The sentiment that everybody you don't like is a foreign agent is a symptom of a very rotten society.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 56 points 2 years ago

Many people claiming it may be a symptom of a rotten society, but many people actually believing it is a symptom of irreparable stupidity (yes libs, I know you're reading this)

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago (12 children)

It's really funny because nearly everyone hates 'the government', but when you suggest that maybe the system itself is also to blame, you're suddenly a 'foreign agitator'

I can't believe that via-getty was responsible for this, too! Where does his influence not reach?!

[–] edge@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wish I could make money doing this.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If I was getting paid I'd be posting more and doomscrolling less

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

Getting into the flow state where I'm not even reading the headlines, just pure posting. kel-bliss

Doesn't the average US citizen not vote or vote for a minor party candidate in most presidential elections?

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

Yes and they’re all tankies

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think a plurality don't vote, which isn't quite as dire but still pretty grim in terms of popular participation

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

During the 2022 midterms only 52.2% of the eligible population actually voted, meaning roughly 26% of the population in either bourgeoise political party determine the course of political economical development of the entire nation, which means roughly 65-70 million voting-age Americans out of 333 million total americans plus other non-citizen residents

Clocking in to post at the lemmy factory.

You can always tell who isn't really an American because they give it away by opposing genocide.

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Well it is foundational to the US. In a way, being anti-genocide really is anti-American

Is this image from the recent bizarre turn into promoting Russian esports?

The apotheosis of Russian esports is super delayed considering their CS and DOTA skills are legendary. The announcements were so goofy too, you've got to love it.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Plus haven’t most of the Russian players been vocal about not supporting the war? Lmao. They’re punishing people who support their cause just because ruzzia

[–] panned_cakes@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

IDK you're gonna have to relay the gaming journalism about "RuZZians joining army esports team because they don't want to fight for Donbas" to me, not aware

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly, there being some variety in who gets pandered to in esport titles would be nice. Fighting games need fewer pop-idol catgirls* and more squat-dancing bearmen. Zangief can only hold down the fort for so long, and no Beowulf doesn't count.

*you, the person reading this, can be a catgirl and that's just fine. Personal catgirl practices are very different from their depiction in media

[–] panned_cakes@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think the military promotion of esports is long overdue from the Russian higher-ups and it clocks in with their cyber culture being a bit delayed on some things (like their particular variety of Redditor-esque reactionary cringe pandering compared to Ukraine which has been called "2014 neckbeard posting vs 2022 combatfootage psychopath posting" and it tracks for me) and ahead on others such as piracy

[–] good_girl@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Whoever has left their pelmeni and borscht in the office fridge for the last 4 weeks please throw it out it's starting to smell

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Liberals will never accept that even if Russia, China, and Iran did not exist at all, people would still think this government is flopping hard right now.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

o7 to our boys in uniform. Couldn't do it without you all in the 101st Regular Posting brigade

i like how they gave them freeze-gamer chairs to sit in while doing their official military shit

[–] xkyfal18@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 2 years ago

Oh shit they found me, time to ask the CPC for a job instead!

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

this is a picture of the four stack I run into on Tarkov regularly.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

that's right, conrad

I so wish I could get paid to be terminally online.

Hey comrades I have a quick question are we supposed to dry clean our uniforms or is delicates ok?

[–] Zvyozdochka@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You can take it to the office's laundry department on floor 4 and they do it free of charge, though if your daily post count isn't high enough they ask for a small fee but I'm usually ok with paying it, it's like 50 rubles/4 yuan which is pretty cheap!

I’d be living in paradise with dry cleaning at this price

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

First of all how dare you doxx me
