I very occasionally saw something like that, and it generally didn’t get upvoted at all and was criticized by both sides.

you can easily infer what they’re saying from what I’m replying.

Lol. I know your side, you are all too happy to equate criticizism of your candidate with an endorsement of the other side. If I was going to take your word for it, I wouldn’t have challenged the claim in the first place.

When I searched the modlog for “jailgenociders,” guess what I found? “Trump belongs in jail.” “sadnonyank” says, “You’re no better than a maga idiot, you just don’t realize you’re a fascist too.”

So you were lying. Who could’ve predicted?

Idk why y’all lie all the time, it’s so easy to check and expose it. I guess you’re just used to people not checking so you get away with it.

No, they didn’t. If it’s that easy, provide a link.

Who on Lemmy was saying, “Trump will fix everything?” Where?

The trolley problem is not a logic problem JFC. Every one of you gets an F in philosophy 101.

It has, constantly. Anyone who disagrees with you folks is labelled a Russian bot who wants Trump to win. Even if they fall in line they were labelled that way, just for saying things like, “I’ll vote for Biden but his age is a legitimate concern.”

No one said this.

Putting aside everything else, approximately when do you believe that happened?

As much as we might criticize the whole, “End of History” idea, I feel like the 90’s was the last time Americans had anything like that kind of optimism. There was a feeling that we were entering a new age of international cooperation, and although I was only a child that was something I really believed in. But we soon found new conflicts to be embroiled in a the dream has died and was proven to be foolish and naive, and now everyone across the political spectrum is highly cynical.

I’m sure that there are many cynical people in China too, but I can hardly remember the last time I saw someone who wasn’t cynical when it comes to politics. Whether or not it’s naive, it hits me on an emotional level.

China hasn’t had a war in over 40 years.

Tbh, I was shocked. Much as I’m sympathetic towards China, but I still usually look at it through a lens of realpolitik, like, “Of course they’re vying for dominance like everyone else, but at least they’re doing it through economic development instead of wars, and it’s better if there are two major powers instead of one.” Maybe that cynical perspective is more realistic, and maybe XHS users aren’t a representative sample of all Chinese people, but still, the fact that so many of the replies were so hopeful and internationalist was genuinely moving to me.

Cruise ships sometimes have repositioning cruises where they go one way across an ocean to start operating in another region, and they can offer significant discounts. I’m sure there’s cheaper ways but it’s an option.

Random people online call for general strikes all the time but there’s no coordination or planning so nothing comes from them. However, there is one with real potential in the works being coordinated by an established union, United Auto Workers, with support from unions in several other industries. The date will be May 1, 2028, when many unions contracts with no-strike clauses have been coordinated to expire at once, and they are taking time to prepare, organize, and spread the word.
