The poster didn't say the phrase "dumb liberal", they said that liberals are siding with fascists which they absolutely are with their unwavering support for our president funding a genocide and repeating the lies that campus protests are anti-Semitic.

So nobody should go to protests? You said that nobody should go to protests if they don't want to get hurt. I just named the demographic who is most able to survive physical harm.

Am I ... trolling, or am I contributing to the conversation in ways that you personally disagree with. Hmmm.

Where is the logic from:

rich people may be broke if they spend a lot

to:

capping wealth may have unintended consequences and will hurt more people than it helps

You do realize that the vast majority of people are not wealthy and that the top one percent own a ridiculously disproportionate amount of the wealth? Wealth caps would only "harm" the top whatever percentage of earners. And if they're at such a thin margin that the wealth tax would hurt them, like boo fucking hoo lmao, they can sell their Bugatti and buy a new Honda Civic fresh off the lot.

So, only young, fit, able bodied people should protest? 🙄

People should only protest if they're willing to be injured? What the fuck?

Oh the fucking centrists have shown up 🥱

Just set up an app blocker on your phone. There are some that are pretty intense, they work great.

How is Lemmy better than reddit for doomscrolling?

I read that Chinese survivors of the Titanic were turned away from the US because of the Chinese exclusion act.

If immigration is difficult, then most immigrants in the country working will be illegal. That makes them easier to exploit because they will fear deportation.

Idk about politics but I know stuff about fire. Catostrophic wildfires can be prevented by making sure there isn't lots of dead, dry wood... not lots of dead, dry grass. Prescribed fire is the big way to do this, also mowing and landscaping properly around buildings. And most wildfires do have a human-based ignition point as well.

there are definitely cringey liberal boomer memes, they're all on Facebook.

So you feel alone because you want to make cringey boomer memes and send threatening emails to Churches? I'm confused.

There are militant left movements, but there are just fewer people who align themselves with those movements because Communism and Socialism were basically illegal to talk about for decades, and the conservative fascism is basically just our mainstream government ideology (D or R).

Maybe Netanyahu should have thought about that before he funded Hamas.

Interesting, but wouldn't the lower tax rates that they earn end up counteracting the gains they made?

idk I use my phone to play chess, wingspan, Root, all kinds of games. There are a lot of really cool text adventures on mobile, plus Pokemon Go is mobile only. You can even play Minecraft on your phone ...

On Instagram I usually just see pictures about my friends lives, news, local events. The most well informed people I know are all active on social media. If all your kids are doing is playing console video games, they'll be disconnected. The most cutting edge news is on social media, and has been for years now. My phone is just a more comfortable way to do things. I could play chess and read the news on my laptop, but I don't want to.

This just reads like moral panic over tech you don't like ... you know, people used to fear-monger about books being too addictive and bad for you.

It's a game where you walk around and catch pokemon... why where there suddenly cease to be demand for that the premise is great. Not my thing but I get why people are into it.

I can't think of a single thing AI does that is worth the amount of energy consumption.

Not sure how old you are, but I do remember that Obama was genuinely liked during his presidency.

Just your opinion. I thought it was a great summary and relevant message with the recent protests, plus the very public message that he's not voting for Biden over this. If anything I'd call it a bit cheesy, but definitely not edgy. But Macklemore is a little cheesy so it works.
