What valuable intelligence gathering? The kind that screams about Iran having nukes within a few months for the past few decades?

The religion prescribes death for being too westernized?

New concept? I'm pretty sure round1 has been around for a while.

While true, also under the two party system the republicans are guaranteed to win at least sometimes. If democrats refuse to actually oppose fascism when they get into office then we're going to end up with fascism after maybe a few extra steps anyway. Fascism has to be dealt with at the root level or it will grow enough to take over eventually.

Payroll drop but sharp drop in layoffs? Are people just quitting or are companies laying people off without calling them layoffs?

I've heard of coomers and nooticers, but infoormers? That's a new one, but just as lame.

You're not informing anyone. You're pointing fingers and not even at the people who are actually carrying out these policies. What you're really doing is trying to do a barely-disguised smug "I told ya so". Those protest non-voters told democrats that they need to clean their act up or they would lose and would you look at that, they were right, so I guess they're the champions of "I told ya so" but I don't see them try to rub it in people's faces like you.

Of course it was. If the party wasn't promoting garbage candidates, they wouldn't need to rely on such a thing to try to take your vote for granted because people would happily vote for candidates they think will actually help them.

Whoever you vote for will be ~~bribed~~ lobbied until they don't represent you anymore, assuming they weren't already compromised before even entering office.

Alright, time to start primarying if you're not totally full of shit, elon.

This post is based on a false premise. These people aren't unemployable, they're being actively rejected so that the available labor pool remains sizeable and desperate. The automation hype is just that, hype. Just like the gig economy, it's merely a way to devalue labor and exploit it while selling the idea as innovation. Some evidence: if automation was really going to make so many people unemployable, then why is the news freaking out over the declining birth rate? Surely if automation is going to take over so much work, we wouldn't have to worry about who will take care of the elderly.

Misread as fundoshi.

 

Context: https://lemmy.world/comment/14613536 Screenshotted context just in case:

A user claims that the killing in Palestine stopped under Biden now. I point out that biden had full-throatedly supported the genocide for over a year. A mod deletes my post and says that biden didn't "state" (keyword here) full-throated support for genocide.

I counter by saying I consider sending billions in support of genocide counts as full-throated support for genocide. I also point out that I didn't say Biden stated his support for genocide and that he didn't need to outright state it because actions speak louder than words.

I receive a temp ban for that counter and the mod adds a response where they claim the weapons were "provided for defense from Iran, full stop." which sounds to me like actual misinformation because how the hell does bombing hospitals in Gaza defend Israel from Iran? I'm not bothered by their stupid opinion, but I am bothered that they are enforcing it through moderation.

I ran into a similar moderation problem on the Political Memes community also on .world, but I didn't bother making a post here for that because that's just a dumb meme community and I was better off just blocking it, but now this is concerning a world news community and it's awful to see something like this happening in a community that's supposed to keep people aware of the news.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong and it actually is misinformation to say it's full-throated support of genocide to send billions in weapons to a country using those weapons to commit genocide. Please let me know what you think!

 

Not entirely sure what this is, but it was revealed during the Jackbox collab on Calli's channel. Reveal on June 18th 8:00PM PDT apparently!
