I absolutely adore finding someone that drops 'TDS' in an online convo. Like, me am dumb, what TDS mean? Please eli5. And then they inevitably try to distance themselves, because using anything other than dog whistles is fucking terrifying to MAGA.
I try to stay out of chud spaces on the Internet. A conservative friend of mine dropped that on me IRL a few years ago saying I had TDS. It was the first time I had ever heard the term. I asked him what it meant, and he said Trump derangement syndrome. I said what does that mean? He said you're so obsessed with Trump you can't avoid shitting on him. I told him dude, you're so obsessed with him you have a name for a made up disease that assists in fondling his balls in your vocabulary. He genuinely couldn't believe I had never heard the term. This was maybe 2022.
I wear sunglasses anytime it’s daytime and I’m outside, cloudy or not. They are prescription and polarized so it feels like I have super vision with them. Please don’t conflate sunglasses with her insanity.
It must be so easy being a liberal. You can just ignore reality on command if someone calls you out. And there is seemingly no ability for you to feel shame.
A false dichotomy isn't about "fake options". Indeed, a false dichotomy may have two very real options presented.
Obviously, It's about restricting options to two instead of many. That is the entire premise of a false dichotomy. I encourage you to read the link you just posted.
To emphasize: the person you replied to isn't producing a false dichtomoy. They are analogizing YOUR false dichotomy.
Why would she need to? Trump also has some "inspiring" quotes himself: "Grab em' by the pussy." "If she wasn't my daughter I would be dating her." "I think she's going to have big breasts like her mother." I won't list more because it makes my flesh curdle but you can find them yourself.
It's so depressing. I mean, it can be nice to see there's a place where stupid people have stupid problems, to give my problems some perspective, but it's impossible now to open the web without non-stop American stupidity confrontation. It's nice to go to a theme park, it's hell to live there. I wish there was an American-free platform. Even Lemmy, which is mostly hosted in Europe, is completely taken over by Murica slop. No wonder those Americans are so self centered, when the entire world has to live in their drama.
That's true, there need to be people fighting back. But there is a difference in fighting back and being prosecuted for who you are. Being able to fight is a luxury. Know there are programs to help expats in European countries. To find a job, housing, hobbies, meet people, get life started, even tax cuts to make it more attractive. Your gender isn't illegal to put on a Dutch passport, for example.
I feel you bro. I live in the SF bay area so I fortunately live in a bubble of mostly reasonable people, but I've driven through some dark places in other states.
There should be an anti-Trump/anti-USian one there. Sorry, my phone was misbehaving, it wouldn't let me peruse further. But it has a lot of other very useful embed blockers there too.
It's hard to tell how much everything is just another chance to grift and these people are simply happy to debase themselves for their 15 min of fame (and associated ad money and derived merchandise opportunities), or genuinely just a caricature of dumb Americans.
For anyone curious, the American right wing wearing diapers in protests actually predates trump's diaper use. They did it to protest college safe spaces too. I think they just like wearing them at this point
I understand the point you're making, but allowing Clevon to make another 48 kids with his neighbor hasn't really helped avoid the descent into the hell called Murikkka.
Voting should be like driving; pass a simple test, get the right. Everyone can try, but not everyone will pass. But, since I'm wishing, i might as well hope for an Oompa Loompa that shits ice cream sundaes.
Voting should be like driving; pass a simple test, get the right. Everyone can try, but not everyone will pass.
First of all, in car-dependent America, damn near everybody does pass regardless of how shitty at real-world driving they are, because the test has been dumbed-down because driving is so "necessary."
Second, the difference between driving and voting is that people administering driving tests aren't highly motivated to fail people based on ideology.
I don't even need a link to believe it's real. When Biden called right-wing extremists trash, I ran into a woman at Costco wearing a dress made out of trash bags with a sign that said she was a trash human and a red maga hat. She was also walking around while talking on her phone with speaker phone turned on at full volume.
