The government in general is crumbling and it’s corrupt “leaders” will need to ramp up authoritarianism as the constituents begin to question it’s legitimacy.
They’ll make use of dissenters by putting them in work camps, easing the need for cheap labor, and allowing the remaining population a chance at hiding from their duty to protect constitutional rights by continuing to provide material comforts.
Like how bills that goes away our rights tend to have names that sound like they expand them
Gates does own 80 percent of US farmland, for anyone interested
Mmm yes. This is why I Lemmy. This article had so many bots praising him on Reddit. Refreshing to hear something other than boot licking
What comes next? Deporting citizens who are just criminals?
Trump didn’t shy away: “I’m all for it,” he said.
“If they’re criminals and if they hit people with baseball bats over the head that happen to be 90 years old and if, uh, if they rape 87-year-old women in Brooklyn, yeah, yeah, that includes them,” he added.
“They’re as bad as anybody that comes in. We have bad ones, too.”
I just read that the Indian government told it’s citizens to leave Pakistan if they’re there. Isn’t India a close partner to China? Would India see this in a negative light?
What a noob question. That’s the wrong question. You should be asking how to diversify your raider portfolio. If you invest your money on shit-pirates and lose your ass, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself.
Go heavy on Somalia, the big ones are there for sure. But don’t sleep on Indonesia or Nigeria. If the leaders sporting an AK, ask yourself “what kind of bling did the pirate leader add to his AK?” . Watch out for ‘gold’ AKs, a lot of wannabes paint theirs.
Blackrock owns the most shares too 🤡
Any vaguely political post gets hit by corpo-propaganda bots even on Lemmy. That’s why they sound like they have no idea what’s going on.
Particularly as the systems get more and more sophisticated at hypnotizing
Economic black outs. They can’t ignore money.
Every online space is being flooded with state run propaganda.
I’m not taking it personally lol but thank you for chiming in, it helps.
Nah I totally agree. I’m just pointing out the degree of hypocrisy. I’ve heard the take that the disingenuous politician realized they were free from repercussions after Nixon got away with it.
Didn’t mean to come off as divisive along party lines. Democratic and Republican party leadership is on the side of corporations and the wealthy. One class. Working class.

Woah woah. That was because he lied about it and it was a breach of family values.
Nothing like our current president who only tells the truth and is all about family values. And holds the Bible right side up.
Sorry you’re out here defending against bots or something. How anyone could forget the display of cognitive decline during the debate is beyond me. One of many.
Let’s not sugar coat it. I’m no trump fan but Biden was about as lucid as a piece of driftwood.
Advertising has grown into a monster. It’s pervasive. You seem to be defending the concept a lot, do you work in advertising? maybe you have better ideas as to how it should change to better address the problem the article charges advertising with.
Well it’s an analogy so let’s get more precise.
You don’t vote for a destination, you vote for a bus driver. Your two and only two choices are both telling you they’ll take you to the ice cream parlor while claiming the other driver will drive you off a cliff. Meanwhile, you see the bus passing multiple opportunities to stop at several different ice cream shops, doughnut shops, etc.
Then you find out that the company running the bus gets paid for every mile driven. And that every bus driver you’ve seen has been skimming the bus fare money.
Your shouts of protest against the bus chartering company are drowned out by all the other passengers trying to decide which of the two drivers would take the bus to the ice cream parlor vs the cliff.
