This is one of the only benefits of Trump winning in 2024
And unintentional incentives to get off oil
I get it now
I get the “own the libs” thing
Damn, beat me to it. Needs a shot if the bug, though. Those bugs are a great metaphor for our current ruling class.
Verhoeven: make these protagonists as fascist as possible. Even make them from Argentina. Make it as obvious as possible
Average viewer: They just really wanna kill bugs, man. Is that so bad?
What does being from Argentina have to do with being a fascist?
A lot of Italians and Germans went there after WW2 (to hide from their war crimes). You’ll see a lot of Italian and German last names down there.
That’s a stereotype, and complete misinformation.
Most germans in Argentina were Volga germans, regular Germans, Jewish Germans and antinazi Germans who arrived in different waves before WW2. The nazis who fled to Argentina are estimated to be 5,000 vs 1.6 million who moved there between 1919 and 1932. Argentina was chosen so a tiny number could hide among a large preexisting population of the same ethnicity, they are not the origin of that large number.
It’s the same story with Italians: 2 million arrived between 1880 and 1920, before WW2. When fascism arose in Italy, immigration slowed down to a trickle. After the war only 380,000 arrived, a smaller number than the original wave and their descendants.
indeed. very dangerous for the old pedo grifter gang
are the tiny Mamdanis in the room with us now Mike?
Would you rather fight one Mamdani-sized Mamdani, or one hundred Mike Johnson-sized Mamdanis?
I know it’s slop but I find it so fascinating how the AI “thinks” about my request. I took your pic and asked Gemini to replace Dr evil with zohran mamdani, mayor of NYC. The insane random details are kind of funny, like if you zoom in on the chair it has text on it talking about budgets, some gibberish some actual words.
Admitting this is ai will no doubt invoke the wrath of lemmy but it did give me a laugh.
I will build ONE MILLION state owned grocery stores!
Just take over Walmart like they did Tiktok, taxpayers are subsidizing them anyway.
Fuck Walmart and their underpaying so employees get government assistance which they then spend at Walmart. So fucked
But the shareholders?! The profits?! Who will benefit, other than the people?!
Is this that protection racket he was bragging about the other day?
Speaker Johnson has lost the plot entirely. His comments are showing consistently he has neither empathy nor perspective regarding the working class experience, and working class concerns.
Johnson has become a running trend of let them eat cake.
I just call him a traitor.
Lord Commander Johnson is a teensy tiny bit insecure methinks
Slop post lmao what a loser
Don’t breed
What, are you a Mike Johnson fanboy? Did your little feelings get hurt? :(
So happy mini moral people are flourishing
Save the Republic from what, Mike?
Fulfilling our moral obligations to one another as Americans? Our duty to the sick, to the elderly, to the poor, as commanded by your God? Honoring the sacrifices of our soldiers by actually living up to the Constitution?
They’ve always been there, only now can they be seen.
One of the good side effects of the internet; the government has a much harder time controlling the narrative. Those socialists have always been there and fighting for higher minimum wage and unions since 1910 or so. Prior to internet, they were simply ignored for the most part. I’m not even a socialist, and would have never known about them if I wasn’t involved in local politics. I do agree with some of their platform, though (pro-union, etc.)
Registered Independents are now the majority of voters for a reason (40%), the majority of voters no longer support the major parties.
Government control of media remains a huge problem… don’t trust any one source, verify everything as much as possible.
They will quite literally lock up socialist political dissenters before they allow any sort of socialist foothold to take.
How quaint that you think they will just lock them up.
“Ya know they murdered X and tried to blame it on Islam” “You know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam”
No, actually they got rid of King after he started speaking about socialist/redistribution policies.
Good point
Pedophile protector says what?
