lol, yeah I figured
What country are you talking about when you say your home grown dictator?
You're assuming everyone here is American to the point of using an acronym like FDR. I know who you're talking about but still
edit: the person who you're responding to is Australian based on their instance and I'm Canadian
If it broke out in WW3 then I think most of the world's public support would be behind China. The US has always been a hostile bully but Americans generally kept it contained to poorer countries that didn't have as much of a voice. Now though...
The insistence on pushing thorns to be a thing again (which I'm generally pretty whatever about) while talking about a heavier topic just seems kind of insensitive to me personally
The lyrics are so good I'm leaning towards them being written by a real human and then just fed into AI
I kind of assume the same with the imagery too. It's slop but I gotta admit that it's quality slop
Maybe Trump was playing 1000D chess by making the US even more of a failed country and this was his plan to get Mexico to pay for the wall
I don't know. Lemmy's majority user is former reddit users and even at the size reddit is now, sarcasm would constantly go over peoples' heads
Is there any links to Israel specifically though? Being Jewish doesn't equate to being Israeli as much as Israel would like that to be the case
Not American nor am I lacking my own doctor but I generally choose to see a specific NP at my clinic over my doctor since she's able to do everything I'd need my doctor for as well as actually caring to look into my health issues. I went over a decade with crippling digestive issues that I complained about constantly to my doctor but it was always dismissed as anxiety related. It was only the NP who actually cared to get me checked for celiac disease
Not exactly that related of a tangent but just wanted to say bless nurse practitioners 🫡
I'm not sure we're talking about the same people here. I'd hesitantly lend more sympathy to an American soldier more broadly fighting in this war but not to those who directly commit war crimes whether that be shooting (and worse) children or knowingly dropping bombs on schools or hospitals.
Anyone who doesn't immediately know that's wrong has something severely wrong with them
edit: and also yeah, regarding your point about Canada doesn't really change anything. I'd feel exactly the same way regarding any Canadian soldier doing the same thing. While Canada is feeling quite nice right now compared to the USA, we've done and continue to do some absolutely vile shit, no question
Nearly all my furniture I got for free off the street on garbage day or from family. The computer parts however

The original building was unfortunately gutted by a fire in March 1922 leaving only the outer walls. Architect Louis Parant was commissioned for the reconstruction who decided to build an entirely new building which included a remodelling of the Mansard roof into a new Beaux-Arts inspired model. The new building opened in 1926
Central Chambers was built between 1890 and 1893 and designed by John James Browne of Montreal, an example of Queen Anne Revival commercial architecture. Formerly serving as an office for the Canadian Atlantic Railway, it now houses the National Capital Commission
It's not the fanciest ever but it's a building I walk by often and I always stop to look at the brickwork. The amount of detail that went into these town houses is just remarkable. Sorry for the low quality images, they're the only ones I could find. (Source)

It's the stupidest thing since they're fighting against UBI at the same time. Robots taking everyone's jobs should be a utopian future to look forward to, but instead they're creating a situation that's universally bad for everyone including themselves. When nobody is employed and nobody has any source income, who's going to give the oligarchs more money via consumerism?
I know a lot of billionaires want to bring back a tech-flavoured version of feudalism where they live ~~like~~ as actual kings but even medieval peasants were given some form of bread and circus to keep them from rising up.
Billionaires right now are on track to create a duel between millions to billions of poor and hungry people against the tiny number of them. Without bread and circuses, the people have nothing to live for except overthrowing their oppressors
