American cops are a walking power trip.

The other option is bombing kids.

It’s not paranoia. The internet is legitimately dying.

Highly doubt an AI would ever write “everyperson”

What an absolutely pathetic life that is holy shit

Lemmy seems to be the only place with actual people for the most part. I worry so heavily for the idiots of the world that can’t discern robots from people. They’re really going to fall for what a programmed machine has to say.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this became Ukraine’s primary industry after the war should they survive. Kind of worrying to think about. Last thing we need in the world is more weaponized drones.

Ukraine has the right to defend itself.

It took me a while to connect that his death was this incident. The media portrayed two different stories.

“John redcorn voice actor dead”

“Gay man killed in argument”

You’d never bring that up if we were talking about a straight person getting murdered.

There’s plenty of MAGA that would love the chance to murder people.

Lemmy is “our” media. Mainstream media is owned by the 1%. It is heavily censored.

Religion plays a big part.

I bet you a million dollars the murderer believes himself a good Christian.

The politics suck here, but there are far worse places. At least it’s not South Sudan.

People in America care more about money than anything else. There could be a brand that kills children and as long as it’s cheaper it will be bought. Cough nestle cough

There’s actually been a huge increase in lefties, and they demand fishing reels.

It’s a matter of rhetoric a lot of the times with the states. We don’t invade countries, we defend democracy. Our government doesn’t spy on us, they protect homeland security. Etc etc

This moment in history is akin to the introduction of airplanes and aircraft carriers. It’s a whole paradigm shift. The future of war is drones. God help us if WW3 breaks out.

Corporations are a group of people. Those people have the right to free speech, even when they’re organized into a corporation. A corporation owning another company isn’t slavery because the employees can quit if they’d like to. Slaves would be brutally beaten or shot dead if they tried to leave.

"War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

…

War like any other racket, pays high dividends to the very few. The cost of operations is always transferred to the people who do not profit."

General Smedley Butler - War is a Racket (1935)
