Listening to her interview on NPR was kind of wild

She had nothing but praise for Trump and defended the decision to bomb the boats in the Caribbean. Then she made a bunch of proclamations about accepting US intervention for enforcing regime change, and then advocated for doing the same in Cuba and Nicaragua

Once Maduro goes and we liberate our country, the Cuban regime will follow, the Nicaraguan regime will follow.

And for the first time in history, for the first time in history, we will have the Americas free of communism and narco dictatorships

Ive heard a few people ask if she’s a CIA asset, amd while I don’t think it’s appropriate to speculate, I can see why the question is asked. The American State Department has been trying to install western-backed regimes in central and south America since the cold war.

Part of the reason we even have narco states in the south is because of the decades long proxy battle happening there.

The Nobel prize has a weird amount of legitimacy for how often it backs western regime change

IMO this shitpost id bordering on parody, but dont let me be a killjoy

Apparently? Idk, the conservatives i know have kinda shrugged it off at this point

That first week was fun though

Not at all, I just dont think Republicans give a shit.

At least, not enough to effect their voting habits. Trump being a sex criminal isn’t a deterrent for them, but him looking weak is

Look, im not saying it isn’t a little funny, but fascists dont need narrative consistency. Yea, mocking them about it isn’t a bad idea, but dont be fooled into thinking this is some serious line of attack for them. They are desperate to be taken seriously, but dont have any qualms about shifting the goalposts to protect their in-group

Were people bothered by people asking about the emails?

Conservatives cared deeply, which is kind of the point

Is it worse than using the US military to target political opponents and deport them to Guatemala?

Libs are pretending as if yelling about this will stop the stormtroopers in their tracks as they drag you out of your car in front of your family. Republicans do not give a shit about this - in fact, trump has already been found liable for rape and guilty of bribing a porn star to keep quiet about his affair with her. This is closer to a point of pride for them than something that they’d drop support over.

Its about as cringe as Schumer quoting Kendrick Lamar in a tweet.

Just ask youself how much hilary’s emails bothered you in 2016, and you might have an idea how much republicans are bothered by epstine.

I cant wait for the conspiracy theories about this

This is the lib version of “where are the emails?”

Im seeing this just after having a while conversation about conservative Christians making a big deal about ‘finding truth in faith’ after the Kirk shooting and this feels similar to me

There’s this clear implication that the ‘truth’ can only be found through your ideological worldview, and a complete abandoning of any attempt at justifying or supporting it through reason. Any piece of information that’s misaligned is dismissed as propaganda - but what’s especially annoying is that it doesn’t even have to be coherently opposed to truth but merely distracting from what’s supposedly more important.

Americans are one of the most propagandized populations on the planet - but I wouldn’t even put Russia in the top 5 sources of it.

Well at least this means there’s a 50% chance I won’t need the retirement savings that Im not going to have

We need rate limiting for user comments, Jesus christ

Someone should compile a list of currently produced car makes and models that are free to modify and repair without software locks on them

I imagine it’s a pretty short list.

Like I said, its not about having evidence or not. It’s a disingenuous way of harassing someone for having an opinion you disagree with.

If the opinion is a rule-breaking one, then report it. If it isn’t, find a more constructive way to deal with your disagreement.

Accusing a user of being a paid troll account is against the rules in most instances, even if you somehow have strong evidence for it.

It’s an unfalsifiable claim and is frequently used as a way to harass another user over a disagreement.

YDI.

Reposting these memes shows up on everyone’s feed regardless of if they’re subscribed or federated with .ml - i’m not speaking for ‘everyone’, only pointing out who your script is impacting, which is everyone in that subset.

Not everyone has gotten banned on .ml.

Making the experience worse for everyone because you have a personal ideological disagreement with another instance is hardly what I’d consider a justified moral crusade, but it’s easy enough to block reposts when they’re coming from a single user, so you do you.

Sure, but:

• That doesn’t excuse not even attempting a first-blush attempt at authoring even just the title yourself

and

• Constantly reposing duplicates en-mass makes the experience way worse for those of us who don’t have a personal vendetta against particular target lemmy instances and who haven’t defederated with them out of spite or distaste

do what you want but this is basically just petty vandalism

Sometimes I get the vague sense that I’ve already seen a post in my /all view, but I don’t think i’ve ever seen them back to back like this. Not even the title is different
