I suspect that race issues helped lead to the discrediting of IQ tests which helped lead to college degrees as the sole determinant of worth which helped lead to everyone having to go to a four-year college which helped lead to massive debt crises, poverty, and social immobility (I am assuming you can fill in the holes in this argument).

Q: why are so many people struggling economically today?

Normal people: billionaires are hoarding money, crashing the economy, and have dismantled all social safety nets so millions are stuck doing shitty jobs they cannot decline.

Turborationalist: IQ tests are unjustly maligned as racist :'(

A French Lemmy instance hurt their feelings.

He is literally barred from running by the Constitution because he committed an insurrection. Unfortunately the House, Senate, and Supreme Court are all somewhere between 50 and 67% Christofascist traitors.

I don’t agree with the atrocity they are committing. Link me to my defense of Israel or (my preference) stop telling lies.

Just totally normal stuff when leftists team up with the furthest right theocratic authoritarians against their true enemy, classic liberals.

Sometimes facts hurt our feelings and that makes them bad and wrong!

I’ve seen you urging US voters to back third parties despite the mathematical realities of FPTP voting. Of course you prefer discussion on .ml.

I do kinda prefer that idea, or rather, I’ve considered something similar from the perspective of positive ratings. I’d like a way to prioritize content by heavily weighting upvotes from people who I’ve liked interacting with.

Wow, sounds like neither would be preferable to both meals, then. Too bad that isn’t an option.

Even if that is true about the particular genocide people are referring to in this comment chain, the raw chicken is also doing Blood Libel towards Haitians and promising to mass deport millions of people.

On reflection they probably mean Donald would ensure Ukraine is taken over, which is true. I suppose that means delaying WWIII until Russia’s next invasion.

They must have forgotten Donald tweeting (nuclear?) threats at Iran from the Oval Office. Or they don’t think that would be a World War situation.

I assume the arguments we are supposed to consider aren’t the outrageously bigoted ones. Are there other ones in favor of Donald? Hard mode: that are based in reality?

Thank you, that makes so much more sense.

How is repeating that “il y a 23 heures” supposed to be insulting? Are they trying to say the post should have been taken down by now?

There are plenty of comments on Hexbear and .ml from some of the very users in the screenshots that should have been taken down yet remain up to this day. They should go back and comment that on their own works of hatred.

I had the same feeling when I saw that, it’s good to have it available. One caveat is I think the instance admins can mess with the database to hide things, but my understanding is a typical mod cannot.

I would be shocked to discover they’re not already doing this.

Even if you don’t take their bait, someone else will. It makes a toxic forum if writing the wrong thing summons multiple bad faith ahistorical takes. It’s not worth preserving federation for the few who aren’t behaving like that, they can join other instances.

Tired: I can speak directly to god and will be taken to paradise.

Wired: the god we will create will run a simulation that is indistinguishable from what I am currently (therefore it is literally me) so my thoughts right now are being read directly.

A lot of the removed content appears on instances’ mod logs, is that not meeting what you want?

Repubs have nothing but DARVO to work with when mudslinging.
