The guy I just responded to literally opened with "this is hilarious"....

Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about trains.

The dude I responded orginally called people protesting the genocide in Palestine tankies I pointed out that that was f****** weird that is a pro genocide comment I was responding to.

Do you not get that or is this just a bad faith defense?

If your a nazi then fuck you If you're ignorant look into the genocide

Im not but i get that there is no real argument to call people against genocide tankies so i get why youre tapping out.

Ok but there are no large camps of people at the DNC defending the soviet union... There are people protesting the Palestinian movement. So im pointing out that person oeginally asking of it was maga or tankies is using thr word tankies to belittle people protesting genocide and how gross that is.

Get me?

Yikes back to the third reich with you, genocide supporter.

Yeah i hope people who belittle genocide like you have to suffer it. The fact you think genocide is hilarious is why.

By tankies do you just mean people against the Palestinian protesters... Yikes

God i hope she follows through on even just some of these things 🥺🍀

I use temu too. I see literally the same products on Amazon and temu regularly. Temu is much cheaper but obviously shipping is longer. But yeah there is alot of overlap. I think it's too important to remember a lot of the stuff they get sold on Amazon is from small third party sellers who buy cheap goods from China from places like timu or Alibaba or wherever and then warehouse and resell them on Amazon for a huge markup.

I get where y'all are coming from temu does horrible s*** I guess the reason I use it is the same as the other guy said thr price hike in thr us and I don't think the merchants over here are ethical either. I'm pretty used to being surveilled digitally at this point 🤷

Fuck Adobe.

Why are you down voting this guy? He's right. Yikes

If you think Trump's the kind of person who does things for reasons I don't know what to tell you dude

On the one hand I've been thinking about leaving the country. I really don't think Canada is a safe move. Especially because it's the first thought for so many left wing Americans and it's so close. I also don't think it's inconceivable that a more dictitorual Trump ends up invading Canada...I've been thinking about trying to live in Vietnam myself... I figure if they can keep the USA out then international politics isn't something id have to worry about to much there. They're actual leftists and the money I have here should stretch even farther there to help the transition. I've also tried to talk a few friends into coming along with me if it goes bad we'll see how that works I'm going to try to get 15ish friends to agree hopefully at least a few will follow through.

The other side of my mind thinks that's extreme and doesn't want to leave. That side does think that getting some rice and beans one of those giant rechargeable batteries with solar panels is a good idea though.

Stranger, I don't care what you think. If you disagree, my life goes on. Just trying to share a useful way of thinking with you 🤷 I don't have an objective to care to play a semantic game with you. As the kids say "it's not that deep".

All right for starters, lazyness doesn't exist he was exactly right there. I mostly here this idea from other leftists. If you were a farmer and planted a bunch of seeds and some of those seeds never grew you wouldn't say they're lazy seeds You'd Stay their environment sucked and work on changing the soil or plant different seeds suited to that environment.

People are the same way as seeds. Our behavior changes based on environment. we are constantly ashamed for being lazy for not wanting to work that's not true, the environment just sucks ie the soil should be worked on, we should blame the farmers(ie the wealthy and powerful, those with real agency) not the seeds (working class people with less agency like you and me).

The only way these people whether it be the wealthy or politicians maintain power over so many of us is by somehow tricking us into prioritizing their wants and needs over our own. No evil empire exists in a star of wide spread selfish anarchy. For something like that to exist you need tons of people in that Empire who will prioritize it over themselves. The over whelmingly vast majority of not all people who are under the boot of capitalism and imperialism would be better off without it and it is in their own self-interest to pursue getting it the fuck off of them. That's a selfishness I can get behind.

The best motivated to get people active politically is to promote their own selfish interest. Shaming people into voting for someone they don't want to doesn't work. For example Hillary Clinton in 2016. You have to get your base excited for things that are in their own selfish interest.

I think there might also be a point of miscommunication. I'm not saying caring about the interests of others is bad in fact I think we are our best when we look after others but that doesn't mean we shouldn't pursue our own selfish interest as well. For example I'm not affected directly by the genocide and cause of but I yell people about it almost every day not sure if I'm helping but I'm trying. At the same time it is very much in my personal self-interest to change how housing is done in the US. I will pursue that very selfishly.

Does that help?

Yes I'm terrified! Honestly I'm thinking about moving to Vietnam. One it's socialist and check with my username I'm into that lol. Also like America is the world hegemon if it starts going after everybody or World War 3 breaks out I can't think of a safer place to be the Vietnam.

This may seem dramatic and hopefully it is but I don't think it is. Democrats won't use this power it or actually curtail it and as soon as another republican wins office this country will go full mask off fascist so fast. Honestly the mask might be off now. This frogs been boiled so long she's not sure if she's dead yet.

It seems you don't understand 🤷

Edited: nvm got more context

Welp he's just gonna wait till let trump be the first to use it. We are still cooked. 🤡🔫
