i mean its hard to be empathetic about 2000 people dying its kinda too much its hard to think about so many people as people its hard to think in that scale when it comes to people.
do u not know about the concept of context? also u are in the english speaking part of the internet 99.99% of the time it is about america, its a pretty safe assumption, and it is infact what this is about, so how about u stop spewing vile right wing bullshit and u learn how to read the room. either way we are done.
the fascism is coming from inside the house my clown. u are going to vote for the sidekick and supporter of a self proclaimed zionist. She IS a fascist, she supports genocide.
u think voting for california's ex head pig is gonna keep black people safe from pigs??? how does that work? how does continuing the "i think we can all agree what we need is to found the police" regime make black people safe from pigs?
Also how would republicans be worse than Palestinians than the continuation of a regime currently led by a self proclaimed non jewish zionists.
also also democrats could have and did nothing to protect womens bodily autonomy and they have done next to nothing for lgbtq people or any other oppressed peoples for that matter.
but non of that matters there is regime in power which is genocidal which has done everything in its power to support and aid a genocide, u can either support it or not, that is all.
what sides are u talking about the capitalist dont wanna solve shit they want to destroy the system entirely.
oh shit my bad how could i forget, every time u want to refer to something u MUST do so explicitly by name, sorry stupid mistake, how could i forget the most important rule of communication that literally everyone always follows because thats how things work.
first off not american eww dont disrespect me like that but second it literally is about america thats what the meme is about thats what everyone in the comments is talking about
bruh u are in the english speaking internet in a discussion about homelessness in the us, if u are ignorant of the situation thats ok but fuck off.
"we have to vote for a genocidal regime because the other guy is even worse"
U can vote for genocide or u can vote 3rd party, that is that. Maybe u can excuse genocide, amerikkkans are very comfy with it and have always love doing it but i can not.
the cause of homelessness is pretty fucking obviously the price of homes, the fucking audacity to look at hundreds of thousands of employed people with otherwise normal lives who just cant afford to have a roof over their heads and proclaim that it is because they have mental health or drug problems rather than the self evident explanation that its corporate greed, its just something else.
supposedly thats what politicians and lawyers and consultants are for, asking random people for the details of massive social programs, as a general argument against said programs seems kinda fucking stupid. Not saying most people are dumb to be clear we arent, its just that by the very nature of expertise most people dont have it on any particular area.
but unhoused reflects the fact that it is a societies duty to house its people, houseless like homeless leave it up to interpretation, whereas unhoused makes it more clear that this is a failing of the system not of individual people.
dude forgor fr**ch exists, i understand tho we all want to forget the Fr**ce.
sometimes im frustrated at peoples understanding of effort. idk like if people see someone struggling with something because they are stupid but they have motivation they see that as really trying and they think that worthy of praise but if they see someone getting similar results in the end but struggling with motivation rather than something else they think that person is just lazy and isnt trying.
just something i have noticed and which annoys me.
its not even true if she said she was against genocide and would put a stop to it as soon as she had power and openly criticized Biden for his support of genocide she would get waaaaay more votes. But also genocide is just straight up too high a price regardless of what is in the other side of the scale.
the incompetent ones who could not see reality blinded by their own shitty ideology? Well good news amerikkka has been blessed with abundance in this regard.
u will probably feel less welcomed if u arent white and male and a rightoid in 4chan than reddit but honestly not by much, i think the critical difference is that on reddit u can filter ur experience so all the shits stains hang out in their own subs and the normal people avoid them, but im not sure if that is actually better, because it permits a site which is at least tolerant of some of the shittiest ideologies and prejudices around to be main stream while everyone rightfully regards 4chan as what it truly is.
i suppose its much the same here with lemmy being pretty respectable but with vile people being allowed to leak thru from right wing cesspools like lemmy.world.
people always compare Chinas percent of people who speak their native tongue to genocidal states like amerikkka and canada but honestly it compares very favorably to european countries too where minorities sometimes massive ones like the occitanians in france have experience a slow cultural genocide and most people seem not to care.
the grass is roughly as green on the other side, android is no better for privacy unless u are willing to put in an unreasonable amount of work into it which isnt worth it for most peoples threat profile, i recommend switching passwords on everything and maybe factory resetting ur phone. Also u should switch but only because apple makes garbage products.
so says br***sh petroleum anyways, straight up complete ahistorical bullshit, actually learn some history just once just fucking once, acid rain didnt get fucking fixed because "CoNsUmErS dEcIdEd To Be ReSpOnSiBlE aNd StOoPeD bUyInG tHiNgS wHiCh ReSuLtEd In SuLfUr PoLlUtIoN" it got fixed because governments around the world pushed by organized demands from working people lead by scientists made it illegal to not use filters that would capture the sulfur, the ozone hole, remember that? u know how it got fixed it fucking wasnt because "CoNsUmErS dEcIdEd To Be ReSpOnSiBlE aNd StOoPeD bUyInG tHiNgS wItH oZoNe EaTiNg ReFrIgErAnTs In ThEm" it was solved because governments were forced by the people to issue policy that banned the use of such refrigerant. And the story is the same with water, and air pollution, and with basically everything else.
But now when it comes to the most important fight for our survival and the preservation of our environment were are supposed each individually do our bit and buy the right thing, FUCK OFF with ur fossil fuel propaganda, we will NEVER win this fight if we are reduce to mere "CoNsUmErS".
