I used to think like that when in my early-mid 20s I would revisit childhood cartoons of mine (80s and 90s stuff) and I would say to myself that this crap is unrealistic because no way the villains could have such dumb followers and be that dumb and continue to exist.
Now I realize that the only truely unrealistic scenario is that in those cartoons you have the good guys who are lauded as good guys for defeating the villains. In reality the villains would simply have some basic PR and propaganda to label the good guys as the real villains and people would swallow that shit up like nobody’s business.
Now there’s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw
Rush’s don’t do stuff like that. They got these lyrics about… how trees are talking to each other, and how different sides of your brain works, and outer space bullshit.
Yeah I think it’s a sacrifice they’re willing to make, unfortunately.
“he tells it like it is! and unlike the liars on the ‘left’, his lies are obvious and so we’re all in on it!”
Wanton stupidity abounds…
No one told me there’d be wontons!
What were you saying about stupidity?
Nobody told me the wolves would be bringing wontons! And here I am voting for the humans like a chump.
Not only US politics. Romania is about to vote for a right wing extremist as their president, Germany is going to vote for a right wing, extremist party in February, France gave right wing extremists 30% of parliament, Spain voted for a right winger too, Hungary has had Victor Orban for years, and so on. All the while progressive and left leaning people either don’t vote, strategically vote for a center right party, or vote for some unknown, unimportant, backwater party that has no chance of doing anything in parliament.
The problem is that centrists consistently align themselves with the far right in order to screw over the leftists.
And leftists can’t unite because they spend their time arguing about whose motives are more pure.
Leftists are busy screwing over other leftists because they’re not good enough.
MAGAs are dumb but ‘both sides same so I’m not going to vote’ leftists might as well be braindead.
Centrists like to call themselves “other leftists” while supporting genocide and cozying up to the Cheneys.
There it is.
What they call “purity testing” we call “Don’t support state-backed murder.”
Centrists wish they had morals.
Centrist is the funniest political term ever. Most self-proclaimed centrists are actually further right than most self-proclaimed right-wing people, far less supportive of democracy, AND are also the least informed about political matters than either right-wing people or left-wing people. All of this has been verified by multiple studies, too.
As Yeats famously wrote:
The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Seems it’s happening again.
They’ll just keep blaming it on the other sheep and the sheepdogs and the shepherds
Yeah, he will just manifest a new enemy to blame for his incompetence. Last time, it was the “deep state.” Remember, everything he says is accepted as fact. Like election fraud, where the only evidence is that he said it. Reality has never stood in the way of sheep logic.
Anybody else wish, that people remembered, how to use commas?
In German, the above is how a comma used, and this type of usage might might be common in other languages too.
That’s cool but from what I can tell he’s writing in English.
It’s possible the poster isn’t a native speaker.

Touché.
Oh boo hoo, the non-native speaker isn’t using your language with perfect grammar. This is something only someone who has never learned another language would complain about.
I know 3 languages well and a bit of 2 others, so you don’t know what you’re talking about.
This is how I know I’m with my people here on Lemmy.
Anyone know if u/commahorror made it here?
Yes, I, do
2024 is basically just “2016: The Sequel”
With a bit of added 2020 spice
Hitler also carried out everything he campaigned on. It’s the appeal of a populist strongman, they actually do what they say they’re gonna do.
The problematic part was all the extra stuff he didn’t mention. When he said he would deal with the Jewish problem few people understood how far he would go. He was also beholden to big business despite his apparently socialist posturing.
I feel like it should be something along the lines of told/outspoken/self-proclaimed [socialism] as apparent would imply that his acts had the look of socialism, which was not really the case
You’d think we would have learned from the past, but no. Humanity has a short memory.
Between that and all the “I told you so” people, I can’t fucking wait to go online for rich social experiences from very great Americans taking action about their situation /s
Edit: Yes, I have set up some Lemmy filters, but it’s gonna take time to refine. If anyone has a good list of filter keywords, it would be kind to share out to others.
All of them
I wish.
And I’d like to propose a more humane perspective, the “wolves” here will go great lenghts to keep their fanbase from understanding what’s going on.
The kerning on filled is distracting me. What font does that?
I don’t see anything weird about the kerning, unless you mean the “fi” ligature.
Is that the right word for it? Whatever you call the dot on the i disappearing.
It’s a ligature, it’s an intentional thing to make it easier to read funnily enough. More and more fonts are supporting them these days so you’re gonna see more of them.
There are some common ones in these words, but some fonts support even more: Official, finger, flight, affluent
Thanks, I hate it.
Noooo the fl 😭 It looks too much like an A!
Keming font
WAAHHH HE’S EATING THE WRONG SHEEP!!!
2025 will be sheep watching the wolf use sheep to build a fence to keep the other wolves (actually sheep the wolves have combined the inside sheep are wolves) out, 2026 will be the slaughter of the sheep.
2025 will be sheep watching the wolf use sheep to build a fence to keep the other wolves
The opposition to the wolf was campaigning on building that fence and continuing to slaughter foreign sheep. For some reason, this wasn’t very popular among sheep.
Naturally this shows how much sheep prefer getting eaten, and the opposition will campaign on eating sheep more competently in 2026 and 2028.
Make trumpgret great again
