Damn, year 1905 ALMOST had it right when they said “nobody wants to work for wages”. A slight correction to “these wages” and they wouldve been 100 years before their time.

Fuck me I shouldve just described it as “despicable” and gotten on with my day 😂
Youd like to think thats true, it probably is. This post is from like 4-5 years ago (evidence is the “wear a mask” in the NYC account’s title). I’d guess that Mamdani has put that barbaric pratice behind the city, and that they would be moving forward on more low income housing and accessible shelters in the city.

24·4 months agoLong awaiting all my “Pro-Life” brothers and sisters to decry police violence, especially when it comes to dead kids… And yet it seems the only dead “kids” they care about are stuck in the womb; once youre out, youre on your own bucko.
Already addressed this before your post and under you. Do some more reading before just throwing shit around.
Sorry I shouldve probably said “we’d have less to complain about”. I dont support us getting involved in another war in the middle east, I support that idea EVEN LESS when we start a war in the ME without using the proper channels. And I cant disagree with you there, we constantly get involved in shit around the world that we shouldnt be, and that nobody has asked us to, in the interest of “spreading democracy”.
Thinking people are opposed to Trump invading Iran, or opposed to Trump in general because he’s “mean” is misguided at best. If Trump had gone through the correct channels, and gotten congressional approval for the “strategic combat operations” weve been involved in, nobody would have anything to complain about (other than the obvious “no new wars” and higher gas prices, but thats a different topic entirely). Trump acts as though he has absolute power in the seat of the executive, and has unfortunately surrounded himself with loyal cronies that wont tell him no. I dont give a fuck that he’s mean (it isnt even that he is, he honestly acts like a 1st grade playground bully), but I do give a fuck about him following the law, being held accountable when he doesn’t, and that he follows correct etiquette when making decisions that will effect the entire country.

politics @lemmy.world•Minnesotans strike to protest ICE surge in state: ‘No work, no school, no shopping’
10·9 months agoEver stop to think that if the media, opposing party, regular citizens, and even voters in the same party, are all calling these actions facist that maybe…JUST MAYBE… Its because it reeks of facist ideology and anyone that has studied history during the 1930s+40s know what it looks and sounds like? If everyone is screaming the same fucking thing, MAYBE ITS TIME TO LISTEN INSTEAD OF BURYING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND.

2·10 months agoTheres still a hell of a lot of RP servers up, darkRP and otherwise. Still prophunt, TTT, zombie survival, all the classics with some new niche gamemodes added in. Its had a solid like 17-18,000 concurrent players on steam even just this month I believe.

News@lemmy.world•Sharp rise in Americans applying for refugee status in Canada, data shows
131·1 year agoAnd what would you have us all do? To be honest (as a straight, white dude in America with no real minority status) im pissed as all hell. Ive watched what was initially a kinda shitty country turn to straight far right Authoritarian in a heartbeat, and I dont want any of this shit. But aside from a large scale revolution, which includes burning it all down and starting over from scratch, what the hell do we do. Our votes all count the same, so we can go out and vote but we wont always have numbers. Realistically all I feel empowered to do is bitch on social media UNTIL something big pops off, and then go participate in it.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Reddit bought giant ads in Paris, urging people to join English
1·1 year agoSee I dislike this mentality though. Shouldnt the point of business be to make a product thats widely popular and accessible to essentially everyone? Unless of course your burgers are made with higher quality meat than your competitors(as an example), so you pay a little more in costs for the product itself. I really think this culture of businesses being viewed as successful only if they post “record” profits every quarter (while simultaneously rolling back policies that made the business good/popular because it cost more money) is going to absolutely break the consumers back at some point.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Who's the most ridiculed POTUS of history?
251·1 year agoMost ridiculed in history? Trump. Any scandal or even conspiracy about other presidents honestly pale in comparison to just 1 single Trump day. Its to the point where we dont even call them scandals anymore, its just another day with Trump in office.




Imma be real though homie, the two sides are not the same in their beliefs of how to handle it and thats where the problems arise. One side wants people to legally immograte, and are for changing the system to avoid as much backlog and frankly, bullshit in order to legally immigrate now. The other side wants them to illegally immigrate so they can deport them to prisons in worse countries (potentially making a buck off it too) and hunt them down using a privatised militia cosplaying as government agents (because them you have a privatised militia willing to take orders from just your side, and that leads to total authoritarian control). So its not like a “we just dont like the other side and thats why we refuse to work with them”, its more that the other side is kinda fucking evil, and working with them just means that evil gets to spill out all over the place.
