No. Maybe sometimes they are. But generally, racial slurs are used explicitly to be racist or offensive.

do you think virtue signaling isn’t a real thing, or that it never happens?

no one has ever been offended by the word removed, unless they are getting offended on someone else’s behalf to virtue signal

good ass meme

I spent enough time in my teens and early 20’s doing that. I grew out of it when I got smarter and more jaded.

lots of unironic communists on lemmy?

So happy that I switched to linux. Microsoft has been one of the main forces of enshitification of the world. Fuck em. I cant play a bunch of games with my friends anymore, and I have to learn a few new CAD programs, which is like 10 thousand hours of work that I am flushing down the toilet. Worth it.

Ehhh, its been pretty pitiful from what I have seen. Certainly there are some exceptional usamericans who are out in the streets protesting, but on the average, the country is irredeemable. Fuck those people forever.

piss off putin minion

I am willing to die to fight magats, absolutely. I was considering joining the ildu, I decided to applied to caf instead because they have plenty of noob volunteers already, they need weapons more then me right now.

Americans still aren’t going to rise up though lol

Just wrong. Democrats absolutely deviate significantly. I don’t even know how to push back against this, it reads like you fed an LLM exclusively lefty influencer takes.

I have been extremely pro-democrat and it has driven me insane how the far left ONLY ever shits on democrats when they are objectively better than republicans on every single issue. Democrats generally vote in the direction of increased taxes on the rich, more access to healthcare, better safety nets, etc. while republicans are just demons who obstruct all progress for the sake of destroying the world. But after Trumps election, watching the cowardice of the dems actually fucking disgusts me. They might as well be republicans with their lack of response. Just a fucking disgrace. Fuck Cuck Schumer. I will stop defending dems. Trumps election is the official end of both parties. Neither of those parties can be allowed to survive if the US manages to survive this.

Ya I had a 12 year old account and 90% of my posts were about electronics and chemistry stuff. 90% of my comments were responding to people asking questions about my hobby stuff. Permabanned for enciting violence, when Trump said he wanted to annex Canada and I said we needed to prepare for war lol. FUCK REDDIT.

I understand that there are laws against violent speech online so the platforms have their hands tied in some ways, but they are completely fucking stupid. We need to get rid of them entirely. People are just going to say “luigi them,” instead of “kill them,” then “luigi” will become a banned keyword, it will get replaced with something else and so on forever. Especially when your country is at war, there is no way to talk about reality without talking about violence. And violence is justified in self defense. These laws are the product of some soy ass peace time virtue signalers and need to be immediately overturned so that people can begin organizing an insurgency for when the yanks invade.

keep telling yourself that you represent “the voters,” any not a tiny group of white college kids

I didn’t even know that one. It’s so sad how Biden’s name has gotten dragged through the mud.

Incrementalism is just democracy, shit moves slow, people disagree, there are laws and procedures it prevents the country from wildly steering back and forth like a schizo. Not anymore now that Trump has won, we get to see those large scale structural changes now. There is no hostile out of touch group with a death grip on the dems, the far left just doesn’t vote, or they are not that big of a group. Moderate dems appeal to more Americans then the super progressives. Harris lost by like 1-2%, and that is AFTER trump/elon most likely rigged the election through suppression and probably also hacked voting machines. The far left not voting for Harris knowing full well that Trump is an actual fascist, is suicidal accelerationism that will get millions killed. Fuck em, get the fuck out, stop associating yourselves with dems. Make your own shitty fucking party and lose every election instead of pretending your dems and then throwing a hissy fit every time the candidate doesn’t do fascism the way you want.
