This is honestly the first time I’ve seen pretty much anything about it.
No, I saw an article about it. It was just overshadowed by Elon.
Just wait for the German Fasching (Carnival) parades, we will bring back the floats depicting Don taking it up the ass from Vlad.
LOLOLO! That was one of the floats! Danke!
They’ve got their work cut out for them this year! Now that the US government has gone full fucking Nazi I’m expecting some well-deserved brutally scathing criticism.
Scary part is that the protests within America were not covered, or were barely mentioned.
The 20th was Trump’s inauguration + MLK, so a LOT of people marched across the US. That said, most of the coverage is from small local papers and broadcasters. The big new orgs shied away.
The revolution will NOT be televised
No but I don’t really care what non-americans think of my president
Proofing again how dumb and ignorant the maga cult is
I stand by what I said, what is wrong with it?
You mean apart from the bigotry and hate?
Because there’s also the “how dare you care about your child more than people you aren’t personally responsible for!” thing.
There is no bigotry or hate, just a lack of empathy from the person I’m replying to. It sucks what’s happening to their son, but what’s happening in gaza is 10x worse by any metric.
No, a lack of empathy is telling someone they should care less about their own child’s life being at risk, and who cares because they’re trans, than people on the other side of the world.
That is about as unempathetic as you can get. And I’m amazed you don’t realize it.
The premise that parent puts forward is that I should be OK with genocide as long as his kid is ok. That’s unemphatic. By any metric of the situation, one issue is far more important and extreme than the other.
They said nothing of the sort. That’s just a lie.
And no, by any metric of the situation, a person’s child is far more important than anything else in their life. Or should be. Because that child didn’t ask to be born. They are owed everything.
And in this case, this child’s life is in danger because of a genocide of trans people that is already well underway and that you apparently don’t give a shit about. I guess there’s only one genocide that matters.
And what exactly have you done about it other than berate people for caring more about their own children than they do the genocide in Palestine? Because I spend hours each week contacting politicians for JVP. Before I escaped on Monday with my own queer child (who you probably think I should also not care about), the staffers at Larry Buschon’s regional office were sick of me going there twice a month.
Have you done anything other than sit on your ass and tell people not to care about their kids?
Saving this one for the next time I’m hit with the “the whole world thinks we’re a joke with [democrat] in charge. This is why Trump is great. The world respects us with him leading.”
I’ll be honest: The world thinks y’all are a joke no matter who’s in charge, though Trump is a worse joke.
We liked Obama, what’s he up to now? Think you could convince him to grey his hair a little more due to actually taking the job seriously?
Unfortunately he respects the rules to much to run for a third term
It’s ok, trump is fixing that rule, so Obama can come back even following the rules. But even if not, I bet there is probably at least 1 more person that would be a good president, we haven’t seen much evidence of that… but they must exist.
Trump is changing the rules so that only he can run again
When Clinton was president, we were a sex joke. When Bush jr. was president, we were a funny joke. When Obama was president, we were a meme. When Trump was president, we were a sad joke. When Biden was president we were a dad joke. With trump president again, we’re now a sick joke.
With trump president again, we’re now a sick joke.
Sure seems like we’re heading towards literal gallows humor. (Whose gallows remains an open question.)
What the hell, I had no idea. I heard nothing.
Now everyone will hear something.
I saw nothing about this as an American living in a blue state.
Because protests accomplish absolutely nothing in America without violence. The billionaires are nice and comfy in their ivory towers, they have no concern for the peasants on the streets. If they are comfortable then nothing changes.
Nope, I haven’t seen a single news article about it. Guess our propaganda machine is better than we thought it was.
Seems like it hasn’t been this bad since when Bush launched Iraq war 2… basically every major city in the US and Europe had huge protests, and it got almost exactly 0 coverage outside of local news covering your local city.
Now all the local news in the US are just Sinclair subsidiaries/franchises.
I don’t think it’s the propaganda machine (or maybe this is), but in the US, almost nothing is reported from other countries. If 100,000 people died in some wild natural disaster outside the US, we would get almost no real details, but we would get the full life story of the one American that was killed who was from New Jersey. It’s just the way our media is. No real information. Just dumb sap stories.
It’s the same reason the Republicans haven’t been able to identify when they’re ingesting blatant Russian propaganda. They’ve never seen or heard it before outside of their favorite American talking head.
Meanwhile in the rest of the world the news was flooded with information surrounding Trump. It’s a weird time we live in.
It wasn’t showing up on Lemmy either.
I’m seeing it on lemmy right now
Did you see it on Inauguration Day?
I didn’t see shit about this on Inauguration Day
