Democrats stopped using "gay" as a pejorative like 25 years ago. We all agreed not to anymore.
The amount of homophobic rhetoric I've seen used to describe Trump and Putin is really contradicting this statement.
Democrats love homophobia if they can justify it as "we're saying homophobic things but only to homophobes therefore it's okay! It's tactical homophobia, not actual homophobia!"
(To be clear, fuck both Trump and Putin, they're monsters, but saying shit like "Trump just wants to suck daddy Putin's cock" is homophobic.)
Unless I absolutely have to for logistical reasons, I refuse to talk about me being a vegan to others.
It typically results in a debate in which I have no desire to participate. I've had the same conversations with people over and over again in my 9 years being vegan. I always either have to censor my opinions, or I end up upsetting someone when I say I think this thing they're doing is morally wrong.
People rarely engage the topic with genuine curiosity, they usually just want me to assuage their cognitive dissonance and tell them "oh the way you eat animals is totally acceptable!"
Désolé, je ne suis pas des États-Unis, j'espère que tu puisses trouver quelqu'un avec plus de familiarité des politiques locales américaines que moi! :)
I checked out the Twitter account. I think it's clearly a joke, but the guy is a big Trump supporter so I'd say he does ultimately believe the rhetoric behind the joke. Therefore, not satire.
Clearly you've either never had hope or have already given up.
I get it, we've all been burned by politicians promising things and never delivering. I think it's easier to deliver on campaign promises at a local level than in national politics, though. Even at the scale of NYC.
For an example of a mayor of a large city delivering on their promises, look at Anne Hidalgo in Paris (coincidentally, also a member of a socialist party).
It's not Nazi unless it's from the Rhine basin area, otherwise it's just sparkling genocide.
This is what you're arguing about. The intent in calling them Nazis isn't to insinuate they're members of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and no one would assume that's the intent.
"Nazi" is common parlance as a shorthand for genocidal fascists because the Nazis are by far the most well-known genocidal fascists.
The meaningless semantic argument you're putting forth is either a useless distraction, or you're simply purposefully arguing in bad faith to derail the conversation.
That's what package managers are for, though. Or add the GitHub repo to your RSS reader if you want the details.
Lemmy is a social media, like others have mentioned in this thread I don't mind this type of post nearly as much if the person posting adds their opinion/analysis/summary.
The amount of people worried about my nutrition as a vegan but who wouldn't bat an eye at someone eating McDonald's every day...
