So you want to watch a movie of people being tortured and deported and killed? I don’t get what you’re trying to argue here.

Alternate, simpler explanation: watching the trump administration in movie form isn’t fun. Fascism is boring.

In general, yes. I’m not super old but there’s never been a time in my life when that hasn’t been the case. Hard to think of a developed country where this is false.

I mean not as much as Russia or China, lol

Audiobook shelf is great, and they have several good client apps in addition to the browser app.

No, fuck dumbasses who think a dash makes you a computer.

Nice attempt at both sidesing. I’m assuming you’re mostly focused on the us, so there is one party in power in all three branches of government and the other party has close to no power (the current shutdown demonstrates how the democrats are damned if they do and damned if they don’t).

In terms of citizens, a broad portion of the us population has spent the last 50+ years hating the government, but now that it’s small enough to fit in pants they seem mostly content.

Another broad portion has historically viewed government as trash but the only way to get things done that benefit the population. Since the government is now heavily focused on doing whatever it can to hurt the population (whether you’re a farmer, immigrant, elderly/sick, or whatever, this government is actively trying to hurt you), that portion is now unhappy but with no realistic approach to solving it.

My perception is that outside of 20-somethings, people are more or less in the same bucket they’ve always been in. Nothing going on here is remotely new. I don’t see any real change in people wanting anything other than the status quo.

Oh hey you’re right, you are two separate people. Fixed the text of the post. I do wish this app made people more visually distinct. It’s not 1990. Well either way you seem to be well aware I was referring to the other person’s comment, so we should be good to go.

Go away troll

I’m very calm, you seem to be the one letting your emotions control you here.

Is lemmy about praising people for making pointless, self aggrandizing claims that don’t contribute to the conversation? Cause that’s what the post I was responding to was. “Ha I’m better than all of you and I have no intention of contributing because I’m better than all of you”. That’s unkind.

You think utilize is stilted formal phrasing? Unfortunate. For society, I mean.

So you “know what op means” about hating a specific phrase, but you personally don’t have emotions? If you don’t have emotions how can you know what op means?
