Facebook was cancer, Meta is metastatic cancer.

Trump is a worldender, a million Americans found that out dying due to an inept and purposefully sandbagged viral pandemic response during his last administration, how man you think will die this next time around

Most of us. Project 2025 will turn the entire nation into a hell hole if it doesn’t rip it apart first.

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts says the planned transformation of American governance will be bloodless, ‘if the left allows it to be’.”

See? It won’t rip the country apart just as long as ‘the left’ let them implement it without putting up a fuss! (sarcasm tag folks)

SO GO VOTE AND NEVER GIVE THEM A CHANCE!

I was at a Pride event and a long time activist said this (about gay rights and what happened with ‘Roe v. Wade’):

If you take it for granted, they’ll take it away!

Paste this up in elderly neighborhoods with “Trump wants to take your social security away!” in big letters. Thats the shit that scares them the most.

Trump is a worldender

He’s just blowing the trumpet to signal the end. A symptom of a diseased system.

Come down to Houston where a relatively mild hurricane has knocked out power for half the city going on nearly a week. This isn’t just a Trump thing. The rot goes deep.

I’m not going to verify, because thats a long fucken time to spend scrolling an app I no longer use, but they claim they never had to use any of the strict repercussions. Do what you will with that. I know its about ads but this same stuff could happen to one of us running off of “Eat the Rich” or some shit. The article also mentions some obligation of posting to Truth Social first.

This doesn’t really matter anyways, he started his own social network, he doesn’t really want to participate in the social networks he can’t control

Biden has had a very bad not good two weeks, and Trump seemingly is untouchable with all the momentum possible, his rape and fraud conviction, pending insurrection and classified files cases notwithstanding. We're all witness to the end of things. Buy canned food, plant vegetables.

According to the latest available data, Facebook is the world's most popular and widely used social media platform. With 3.06 billion monthly active users, that means 37 percent of the world’s population uses Facebook at least once per month.

You can look at the Meta earnings reports for the numbers. They list two numbers: users of Facebook, and users of any Meta product (including Instagram, WhatsApp, etc). I think it’s around 3 biliion monthly active Facebook users (use Facebook at least once per month) and 2 billion daily active.

A fascist accelerationist is poised for a possible win in the next election, and you’ve gone full Roko’s Basilisk and have decided to aid and abet the Fascist because if he wins, you want to be spared from his wrath.

We’ll let me tell you, the fascists will eventually come for you if they are allowed to take over, so you better drop the defeatism and rally for a second Biden term like your life depends on it. Plenty of people’s do.

Or just become a fascist out of cowardice, and the resistance will show you what real fear looks like when we find you, and I assure you, Trump won’t be there to save you.

So think long and hard about what the actual stupid decision would be here. Announcing your plan to enable ethnofascism in America isn’t exactly a demonstration of intelligence if you’re hoping to avoid conflict.

Fascism has a fairly concrete definition, and while it does exist on a spectrum, I’ll take the 15% fascist party over the 100% fascist party, hands down. Not a hard decision. 15 is closer to zero than 100, so we’re closer to the ideal.

John_McMurray@lemmy.world on 13 Jul 2024 18:04 collapse

Cheems@lemmy.world on 13 Jul 2024 06:48 next collapse

You get the downvotes, but in a way you’re right. With scotus ruling the next president could do whatever they want as an official act and there would be little to no recourse. Sure they could sue but that would almost definitely get tied up in courts for a long time. Mr. Robot is just covering his own ass. That ruling by scotus will be the downfall of the wrong people are able to take advantage of it.

LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world on 13 Jul 2024 12:53 collapse

“Just covering his ass” this attitude is why our country is fucked. Well as long as it benefits the millionaire personally to be a coward and sell us out, then that’s okay

The pockets of blue are growing a little bit in some of the more affluent areas just outside of Indianapolis like Carmel (or, at least, it’s more purple than it was 20 years ago).

I’m hoping as remote work continues to grow, people move here to change the place because of how cheap it is - even in like the heart of Indianapolis lol
