Yeah, this guy was a real MAGA hater and totally not 100% sucked in by their nonstop obsessive conspiracy bullshit rhetoric. 🙄

"During the online tirade, Mohn describes his father as a federal worker and rails against the Biden administration and the border crisis while declaring himself the new acting US president under martial law. The video was removed over its graphic violence, YouTube said. "

In the YouTube video, the man identifies himself as Mohn and apparently reads from a written statement and at one point holds up what appears to be a bloodied head inside a clear plastic bag. He says his father, who was a federal employee for over 20 years, was a traitor to his country.

“America is rotting from the inside out as far left, woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities,” he says in the video.

I would push this to The Downward Spiral.

Broken is my absolute favorite. But starting with The Perfect Drug he began to do nothing but suck at ever greater intensity.

I could hear this.

If you trust any corporate media concern to not succumb to enshittification, then you deserve to watch your stupid commercials. You paid for the privilege because you enabled the abuser.

I prefer to get what I pay for and I pay for nothing, media-wise. If I watch ads, it's because I'm watching something like the Super Bowl with my OTA DVR that's playing on network TV. It's free, so OK - commercials. If I'm watching anything else, it's on my Plex server and there are no commercials.

I do pay for entertainment. I pay for experiences, like going to the movies, going to live rock shows, going to performances or exhibitions - all IRL - but that's about it. I might consider paying for other entertainment options but there is one thing I won't ever do: I won't pay for media that I don't own and I won't watch commercials for media I paid for.

Edit: look at all the butthurt. Go ahead and keep paying through the nose then if you like it so much. I'm sure all the millionaires and billionaires who profit off your largesse will continue to treat you with the same kindness as they have in the past.

Guns should be more tightly regulated in this ridiculous country, but I like guns. However, I don't make anything my entire personality, including guns. It's a sign of a weak mind.

Tattooing ARs on your eyebrows is a pretty good sign that guns are your whole personality.

If I can't find something I want to pirate, I will sometimes break down and buy it, but always in physical media, which I immediately rip into my collection. I don't use physical media, it's too inconvenient, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay some megacorp so I can rent media and pretend I'm actually buying it.

I found a better quality image of this photo but I still don't have any idea what the hell is going on

even the one he won

The tiny bit of shit-talking he did about fraud before he won in 2016 was only done just like this shit-talking right here is being done - to lay the groundwork for a full-on denial of the elction if he loses. Not because he believes there's any fraud, not for any other goddamn reason other than to lay the groundwork to raise holy dumb dogshit when he loses.

He doesn't give a flying fuck about fraud if he wins and anyone who implies anything different is badly mistaken.

Because that's proven to be such a winning topic.

I think Lemmy needs to work on the basics first. I made a post on a .world community from a .dbzer0 account and it got several upvotes and comments. When I look at it from the account I posted it with, it has 0 upvotes and 0 comments.

"Jenna Driquier, 31, a hairdresser, added: 'We’re living in dictatorship right now. The high prices, trying to get to communism, it’s not what this country was founded on.'"

This woman gets told by her friends that she's the smart one.

I actually believe he's just plain dumb - he's never had to improve himself and wasn't too bright to begin with. But he has something that is hard to come by.

That culty gift of gab. He utterly captivates huge swaths of people with just his speaking cadence alone. Granted, he's not captivating them because there is any actual substance to his words. But people are dumb as dogshit. That he has money and peripherally gives lip service to supporting their political causes is really only secondary. He speaks to them and it's impossible to not notice it.

That shit is worth gold. Note that everyone is pretty much in agreement that if he dropped dead tomorrow the cause would suffer a potentially irreparable blow, because there isn't anyone else in the party that has what he has. Very, very few people do. Anybody think Don Jr. could pull that off? No fuckin' way.

So Trump is extremely valuable right now because he is able to get all these people to turn off what few critical thinking skills they possess while the party's powers-that-be quietly lay the real groundwork for dictatorship. Once that groundwork is fully cemented, it will not matter who the autocrat is in charge, he will be a figurehead.

Well, when democracy dies they're not needed at all. Not being necessary is a dangerous position to be in. People who aren't necessary are easily eliminated. And of course, there's no incentive to pay off people who aren't necessary.

I say if they have an ounce of self-reflection, they would know this is true and it would make them nervous. But you're right, they probably don't.

If it lets an insurrectionist like Trump on the ballot, the supreme court will be putting out a welcome mat to autocracy

And they will be among the first up against the wall if that day comes, you can bet on it. I wonder if they have the slightest shred of self-preservation. If they are more afraid of maga now and not what maga will become, then their self-preservation instinct is badly flawed. We'll see.

Truthfully in a technical aspect: somewhat. But USENET is also largely unmoderated. So for the purposes of meaningful discussion, there is little comparison.

Siri is dumb as a bag of rocks, but give them raises? They're lucky they haven't been fired.

Apple's being enshittified a thousand ways, but Siri has always been shit.

For anyone who wants to do this, use Kill Windows Update. It's simple. and it works. There's several million reasons why conventional wisdom demands that you NOT do it, but I don't give a fuck and if you don't either, then this program is for you.

It's Jesus, basically.

You have to understand that these women are whores. If they didn't want to be pregnant, they should have kept an aspirin between their knees. The ones that have legitimate medical issues are collateral damage. Unfortunate, but they too have to suffer because when you start to write exceptions to rules, well then, some whores might be able to lie their way out of it, and we can't have that.

Whoring and lying are sinful. In their eyes, most of these women are sinners of the worst kind: whores, liars and remorseless at that - even potential murderers!

Because they are Christians, just like their Abrahamic cousins the Muslims - these people are all in the business of punishing sinners. It couldn't be more obvious. If this looks like "evil" to you, then you're likely one of those kinds of sinners they haven't got to yet. Don't worry, they will.

I remain unimpressed.
