Good, force them to vote on it so we can see who supports genocide.

Nah fuck that. Trying to overthrow a democratically elected president is always wrong, and not taking him to task for it empowers him to try it again.

You mean like when he tried to overthrow the 2020 election by rallying his supporters to march on the capitol?

Here’s a good follow up article on Curtis Yarvin. He’s a “new right” blogger and dot com bro who was funded by Peter Thiel and cited by JD Vance. He says the quiet part out loud and believes that we need to return to dismantle democracy and return to a monarchy ruled by people like him.

They’re all corporate cash grabs now. Watch what you enjoy and don’t let anyone tell you you’re missing out on them.

Awesome. I can’t wait to hear you explain why Bernie syphoning away Dem votes and handing Trump a second term would have been great for our country.

Let that poor mouse go. He has stories to tell his friends.

Republicans are just butthurt that Hulk and Kid aren’t carrying it for them

Sadly, encouraging people to vote goes against the Republican platform, because a higher voter turnout would absolutely demolish them.

Like it or not, elections are a popularity contest, and having Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark showing support for Harris is a good thing.

Even if you don’t know who they are, they’re big names who will turn out voters.

And if you think having a platform disqualifies you from weighing in on politics, then tell that to Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan lol.

I’m hoping Ukraine wins because I’m against imperialism and I respect the sovereignty of other nations. Pretty simple if you ask me.

He’s pandering to his right wing sycophants and pushing the boundaries of free speech on his platform so that when he inevitably faces consequences, he can immediately play the victim and say “see, I told you this is what the left would do!”

Normally I’d say don’t give him the attention, but he’s a Nazi sympathizer, and those motherfuckers deserve condemnation.

Exploitation of labor is a huge problem in many industries, but the amount of desensitizing horror and PTSD that occurs in slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants is on a whole different level.

If you look too closely at any way humans use animals, it gets sad really fast.

Some people see no inherent value in animals aside from the utility they have for humans. It allows them to justify whatever we do to animals as long as it provides some perceived benefit to us.

I would suspect this train of thought leads some to conclude that dog fighting is ok since it provides entertainment to people, in the same way that farming animals is ok because it provides food that people enjoy eating.

Now you and I know that dogs, like most other animals, are sentient. They have a subjective experience that allows them to feel fear, loss, pain, happiness and love. This is why I (and I suspect you) believe dogs should not be forced to fight each other for our amusement.

As pointed out in the graphic, most people feel that at least some commodification of animals is morally justifiable. It’s up to you where you would draw the line.

The one saving grace for me this election cycle is watching the Republicans panic over some dumb shit the guy they nominated says. You let this raccoon inside, don’t be surprised about all the garbage everywhere.

They don’t give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it’s a complete waste to even contact them over “petty theft”, regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.

When I was in college, my apartment got broken into. The cop that came when I called was less than helpful. Some highlights:

• He immediately argued with me that the crowbar marks on the door frame must have been there before.
• I told him about the TV that was stolen and he bragged that he had two TVs that were larger than that.
• He tried to bust me for weed when he saw my hookah. I had to explain to him that it was in fact not a bong and was only used for tobacco.
• He mentioned that if it were him robbing me, he would have stolen the microwave instead.
• As he was leaving, he told me that they wouldn’t be able to catch whoever did it, so they weren’t going to look.

The Lemmy equivalent of a “subreddit” is called a “community”.
