In bad country, reporters are arrested for asking questions etc etc

Yeah it’s like, dude? The Sun is real.

It’s Big Breakfast trying to silence me!

Breakfast isn’t a real meal, it was made up by companies selling breakfast foods. Death to breakfast.

6:30am-12pm I am awake
12pm-1:30pm I am asleep (siesta)
1:30pm-12:30am/1:00am I am awake
12:30am/1:00am-6:30am I am asleep

I work from 2:30pm-10:30pm

Biphasic sleep. One 5 1⁄2-6 hour block over night, one 90 minute siesta before work.

Okay, but that’s why you aren’t a leftist.

Personally, the reason I have an .ml account instead of an account on one of the farther left instances which aren’t federated with .world is because I want to argue with people like you. I welcome the diversity of opinion between leftists and liberals, I deliberately expose myself to it. Liberals keep me sharp without being emotionally exhausting the way people farther to the right are.

The liberal wants to preserve some parts of the capitalist tradition while enacting some social reforms. That puts them in the center.

You want to talk about concentration camps? The US has the largest incarcerated population in the world, and it has my entire life, since Clinton introduced the Crime Bill. The prison population almost doubled from 1990 to 2000. That’s liberalism.

You have to be at least anti-capitalist to be a leftist. That’s the bare minimum.

Lemmy liberals are centrists. They favor capitalism with regulations and social welfare.

Liberals are not leftists.

They gave a lot of money to their consultants and advertisers, all perfectly legal.

Cui bono?

Is it too cynical to say that her billion dollar campaign was a money laundering operation?

They are literally the party of taking things away and making things worse. I cannot fathom how they have duped tens of millions into believing they are the party trying to help people.

A large part of the Republican base consists of people who want to make things worse for their enemies. They know that these policies hurt people with college debt and that’s why they vote Republican.

True, but also, there will be plenty of morons that just openly reveal who they are on their Facebook timeline. That’s still useful.

Although being called slurs by a chatbot will probably just make people stop using Facebook.

The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that the president is above the law: as long as he is performing an “official act” he can not be prosecuted for it.

Congress is only an obstacle because he allows himself to be stopped by it.

Look on the bright side: they’re saying these things under their legal names. You’ll know who they are and where they live.

Biden is still the president.

Chop it up, fry it with onions and peppers and rice, drown it in soy sauce, yes please

There’s an obvious bias here. Looking at the resignation of the Pinochet regime there was armed resistance also ongoing from Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionario. Rather than acknowledging the pressure this put on the regime, they are dismissed as irrelevant and harmful because they “only served to provide an excuse for Pinochet to use greater repressive violence.”

Businesses are about to learn that the NLRB was for their benefit, not ours. Wild cats and sabotage and cartels are back on the menu!
