Wait, so bombing hospitals is bad??

- some dude at IDF right now

I don’t go on Facebook and my Facebook circles weren’t interested in us politics anyway. It was r/politics, news, memes, latestagecapitalism, basically everywhere, both on reddit and lemmy. They are still here, every new gop fuck up asking why democrats didn’t do anything to stop it. They are in this very comment section.

Back then the argument was “I cannot support biden (later Harris) because they are not perfect on issue X”. I do believe people can be so stupid. Maybe they didn’t vote for trump, but definitely actively discouraged people from voting blue.

I’m not that invested in this beyond a quick wiki scan. Sorry to disappoint you righteous rage.

I live in a country where we have a social safety net, so even having charities for such basic problems is weird to begin with. What is even weirder is to rant on the internet about people who are at least trying to solve the problem.

I live in a country where if you don’t have a job the government will pay for your rent and utilities, indefinitely.

Additionally, I have a deal with them as well: If they don’t sleep on the benches I will not sit in their beds. Works wonders.

Their talking points were the typical that are considered “leftist” in America (and centrist in Europe): universal Healthcare, free education/forgiving student debt, etc. Whether they were bots or not is impossible to say in this day and age.

Do you think there’s only 1 charity in north America? What a weird argument to make.

I don’t live in the US so I don’t have first hand experience but both on lemmy and on reddit it was mostly leftists who were spamming “genocide Biden (without mentioning that trump was even worse)”, something about inflation (like it wasn’t a global issue) and other issues where gop is clearly worse. All as a reason to not vote Democrat.

As far as a quick Google search goes, support seems to be provided, they offer 2000 shelter spots across north America.

So you would prefer that there is no shelter and more benches for homeless children?

I think the message is perfectly clear, and people online are just looking for reasons to be upset (not that they would do something about it, just posting angrily).

My knowledge is limited to a short wikipedia scan, but I didn’t see any reason to doubt they do it. Feel free to link some info if you know better.

It’s more like “no kid should ever sleep on the streets so we provide them with shelter and support”, but that doesn’t make a good internet rant m

Conservatives: "No. Kill the trans people and put gays in jail. Women belong in the kitchen. "

Liberals: "No 😘 🌈 "

Lemmy: both said no, so they’re the same!

The planet isn’t doing anything, we are poisoning ourselves. Or as lemmy puts it “big evil corporations (which we support everyday because it’s cheaper than buying local/sustainable) are poisoning us”.

Plot twist: they’re a bus driver.

It’s not only not a race, the whole thing is not even negative. It’s a clear example of “everything I personally don’t like is racism”.

System? Is that an euphemism for “voters”? Seems from your description that voters want money for police tanks, not school teachers. And then they end up having the day they voted for.

Jesus will make all sinners fr*nch as a punishment.

So they are technically missiles. Nature is wonderful.

Democratic countries usually put this to a vote of some parliament, there’s no king/ayatollah/dictator. So maybe China could do it, but France Britain or India wouldn’t.

But once he is in power he can decide to rescind it, specially as the military requests it more and more. Even more now as attacks escalate.
