Actually he was goading you into thinking that he was me. He’s been saying shit all over the fediverse using my username under the mistaken impression that enough of you will get mad at the username that the real me would get banned as well.
I reported him to his admin and he’s been banned from his instance. For the record, I didn’t vote for Trump and I do NOT think republicans will win in 2028. lol

I’ve already alerted that admin. 2 days ago that his account is not me and it just trying to get you all riled up:

Bruh, come on now. Look at the time stamps. He just created his name recently. I’ve already altered the admin, @realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club to him.

And he’s also posting Nazi BS, which I never have. I’ve messaged his instance admin to let them know what he’s doing

Actually he’s not me. He’s a troll that thanks he’s “trolling the trolliest of trolls!” I’ve written to his admin and the mods here about it.
So here’s his meta plan. He is sooo pissed that I am still on the fediverse, he has been jumping on different instances. The he starts and/or jumps in threads that are trying to get rid of me and says, “See? Look at how much he spams. He’s everwhere!”
There are over 25 instances with my name on them now. Most are not actually me. He wants me banned from the fediverse because I didn’t vote for harris. This is all the way from back before the election! lmao

And my day job until just a few months ago was special education teaching assistant in an elementary school in a disadvantaged neighborhood. I recently retired from working in the public sector for 20 years.
Feel free to check my post history from the .world instance from months ago, when I was still teaching there. I spoke of my career often.
Guess we are more alike than different, friend. Funny how that works, huh?

Reality is bleak for some. And every generation has had a portion of the population who thinks everything is bleak.
We are no more or less special than previous generations.

IMO you have the obligation to create the environment that allows what you have (an existence without worry for politics) for everyone.
So what are you doing that’s creating that type of environment for me and others?
- Comment on Anon tries to sleep 2 weeks ago:
You’re basically saying ‘my life is secure; fuck everybody else that hasn’t got what I have’.
Not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying that if an idiot like me, with very few work skills, made it, then you certainly can because you have more advantages than I have had.
I also had a child to raise, so even if you count in costs of living differences between then and now, it’s negated by the fact that I had a kid to care for.
Bruh, I live in a city of over 500,000 people. The majority of people I see are not “just struggling.” People are doing it. Are you saying all of them have had it easier than yourself?
- Comment on Anon tries to sleep 2 weeks ago:
Lifting our noses off the grindstone and looking at the horizon shows a future without hope of any of this changing. Too much stacked against us.
No, I don’t believe that. I 100 percent think you can overcome and kick ass in life and be way more successful than I have ever been.
Keep pushing. You got this!

You make a good argument, but I would counter it by saying, it’s NEVER been easy. I didn’t have it any easier than you did. I fucking lived off of beans are rice and powered milk for years. Literally. my meals for almost eight years straight was Beans and rice. Beans and potatoes. Every meal. Every day.
Sometimes people at work would have a potluck or something, sothen I’d be able to gorge on meat and stuff, but other than, I was eating poverty food.
I couldn’t afford a cell phone for the longest time. And I didn’t have a car, so I biked/walked to work every single day.
I’ve never made more that $15 and hour my entire life. Trust me, you STILL have it easier than I did.
Now, to your point, housing as gone up. But roommates. I guarantee you have more luxuries than I do. Even now. I bet you have gaming stuff, good internet, better phone, a better job than I ever had, and more importantly–youth.
There are still plenty of people out there making thru life fine and not just struggling.
I’m not downplaying your struggles, but I’m saying they are no worse than what I had to go thru. Even now, my main computer is a raspberry pi that I bought for $50. And my phone cost $110. And my phone plan is $25 a month.
I use my phone for texting and the GPS maps and apps for working out. No gaming because I don’t have the bandwidth or the power.
I bet right now everything you have is nicer and more expensive than what I have. True, I do have a paid off house, but it’s a crappy house.
My pension is less than $1,000 a month after taxes. My trips w the girlfriend are on her dime. Otherwise, I’d just hanging out here all day.

I’m a little envious that you have the resiliency and coping mechanisms outside of meds to deal with it all
I grew up in poverty, surrounded by poverty. Rural midwestern town. Population 2,000. Started working jobs 14.
Became a teen dad. Then ended up being a single teen dad when I got custody.
Couldn’t afford college, even with grants. Refused to take out loans.
I didn’t have time to doomscroll and wonder when the world was gonna end. I had shit to take care of. I didn’t even have the time and/or money to drink! I worked two jobs for a huge part of my life.
Now I’m retired at age 55. My house is paid off. I have no debt. Live in a beautiful mountain city of 500,000 people.
My point is that a lot of people would be well served by not worrying about the state of politics and the world at large. The doomscrolling is not good for you you.
I didn’t have time to do any of that shit. I worked hard, made it out, and now I just fuck around on Lemmy all day, write and publish my fiction, and take trips with my gf.
If I can do that, with my dull brain, then most people on Lemmy can.
No hate on meds, but meh, I wouldn’t have been able to afford them anyway.

Da fuq? Is everyone in this thread on meds? As someone who has only ever taken aspirin, these comments are wild to me.
You all list meds as casually as a pharmacist. Lol

- Comment on Hegseth’s confirmation would be a victory for anti-‘wokeism,’ libertine defiance 5 weeks ago:
The very idea of America being “great” again is that white men will be in charge and they can be drunk at work and enjoy the occasional sexual assault without consequences.
I don’t think that’s quite what they’re going for.
I disagree with you obviously, but I respect your right to that opinion.
I actually think it’s all about saying whatever it takes to stay in power. Same thing that dems do.
Both parties are the same: power hungry.
