I don’t disagree. I can get behind helping them in so many ways. At the sametime I want to make sure everybody can enjoy our cities if that makes sense.

Yea sure. Nothing wrong with that. Government also provides social assistance, mental health support and outreach programs. The city I live in has a downtown that is destroyed by the homeless. The people trying to run their business have lost their livelihoods because the homeless hang out in the streets smoking crack and begging people for money. Nobody wants to bring their family downtown because of the drug use and drug users stumbling around at 3pm. Being a leftist and wanting to help the homeless shouldn’t mean we ignore the other people in society or the impact that homelessness has on everyone. I’m tired of having to accept drug use next to high schools just because people treat the homeless like lost kittens on the left. They’re real people. They make their choices. They deserve help but that doesn’t also mean we treat them like they don’t have autonomy or abilities of their own to not use drugs in areas where kids or businesses are trying to operate.

They’re still committing crimes. Justice is for everyone including victims of crime. If a native American beats their wife or kids they should not have reduced sentencing because historically they were oppressed. That is wrong. Justice is not the place to create these considerations

Link didn’t open for me. But the idea of having a two tier criminal system is just not the right thing to fight for right now. We’re not there as a society. It’s only going to lend itself to having voters see liberals and the left as a fucking joke

But we have given so much money to police that I don’t understand this. They have so many vehicles and spy tech. How has this stuff risen on contrast to the budget they’ve been given year after year

Sure. Keep telling yourself whatever you need to justify all these losses every day. The left is cooked. There’s no coming back from this. It’s not the fault of the billionaires or the Trump’s or Nazis. It’s the fault of the left for giving it all up and being so unappealing that those assholes could grow and capture the people the left alienated

It doesn’t. We need results. Not morally hand wringing. We can do that after we get back the culture

Nobody drinks orange juice or American liquor here anymore. Not a big deal. His Ball room looks like shit

You’re going to learn quickly in the coming years that these facts aren’t going to prevent you from getting punched in the face and thrown into a cage. I don’t think this guy is a Nazi or listed the Indian war as some kind of back handed reference to that. But I do think there’s no amount of loss you can suffer that would ever make you realize how badly people like you have fucked everything up the past 10 years.

Where did he say killing civilians

Right, so stop letting them steam roll the left FFS. Stop being lazy. Go back to the offensive position and stop allowing nazis to spread their ideas. This generation of leftist are the most ineffective they’ve ever been. 7 million people willing to drive to a nearest city to stand in a street but they can’t muster half that energy to actually confront these Nazis either online or in person. It’s pathetic.

I bet most people have close family that can tell them about cat litter in classrooms and transgendered bathrooms but zero people in your family that can tell you why we need a social safety net or why Charlie Kirk was a racist. You people need to wake the fuck up and realize why that is

Yea I know. You have no idea. That’s exactly what I’m talking about.

What sucks bout the left is that clearly we all know how much this ad infuriates him. The left can’t be bothered to share stuff that bothers trump. Like they’ll window watch. Barely give an upvote. Definitely not spread it though. I looked on Reddit and this was at 2k upvotes. Like the lefts online engagement is weaker than their punches. If you can’t even muster the courage to gut punch donny online when it takes no effort, you sure as fuck ain’t ever going to punch any Nazis in real life. This is why nobody on the right is scared or concerned of the left. They can’t even seize on these layups. 2k people bothered to upvote a video on a platform of millions. There was 7 million in the streets the other week. Where’d they go?

Oh my God, fuck off CBS

Guys I need something that can check if someone is using autocorrect. Stoopid clankers.

You said it

Remember when unions and everyone were fighting against automation. What are you shocked at here?

The North American right and left both have become extreme Luddites over the past decade. What result did we expect? Lots of people said decades ago that we’d be left in the dust.

AI is the next field that we’re doing the same thing on. The general population keeps getting influenced to hobble itself on new innovations and then we’re shocked we’re getting surpassed as these innovations continue to develop in other countries?

I think it’s similar to how immigration is maintained as a key target on the right. It’s a right leaning issue. On the right the topic of immigration is made out to be a bigger issue than it is. Because it serves a purpose to pass new laws and actions that people normally wouldn’t support.

You need to think about it for even a minute. The right have a lot of invested interest groups online. The left do not. There is a lot of money being used to push messages and ideas across the Internet. Lemmy isn’t a tiny digital space. These groups that target Reddit are going to be here on lemmy. They don’t target moderate Lemmy they go for the dumb radicals. The ones with more passion than brains. That is .ml

So these issues are left positions in the same way immigration concerns are a right leaning issue. But they’re strategic left issues that when pushed serve the goals of the invested interest more than it helps the left. Places like .ml are being groomed to become the poison pill for the next election cycle. They’re drip feeding them right now. It’ll ratchet up over time.

Do you think groups on the right were behind things like walkaway and bernbros?

Astroturfing is when groups deceptively create content in digital spaces to manipulate and influence those spaces to believe a movement or initiative is derived from a grassroots or organic origin. The goal is to move the group whatever the vested interest wants them to be.

I bet you were going to argue Lemmy isn’t on anyone’s radar because it’s so small and we’re all just super grass roots and organic.

Every accusation is a projection
