This is what happens when politics becomes team sports in a country where critical thinking is discouraged. Every time I see someone post “vote blue no matter who”, I become just a little bit stupider.

I get it. The United States has two political parties that have politics locked down. If you don’t vote for the blue team, the red team wins the championship and gets the trophy er, presidency. Red team is a bunch of fascists, blue team is fascist adjacent. Red team promises to hurt the right people and further institute a surveillance state, blue team promises to fight the red team, maybe provide better policies (the red team will just undo in four years), and further institute a surveillance state. Both will happily kill little brown kids to further enrich old white men.

What is discouraging is the number of people who freak out when someone points out both teams suck. The “get out of here with your both sides bullshit”. No, you just live in a shite country with terrible politicians. Both sides suck. If that upsets you so much that you can’t even consider it, you suck too.

Jokes on them - all of my content is both free and ad free. 🏴‍☠️🦜🏴‍☠️

It’s thicc.

So THIS is what the communists were talking about when they told me about the benefits of transitioning to a cacheless society!

hating on Israel, wich by definition is antisemitism.

It’s official, they’re trolling. No one is this stupid… Right?

What a class A moron. You can’t even respond to a single thing they say, so it’s just “mental diarrhea”. Every one of your comments is evading their points so hard, your mental gymnastics would qualify you for the Special Olympics if they didn’t have a minimum IQ requirement.

I also hate it when I find shitposts in my shitpost community.

Hey everyone! I don’t understand racism in the slightest but I’m sure going to tell everyone my opinions on it!

Fixed that for you.

Oh do fuck off

Daaaamn, dog. Louisiana is going to need to invest a lot of money into reforestation after that sick burn.

We gave a shit back then too, they just were different words that we cared about.

Definitely, but it’s mostly twenty to thirty somethings, some forties. My wife and I are nearly in our fifties and occasionally make a fake account to whatever service is big that year/decade to see what we’ve been missing. We don’t feel like we’re missing much.

A buddy of ours of similar age is a widower and, after many years, has decided to try dating again. He’s meeting women but has variable results. I can’t say he’s having better or worse dates than when meeting people in person, but he’s having a lot more of all the dates, so it’s like they’re more concentrated.

Trolling or just a dumbass?

Both! Do both!

Republicans: Keep political statements that challenge my beliefs and make me uncomfortable out of my sports/TV/video games/etc!

Fixed that for you.

That’s my take. I use a CBD vape or oil for arthritis pain and it noticably makes a difference. The oil takes awhile to kick in but it makes me get pretty goofy at higher doses, even without THC in it.

My buddy and I were just talking about this. Juggalos get a lot of shit, but my experience is that they are one of the most accepting groups around. It doesn’t matter if you’re a PhD or are stealing copper out of abandoned houses, if you show up with some clown makeup and fire poi, juggalos are down to clown.

Agreed, it’s varying levels of culture war bullshit intended to keep the working class from unifying. The only thing that prevents it is awareness.

GTFO of here, this is Reddit Lemmy. Anyone providing anything useful for free must be subjected to intensely unfair scrutiny or the whole system falls apart.

But really, this place is increasingly turning into Reddit and it’s depressing.
