  It’s a troubling trend and we need to be cognizant if more start espousing it.

  My bad. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/09/dems-with-anti-trans-views-are-on-the-ballot-what-should-pro-trans-voters-do-with-them/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy users logging on to level set the Blue Wave enjoyers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s an article linked from an LGBT+ focused and friendly online publication. It’s not all relegated to just the reactionaries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy users logging on to level set the Blue Wave enjoyers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But but harm reduction! It works! Until you’re the one they let be in the sights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy users logging on to level set the Blue Wave enjoyers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dems won, that’s good. They have control of the senate which they haven’t had for a while.

  So here’s my damper, there was anti-trans legislation passed in blue states and there was an increasing rise of anti-trans rhetoric within the Democrat candidates. I do not want the establishment Dems and their think tanks to get the take away that they won by throwing trans people under the bus.

  I’m still going to be critical of Dems, they have a lot to prove and should be spending these next couple months in meetings on how they deal with the fact Trump will veto everything they do. They will have to find a way to circumvent that veto pen or persecute Trump to the fullest extent possible as well as his regime.

  I just wish that redditors would stop shitting in obviously leftist places then getting angry for breaking rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a wild life out there!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’d do it with any rioting or similar in DC. We’re in a position people are being killed by the regime and will continue to be, and I think we should have a few states backing up counter movements in some way. The 2021 insurrection was able to get away with it because the regime was still in control at that point to let it happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a wild life out there!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I see it as two folds, get the local governments to deny and defy Trump then take it to the capitol. It’d be harder to ignore if states are supporting this. But the images show riots and I don’t think it’d be easy to get the numbers in DC to really snarl things up without prior organization. Trump was only able to do it because the Democrats are pathetically weak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a wild life out there!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And your recommendations then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be better⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As well a lot of people interact through social media. Let’s be honest, most are out for attention, the amount of reddit style shit posting and responses I’ve seen show they’re well trained.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a wild life out there!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried with local people I know and can vet that aren’t MAGAts. No one was interested. We have an insane level of individualistic thinking in this country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a wild life out there!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks to the NRA and Ronald Reagan for essentially leading the charge. Save for some gun laws, most are racist intentions to keep marginalized communities weak and unarmed for easier subjugation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a wild life out there!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Trying to organize in the capitol is a nightmare. I think we’re better off pressuring governors and state officials more than trying to focus on the national level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a wild life out there!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is a shit post, but I wanna say just trying to reach DC through the maze of motorways, roads, and such puts a damper on directly protesting there easily without organized bus services. The logistics of trying to rebel without just sending armoured vehicles in crashing through everything is pretty gnarly.

  I think we’d be better off taking to the streets to governor residences and state reps. Going to the capitol in an organized fashion for intentions portrayed here is just a logistical nightmare.

  The downside, you’ve a stick of bad RAM.

  Upside, DDR4 is easier to find for DDR5 if you need that slot back in action.

  Downside, DDR4 has seen significant price hikes as well.

  Upside, you have your pick of brand and style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goteem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta love how the east has been sipping the propaganda koolaid for years and just decided America is the enemy even though China commits war crimes Love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A man in France was beaten after throwing rocks on firefighters⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s concerns in the USA of firefighters letting houses burn down where squatters reside after the people are out to let all their belongings be destroyed. But it’s not wide spread and honestly nowhere near as bad as cops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As of today, I have stopped using Reddit entirely.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I left when the great conservatisation started before the API issues. When they basically wanted more conservative moderators in “liberal” places for fair and balanced approach. When people were being banned left and right for speaking out against the regime or telling LGBT people to arm up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "Threat" to America.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, deprogramming takes a while too with the intense level of propaganda. Realizing that the “left” they say in the media and such refers to neo-liberalism and not actual leftist policies or politics. It’s all purposely obsfucated to keep us in that vacuum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Forced obsolescence. What better way to make money than cut the cost of making a cable that lasts half as long for twice as much that people need regularly? This is an example baked into the very government as it called for initial light bulbs to only last a certain amount of time so they are replaced more often to “stimulate” the market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "Threat" to America.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a person who has a hard on for punishment in the judicial system instead of rehabilitation. Not understanding it’s unequally applied along race and often those of possession of drug charges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "Threat" to America.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, this sounds a lot like right wing or red fascist talking points. Nevermind that it’s punishment this is used for and not rehabilitation. We punish drug offenders while we let white collar crime to run rampant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "Threat" to America.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the biggest propaganda buy in was that neo-liberal politics and policies along with the “free market” were the best for a sustainable world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ineffective Democratic leadership ain't going away unless we make them.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as you have people like Chuck in charge of the Democrats you’ll never see anything meaningful happen. That they fight tooth and nail against the DSA is also telling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ineffective Democratic leadership ain't going away unless we make them.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised you’re not being heckled by the libs right now for being a useless, idealist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goes right over some people's heads, I tell ya⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rogue Trader which it was based on was a parody yes had a lot of references to politicians or political doctrine at the time. It evolved over the editions as it gained popularity, especially outside the UK. The parody now is much darker in tone, less comedic or silly. The problem is they started to realize how cool the setting was as they developed it and took out even more of that satirical bite. There’s some satire still but it’s not as on the nose now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨he did that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently, like with McConnell, being a bag of the worst excrement keeps you alive a long time. Not looking good, just alive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you can’t be psychologically prepared for the horrors that all out war, especially in this era, would bring. Even if the Geneva Convention was followed as closely as possible, the body count would be staggering. I don’t think we have a modern equivalent display of military power versus one equally so. While there’s always some disparities, most conflict during our time has generally been either civil wars in countries that were exploited by colonialism, or the USA going to pound some non-white people into the ground for profit.

  I don’t think Ukraine and Russia really counts, Russia has the surplus but it’s literally just throwing bodies at the problem and their advanced tech has failed often to just the rampant theft in the system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I feel invisible’: over-50s reveal harsh realities of trying to get a job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When you’re in your 50s unless you suffering a neurological disorder, you’re still sharp and aware. Just the body is starting to wear down more so they need accommodations at times. Why hire them when they can just not hire anyone and force the rest of us to worker harder for longer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon listens to music⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the right mentality to have there. Do what you can where you can.

  I ran into an amazing character creator and animator recently and loved what I saw. I shared it with some friends and they pointed out the person is a complete CHUD. I now blacklist their stuff, as simple viewership of their media gives demand for it.
