Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Thanks America and your elected regime for meddling in everyone's lives. You might be shocked to learn your popularity is waning.

The sad (but unsurprising) thing is, whenever you encourage them to actually take a risk and take some kind of collective action to bring down the pedophile, they say "my job, I'm scared" when in the same paragraph, they talk about how they're one paycheck from utter destruction.

They don't realize that they literally have nothing to lose at this point.

Why haven’t you gotten rid of Erdogan and Orban yet?

Came off as abrasive, but your point stands.

Political support for the alt-right is booming across Europe. The last thing you European folks need to do is raise your nose at the American tire fire. Deal with your own, before its too late.

Not my country, I'll deal with the Nazis in mine thank you.

It sounds like USAians expect everyone else to solve their problem.

You literally listed the one thing we have left to lose

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, it's affecting you now. What are you going to do about it?

[–] FederatedFreedom1981@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Protect my country, should any USians try to invade.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would I givr away my strategy to you? It's none of your business, frankly.

Americans are all cucks. The French would have had his head by now and rightfully so.

Like those armchairs you sat in when you could have voted and handled the pedophile in a peaceful manner. I just wish that the rest of the world wouldn't have to suffer the consequences of your weakness and stupidity.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh right, I forgot to vote! There are ~330m of us, we're not a monolith. I did vote. I'm not getting shot by the fucking SS because some pussy on the other end of an internet connection says there's "more I could be doing". Idiot.

[–] FederatedFreedom1981@lemmy.ca -5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The conversations I'm having with you should be the ones you have with your fellow countrymen.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Presumptuous of you to think I haven't.

[–] FederatedFreedom1981@lemmy.ca -2 points 21 hours ago

This is a good thing then, I hope that it has resulted in some action from them.

Honestly, I hope that the May 1st protest becomes the start of a sustained general strike. At this point, that's the only thing that will work, rather than armed rebellion, which I don't think any sane individual wants.

The fact that our popularity is only now waning is a testament to our propaganda.

Yeah but have you considered Kamala Harris would've been equally bad? 

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Even worse, she might have also done the terrible crime of wearing something tan and that would have seriously damaged the reputation of the United States.

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago

Do you know she was endorsed by the corporates??? (Ignore Palantir and Oracle standing behind the orange turd)

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Don't forget about the laugh.
