Never. Trust. An. American. They are worse than a fucking maggot, with respect to maggots

Amen brother

You don’t even know it’s happening, that’s a huge part of the problem. If I trust everything I’m an idiot, if I don’t trust anything, then what do I believe? It just reinforces echo chambers and comfortable narratives.

I will say that Lemmy has been a place where I can actually have a discussion. Why? Because it hasn’t been bought and sold by special interests and bot networks. X, Reddit, they all have. This will too if it becomes popular enough.

Saw this and thought it was appropriate:

Since day 1, in his 20s, he has been ahead of his time. Dinosaur means people who think the status quo in politics is gonna work. It won’t. Bernie is anything but a status quo guy.

Yeah thanks for repeating what I said

They’re winning because they’ve mastered the art of manipulation via social media. Culture wars and 9 second clips. It won’t last, and lefties are going to start speaking to their base again once people see through the manipulation and bullshit.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, CUE THE CULTURE WARS!

Not trolling: social media. It’s a mind virus used by both sides to ignite hate and culture wars. It uses 9 second video clips to project the actions of the few onto the many, making you hate entire groups of people without understanding basic statistics. The “feel it in your gut” crowd chose those words for very specific reasons.

Social media is a curse.

Remove the dinosaurs. Where are the strong confident aggressive lefties at? We need more Bernies!
