In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don't know where the money has gone. But not everybody is going begging. Amnesty International, Greenpeace and the United Negro College Fund announced record earnings this week, due mostly to large, anonymous donations.

Hack the planet!

Bankruptcy is a specialty of their leader. Perfect!

Stop posting US politics here. Why would anybody outside the US who comes here for "Technology" be interested in that?!

[-] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 53 points 3 months ago

Just because the technology involves politics shouldn’t mean it can’t belong here also. Why do they have to be mutually exclusive? I’m not pushing my beliefs on anyone here.

If you read the article (which I can only assume you did), it goes into detail about a how even hackers from Black Hat and DEFCON (two well known cybersecurity conventions) were donating to a cause they believe in. It even goes on to talk about hacking voting machines.

Seems like “technology” to me.

Is this politics?

[-] doodledup@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You mean my answer? I'm in Germany. I don't care about US politics. President this, president that. Literally don't care.

Stop posting ~~US~~ politics here. Why would anybody ~~outside the US~~ who comes here for "Technology" be interested in that?!

Seriously, IDGAF where it is, this post is not about technology at all.

I can't prove it's true for you, but every time I read messages like this I think "lol look at that Uber conservative with bad ideas"

Edit: in your case the problem appears to be explosive diarrhea, not being a conservative. Consider me corrected. However another person heavily agreeing with you validates my bias so I'll stick with it ;)

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Wait, what? Did you reply to the right person?

Unfortunately, unless it is a moderators’ rule, this just won’t happen.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Well, it's technically related

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

206 up, 20 down.

The nerds have spoken.

I agree with you though.

The majority of english-speaking Lemmy users are from the US. Sadly, they think that they are the onle ones. More importantly, they think that US politics is important to everyone outside of the US.

[-] ruse8145@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah us politics don't really impact anyone else on the planet outside of the 50 states

[-] doodledup@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It does affect other countries but not to the extent that people in the US think. The whole english internet is full of random election articles and posts. Yet in German news for example, barely anyone even mentions the US election. Harris is a new candidate and she now has a vice president. That's pretty much the whole news of the entire month. It's a side-quote. It's really not that important.

[+] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world -13 points 3 months ago

How much U.S. military $$ is spent in Germany? You should shut up.

[-] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

Oh, not the "we fund you" narrative again. 🙄

The US military spent a lot in Europe, yet when Ukraine was first invaded this proved to be completely and utterly useless.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world -4 points 3 months ago

Shut up, dimwit.

I hate that the U.S. hasn't done tremendously more aggressive defense of Ukraine.

That's just a tiny fraction of the overall financial investment across the EU.

[-] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

"Shut up SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!1!1!"

Lmao

[-] doodledup@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago

This arrogance of some Americans is astonishing. You enjoy playing world police but you have no rights to force it on others especially when it's not even related to the discussion. Literally don't care where you spend your GDP. We spend it on the people, you spend it elsewhere. I don't judge you if you stop judging us. We don't spam European news on you but you should really read it anyways because I feel like you have a gap in your education.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago

None of your gobledygook negates the fact that HUGE amount of $$ into Germany is incredibly important. And our politics make that happen.

There is zero argument against that.

I like Germany. I've been there while in the Army. I've been there as a civilian. I have no complaints or issues with Germany.

Yet, I'll tell you again, "shut up" about bitching about U.S. politics. Our politics might be even more important to Germany than our own shit.

In closing, STFU.

You're spending that money for your military imperialism. Not because you're generous. And because you're doing this anyways, we were smart about it and opted to spend our money in a better education and health care system. There is nothing to be proud of. You're being taken advantage of.
