I can't stand those 
smuglords who are addicted to prestriiiige TV whine about feeeeeeemales and 
waifus not being 
enough and raging that the latest popular game isn't 
and then giving a 
lecture on how you just don't get why their favourite anime tropes should be every piece of media but also 
because that's soooo mature
Posted to the dunk tank because we don't really have a rant space.
Okay I know calling A Current Affair news is a stretch but damn that boomer propaganda be slimy.
I hardly watch TV news anymore but they had a story about "Why are nurses and teachers missing out while these guys profit!?" And I fell for the click bait hoping that it was a story calling out wage theft or something similar, so I watched.
So what was the story actually about?
"OMG look at all the UNDERSERVED perks and high pay that construction workers get with no increase to production BECAUSE THEY HAVE A UNION. UNIONS ARE EEEEEVIL! All that money has to come from somewhere so THATS why all you teachers and nurses don't get decent pay! Small business would collapse if everyone was paid well! Waaaaah! It's EVIL UNIONS and THE COMMUNIST LABOR PARTY!" (That last part is extra infuriaing to me because in reality Labor is just as right-wing and anti-union as the American Dems)
Such blatant propaganda to direct workers anger against each other rather than the real issue, which is "Shouldn't everyone be getting a fair deal at work?"
Of course capitalism bootlickers would say "NO WE NEED PEOPLE TO EXPLOIT BECAUSE THATS HOW WE MAKE BIIIIG MONEY. Sorry sweaty, someone has to be under the boot and it's not going to be me! 
"
I will make no excuses for the terror.
Why is the US complaining? This is exactly what they asked for by bringing capitalism back to Russia
Steal a loaf of bread? Arrested
Steal the future of an entire planet? Oopsie poopsie zero punishment and we aren't even going to stop them.
A reminder that this is the only place we know of in the universe that supports life. The gravity of this crime cannot be overstated.
Why do all libs talk like this?
I swear dronies are AI-generated
Lmao libs were the real Putin puppet all along
Can't wait for all that finite, medically important helium to be wasted on sellng party balloons.
Capitalism is so rational
Accusing our trans users of not actually being trans is some mega transphobia
Also we've been a trans space for waaay longer then we've been federated for, sooooo
They're probably just jealous that all the best programmers are trans
They're alowly rolling back all the freedoms we gained in the last 100 years.
Sometimes I wonder if the threat of communism was the only thing keeping us safe
What argument? All I've done is politely explain who we are
Jesus Christ libs really think everything is an argument to sell them something. Lmao absolute consumer brain. What capitalism does to a motherfucker. 
It's so strange how all the rich news companies would report in a way that supports the interests of rich people. So weird!
I don't think that the CCP cares enough about Lemmy to make bots. Lmao.
We are a leftist community that has existed for about 3 years before we federated.
The stuff we believe and discuss are leftist talking points you would hear in any ML org.
Have you ever spoken to any actual, theory-reading leftists or have you only ever spoken to Neoliberal Democrat types? Because from a political science point of view, Dems are not leftists, they're capitalists.
I swear we are not scary people, we are just really, really frustrated with the capitalist status quo and the liberal bullshitting some people use to defend it.
Liberals care more about words than actual reality
