  • You have ignored my question about which part of the right-wing rhetoric we should be taking seriously.

    If someone threatens my family and friends with violence and death, they get no sympathy from me. The difference is I am just a rando on the internet. Trump is potentially the 47th president of the United States. Trump has said terrible things that allude to violent insurrections and the killing of innocent people.

    But you’re right, we should take his points seriously and incorporate them into society going forward.

    Get fucked.


  • What complaint am I supposed to be taking seriously exactly?

    The one where trans people are invading women’s spaces to rape them?

    The one where immigrants are all violent criminals who eat dogs?

    Or maybe the one where women are getting abortions instead of using birth control and should not be allowed to make decisions about their own bodies?

    I am a white man. I don’t care about the complaints of white men that boil down to “I’ve been on top for so long that any attempt at equity feels like a threat to that position”.









  • By working with Midjourney, he adds a human touch to historical storytelling

    What part of the process is the human part? The bit where he asks the climate-destroying computer for a picture of a city he admittedly knows very little about? Or is the human part all of the art and images that were used to create a plagiarised AND inaccurate image of history?

    The guy walks into a historical building, and upon seeing some art, his first response is “I wonder what that art is about, maybe my followers can tell me”. This is the guy who is creating historical images of the city? The guy who only learnt recently that large ships were not historically seen in the harbour? I’ll admit my knowledge of Amsterdam is lacking, but I’m not trying to pass AI slop off as historically accurate representations of the past.

    You want to bring history to life? Ask a historian about the history, and pay an artist to accurately represent the truth.



  • This shit again?

    If you are going to ask the question “why won’t people date me?” And then combatively respond to anyone who has answers or suggestions, then you shouldn’t post here. There is genuinely good advice in this thread, but this user is only looking for a pity party and attention.

    If I asked “why do I always burn my dinner?”, but ignore the people who suggest setting the oven to a lower temperature, I’ve not only wasted their time but my own.





  • What?

    Do you know how elections work in your own country?

    The US is First Past The Post. Whoever has the most votes wins, even if they do not have a majority of the vote. Splitting the votes of one party, or abstaining from voting only gives more power to the opposition. It is an absolutely shit system, and election reform needs to happen, but it’s what you have to deal with now, and being ignorant of how it works is going to hurt everyone.

    Hypothetically there are 100 people voting between the “stubbing your toe” party and the “hot poker jammed in your urethra” party. The urethra party runs a campaign about how horrible stubbing your toe feels, and gets 40 votes. The Toe Party runs on a platform of “the choice is obvious” and gets 35. A small subset of Toe-ers break off and run their own “hitting your funnybone” party because they don’t like feet and get 10 votes. The remaining 15 voters really do NOT want to have their pissholes sealed shut by a piece of red hot iron. But at the same time, stubbing your toe or hitting your funnybone really hurts as well. They equate “pain” as an absolute value, deem both sides equal and abstain from voting.

    The number of people who do not want a blistered pisser outnumber the opposition 60/40. But in the end, the numbers come out; Funnybone : 10 Toe : 35 Urethra : 40 The next day, everyone is lined up to get their pissholes branded.

    Are you telling me that the abstainers hold no responsibility in the hurt that is bestowed upon the whole group? Or that Funnybone can blame Toe for not marketing themselves better?

    You can’t vote against Trump, you are correct on that point, but abstaining from the vote reduces the numbers of literally the only other option.



  • The fellow who wrote the article telling people not to vote has very public and very biased political views.

    If someone who wasn’t an alt-right shill wrote a similar article, I’d argue it on its points (which would all be bad). When a fascists writes an article like this, we call them a fascist and argue them on THAT point.

    If I openly sell Cadbury chocolate, and go around telling people Hersheys is poison, while wearing my “I love Cadbury” shirt, are you likely to believe me?


  • What comments exactly have “Democrats” made in this thread that prove they are Nazis? Specific examples please.

    The person who wanted to punch the cunt in the face didn’t want to do it for not voting. They specifically said it was because the cunt was a fascist who held and promoted fascist values. If punching fascists is wrong, baby, I don’t want to be right.

    Are you telling me that WWII propaganda featuring Hitler being beaten was fascist?


  • What is your actual, useful, opinion then?

    Biden is made to step down, and the Dems are split. Sure, the politically-minded on the left will back a new candidate, but the majority who do not follow politics like obsessed weirdos on the internet will see a Democratic Party that is in-fighting and indecisive.

    It’s happening already. And replacing Biden, the incumbent President, with a relative unknown is just going to see more chaos. The type of chaos that Trump took the presidency from 8 years ago.

    We saw it in 2016, and it makes me actually sick to my stomach that It’s happening again in 2024. The world is fucked, and changing the dottery old idiot at the head of the only party that has a chance of standing against literal fascists THIS close to the finish line is such a stupid fucking hill to die on if you aren’t being paid by the Russians.
