2024 is basically just "2016: The Sequel"

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

With a bit of added 2020 spice

Not only US politics. Romania is about to vote for a right wing extremist as their president, Germany is going to vote for a right wing, extremist party in February, France gave right wing extremists 30% of parliament, Spain voted for a right winger too, Hungary has had Victor Orban for years, and so on. All the while progressive and left leaning people either don't vote, strategically vote for a center right party, or vote for some unknown, unimportant, backwater party that has no chance of doing anything in parliament.

As Yeats famously wrote:

The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

Seems it's happening again.

The problem is that centrists consistently align themselves with the far right in order to screw over the leftists.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 7 points 7 hours ago

Centrist is the funniest political term ever. Most self-proclaimed centrists are actually further right than most self-proclaimed right-wing people, far less supportive of democracy, AND are also the least informed about political matters than either right-wing people or left-wing people. All of this has been verified by multiple studies, too.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 37 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And leftists can't unite because they spend their time arguing about whose motives are more pure.

"Judean People's Front!? We're the People's Front of Judea! And if there's one thing we hate worse than the Romans, it's the bleeding Judean People's Front!"

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Leftists are busy screwing over other leftists because they're not good enough.

MAGAs are dumb but 'both sides same so I'm not going to vote' leftists might as well be braindead.

I used to think like that when in my early-mid 20s I would revisit childhood cartoons of mine (80s and 90s stuff) and I would say to myself that this crap is unrealistic because no way the villains could have such dumb followers and be that dumb and continue to exist.

Now I realize that the only truely unrealistic scenario is that in those cartoons you have the good guys who are lauded as good guys for defeating the villains. In reality the villains would simply have some basic PR and propaganda to label the good guys as the real villains and people would swallow that shit up like nobody's business.

Now there's no more oak oppression

For they passed a noble law

And the trees are all kept equal

By hatchet, axe, and saw

They'll just keep blaming it on the other sheep and the sheepdogs and the shepherds

[–] jas0n@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Yeah, he will just manifest a new enemy to blame for his incompetence. Last time, it was the "deep state." Remember, everything he says is accepted as fact. Like election fraud, where the only evidence is that he said it. Reality has never stood in the way of sheep logic.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 49 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

"he tells it like it is! and unlike the liars on the 'left', his lies are obvious and so we're all in on it!"

Wanton stupidity abounds...

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

No one told me there'd be wontons!

What were you saying about stupidity?

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 7 hours ago

Nobody told me the wolves would be bringing wontons! And here I am voting for the humans like a chump.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Hitler also carried out everything he campaigned on. It's the appeal of a populist strongman, they actually do what they say they're gonna do.

The problematic part was all the extra stuff he didn't mention. When he said he would deal with the Jewish problem few people understood how far he would go. He was also beholden to big business despite his apparently socialist posturing.

[–] RidderSport 3 points 11 hours ago

I feel like it should be something along the lines of told/outspoken/self-proclaimed [socialism] as apparent would imply that his acts had the look of socialism, which was not really the case

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm 1 points 10 hours ago

You'd think we would have learned from the past, but no. Humanity has a short memory.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 23 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Anybody else wish, that people remembered, how to use commas?

[–] CodeInvasion@sh.itjust.works 16 points 16 hours ago (8 children)

In German, the above is how a comma used, and this type of usage might might be common in other languages too.

I wish.

And I'd like to propose a more humane perspective, the "wolves" here will go great lenghts to keep their fanbase from understanding what's going on.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Between that and all the "I told you so" people, I can't fucking wait to go online for rich social experiences from very great Americans taking action about their situation /s

Edit: Yes, I have set up some Lemmy filters, but it's gonna take time to refine. If anyone has a good list of filter keywords, it would be kind to share out to others.

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 6 points 15 hours ago

All of them

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The kerning on filled is distracting me. What font does that?

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Keming font

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don't see anything weird about the kerning, unless you mean the "fi" ligature.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Is that the right word for it? Whatever you call the dot on the i disappearing.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's a ligature, it's an intentional thing to make it easier to read funnily enough. More and more fonts are supporting them these days so you're gonna see more of them.

There are some common ones in these words, but some fonts support even more: Official, finger, flight, affluent

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Make trumpgret great again

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

2025 will be sheep watching the wolf use sheep to build a fence to keep the other wolves (actually sheep the wolves have combined the inside sheep are wolves) out, 2026 will be the slaughter of the sheep.
