  • Trump vows to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status: 'It's what they deserve!'

    Jump

  • It smacks of accelerationism. 'Fuck with those who fucked with us' just results in a whole lot of people getting fucked, only substitute targeted, arrested, renditioned, etc for 'fucked'.

    But I’d settle for taxing the living fuck out of conservative churches and other non-profits that violate not staying out of politics.

    Fuckin' same.

  • Donald Trump says America should “forget about” the separation of church and state

    Jump

  • I wasn't talking about asking others to risk their lives without risking your own though, I specifically said 'especially keen', as in eager to sacrifice others for their own enjoyment (or whatever.)

    As a way of calling out the hypocrisy of the people who claim to be all gung-ho to stamp out tyranny from behind the barrel of a gun I have no issue with it, but 'why aren't you sacrificing yourself to satisfy my vicarious moral outrage' is a bit fucking rich coming from someone who isn't also lining up to do the same thing. One might even call that a kind of hypocrisy too.

  • I'm new to lemmy. Any tips or advice?

  • Good to know. Yeah I'm pretty chill with MLs. I enjoy debating politics (and religion and philosophy for that matter), but I see no point in getting cranky in the pants or holding a grudge or whatever about it.

    I was dimly aware of Lemmygrad.ml and sorta decided to avoid it so I'll just keep doing that (also I get the impression lemmygrad is defederated on many mainstream instances.) Slpnk.net is the other one I was considering, but it seems kinda dead compared to lemmy.ml or hexbear.

    Alright, I think I'll just go ahead and make an account on lemmy.ml and see how it goes. I'm already subbed to many of the communities on it and slrpnk.net and a couple on hexbear (tho I don't seem to see posts on those very often). Thank you for the advice.

  • Fair enough, thanks for your advice. And yeah even if there was karma I wouldn't give a shit; I was on reddit for more than a decade on the same account and I couldn't even tell you what ballpark my karma was in when I left cause I cared so little. Mainly the inconvenience is in rejoining all the communities I care about, but it's not that big a deal.

  • Luigi Mangione attorneys seek dismissal of state murder case

    Jump

  • They’ve also pointed to passages of Mangione’s writings, which described Mangione’s deepening fixation on UnitedHealthcare and an increasing malice over the corporation’s purported greed.

    Purported greed? Does any grown-ass adult sincerely doubt that corporations are greedy? Are we so far gone that the media can't even say that without hedging? What are they going to do, sue? Good luck proving that they're not greedy since public companies have a legal obligation to make as much money as possible.

  • And you might likewise be shocked to learn that non-Americans don't have a lock on the understanding of how maps work, or that the idea of hurling yourself pointlessly at a professional army/police force is just as unappealing here as it is in any of those countries. It's easy to say 'Someone should do something' when you're not the one who is going to be at risk in the doing, isn't it? But I'm sure wherever you're from is perfect, and even if it's not there's no reason to worry because others will no doubt be lining up to sacrifice themselves to satisfy your vicarious moral outrage so that you don't have to get your own hands dirty.

  • You first. Unless there's some reason you're keen for others to risk their lives but not your own.

  • Two-Thirds of Consumers Say They Need Their Next Paycheck to Pay the Bills

  • Obviously I'm speaking in broad generalizations here, I know even billionaires 'work' and shit, but they're not 1/3 of the population. shrug

  • Thank you for taking the time to provide an in-depth answer.

    I have not seen much of that, but I believe you. And yeah, I left reddit because I got temp-banned for 'advocating violence' because I said Luigi didn't deserve to go to prison for what he did. It was bullshit and got lifted on appeal, but not before I also got perma-banned for some bullshit about evading a ban with multiple accounts (I've only ever had one account in the ~14 years I was on reddit, I never even made throwaways or anything.) It was also lifted on appeal, but by that point I was pretty fed up at how fashy and trigger-happy reddit admins (not even mods) are. I didn't realize that was also a problem on lemmy.world, that's disheartening.

    I am an ancom myself with what most liberals would consider some pretty spicy takes on politics so I feel like it's only a matter of time until I run afoul of the bullshit-police here too if it's that bad. Do you think it's worth making a new account on lemmy.ml (the only other instance I've even considered, but the description talks a lot about FOSS and not much about socialism/etc so I wasn't sure) and starting over? What's your opinion on other more socialist-focused instances like Hexbear (or others I may not be aware of)? Or is there some way to transfer my account? I'm still pretty new, like a couple months old, so it's not the end of the world if I have to start over, but it's kind of a pain so I'm not sure if it's worth it.

  • Out of curiosity, which sorting option do you prefer and why? I seem to use Hot a lot, but sometimes I switch to Active, honestly not sure what the difference is.

  • Out of curiosity, why? I joined on lemmy.world cause it seemed like the biggest/most populated instance, but it seems to get a lot of hate and I'm not sure why.

  • The belly is a trap, but it's worth it. I have so many tiny little scars all over my hands because my cat gets a little carried away biting when I'm rubbing his belly, but I'ma keep doing it, cause bellah!

  • Two-Thirds of Consumers Say They Need Their Next Paycheck to Pay the Bills

  • I get that, but I'm talking about the headline being written weird. Everyone works because they need their paycheck to pay their bills, otherwise they wouldn't work.

  • driving on the left just makes way more sense.

    Only because it's what you're used to. Also I know there are countries (Sweden, or was it Norway?) that have switched which side they drive on, and as far as I know no one has switched from right to left.
