It's absolutely why I clicked.

He'll be able to work some sort of grift off of it for sure but I feel like this definitely gives some Republicans an "out."

Now they just have to take it.

Yeah a lot of people might not be aware just how heinous Japans actions were in The Second Sino-Japanese War (the Chinese War of Resistance) in the lead-up to Asias involvement in WWII.

The Rape of Ninjing and Unit 731 are just two of the atrocities we know of.

Implying that Japan is now "back for more" and with frens this time is indeed pretty dark.

I've shucked probably 100s of those WD essentials and they just had a little SATA -> USB adapter on it. It's been a few years but it doesn't seem like they'd make a whole new PCB just to include USB.

We were just talking about this (at work). I never considered my parents racist, but I definitely heard Brazil nuts called that, it's uncomfortable to think about how pervasive systemic racism is.

It's kind of a bummer. Aliens and Bilderbergers and Government Mind Control used to be fun little thought experiments to smoke a J and play what-if with your friends; but you can't even bring that stuff up anymore without someone thinking you're serious and bringing up adrenochrome or (((Globalists)))

This timeline sucks, I want to go back to when everyone knew the X-Files was a TV show and fascists kept their brainrot on AM radio.

I feel like like the QAnon stuff swept up huge swaths of otherwise unconnected conspiracy theorists. Flat earth, chemtrails, aliens, all the "classic" conspiracies just kind of got co-opted and folded into the big crazy tent of insane people.

What about the animated spinoff about the 3rd backup targeting officer on a non-capital Empire refueling ship?

Yeah a lot of us stopped caring a long time ago. The market has been saturated with Star Wars.

It's cute of you to step in to defend your alt account, but you can't be serious.

They're an accelerationist, for whatever reason, they want collapse. The quicker it happens the better, they admitted as much above.

You're supposing that Trump is the candidate to do that, I think most of lemmy would agree with you so I'll cede that point.

That point ceded, we can agree most of lemmy won't vote for Trump right? So what would be the point of talking about voting Trump here? It's far more effective for the accelerationist (who likely isn't conservative anyway) to be a "leftist" who's so disgusted with how corrupt and unfair the system is they simply just check out and encourage others to check out as well, "both sides are the same" of course.

So we're just making things up whole cloth about people now?

We're inferring things, it's quite a bit different comrade.

You need to go take a civics class and stop trying to suppress the leftwing vote. Do you expect anyone to sit down and explain to you how campaigning for issues works? Do you expect us to list every decent win "the left" has gotten the last 5-10 years?

What have you gotten accomplished? What have you even participated in?

Just because you sit in a basement unplugged from reality, doomscrolling, doesn't mean the rest of should sit here and take advice from you. You admit you just want fascism faster.

Bad-faith, accelerationist, useful idiot. If it weren't so cliche I'd call you Vlad.

  1. Not necessarily.

  2. Who says they aren't?

You're just an accelerationist. Fatalism, nihilism, apathy, hopeless, etc aren't anything new, most of us disagree with you. I wonder if your outlook would improve if you got therapy or if you had a little skin in the game and stood to lose something.
