real world alchemy. lol

i wonder if the eu would ever come back to the table knowing w certainty that another trump is waiting in the american political wings from now on.

knowing that their people been propagandized similarly to americans makes me think that they will due to the profit motive.

you would think that respected journalist would make you wonder if you were doing the right thing; but i suspect that blinken would see it like it’s much ado about nothing.

i envy these people; i too want epiphanies or realizations about the propaganda i’ve been force fed all my life in a good way.

not frustrating at all; simply par for the course when talking to people from .world and i wish that there were more that could break that mold.

also: bieng a halfway decent online citizen should be a requirement for any mod; but clearly not on .world or .ee.

i was in your shoes last year; but it was the only job for me and it changed my life forever. i’m glad i got a long off ramp and it sounds like you still have income so i hope it’s not all bad.

You folks know that we are “in the same room” as you?

honestly i forget most of the time. lol

there are so many liberals on lemmy, especially on .world that rarely post/comment and it makes me forget that they’re there lurking most of the time so i’m glad you commented; this community could be better by the addition so it more closely mirrors the activity of the other leftists communities.

my like minded friend is right; an overwhelming majority of liberals exhibit provocative behavior when confronted w their behavior regarding lots of things including the genocide; exactly like the post i was referring to in my comment.

i was getting meaningful engagement w people who couldn’t/wouldn’t appreciate the gravity of a genocide and it’s impact on the election and i think it helped me understand a little bit more why something so obvious to me wasn’t so obvious to them; then they removed the post simply because it was a substack article on a yougov poll explaining that kamala harris lost the election due to the genocide.

bieng able to talk about things like this wo the mod who deleted that post having the ability to delete this discourse about it, is what makes lemmy worthwhile; but the class war is going to take a while longer if our somewhat-likeminded friends continue to insist on these provocative behaviors on lemmy.

it’s an american empire thing; even the liberals on .world deleted the post rather than accept that the genocide had anything to do with it.

i’m expecting them to ban me as well since i practically spammed that post in the last hour or so.

Edit: they deleted the post instead. lol

it sure seems that way:

Biden 2020 voters who did not vote for Harris who say their top issue was ending Israel’s violence in Gaza in key battleground states:

Arizona - 38%

Michigan - 32%

Wisconsin - 32%

Pennsylvania - 19%

he didn’t let that stop him; he sent his emissaries to doha and brokered a cease fire earlier today.

go see the .world version of this in their politics community; even now, when there’s data to prove this they continue to stick their heads in the sand and it makes me scared for the future.

so far; it’s looking like trump is the better option due to the ceasefire and i hate admitting it; i hate admitting even more that he failed.

the polls shows that many more were pissed off about gaza than anything else, including inflation or the wealth gap.

except for all the leftists on lemmy, tiktok, reddit, etc. saying so.

the democrats are very publicly insisting that they lost because they either didn’t appeal to working class or they went too woke; that means they’re willfully ignoring this main reason so it needs to be said outloud and just as publicly as possible so that they can’t just keep burying it.

but the democrats are saying that they lost because they ignored working class voters and it’s TOTALLY TRUE because bernie and pelosi very publicly fought over it and there’s now way that it was solely performative. lol

i bet “rules based order” will become a deprecated response and i wonder what the next one will be.

out of 170 million; less than 1% 🤦‍♂️

thanks, but don’t be; it’s well in the past and i think i learned from it. eventually, it’ll be water under the bridge like the 90’s & aughts are for me.
