Not long now before ‘Donald the Cunt’ declares midterm elections cannot be held due to the civil war.

They make half a billion dollars profit a day… I’m sure they are doing ok. The only thing that would make a difference is if we all stop using Windows, Office, Edge, Hotmail etc.

This really sucks, but now is the time everyone in every state needs to get together in every bit of free time they have, find out where your local politicians live and work and protest them day and night.

No one in any position of power should be able to rest when this is happening to your country. You all need to be a little more ‘French’ and make sure if you feel worried or unsafe your representative shoulders some of that burden.

Not trans, just an ally.

Oh bollocks!

What does a war economy look like? From elsewhere in the discussion:

ramping up defense spending, lowering luxury imports, increasing stockpiles of vital materials, and reducing reliance of foreign finished goods… Moving away from global tech services and developing our own… removing reliance on US social media and technology as quickly as possible.

A few more entirely European built warships wouldn’t be a bad thing, but let’s try and leave sea mines out of future wars, they have a nasty habit of getting detached and end up floating the oceans and killing civilians.

Let’s not get into a “my war is better than your war” contest. In the mind of a demented dictator we may already be at war with him, it’s prudent to prepare for that, or any country may be caught off guard.

They did just bomb Venezuela and are threatening to take Greenland by force. It’s obvious that Trump had no moral compass at any point in his life, which is now compounded with dementia.

Any country could be next and the US military appear to not be refusing orders right now, despite the lack of justification or senate approval for any of these actions.

I also agree with virtually all this except

Publicly declaring that our “special relationship” with our “greatest ally” is dead

Putting ourselves into a war economy by ramping up defense spending, lowering luxury imports, increasing stockpiles of vital materials, and reducing reliance of foreign finished goods will signal that we are prepared for any eventually without having to declare anything.

Moving away from global tech services and developing our own is vital as part of this. Germany are already well ahead of us, and we should follow suit by removing reliance on US social media and technology as quickly as possible.

Write to your politicians and ask them to stop using X. I did, mine agreed and has not used it since. You can make a difference.

Military fatigues would actually be fitting given how badly YourParty is doing.

Brilliant! Let’s not let the downvotes kill the discourse, go on and disagree with people, but just like this, find common ground and go from there. I will try and do the same.

In future I’ll describe Corbyn as someone who looks like he doesn’t have access to regular showers, an iron, haircuts, shaving facilities,a mirror, and has looked this way for so long is the sort of person who doesn’t care about the way he presents himself, which may have a negative impact on his ability to secure votes and create a negative first impression from other world leaders…. maybe someone can suggest a pithy way that can be expressed without disparaging any socio-economic group.

With the introduction of AI slop and the usual Mis/disinformation downvotes are sometimes handy. However as we have seen here the downvote button means different things for different people.

You’re not allowed to criticise the Messiah on Lemmy.

I think the most likely explanation is I dared to criticise the Lefts Messiah on a far Left wing sub, enraging the people’s front of judea.

It may have been insensitive, but to say I was disparaging the homeless is not correct. Just try to temper your language with people who are conversing with you, because you tend to go for the extremes.

My opinion (without the pedantry this time) is how you present yourself is a choice, having a view of someone based on their choices does not make me shallow.

Using that as the only basis for your opinion of someone could be shallow, but always best to check.

You know what, fair play, you’ve actually made my insomnia enjoyable this evening.

I still maintain he would have won in 2019 if he tidied himself up a bit… and maybe objected to Brexit earlier than the the week before the election… ok I’ll quit while I’m still being mostly positive.

Wait, are you Jeremy Corbyn? I did wonder what you were up to these days.
