and it'll also explain why nothing will come of it too.

the "no politics" crowd is speaking from a place of intense privilege and i know this because politics and fucked my life and seeing people support politicians who are responsible for those politics is maddening.

but only if you know enough about the fediverse to be aware; if i had no logged into like i usually don't do on these days, i would never know and spend the rest of my time on lemmy.world trying to figure out why i can't find any pirating stuff to share.

And one of the root causes is propaganda passed off as affordable education to school districts whose budgets are bieng intentionally choked off in favor of for profit education all across this country for the last 5 or so decades

Still, for a party that has spent years ignoring or denying the biggest threat to our planet’s future, tonight’s responses were actually, almost, a little bit refreshing.

setting the bar so low that any response besides outright hostility as refreshing, is not refreshing.

that content keeps me coming back as an unregistered lurker and for much longer than all of the fediverse instances combined.

they don't even have to be from trump.

so much of my extended family came over without papers, but managed to get them and now they want that trump wall built and want immigrants banned and the last election proves that it's a common thread among all latinos.

most of the ones in rural texas and suburban florida like trump; every one else hates him and there's no in between somehow; but hating on new immigrants is common everywhere.

history has proven that there is nothing you can do to please religious radicals and cow-towing to their demands will only backfire for you.

moderates are the reason why the extremist right groups exist per martin luther king's explanation: https://letterfromjail.com/

tldr: I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

this why i'm skeptical of reports that people will stop voting republican in the united states. primarily because it's been said before but also because climate change makes like harder and history has proven that whenever life gets tough; people become more xenophobic/racist/etc.

as a queer brown man; i don't want to be anywhere at all.

why 1949 and where?

it's everywhere american conservatives have a relationship and right now it's strongest in africa

because any and all barriers are effect means at preventing people from taking or doing something while still remaining legally valid.

genx is the most trumpy of all the generations and millennials are now in their early 40's; unless you're genz or younger, i wouldn't wait.

also living long enough to watch biden go from dunking on gays to get easy political points to being hailed as the most pro-gay president ever has convinced me that things change in ways that don't make sense so i now expect that, as wealth transfers from boomers to their younger relatives, we'll see fascist sentiments resurge due to newly wealthy people feeling like they need to do something to keep their new found wealth.

difference they're not on lemmy; they're people to volunteered to work in a position where they have to deal with this behavior.

reykjavik and juneau will become the biggest beach destination spots on this planet.

the puritans also founded canada and they don't have the same problems w nudity that we do; so i think it's much more than puritans.

i feel the same way, but i take the opposite approach and drink water like a dehydrated man in the desert with a thing for salt lick the whole time i drink; it makes me urinate a lot while i'm drunk, but it works.

i had the same thought: NPR did a story on alaskan pipelayers & plumbers that were starting to experience the effects of climate change on the soil about 15-is years ago and then revisited them again about 5-ish years ago. in the first set of interviews from 15 years ago, a big majority refused to attribute the issues that they were experiencing to climate change and in the second set 5 years ago, they nearly unanimously refused to attribute the issues to climate change.

climate change is now politics and any and all politics will be denied if you want it bad enough

she's WISHES! lol
