I make art that’s totally mine because I did it through AI. https://imgur.com/a/Rhgi0OC
If you look at what he actually did first term and compare it to this term, they’re pretty close in their evilness. The Muslim ban, the family separation, the hiring of really dumb people. Everyone is just forgetting or weren’t paying attention the first time.
At no point did he say, “Give him a chance.” He said, call what he actually does as legal, legal, that’s authoritarian as authoritarian and call what he does fascist, fascist. Is Stewart perfect in his takes? Probably not, but he’s the best we’ve got.
I appreciate the help. I wonder if they’ll ever have grammar bots on lemmy.
I couldn’t find it going over all’s history, but I did find this fucking funny one. Musk is desperate and over-leveraged. The double finger “gun” is hilarious.
I like “Hot” and “Top Six Hours” myself. “Scaled” and “New” aren’t bad if you’re looking for more content.
At the time of that video, over a month ago, trump just got in office. He was doing really awful things legally. Just like he legally cheated. Stewart was saying, tell the people what he really is doing that’s illegal, fascist sounding but legal, actually fascist, etc., not call everything fascist because then it gets lost in the noise.
I wonder if you actually watched it. Stewart was saying that to save the stuff that is actually fascist for the stuff that trump does that’s authoritarian because of this, the “firehose”:
“Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people, or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).”
The goal is to keep opinions we don’t want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can,…
Did I do the wrong one? I still can’t tell, lol. Sorry grammar gurus, I’m not one of you.
They’re here, but they’re obvious when they post so they get buried. I’ve seen them make their own posts with built in upvotes, but real people just ignore it. It’s not that huge of a problem yet. I’m sure it will be when they build up enough accounts, that’s the only way they can get any traction at all.
Yep, and also probably a bot. I’ve seen a ton of these kind of bots around lately. The “it’s documented” part is new though. I’m curious how a bot would answer that if they answered at all.
It’s total BS but it’s not like the previous administration wasn’t doing the same thing to a lesser degree. It’s documented
What is documented and could you provide a link? I don’t think I’m understanding what you’re saying.
I’ve known of (met briefly) 2 families that moved to Canada during the first term. Still there and happy from what I’ve heard.
Or even better- force people on reddit to make mandatory posts praising billionaires
I’m pretty sure they already have bots that do that.
Are you on VPN? If not, they have your IP address. They probably have a device signature as well.
I agree. I think the bad place had a warning page if it was deleted for violent or abusive content. Otherwise, it stayed up. Again, it might be different now though, I haven’t been there in years now.
We had a lot of really intelligent people with no empathy or morals working on it since at least 10 years ago. It’s really depressing how good they are at it. Thankfully, when it happens here on Lemmy, it’s way more obvious. I try to call it out, but I end up sounding like a broken record. Most of our media is playing along too. Again, help your community and watch what they do, not what they say (not telling you specifically, but in general).
Keep protesting American products please. It actually will help. If trump is losing the US money, he will be reigned in.
I know he’s one of the good guys, I agree.
I never watched the Apple show, so I have no idea on how they compare. Jon is doing old school Daily Show stuff on Mondays and then the rest of the week is a different host that hosts the entire week. You’re probably not going to agree with everything he says, but they have an amazing research staff. You’ll see things there that you might not see anywhere else because they care and are more journalist than most of our media.
Instance Mods and admins can’t just disappear people and communities without a trace, and trolls can’t make up stories of unfair moderation without bringing receipts and their old account name.
That actually isn’t true, they can disappear it for normal users. I’ve had things disappear at LW and when I called it out, the shitty admin dude went after me. Also, if you delete a thread, it disappears. That’s the one thing the bad place did correct up until I left, it might be different now though. They kept the threads up even if they shut down the thread. Now, it just disappears.
What country are you from?
