And there are feces particles in every breath you take in, where the important part is, is the concentration.

Compare frontpages from 2009 to 2017 and put them side by side. Which version has the highest shit density?

Right out of the fucking woodwork, just as predicted.

Do you think the ACA that passed was the ACA originally intended? Because it wasn’t, and there’s only one party to blame for why.

I absolutely DO mind the humor because I am acutely aware of how it kills activism.

I know how dangerous it is because I saw it cripple an entire generation through apathy, sarcasm, and ‘being above it’. I saw the groundwork of today’s fascist rise it the absolute detachment and knee-jerk memery that everyone of my generation responded to literally any threat with.

And it made us (GenX) absolutely irrelevant in politics and human rights to this fucking day.

So, no, humor isn’t harmless, and it isn’t a good cope, but it’s great for convincing everyone to do nothing but doomscroll and meme.

Which is exactly what the fascists want us to do.

There can be organic sources. Yes my parents were shit to me when I was a kid but that didn’t give me IED, I had IED and autism WHILE they were being abusive and that gave me ptsd and depression.

So not all kids problems are parent caused.

Someone please ban this bot

^ This is the exact unconscious commodification capitalism infects normal brains with. Everything has to be a zero sum transaction, no mutualism is possible and every relationship boils down to a network of debts.

The wort part about it is that those most affected by this mental illness are the ones that actively fight to normalize it.

My parents didn’t wait till I was 18, a week after my 13th birthday they dropped me off at foster care, no warning. I thought we were going to the store.

Congrats on propagating a fascist meme, good job working for the enemy so hard.

As a side business I consult and install security systems in small businesses and homes.

Literally none of them want the cable option, no matter how hard I push it.

The cost of running the cable and the time needed always is the dealbreaker.

Doesn’t matter if its insecure, they just want it to work now and be cheap.

Ok, enjoy sitting passively and watching and memeing as literally the greatest existential threat to human freedom slowly rises.

What you non-Americans can do: Stop meming, clear the air, show solidarity.

But no, just like history shows us:

When the world has a problem, America has a problem

When America has a problem, America has a problem.

I’m sure we can just sort this out real quick for you so you can go back to eurovision or living in buildings more than a hundred years old. I’m sure we’ll be fine.

Those were mostly dead before you were born and you have likely never personally suffered at the hands of right wing violence.

My niece had her hand broken by a rancid nazi flag waving trumpfucker for having the gall to stand up for trans rights, but I’m sure the old-timey pro-nationalist graffiti you’ve have occasionally been forced to observe was just as harmful.

There are literal hard right militias training with military grade equipment on our own soil RIGHT NOW, and it is likely that most of the police force will join them.

No one you know or love is at threat more than my own family right now and I will NOT sit by quiet while greasestains like you try and marginalize this.

I’m tired of people making light of this, I’m tired of people being passive about this, there is only one way that considering Biden stepping down literally weeks before the election, and that is everyone, not just Americans, clearing the discussion space for people who seriously desire and possess the ability to prevent trump from being elected. Yet EVERY SINGLE online space is carpet bombed with bots and human forum manipulators who are ALLOWED to exist because they hide in the memes and the jokes, being able to muddy the discussion and break morale all under the guise of ‘it’s a prank bro’ so they are immune to being called out. It’s already been well established that Lemmy mods are just as careless and agenda driven as the reddit mods we fled here to escape, so we can’t count on THEM clearing the conversation. It has to be the users, by:

1. Not memeing for clout for a few fucking weeks for one goddamn time in human history
2. Downvoting to oblivion everyone who does
3. Only bringing content that forwards the goal of preventing twice impeached, convicted felon ex-president 45 out of office.

But this will never happen, because the users have ‘the right to play’, and their discourse of subtle anti-Harris ‘humor’ will spread like cancer, just like the anti-Hillary meme machine of 2016, and every mod and their mother will fight for those shitheads rights to slide us further and further into fucking fascism.

Being humorous about overwhelming things is how the fuck cheetolini got his first term.

How about we stop being humorous and acknowledge that the U.S. going fascist is literally the worst thing that could happen to the planet since the last meteor-driven mass extinction.

You are a liar and the wayback machine can prove it to anyone who searches.

If I had an upvote for every time someone thought that was even slightly original…

Yes, that’s what rational people do, pick the less damaging choice.

What the FUCK is wrong with you people who actively choose the more damaging choice for lulz?
