Sorry, a mixup.
- Comment on Fox News: Dems do not stand for 13-year-old cancer survivor: Truly sick people 1 week ago:
Seems kindof off topic. I put the wrong title with the article and you’re questioning my education level?
Since we are asking questions here let me ask you this: what do you think about a group that say it’s “vile” to not clap for a kid with brain cancer and then turn around and deport a kid (who is a citizen) with cancer?
- Comment on Fox News: Dems do not stand for 13-year-old cancer survivor: Truly sick people 1 week ago:
Sorry, the title about republicans being outraged that democrats wouldn’t give a standing ovation to a kid with brain cancer used as a prop at the state of the union address was incorrectly paired with the article about the republicans that deported a 10 year old US citizen with brain cancer.
What’s interesting is that when you point the hypocrisy, it doesn’t phase them. That’s because for them it’s a power move, as if to say “we get to do this but you don’t.” Except in this case what they did was ten thousand times worse than not clapping for someone.
- Comment on Fox News: Dems do not stand for 13-year-old cancer survivor: Truly sick people 1 week ago:
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I put the wrong title for the article that was posted. The story of the 10 year old U.S. citizen with brain cancer being deported is not on fox news, they certainly won’t talk about it there.

It’s uncanny how much this sounds like a universal_monk talking point. And it’s one that I wholeheartedly agree with. The democrats are quite useless and seem extremely unlikely to get their shit together to come up with any meaningful pro working class platform.
And Lemmy as a whole, too- unless I am very mistaken, it seems like mainstream lemmy is firmly in the liberal big-bank capitalist camp. Actual leftists (and here I am excluding tankies, just because of my personal ideological bias, I don’t consider them serious or capable of producing sustainable answers) are still a smallish group.
Here’s hoping that Americans turning away from fascism will see that the democrats are not a viable alternative, and that a third party, or a new way will gain enough momentum and strength to roll over these worthless bastards, conservative and liberal, to build an America that’s good for everyone.

It’s interesting how people post these “articles” on “news sites” that are covered with advertising like “try this one weird trick” or “put a piece of duct tape in your underwear while travelling, here’s why” and try to act like its legit when its clearly not legit.
It’s like those Nigerian prince email scams with deliberate misspellings and bad grammar. Hard to believe anyone with better than a 4th grade education falls for that stuff.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
there are many many people that post articles who don’t discuss them at all.
Yea, that’s why I wasn’t talking about you specifically.
This is a conservative news community, for conservative news articles. Please read the sidebar
Exactly. The card says moops.
But I did read the sidebar and the first thing it says is that this is a place for discussion. So if a whole buncha ppl coming here and dropping off “news articles” with no discussion whatsoever, what else am I supposed to think but that these are propaganda bombs meant to disrupt reality and push a false alt-right nazi narrative? Cuz that’s what it looks like.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I wasn’t talking about you specifically, but you’re absolutely right, you don’t have to justify anything.
At the same time, there is no lemmy rule that people can’t ask you why did you post this article? Do you agree/disagree? Is this your opinion and if so how do you come to that conclusion?
And if you can’t or won’t answer, if you don’t discuss topics you bring up in a discussion area, then people are going to conclude you’re not actually here to “express your opinion”, but for some other reason.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t about having a different opinion though, if that were the case then the people who hold these “opinions” could at least occasionally back them up with a reason, or some ideological framework from which these opinions are produced. But there never seems to be any actual reasoning behind these various opinions. The card says moops

Ontario is suspending its 25 per cent surcharge on exports of U.S.-bound electricity after a top official in the Trump administration offered an “olive branch” in the form of a meeting to discuss the escalating trade war…
According cbc, Trump folded first. I believe the Canadians on this one.

Many of our parents were stressed out, over-worked, under-paid and exhausted. Many of us are stressed out, over-worked, under-paid and exhausted. What’s the common factor? Capitalism.

Not to worry guys, a few tariffs will fix this.
- Comment on Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey? 2 weeks ago:
Having had a 50lb bucket of honey I can tell you that honey use goes up dramatically because you say to yourself “well I have so much I can just use it for this, and that, and a little more on my toast…” and then friends come around asking for a little here and a little there. Unless you can be super disciplined in a way that I cannot, 50 pounds will not last more that a couple years.
- Comment on Trump pauses US military aid to Ukraine while pressuring Zelenskyy to move toward quick end to war 3 weeks ago:
Man, people were so shitty to you, and you have responded by making yourself cold. I understand it, but I don’t think its good for you, or for america.
Socialism is, at its heart, caring for other people and for the common good. We know that the democrats, or the liberal capitalists, are the more insidious and obstructive enemy. Celebrating their loss of power in the way you have been doesn’t seem to come from a place of caring for the common good.
Embracing the victory of their foes, the more overt and destructive enemies of the common good, may seem like a good way to stick it to the assholes that treated you so poorly, but it really isn’t. I say this with gentleness and concern for you dude: check yourself, before you wreck yourself.
Edit: added for clarity, if this isn’t an alt of universal monk then nvm.

- Comment on Trump pauses US military aid to Ukraine while pressuring Zelenskyy to move toward quick end to war 3 weeks ago:
Seems it may have worked though:
Here is a quote to illustrate to other people how cold, how glib and how dismissive the attitude is for some over real people getting brutally killed. Donald, and this other Donald too apparently, don’t give a fuck about any of that. Getting paid shakedown money is all he seems to care about. Fucking despicable.
Americans always used to root for the underdog. It’s been such a deep part of our culture from the beginning, because we were once the underdog, taking on a huge empire that wanted to subjugate and plunder us.
Now Ukraine is the underdog. Palestine is the underdog.
The suits in Washington today don’t care about any of that. Right or wrong don’t matter any more, just profit by any means possible, including the wholesale slaughter of entire peoples. Fucking despicable is not strong enough to describe it. Makes me just about weep.

Coming out openly on the bad guy’s side is not working for peace. Pushing for the destruction and end of Ukranian sovereignty is not working for peace.

- Comment on Farm policy disaster 3 weeks ago:
You might think that was so long ago it’s not relevant to the current situation.
farmaid.org/…/farm-aid-nearly-40-years-of-action-…
Farm Aid: 40 Years of Action for Family Farmers and the Good Food Movement In the 1980s, family farmers faced a crisis the likes of which hadn’t been seen since the Great Depression. Plummeting farm product prices and land values, rising interest rates, troubled credit markets and unfair lending practices pushed tens of thousands of farms out of business, forcing millions of people off their land.
It was in this context that Willie Nelson, joined by John Mellencamp and Neil Young, organized a groundbreaking concert in 1985 to raise awareness and funds to help America’s family farmers, sparking a family farm movement that continues to this day.
That continues to this day. That’s because the American agricultural industry never completely recovered from Reagan’s supply-side economics. Did the “free market” eventually adjust to create the most efficient and best system for a.ericsn agriculture?
No. The most expensive farm subsidies ever and Willie Nelson’s charity concerts combined did not get things back to pre Reagan levels.
History rhymes: farmers voted for Reagan, farmers voted for Trump. It’s happening again, but this time it will be worse.

- Comment on Farm policy disaster 3 weeks ago:
Missouri cattle producer Skylar Holden posted a series of videos on TikTok, saying he had signed a contract with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service for $240,000 for improved water lines, fences and a well.
But USDA officials called him recently to tell him his contract with NRCS’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program, or EQIP, was frozen, he said. It’s not clear when the funds will be released, Holden said in his video
“I’ve already done a bunch of the work, already paid for the material and the labor, so I’m out all that cost,” Holden said in one video, adding, “We are possibly going to lose our farm if NRCS doesn’t hold up their contract with us.”

- Comment on Marco Rubio reveals that what Zelensky did before cameras started rolling is reason why he should apologize 3 weeks ago:
I see. Thanx for that context.
For more context, before any of that happened, Trump got impeached for illegally withholding congress approved aid to Ukraine to pressure them into digging up damaging info on Biden.
Of course weak-willed republican sycophants voted to clear him of any wrongdoing but orange bastard is still mad that zelensky wouldn’t lie for him.
Fascist bootlickers are counting on us forgetting that fact but I havent forgotten.

Well, but he’s also a liar, which is 100% in line with nazi behavior, so your arguement doesn’t really hold up.
Regardless, participation in nazi activity is enough to sell it for me.
- Comment on NATO chief issues sharp warning to Zelensky after car crash Trump talks 3 weeks ago:
From wikipedia
Rutte has repeatedly urged sending more weapons to Ukraine.[96][97] He said that any future peace talks with Russia should be led by Ukraine from a position of strength.[98]
So here’s some fact check: this whole thing started with an unseruous demand by orange leader for 500bn payment for what a previous president already did - and Ukraine never received anywhere near 500bn in aid from the previous president. Is this the art of the deal? Idiot.
I saw the president of the US openly and firmly coming out on the side of russia and north korea. In this conflict, russia and north korea are the bad guys. Somehow it’s on Zelensky to “repair the relationship” with the US? Must be backwards day.

I guess this is interesting because nearly a third of Americans lack access to primary care services, including routine checkups, while 40 percent of U.S. adults say they’re delaying care or going without because of the financial costs.

I read through the article, am I missing something? Is my reading comprehension recently gone down hill? It doesn’t seem to reveal what horrible thing Zelensky did before the cameras started rolling, other than fail to be sufficiently thankful for a shit deal with no security guarantee.
