It's hard to leave because it's easy to join, and because it has the critical mass of users. Simple as that. It takes a lot to get people to abandon their chats, their friends, their groups, and the years of built-up message history, for an app that likely has fewer users and fewer features.

Us: We hate Nazi Germany! Down with Hitler!

You: Heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil (etc.)

Us: Why do you love genodice so much?

Edit:

Also it bears repeating, because you're actively ignoring it, but we're not calling for the death or Israelis or Jewish people generally, but specifically the fascist state that is commiting crimes against humanity in their name. The insistence that those two are one and the same is just fascist propaganda.

It makes sense, if you equivocate the Israeli State with all Israeli people, or even all Jewish people. I don't, just as I wouldn't equivocate the Nazi German State with all Germanic peoples the world over.

I hope I live to see that fascist state smashed and dismantled.

If and when we find a better method than the scientific method, I'll start getting concerned with "Scientism." Until then, I'll keep on cheering on our best and greatest doing the hard work of making new medicine and technology for the public.

Abrego is Salvadoran, not Venezuelan. Bukele would be trading the other inmates, who are mostly Venezuelan.

The North-South divide transformed into a rural-urban divide over the course of the 20th century, especially following the Civil Rights & Voting Rights Acts of 1964, and the subsequent Southern Strategy employed by the Nixon (and subsequent Republican) campaigns. The strategy appealed to southern whites, as well as whites in suburbia and rural communities, which a lot of the Midwest and heartland states are. On top of that, add-on the collapse of Midwestern industry, with the capitol flight being blamed on Democrat policy, and you get a severe cultural shift towards neo-Confederate sympathy.

Edit: I could've added a bunch more about the media industry, especially Fox and right-wing talk radio, but I can only waste time in the bathroom at work for so long before the boss notices.

Edit 2: fuck shit fuck also the Democrats sucked ass for a long time and culturally associated themselves with cultured, cosmopolitan urbanites, dropping the old-school working class blue-dog persona they had during the New Deal.

He's a fascist, and is disgusted by European Social Democracy. This is why they're aligning the US with Russia, because they're a fellow fascist oligarchy.

It's really not that complicated.

There's a lot of people who didn't follow his twitter shenanigans closely, and only knew him as the "Tesla electric car guy," but since the election he's been in the spotlight.

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

He said that, yes.

And oddly enough, "Unscrupulously Sourced Remains" is a casual sex group! /s

The Finns are all too aware of what far-right government means, they're living next to it, and it's threatening their very existence.

Congratulations on the Fins voting against barbarism! Here's to hoping the upcoming election here in the USA follows suit, and continues to reject reactionary nationalism.
