Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

but who knows, I might be wrong

"But fuck it, who cares if I'm wrong, we ought to indiscriminately murder the infirm for the crime of being infirm."

I hope this motherfucker gets hit with a brick and is suddenly infirm himself. I'm sure he'll think he's the exception to the rule. Especially since this motherfucker is already 52. Sounds like he's getting old and infirm even without a brick to the skull.

Sorry for being so angry, getting cancer at 42 through no fault of my own and having jackoffs like this think I should die makes me wish they'd get a taste of their own medicine.

I remember someone who’s into qanon telling me how george Soros was funding Biden, and Biden was going to usher in a new world order with eugenics and restrictions on where you could go in your 15 min city and all that bullshit. And the Clinton’s were pedophiles yadayada. Only Trump could safe the world from the Democrat cabal of evil

It was Trump and Epstein the whole time.

(These nuts still haven’t come to earth.)

They were also saying the democrats were covering up a global pedophile cabal sacrificing children and trying to take over the world. Accusations = projections = errytime

It’s distressing that this absolutely wild insane conspiracy of ultra wealthy Zionist pedophiles theory is… true. But not limited to zionists; they’re open to everyone with a certain net worth.

I mean, I always figured it was, just that they were attributing it to the wrong people. I think the Satanic Panic was about this too, it's like, shit like this is hard to keep secret, somehow, somewhere, information will leak and disperse and slowly make its way into the collective unconscious. Like, people will know some dodgy shit is up, but not the details, not the what and hows and wheres and whos, and they will start pointing fingers in all the wrong directions, but they will know some shit is up.

Like, MAGA isn't wrong about everything- the world is fucked up and everything is deeply unjust, they are just way off on the particulars, on what exactly is the problem and who is to blame.

then with the AIDS panic help villianize all lgbqt+ people.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

notice how they never mention ultra wealthy russian oligarchs that are funding right wingers all over .

[–] Bonifratz@piefed.zip 16 points 5 days ago

Slightly off topic, but one thing I"ve learned from the files is that all these rich assholes have terrible grammar and orthography.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

There is an overpopulation of billionaires (any amount more than zero).

I'm not sure how to link a comment, but I posted a theory a few months ago https://feddit.org/comment/9887547. It looksk like I was right...

I have theory that the Republican party (note, not voters) is made of three very different factions:

Christians hoping to bring about Armageddon and the end of times so they can get to heaven. How they hope to get to heaven by supporting Trump is beyond me. In the mean time, they’ll settle for Christian theocratic dictatorship.

Atheist tech-bros that can see the environment is going to shit. Their plan is to remove as many people as possible to reduce the impact of humans on the environment, replacing them with AI and robots as needed.

Old, oil connected and/or corrupt politicians that just don’t give a fuck so long as they get a fat pay cheque. They are too rich and old to ever feel the consequences of this administration.

While they have wildly different motivations, they seem to agree on letting people die serves their goals.

It's been clear for a long time now they think wealth and influence will keep their corner of the earth nice, while the rest of us burn. Thing is, wealth and power are made-up social constructs that will fold to a loud enough collective "fuck you".

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

4400 series had a show about this, ultra wealthy were in thier enclave pristine cities while everyone was out in mad max world. judge dredd, and somewhat related like cnc3(with tiberium free areas against contaminiated red zones.

It's like watching 15 year olds having a conversation while burying to appear intelligent

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

They are children who happened to come over astronomical wealth. That's one of the few problems with capitalism- we don't want whoever happens to have most money decide the faith of humanity, because just whoever is usually a fucking immature moron. We want people who are vetted, experienced, and chosen from among us, not just whoever the fuck is most lucky or most greedy.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

exactly like ebenezer scrouge.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

it has always been

IMHO there are better ways to deal with overpopulation than fucking up the climate of the entire world, at the end the elite also live in this world.
