I guess the clue was in the name, I'm done with this shitty instance,

  • I find it a little frustrating that you think any of this started with, because of, or will end with cheeto.

    This:

    a fractured nation, a failing education system, crumbling infrastructure, and a healthcare system that leaves millions behind

    has always been the case, and it is a feature, not a bug. Always has been.

    And it will never change as long as you continue to focus on the things the system tells you to focus on (like team red vs team blue, or the clown at the front of the stage) rather than on the system itself (a state mechanism built on slavery and genocide from day dot, and designed and enforced by and for the rich and powerful, who are the ones actually pulling the strings) and abolishing that.

    And before OP gets their underwear in a twist - all states are oppressive and should be abolished, but a country founded on and with the biggest hard on for capitalism on the planet, and who has the power to, and has been since its founding, loudly and aggressively dragging the rest of the world on a race to the bottom (if not directly with war mongering and political interfering, then with profiteering off of their enemies war mongering and politically interfering), deserves all the criticism it gets, and the fact that it's easier for you to create a straw person to dismiss the perfectly valid and long overdue criticism, than it is to hear them and sit with the mild discomfort it causes you to hear the truth and confront reality, is a you problem, not a lemmy problem.

  • He let’s me freely hang out at his nice place full of amenities so I can’t badmouth him

    Lmfao, no, you can, you just like the taste of boot, and the benefits he gives you (that he only has because he exploits people like you) too much to.

    Also, those last two points in the meme, as well as this being your only post on a new account strongly suggest that this is a troll, or at the very least, a really sad LARP, rather than observations made by someone who has ever spent any time at all with any actual rich people.

  • being patient like that definitely a skill that is not always easy to get right, and certainly takes practice.

    What it mostly takes is mountains of privilege.

    Not to mention that tone policing and demanding faux civility (but only from one side, the other gets to openly support oppressive constructs and still be seen as "well meaning" while those defending their humanity and fighting for survival get framed as the problem) are tools that serve to further oppress already marginalise voices, not uplift them.

    Do better.

  • He’s propaganda for American exceptionalism sure, but also embodies it in an old school New Deal way. The character has been consistently anti-facist over the years.

    Pretending that America isn't only already fascist, but inspired the fascists they are supposedly against is American exceptionalism, and you're eating it right up.

  • There are a lot of existing alternatives to temp mail, you shouldn't need to resort to anything he has to offer..

  • I'm certain you didn't mean that they are, but the meme format kinda implies it, so I just thought I'd point out from here on that intersection that the two groups aren't mutually exclusive😊

    (also shout out to fellow enby and or agender afabs lol)

    Otherwise both this and op are sadly spot on.

  • No, continuing to consent to, participate, and put faith in the sham that is electoral politics is the compromise.

    The fact that people see the impact of direct action, and can't resist the urge of their indoctrination to force it in to the box that is the constructs and systems that they're familiar, and therefore comfortable with, even in an expressly leftist community, is frustrating as hell.

  • I couldn't help it 😊

    (edit to clarify, just in case: couldn't help but describe them that way. I just realised how confusing that phrase might be in isolation to someone who isn't a native speaker, or maybe my stoned and tired brain is just overthinking it lol)

  • I discovered this game via a lemmy comment, and I feel like it's my duty to pass the addiction along: Cookie Clicker (I play on pc, but it looks to me like it'd be pretty light on mobile)

  • I'm in the UK, we have the NHS, and several "sin taxes", and they still pretty much exclusively penalise the poor (as does the NHS which has been defunded to oblivion in favour of rampant privatisation, so those who can't afford to go private are left with the ruins), while those selling the "sinful" products (and private health insurance) continue to rake it in.

    There is no taxing or legislating or regulating our way our of capitalism, which is exclusively responsible for those in power exchanging the health and well being of the population and the planet for profit, and they will never allow any tax or legislation or regulation to pass that would put them at any kind of disadvantage. The fact that some people still think they would, is frankly quite terrifying.

  • He also wouldn't have made it to this point alive were he Black, nor would he have the same kind of support had he previously spoken out about Black liberation or the Land Back movement for example, rather than how "removedism" is the cause of racism.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - him shooting a CEO was good and inspiring, putting anyone up on a pedestal, starting a cult of personality, and ignoring some or all of the different systems of oppression at play, is definitely not.

  • I now have the hilarious image in my head of a toddler giving their granny a pat down (image of one in case the term isn't familiar to everyone), thanks! 😂

  • E: replied to wrong person, oops! 😂

  • Jokes are meant to be funny.

  • Ah yes, crabs in a bucket, doing yet another of the capitalist's jobs for them.. 🙄

  • I'm honestly not sure what the point of your story is, if anything, it was a surprisingly good result that the teacher was removed and the child wasn't abused any further, and quite gross that the protest was against this happening. Sounds like you agree with the protestors and were not happy with that result and think the child should have been subjected to even more scrutiny? Which is an odd point to try and make around a group of autistic people talking about being abused by schools and other institutions.

    Literally last month an autistic kid was arrested and suspended for a "bomb threat" AFTER all they found his bag was a stuffed toy.

    Also

    a otherly-able (I hope this is a okay descriptor)

    No, it's not ok. Disabled is the word you are looking for.
