nothing to achieve such dramatic political aims. With the help of the amoral conservative "private enterprise is more efficient than government ~for the capital~", people just sleepwalked straight into it.
The worst part is that I can't even figure out where your from with that description. Netherlands? UK? New Zealand?
The Catholic Church was promptly kicked out when the boomer generation finally reached voting age and the silent revolution began.
Until every Catholic school is removed from public funding, I'm gonna continue to be pissed at the Canadian government for giving those fucks my tax money.
Amen brother.
Is this irony?
Hahahahaha
Aren't Boomers usually more Protestant? I'm only like half joking
In Quebec?
boomers are a generation not a religion
Yeah but they're all in on all the "work and die by the sweat of ur brow", "no help, no hand", "suffer alone and pull yourself up by your bootstraps", "you're responsible for everything and you get nothing and ai get everything" etc.
Not in Quebec. It's a French thing I suppose?
This is more of an outside Quebec thing prolly aha, Quebec is/was bery Catholique
I don't know why I read catholique in French with an English accent.
We all do it
Christcucks commit more blasphemy than actual pagans.
If they really thought Hillary was the devil, they'd worship her.
I guess Baphomet for president it is.
We all know he is going to win, right?
There's no way either outcome in the 2024 election will resolve without at least some sort of attacks from the far-right, and I can't imagine what would happen after a Trump victory. The fate of the nation hangs by a silver thread.
And next time, project 2025 will ensure there are no more threads for our democracy to hang from, in addition to helping Putin to destabilize the cis region and boost his ussr resurrection dream, catapulting us ever closer to wwiii
May we stop living in interesting times....
civil war either way. not even being hyperbolic
Oh really? So why hasn't God smote the Democrats already? Why is retribution always an in-the-future threat?
Because that's what holy wars are for unfortunately
"Bow before the Lord, or get smote!"
"I'm not going to bow before th- OOW! Why'd you hit me for?"
"I acted as a vessel for God."
God is up there doing his Goku powerup.
"Next time on:HumanitZAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! "Tune in next week for more AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
God commanded us to smite the infidels! How do I know? I feel it in my heart! If you don't believe it, you're obviously an infidel.
I hate my country, the UK, for its crimes against humanity. We've done some shitty, shitty stuff; stuff that makes you sick. But nothing, nothing makes me more embarrassed than the thought that the USA was our mistake. We created the worst mistake in history.
In your country's defense, you didn't create it. You did everything in your power to stop it, and failed miserably. All the rest... yes.
Yeah, we got France to thank for that. They're not blameless in this.
All right. We'll dial back the British responsibility to 98/100.
Dude, it keeps me awake at night that we exiled the Calvinists. We should have just hung them all on the spot, it's not like we weren't already doing that to people in droves for the flimsiest of reasons.
God could come down from the Heavens and say that to my face and I'd still flip him off. Fuck Trump.
Trump fits all the definitions of the antichrist
âAnd I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.â
â Revelation 13:3
What if the mortal wound doesnât mean the death of a person? Donald Trumpâs loss in 2020 could be seen as a mortal wound to his presidency or his power. If he wins in 2024, wouldnât he have recovered from the wound? And certainly a bunch of people would be marveling and following him.
Yes, this is indeed how retrofitting narratives works. i e Backwards.
You have to admit, there's a ridiculous amount of stuff that lines up here.
Showing this to fundamentalist MAGA's might be an interesting exercise.
I mean, a whole bunch of that could be true about a LOT of people who go out and profess they WANT TO BE CROWNED DICTATOR but it's still amusing.
That could also be the scalp wound he got for his failed hair lift.
The "pastor" commanding everyone to worship the golden calf is worried about "demonic forces." Look in the mirror.
If god was real he would have smote every last republican by now.
I think if Satan was real he'd do the same. Those people are coming for his throne.
If there was a god, i am sure that he wouldbe with a cheater, grifter, liar, misogynistic, adulterer, idiot like the mango mussolini
I mean the Christian god is a yuge egotistical asshole so would be right up his alley.
He is way more of an asshole in the old testament
I'm particularly fond of Cheeto Benito
it's a pet peeve when religious folk make claims that are in fact testable hypotheses. Like we could measure various metrics of "god's wrath" in relation to regions of voting preference. Poverty, famine, disease, mortality, natural disasters.
Same feeling when they talk about prayers healing the sick. That's neat, but apparently the effect isn't statistically significant.
Oh yeah? Well remember that one time he flooded New Orleans and that other time he sent a hurricane to New York and those fires in California and literally nowhere else on the planet has ever had catastrophic weather in the history of ever?
Atheistmate, lib!
He usually doesnât get any of the flak but Jesus himself said âit is written: do not test the lord thy godâ Matthew 4:7, they will quote that back to you
Iâm always confused on this. Is god supposed to be directly effecting people and their lives or is it supposed to be free will?
A lot of these super crazy religious people are Calvinists. There are different levels of Calvinism, but as you go higher it means that there is no free will. All humans are "on rails" essentially, just completing the design of God. Even to the point that all humans who exist have been pre-sorted into going to heaven or hell before they are even born. Individual actions don't matter, and if you're going to hell there's nothing you can do to change it. It's the will of God.
I'm not sure that's true. I think they're much more likely to be mainline evangelicals or Baptists (like the SBC) - more the dominionist types.
something something mysterious ways....
Weirdos worship the government, but not the current government?
Just a heads-up: The site linked here just bombarded me with porn ads.
It's probably targeted advertising đ
I got worse. I had some kind of sports ad or something.
I mean, it is called "boing boing"
We ain't talking Al Jazeera here
I didn't know that site was still around. That was my reddit before reddit.
For real?
Yea no porn ads here. You sure you don't just watch a lot of porn and the ads were for their target audience?
As long as they rely on God to do it, I'm ok with that. If the almighty smiter has the need to break its divine silence to punish me, not much I can do.
However, if they try the whole "God is working through my human hands" bullshit, I'm calling swat
I'm calling swat
They are the ones that work forces tho.
Right? Arm up, comrade.
Oh I know. Just play the game since they are so easily manipulated. In other regimes, the extra-judicial killings were done with paramilitary, not established forces. They would use established forces, but play to their policies.
So you set them uo against eachother.
Results not guaranteed if you are non white.
FBI, open up!
The MO for every exalted leader in history. No, no, I'm not saying I am God, I'm just his go to guy.
I'm pretty sure the implication is the latter. No one will come out and directly say it but there are certainly nuts in the crowd interpreting as a call to arms. Unfortunately I've lost three friends to this trump shit and I've heard the way they twist what is said to fit their beliefs.
Needs more Burger King.
"The kind of man who demands that government enforce his ideas is always the kind whose ideas are idiotic." - H. L. Mencken
You know, at first I thought like, if they are going to worship a god, surely there must be a better choice.
Then I remembered these people also believe in the Old Testament god, and it made sense.
You'd think the old one had seen something like this coming and made royal succession a cardinal sin.
Fuck the republican traitor filth.
Republicans today are wild.
Republicans have been wild for a long time, these days they're rabid
c/NotTheOnion
Wearying. I think I'll sneak off to Mexico or something.
SoooâŠ. Weâre considering AI drivel laced op-ed pieces as news now? My how far weâve fallen.
haha i will always call you a cunt, you cunt.. every single person who voted for you is an ignorant pig, and i will spit in their faces for the rest of their lives..
Put not your trust in princes or sons of men, in whom there is no salvation. His breath departs, he returns to the earth. On that very day his plans perish.
And the fanatics will do his bidding in hopes of the glory they shall never obtain.

âAnd I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.â
â Revelation 13:3
What if the mortal wound doesnât mean the death of a person? Donald Trumpâs loss in 2020 could be seen as a mortal wound to his presidency or his power. If he wins in 2024, wouldnât he have recovered from the wound? And certainly a bunch of people would be marveling and following him.
Yes, this is indeed how retrofitting narratives works. i e Backwards.
You have to admit, there's a ridiculous amount of stuff that lines up here.
Showing this to fundamentalist MAGA's might be an interesting exercise.

I mean, a whole bunch of that could be true about a LOT of people who go out and profess they WANT TO BE CROWNED DICTATOR but it's still amusing.
That could also be the scalp wound he got for his failed hair lift.
The "pastor" commanding everyone to worship the golden calf is worried about "demonic forces." Look in the mirror.
If god was real he would have smote every last republican by now.
I think if Satan was real he'd do the same. Those people are coming for his throne.
If there was a god, i am sure that he wouldbe with a cheater, grifter, liar, misogynistic, adulterer, idiot like the mango mussolini
I mean the Christian god is a yuge egotistical asshole so would be right up his alley.
He is way more of an asshole in the old testament
I'm particularly fond of Cheeto Benito
it's a pet peeve when religious folk make claims that are in fact testable hypotheses. Like we could measure various metrics of "god's wrath" in relation to regions of voting preference. Poverty, famine, disease, mortality, natural disasters.
Same feeling when they talk about prayers healing the sick. That's neat, but apparently the effect isn't statistically significant.
Oh yeah? Well remember that one time he flooded New Orleans and that other time he sent a hurricane to New York and those fires in California and literally nowhere else on the planet has ever had catastrophic weather in the history of ever?
Atheistmate, lib!
He usually doesnât get any of the flak but Jesus himself said âit is written: do not test the lord thy godâ Matthew 4:7, they will quote that back to you
Iâm always confused on this. Is god supposed to be directly effecting people and their lives or is it supposed to be free will?
A lot of these super crazy religious people are Calvinists. There are different levels of Calvinism, but as you go higher it means that there is no free will. All humans are "on rails" essentially, just completing the design of God. Even to the point that all humans who exist have been pre-sorted into going to heaven or hell before they are even born. Individual actions don't matter, and if you're going to hell there's nothing you can do to change it. It's the will of God.
I'm not sure that's true. I think they're much more likely to be mainline evangelicals or Baptists (like the SBC) - more the dominionist types.
Weirdos worship the government, but not the current government?
Just a heads-up: The site linked here just bombarded me with porn ads.
It's probably targeted advertising đ
I got worse. I had some kind of sports ad or something.
I mean, it is called "boing boing"
We ain't talking Al Jazeera here
I didn't know that site was still around. That was my reddit before reddit.
For real?
Yea no porn ads here. You sure you don't just watch a lot of porn and the ads were for their target audience?
As long as they rely on God to do it, I'm ok with that. If the almighty smiter has the need to break its divine silence to punish me, not much I can do.
However, if they try the whole "God is working through my human hands" bullshit, I'm calling swat
They are the ones that work forces tho.
Right? Arm up, comrade.
Oh I know. Just play the game since they are so easily manipulated. In other regimes, the extra-judicial killings were done with paramilitary, not established forces. They would use established forces, but play to their policies.
So you set them uo against eachother.
Results not guaranteed if you are non white.
FBI, open up!
The MO for every exalted leader in history. No, no, I'm not saying I am God, I'm just his go to guy.
I'm pretty sure the implication is the latter. No one will come out and directly say it but there are certainly nuts in the crowd interpreting as a call to arms. Unfortunately I've lost three friends to this trump shit and I've heard the way they twist what is said to fit their beliefs.
Needs more Burger King.
"The kind of man who demands that government enforce his ideas is always the kind whose ideas are idiotic." - H. L. Mencken
You know, at first I thought like, if they are going to worship a god, surely there must be a better choice.
Then I remembered these people also believe in the Old Testament god, and it made sense.
You'd think the old one had seen something like this coming and made royal succession a cardinal sin.
Fuck the republican traitor filth.
Republicans today are wild.
Republicans have been wild for a long time, these days they're rabid

Wearying. I think I'll sneak off to Mexico or something.
SoooâŠ. Weâre considering AI drivel laced op-ed pieces as news now? My how far weâve fallen.
haha i will always call you a cunt, you cunt.. every single person who voted for you is an ignorant pig, and i will spit in their faces for the rest of their lives..
Put not your trust in princes or sons of men, in whom there is no salvation. His breath departs, he returns to the earth. On that very day his plans perish.
And the fanatics will do his bidding in hopes of the glory they shall never obtain.
Thatâs what the canonical Bible actually says; so why does it not apply to Biden?
