This election showed us that the majority of americans are some combination of stupid, hateful and too apathetic to even vote to save their neighbor's lives. It doesn't matter which one, these people are dangerous.

What an awful thing to say.

Are people dumb enough to think our world is going to continue as it has, just keep making memes, move on? We done fucked up, there will be nothing to move on to.

Sorry for the f word insult.

You think we should just stop all industries then?

We live in a capitalist world that is exploiting the planet for profit and will continue to do so until it dies, which scientists are telling us we are coming up on.

Most of the industries of the world do not exist for the benefit of humans, they exist for the benefit of those who want to rule and hoard resources. We are brought up in a culture they control that tells us their products are important and to desire them.

Ultimately, I don't think it's ok to cause harm to living things and ecosystems to prop up this system. Like, how many people is it ok to kill so that we have cell phones? Rockets are just a particularly egregious example way of thinking, just like fashions shows are. So yes, I think if our species expects to exist in 100 years on a planet that still has forests and whales, it will require the end most industries we know today. Degrowth of some sort is the only way forward that doesn't end in disaster. Rocket use at the level of 2024 is simply not compatible with sustainability.

All industries destroying the planet are responsible including fast fashion, rockets are not allowed to harm people because "they're important". Important to what? Important to profits, important to american military and cultural hedgemony, important to innovation of more unnecessary products to sell to even further degrade the ecosystem?

No you go fanboy over fascist rocket boy.

Heaven and hell needing gates is worrying. I suspect their purpose is containment.

I'm not a 5th grade teacher, it's not my responsibility to explain these concepts. A person making comments about election operations should have a clue about those operations.

I didn't realize the unfortunate collection of atoms referred to as "leon" had a mother. I assumed it coalesced out of the warm santorum between Peter Thiel and JD Vance.

What exactly do you think will happen if Harris is defeated? What evidence do you have for these beliefs?

How can you support such moral bankruptcy? How is this any different from Nazi rhetoric in 1938? What do you think when you see the victims- the desperate, crying, amputated, starving, orphaned children?

You speak as if Trump will save the suffering children, why would you think that? And if Kamala doesn't win, we get Trump, not peaceful utopia.

Politics is a horrible game that must be played. Our election has not here presented us with a choice between genocide and peace. We are presented with a choice between one genocide (she hopefully will work to end) vs many simultaneous genocides including against people like myself.

Kamala Harris coming out as against the genocide right now would guarantee her loss and Trump's victory. How does that help anyone?

Trump will not end the genocide of the Palestinian people, he will make it worse and go on to start new genocides. Voting for Kamala Harris doesn't mean you support her every action past and present and all her beliefs, it's merely a strategic choice we as citizens of a democratic republic can make to do what little we can to guide our government in the right direction.

Trump has said he will be very harsh and imprison protesters, if you want to end the genocide of the Palestinian people, how effective will you be from a prison cell?

I see a comprehension of U.S. political party operations was not installed in your head.

Pointless reply, not all suffering has the same cause of course, but most of the unnecessary suffering (i.e. that suffering of all sentient beings on top that which occurs due to the nature of life itself) is caused by human activity, specifically where selfish individuals have felt entitled to cause suffering in others, destroy ecosystems, extinct species, and oppress peoples in pursuit of their goals.

The world is not ours to consume.

I'm ashamed I fell for her scam in 2016, was in CA though so wasn't worried my vote would directly help the orange waste of baryonic matter.

yep

Like binaural beats for the eyes?

AI is the greatest accelerant of our species demise.

If I was given the choice by a genie, on the one side you have your laptop, Lemmy, car, etc, but millions of people an animals suffer, or on the other hand, our tech evolves more slowly and sustainably, I'd choose the latter every time.

I'll take being 30 years behind and still have insert any species we've driven extinct>. An entitlement to the lives and well being of others for the sake of "progress" is pretty sick.

There is no solution that involves billions of people buying things.

Guarantee that guy is a power bottom that simply cannot accept himself.

Ya, it's also massive ecological damage so we can all go "ooooh ahhh!"
