  • People have gotten sick and tired of r/pics having loads of political content, and while some candidates are better than others, many people are sick and tired of seeing “orange man bad” yet again. The people who were supposed to be propaganda targets immediately knew this was propaganda and the rampant election posts didn’t make Harris more popular. If this plan is enacted, people will see the astroturfing straightaway, and more people will see Trump supporters as bothersome cultists than as freedom fighters. It doesn’t help that, if pro-Trump people can brigade the sub, so can anti-Trump people, and the whole debacle will just get shut down.



  • Lemmy is not malfunctioning like Reddit is. It is not reliant on a dogshit mobile app that constantly breaks down; it is not overrun by reposts; it has no excessive advertisements. And there is far less manufactured outrage and misinterpreted socialism on Lemmy. And that’s not even getting into the fact that is is an app. Hooooooooly shit, I just hate apps on a smartphone as a maxim. That tiny fucking phone screen makes writing comprehensively, and citing sources, like trying to stack d10s using woolen gloves. It has all sorts of trinkets and rewards for browsing the damn app too (I suppose the admins know they have to goad you in), and any third-party apps trying to solve these problems were left without support. “No better” my fucking ass.

    Why, though? His supporters will believe anything he says. Is something going to magically snap them out of their hypnosis? Will somebody actually say, “yeah, I think Trump, who raped a 13-year-old and can’t spell out the truth for shit, is someone I want for president!”? I know she “defeated” him in the debate, but what will change?

    I don’t care. The United States has been the main perpetrator of countless war crimes across the world. It has been born out of slavery, its land is built on the Natives that were once thriving, it has forced territories under its laws without representation, it has been an apartheid state with white people ruling over colored people, it has installed countless dictatorships to protect its economic interests, its “democracy” is a sham and the Netherlands did it first, it is chiefly responsible for crimes against peace and humanity in Vietnam and Iraq, its citizens are subject to total surveillance while many of them have a lack of water, food, and shelter, its government is bribed constantly by price-gouging corporations, it will gladly use military equipment on its own citizens, and it has strived against democratic elections that are inconvenient. The United States ought to be split up into all of its independent states so the world may be free of its tyranny.
