Lemmy’s very nature killed it for me.
It’s way too much work to try and cultivate the setup I built with ease on reddit.
I’m still here, but the site iddn’t make it easy.

As much as I dislike the 2nd Ammendment, American prosperity is built on those overseas bases and the security that they provide to our allied countries. The modern globalized economy, which has benefited us IMMENSELY as a country is built on the promise that in exchange for America keeping the world safe for trade, almost all major countries use the American Dollar to back their own currency, and all oil is paid for in US Dollars.
The real problem is that we aren’t taxing the ultra-wealthy who are the ones getting all the money from the advantages of that globalized economy.
We have well-regulated militias.
They’re called the National fucking Guard.
Every Tom, Dick, and wife-beating Harry doesn’t need to walk around with enough firepower to massacre a neighborhood.
The Constitution is a framework of government, not a goddamn suicide pact. Society and technology have changed since it was written, and we aren’t worried about needing the family musket to form a citizen militia to repel the Brits invading from Canada. And even by the end of the Revolutionary War, the myth of farmer militias gave way to the reality of a professional army.
It’s disgusting that it required someone killing themselves to motivate the cops to even pretend to care.
The cruelty is the point.
Their end goal is a population of moronic wage-slaves who are living a barely subsistence lifestyle that will believe anything told of them rather than challenging the wealth, power, and right to rule of the ruling class.
They aren’t just conservative, they’re regressive. They long for the days of Feudal lordship with themselves cast as the lords.
Shoot them down and they won’t play fuck-fuck games next time.
That’s what Turkey did to Russia and Russia didn’t make a peep and haven’t bothered them since.
Is it ethnic cleansing?
Oh boy!
Isreal and being genocidal conquerors. Name a more ironically iconic duo.
What’s that, the company infamous for being restrictive as hell in regards to usability, interoperability, repair, and even infamously went to court to defend their right to throttle their consumer’s hardware capabilities to force them to upgrade isn’t supporting their legacy hardware?
What.
A.
Fucking.
Surprise.
Sooooo. Stellaris with a Star Trek flavor?
I’m on board.
I will die before I use Windows 11.
“Upgrading” from 7 to 10 was already painful enough.
That’s it?
THAT’S FUCKING NOTHING.
I’d have more sympathy for the people of Afghanistan if they had actually fought back against the Taliban.
People say that America lost in Afghanistan, but we were basically the only thing propping up democracy. The people themselves made no effort.
Sounds like Twitter needs some obstruction of justice charges and for some people to get arrested.
Ban corporate landownership.
Full stop.
We shouldn’t just be giving a measly 24 billion.
We have something like 3 and a half THOUSAND Abrams tanks sitting in deep storage at army bases in the desert. This is the only use case for them between now and the heat death of the universe. Let’s get some fucking good out of them and send them to Ukraine.
I don’t care that we have laws about exporting them. Change the fucking laws and give Ukraine what she needs to protect democracy in Europe.
Even if war with China happens, that isn’t going to be a “we need those 3500 Abrams more than we have in active service” war. That’s going to be a “We start pumping out planes and CV(N)s like it’s WW2 again.” war.
It’s almost like Israel is a genocidal colonial state.
