Yep, this is a class war, and the rich are winning.

[–] homoludens@feddit.org 8 points 3 months ago

In a war there are (at least) two sides that are fighting. This is more like a massacre.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They're winning because the South are and have always been the ultimate class traitors.

Hitler wrote about Jim Crow with praise in Mein Kampf, the Nuremberg Laws just have his name written in at the top.

The main reason they voted for him? https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/politics/executive-actions-trump-school-choice/index.html

They got one of their greatest wishes back, it's why they're celebrating, they finally broke desegregation.

They can only see a class war as a race war, it's their nature, and the only thing they have cared about since the founding.

This is the cyberpunk timeline coming together. We don't get the cool tech or outfits until 2077

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago

You can wear the outfits now! They just won't be cool for another half-century.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Isn’t the story playing in 2077? In the storyline, the tech looks pretty advanced, so I guess early stage stuff should come soon.

Murica rolled over with a whimper

And a "take me daddy"

Our mistake is foolishly assuming our opponents had shame.

Denigrating an entire people is a fascist move.

Rdit: lol, already at least two people are cowardly down voting this. Definitely not fascist!

I'm with you, my friend... I'm with you. I'm sorry, for you and for me. But this is our lot in life, regardless of who and where we are.

It will get better... Some day.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works -5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Ah yes, this again.

Komrads, this is a waste of time. I do not see you, the Russian people, as the enemy, so why do you see me, an American, as one?

We must band together, and we must fight them. All governments must answer to us, the people.

If you're European, then disregard this. You might just be incredibly stupid or gullible. Hey, I actually have some acquaintances with red hats I know you might love! Let me introduce you!

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

I'm an American who lived in the south, I"m just not white.

The South are my enemy, and probably always will be, a culture wholly founded and centered on racism should be the enemy of the world.

Hitler wrote about how they were the model to follow in Mein Kampf, and the Nuremberg laws are just Jim Crow with his name at the top.

no group of votes decides anything in the United States because voting is a fantasy perpetuated by the tech and religious oligarchs that really run this country in order to continue the football politics charade

blaming your fellow sick because of no healthcare, polluted due to corporate plus military pollution, under educated because of an extremely underfunded education system, rights stomped in the mud citizens is only doing our jailers work for them

if we all rise we can all rise

quit being the crabs that pull the crabs almost free from the bucket back in

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

How exactly is voting a fantasy? All elections are rigged?

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

In the sense that it's a two party system, yes. The ruling class only gives us the illusion of choice.

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

The choices are rigged. You can't vote for change if change isn't on the ballot... The best sounding politician in living memory was voted in. and we got...(Checks notes) increased drone bombing and sold out to the insurance companies.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Regarding insurance companies, you're blaming Obama which is absolutely bullshit. Republicans are the reason for all those shortcomings

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

They are also to blame, but you see how thoroughly you are convinced that it is "the other guy"? That is the beauty of a rigged two party system. Your republican neighbor is all "Damn Obamacare" when the bill was a Republican design "pushed through congress" by a Democrat. Like a ballet.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I am convinced by the many sources of information I consumed. I watched this happen in real time. Democrats being shitty does not make them equivalent to Republicans. Republicans benefit from that lie.

[–] Nanook@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Honestly, your rhetoric: total crab energy

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I just posted a video from a cultural psychologist that talks about this. It’s exactly what you think it is, the hyper-individualism that capitalism cultivates that causes this mentality.

everyone let it happen. no one stopped it.

[–] verdantbanana@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

see you are on the jailers side in all this

plenty of canaries like myself putting good roots based efforts in and always has and will be

our efforts are not battled against by citizens but our overlords

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Youre bringing a notepad to a gun fight. You gotta sink to their level!

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If we sink to their level, who are we? We then have given our last inch... And nothing remains.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Take all the punches you'd like. I choose to fight back

[–] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 3 months ago

baby, I'm an anarchist
