  • Sorry, the title about republicans being outraged that democrats wouldn’t give a standing ovation to a kid with brain cancer used as a prop at the state of the union address was incorrectly paired with the article about the republicans that deported a 10 year old US citizen with brain cancer.

    What’s interesting is that when you point the hypocrisy, it doesn’t phase them. That’s because for them it’s a power move, as if to say “we get to do this but you don’t.” Except in this case what they did was ten thousand times worse than not clapping for someone.



  • VX hobbyists- I’ve noticed a lot of people start off by configuring their encabulators with the original series of kleinhoffer cam ratios, trying to get maximum deltas with the least vacuum pressure possible. It’s really better to start with dylomatic induction coefficients even if it initially seems more complicated, you’ll have an easier time later with the more commonly available j-discs.


  • It’s uncanny how much this sounds like a universal_monk talking point. And it’s one that I wholeheartedly agree with. The democrats are quite useless and seem extremely unlikely to get their shit together to come up with any meaningful pro working class platform.

    And Lemmy as a whole, too- unless I am very mistaken, it seems like mainstream lemmy is firmly in the liberal big-bank capitalist camp. Actual leftists (and here I am excluding tankies, just because of my personal ideological bias, I don’t consider them serious or capable of producing sustainable answers) are still a smallish group.

    Here’s hoping that Americans turning away from fascism will see that the democrats are not a viable alternative, and that a third party, or a new way will gain enough momentum and strength to roll over these worthless bastards, conservative and liberal, to build an America that’s good for everyone.




  • there are many many people that post articles who don’t discuss them at all.

    Yea, that’s why I wasn’t talking about you specifically.

    This is a conservative news community, for conservative news articles. Please read the sidebar

    Exactly. The card says moops.

    But I did read the sidebar and the first thing it says is that this is a place for discussion. So if a whole buncha ppl coming here and dropping off “news articles” with no discussion whatsoever, what else am I supposed to think but that these are propaganda bombs meant to disrupt reality and push a false alt-right nazi narrative? Cuz that’s what it looks like.


  • I wasn’t talking about you specifically, but you’re absolutely right, you don’t have to justify anything.

    At the same time, there is no lemmy rule that people can’t ask you why did you post this article? Do you agree/disagree? Is this your opinion and if so how do you come to that conclusion?

    And if you can’t or won’t answer, if you don’t discuss topics you bring up in a discussion area, then people are going to conclude you’re not actually here to “express your opinion”, but for some other reason.










  • Seems it may have worked though:

    Here is a quote to illustrate to other people how cold, how glib and how dismissive the attitude is for some over real people getting brutally killed. Donald, and this other Donald too apparently, don’t give a fuck about any of that. Getting paid shakedown money is all he seems to care about. Fucking despicable.

    Americans always used to root for the underdog. It’s been such a deep part of our culture from the beginning, because we were once the underdog, taking on a huge empire that wanted to subjugate and plunder us.

    Now Ukraine is the underdog. Palestine is the underdog.

    The suits in Washington today don’t care about any of that. Right or wrong don’t matter any more, just profit by any means possible, including the wholesale slaughter of entire peoples. Fucking despicable is not strong enough to describe it. Makes me just about weep.
