7 when the story happened, tells it 15 years later in 2020, so I’m supposed to believe this guy is 7 - 15 + 2025 - 2020 = -3 today. Something doesn’t check out about this story.

Facts don’t care about your feelings. You’ve presented zero evidence to the contrary, how are you this confident about your assertion? This is such a joke

And still there’s politicians out there saying things like “I will not ban fracking. I did not as vice president. In fact, I cast the tie-breaking vote to open up more fracking leases”. Playing with people’s lives just to make a buck. Really shows they’re not beholden to the people but to the owning class.

I’ve looked at these, and here’s a blog post carefully going over the points made, meticulously refuting them one by one.

Oh hey look a guy on the internet who doesn’t when someone contradicts his baseless claims with evidence. There’s something you don’t see every day.

I never really looked into this (relation between speed limits and accidents/safety), so I figured I’d verify your statement with a quick google search and it turns out you’ve got it all wrong. There is a deep well established link between speed limits and accident risk, see for example here:

Now you know! :)

The “drive off the cliff” party vs the “drive off the cliff, but ever so slightly slower and also we’ll wave some rainbow flags I guess” party. I know who I’m voting for!

That’s verifiably nonsense. I don’t know how you feel about holocaust deniers, but that’s what you are to me right now. And to many others. There’s no room in society for you, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m with you on this one. What could they do but hvae their snipers target the elderly, children, and disabled? And they were being humane too! They were aiming specifically for the knees so rhat they wouldn’t be killed, but just completely disabled for the rest of their lives. Honestly confused as to why Israeli leadership wasn’t nominated for a Nobel peace price for that one.

And what do you personally think of this strategy?

If you read closely there’s a second line in the picture saying “just kidding, that’s in the US today”. No claim is made about the USSR under Stalin.

And when the world police no longer polices we get emboldened actions like bombing Iran for no good reason.

I think you have a mistaken idea of what the policing has looked like in the past 78 years. The US bombed Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lybia, and they’ve armed plenty of regimes doing the bombing for them (Saddam Hussein, for example). America has been destabilizing the globe for decades, and there is a lot of blood on their hands (on the order of 12 million, if we count direct casualties).

You think there was a good reason for invading Iraq?

The only thing I can find in this direction is a letter from beverage companies (including coca cola) opposing these measures. But that’s based on a very shallow google search, so take it with a grain of salt. Where can I find info about what coca cola lobbied for or against?

Could you help me out with that? Between this, the Laken Riley act, the support of the bombing of Iran, the support of the genocide, and the opposition to Zohran, the dems look like they quite like Trump, so I guess I just don’t understand. Or should we buckle up for more performative whine ins like Corey Booker did?

So just ignore what’s going on right now? That’s like saying I should vote republican if I care about black rights because they abolished slavery.

Which party do I vote for to get him impeached? Democrats just overwhelmingly struck down a motion to impeach.

Reality proves big tent liberalism wrong at every turn, but still people advocate for it. Can’t beat stupid, I guess.

Calling that disgusting snake Chuck Schumer the Palestinian senator is pretty hilarious, given where he stands on the genocide.

But still, even when you go to more politically aware places (like lemmy), you’ll get mocked for suggesting America is rules by a uniparty when it comes to American inperialism. It’s unbelievably fucking stupid.

What makes it good to you?
