I'll take "things that never happened" for 1000

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, basically nobody talking about Iran or the strait or the slush fund amirite?

If you can't hold at least this much in your mind at once it's not our fault.

In actuality that particular score was EA's community team getting roasted for defending loot box bullshit.

Yeah, they often get deleted before that value, and it’s not what I expected of the up-down vote system.

Let's see if this works. Democrats got us here by rigging the primaries against Bernie in 2016 and then approving the genocide in Palestine in 2023.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't think this really counts as a Democrat/Neo-liberal forum really. You'll find more in agreement probably than disagreement.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Depending on the time and day and mood, neoliberals do come in larger numbers and downvote to defend the DNC and chant the mantra "vote blue no matter who", while refusing to learn the lessons for their repeated failures of defeating the orange pedophile who should be easy to defeat.

Watch and learn:

Bernie would have been third term president we needed

This has to be bait. Theres no fucking way you didn't pick the transphobic billionaire property on purpose for this meme about purity tests.

ah yes the whole thing where there can only be one wrong thing at a time and multitasking is a lie. republican logic is at it again.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 11 points 2 weeks ago

It’s exactly what happens. The Epstein files are not being talked about much at all.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

The problem is that the media (owned by the epstein class) also didn't want to talk about those things. So the algae and UFC are perfect excuses to have something else to talk about that doesn't really hurt trump.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 weeks ago (16 children)

I will never understand Lemmy’s obsession with trying to make the left fight itself.

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

Ooh that's kinda just what the left is like in general. Some real no true scotsman type shit.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

From my own viewpoint as somebody living in Europe but not in the UK (though I lived there for over a decade), there are a lot of people here from places like the US and the UK who think they're Leftwing and yet are just parroting the slogans of the mainstream "supposedly left-of-center whilst in practice hard right" parties with authoritarian tendencies in those countries (Democrats in the US, New Labour in the UK).

People in countries with VERY to the Right Overtoon Windows have been deceived into thinking they're leftwing all the while claiming (again and again, for decades) that leftwingers have an obligation to vote for Hard Neoliberals to stop the Fascists and looking at other human beings and them seeing first and foremost as members of identitarian groups based etnicity, gender or sexual orientation (the exact same perspective as the Fascists) who they claim should be treated differently from other groups whilst calling with no irony that their desired differentiated treatment based solely on etnicity, gender or sexual orientation is "positive" and "fighting for equality" even whilst avoiding the whole "for all without looking at skin color, gender or sexual orientation" Equality part of the real fight for Equality.

There are tons of infighting in the Left, but what we see here in Lemmy is mainly not that but rather liberals from Anglo-Saxon nations thinking they're leftwingers and attacking actual leftwing ideas.

We can definitelly see some infighting between Communists, Socialists, Anarchists and Social Democrats in those places where hexbear hasn't been blocked but the main supposedly leftwing "infighting" we see in Lemmy (especially in the lemmy.world communities) is right-of-center (neo)liberals from English-speaking countries vs people with policy preferences mainly fitting the Social Democrat spectrum who aren't even ideological Social Democrats.

(All of this IMHO, of course)

Rising awareness is not necessary. The politicians know. That's why the pond and WH UFC are in the news.

The greater problems, how can society solve them without politicians?

[–] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Wouldn't the kind of person who is involved with organizing solutions to political problems be a politician by definition?

Funny idea: what if Republicans are making these ultimately inconsequential blunders to divert attention from the greater problems?

That said, the green pool and UFC are good meme template materials to use to raise awareness of said problems.

[–] when@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

If that is so then they are quite successful. Dems supporters are busy on green pond and WH Ufc while core problems like war, genocide, oligarchy, ICE, Epstein files have taken a backseat.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have they, or has most of the media gone and talked about those new things and you're also falling for news cycle bias?

I don’t think this is true.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

The whole sudden circus about this stinks of Flood The Zone.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

both of those things are distractions by MSM and AI bots from the actual things, BBB and epstein files which bothers trump and his pedo-buddies quite a bit. reddit and msms love to keep pushing whatever gaffes hes putting out.

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

BBB

The Better Business Bureau? Where's that acronym bot...

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

It could also be the Big Beautiful Bill (aka Trump Tax Cuts)

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Hold up. Are you telling me Trump and the right are doing bad things aside from mismanaging a pool and holding a tacky event? That's news to me! /s

Seriously though. Pick what you want if you're going to highlight the corruption and ineptitude and inhumanity and all that; the goal is changing (admittedly, very stupid) minds and what works for some won't work for others. If "look at what they did to our historical in monuments!" convinces some boomer moderate who's all about tradition and history, go for it.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

So... You want us to bring back covfefe?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

The focus on dunking and scoring points with your bodies on social. You get to feel vindicated without anything having to change. Actually messy positive change would be a lot more uncomfortable for some.
