You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It’s world news. And yeah there’s a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there’s plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that’s lacking?

I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.

The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.

Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even a problem?

As for liberals causing problems, yeah maybe they go a bit too far some times and can be over sensitive. But the other side is literally trying to take us back to theocracy, where women only have the rights their husbands will allow them. They’re not even pretending otherwise any more. I’ll take oversensitive over that any day.

Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.

The US can say what they want, Netanyahu knows going against Israel is political suicide. Whatever threat they make won’t have any teeth. He could care less what Biden or anyone else wants.

Biden has said he won’t support any Israeli attack on Iran. Whether he’ll live up to that if push comes to shove…?

Unbox it live on YouTube!

I mean no one is saying Iran is the good guy here but Israel bombing embassies on foreign soil feels a best a bit terrorism-adjacent?

Man it must be tough working in politics. The constant slamming left and right would give me a headache.

That’s fine. Everyone had their revenge, let’s leave it at that. Everyone go back home.

Jesus Christ are you really this stupid? Being critical of the mass murder of an entire population is the same as supporting terrorists?

And if they were a single ideologically aligned block that would mean something.

It’s time to give up the idiotic ageist boomer hate and focus on the real enemy: large capital.

It’s almost like there’s no such thing as “the boomers” that all share the same characteristics based on their age group, but rather that they are a highly diverse and ideologically varied group of people like any other.

Possibly paid patsies ready to take the fall. Or some intern the bank is willing to throw under the bus.

Those damn boomers at it again. Effecting actual change and… Wait…

Not to interrupt your hate parade against the wealthy, fully on board with that, but most store owners also absolutely hate homeless people around their stores. For somewhat understandable reasons but still.

And apparently also to show some people find it more important to include a stupid divisive sneer in their rhetoric rather than get their actual point across.

Virtual desktops are superior to additional physical monitors. I’m fully prepared to die on this hill.

Then neither is black right? Race doesn’t actually exist of course, the only race is human. But we like to put people in boxes so we came up with the white race and the black race and so on. Because we’re all idiotic monkeys that love labels.
