I think by saying it, it causes it, and leads everyone to pay attention.

These people have no idea where on Trump/Suzie Wiles rank they are.

Dan would have been down the bottom somewhere.

You’re fired!

You vote for a reality TV personality, you get reality TV

Oh yeah you’re right 👍

The source I found appears to list the wrong figure.

Your linked source doesn’t appear to list that number (It lists 8 cm a minute).

Perhaps you (or a large language model, if you’re using one) has it mixed up with this:

“Snails have been measured at speeds of 0.048 kilometres per hour.”

From this source.

Also, 1 cm tall would be a very small snail… Approximately the size of your smallest fingernail.

“It sounds like the people around you don’t respect how serious a need this is for you.”

Americans will be locked out of travelling to many countries.

I think it already has.

What an aggravatingly stupid article. May as well have just written “I have no idea what’s going on in politics or society, and can’t we all just get along?!” 5,000 times - absolute dross. Pathetic.

Codeine is a respectable recreational drug a few swigs of that and some Valium and you’ll have an entertaining enough time (except for the constipation).

Much better than being haunted by level seven entities on a cough syrup bender.

Depends on where you think this is all going: Reaganomics or Genocide.

If it is Genocide you shouldn’t be discussing this, and should be forming resistance cells.

If you think it’s Reagonomics, visible protests can help form mutual aid networks and a collective action front that increases solidarity and save lives.

Two different approaches depending on where you think things are heading.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. They’re building habits, getting the numbers up. Practicing.

There needs to be a community tasked with advertising Lemmy on Reddit.

CEOs will be able to crowd source a replacement. Their financial position allows them the upper hand in a highly corrupt pay-to-play political system.

Society will thus go in the direction they choose, which will be to always have people like Trump around. People who are willing to use their reputation and efforts to steal from the poor and give to the wealthy.

Killing Trump is not just a good idea, but a necessary social control… and there still needs to be actions beyond that too.

The bill to make things more difficult.

Or it’s not, and that’s the problem. The organised rightwing forces of state repression can easily push around a left that’s been trained and groomed to function as entirely beholden to corporate sponsors and big money donors.

…to the point it’s now visible and blatant that the establishment left cannot stand and legitimately claim even the possibility they are the solution.

Because the solution is something more revolutionary that will cause bloodshed and more regular interruptions to people’s daily lives.

So of course, keep your head down, hope none of this effects you. Ignore that it already has. The dems will fix it later, ect…

It’s understandable to ignore the civil war even though it’s not rational to.

Terrorists (freedom fighters) are made as needed, they’re not born ready. Trump’s administration will be looking to stay under that threshold.

The problem with this, and so many other problems in America right now - is that they’ll only ever be fixed by Democrats swinging the other direction.

The majority of whom will only go as far as they believe their corporate sponsors will allow. Preventing real progress.

This is the mechanism and economic base structure of “democracy” in the west which prevents real progress and real change from happening to the structures and systems we have.

The result? An ever increasing risk of populist fascism, which may become increasingly systemic in its use of deadly force and violent repression (yes, things can go further unless the structure itself is forced in the other direction - in a revolutionary manner).

To clarify: Only leftwing revolution can fix and prevent this happening again. Hence why Biden and establishment “leftists” were unable to prevent the current era - because it requires a revolutionary movement much further left to do these adjustments to democracy, rights, and the state of western politics.

I drink milk, can confirm, am evil.

Piss drinker.

We all know that scene in Robo Cop 2 is going to happen eventually.
