Bessent: I just wanted a fascist government takeover, not a bad economy.

I don’t want it to end in violence but with the really bad recession or even depression that is headed our way… there’s no way to keep people together over that. Too many people will lose too much.

Even the neo-Nazis are questioning Trump. Nick Fuentes seemed frustrated with him.

They did after the Great Depression. The tariffs Trump is implemented have a good chance of creating a Depression.

I only have this issue on political communities. Anger towards Americans is much more pronounced on Lemmy than on Reddit. People will call for violence a lot more frequently here than on Reddit.

I understand the anger towards Americans, but it can be downright toxic to organizing at times. I’m here because I want to discuss 50501 without censorship. A lot of people belittle my movement and call for riots.

Like, it’s not everybody. There’s good people. It’s just that morale is a precious thing to preserve. It’s so easily destroyed here. It’s exhausting.

I haven’t heard anything about people buying drones. The gun ranges have been packed though.

Luigi Mangione has been the only thing uniting the left and right in the US. This is one of the few things that has managed to break through Fox News propaganda. Killing a legendary hero isn’t the win the GOP thinks it is.

Democrats and Republicans alike banded against Luigi. It’s Citizens United talking.

I mean, this really isn’t new for us.

It’s a perversion of Christianity.

God can commit genocide and torture because His actions are beyond human understanding. God is the creator of Goodness, so every action he does is Good by design. I personally view God only as Good because he is powerful, but I view Jesus as Good in a more genuine and human way.

The powerful like to take the parts of religion that allow them to live in a simplified world. A world in which they are Good, like God, not by action but by power and nature.

They forget that sinning applies to the powerful, just like it applies to the weak. Everyone deserves to be forgiven in Christianity, but only after you’ve paid for your sins. People like the “being forgiven” part, but not begging for forgiveness in a brown sack covered in ashes part.

They need an excuse to cover up their real reason: that they think peasants have a duty to breed for the state.

Republicans: Fuck ‘em kids.

The “pro-life” party really loves the death penalty…

What I was thinking too.

Adding to this, PunkRockSportsFan ignores that religion has been used to end violence. Christianity was a huge part in the US abolitionist movement.

They forgot the “/s” then. I couldn’t pick up on that.

Also, what is “America’s Great Saviors?”

IndustryStandard criticizing Kamala but mentioning Kamala wouldn’t do all the same things as Trump. I like how they mentioned it was the a stepping stone for Trump’s deportations but I was not referring to that specifically.

Kamala did support the brutal crackdown on student protesters. But, she did indeed not deport them. That said, ICE under Biden and Kamala was already heavily in violation of human rights and continuing the Trump 2016 agenda. Deportation of wrongthink is but the next logical step of the ratchet effect.

PhilipTheBucket liking that that IndustryStandard’s post was nuanced and not as simple as “Kamala bad”.

I think I will do up a FAQ for the disinformation community or something, it is getting tiring repeatedly typing the same responses. But I do appreciate the extra effort to at least put together something which has some semblance of plausibility instead of just seeing “Gaza” and reaching for the “Kamala Harris” button without bothering to make it make sense or relate in literally any way at all. Big improvement. Good stuff.

I was trying to say I liked the nuanced discussion, and was expanding on it with my own experiences.

I appreciate it as well. I don’t like people dismissing the wrong Biden and Kamala have done. However, the people constantly saying it doesn’t matter if you vote for Kamala or Trump because they’re both fascist is wrong and annoying.

Also, I really like your username. I learned about that fish from Animal Crossing lol.

I think the ATProtocol is better when it comes to connecting between different social media types. But I think ActivityPub makes better use of different servers.

Though I think something like Lemmy is difficult for both because of how different it is from most other social media types.
