  • You could read what I linked; guy lists his own credentials and experience in addition to his sources.

    Still curious why "they've been doing that for a long time" is justification for you to just ignore all the unethical voter disenfranchisement occurring, especially considering the unprecedented scale (of which you be aware if you'd read my link).

  • Yes, it was totally the fault of random people (especially citizens of another country like me) who didn't push the Dems to be more progressive that got Trump the win... because all the people who voted the orange shitstain totally would've swung left if the left party had been more left. Makes perfect sense.

  • Why are you excluding the "plain sight rigging?" Beyond gerrymandering, millions of voters were disqualified through ostensibly legal means that likely wouldn't stand up to legal challenge, but the Democrats were so concerned about taking the high road to pre-empt accusations of "throwing a tantrum" like the right did on January 6 that they just let it all slide.

  • I mean, neither side took a stand against genocide, so any would-be progressive who sought to "punish" the Democrats by not voting for them over this gets as much sympathy from me as all the regressive dipshits whose faces keep getting eaten by leopards. Every vote that wasn't cast for the "genocidal" Democrats was a vote cast for the genocidal and also fascist white nationalist party.

    How's it feel knowing you've got a great view of 'Murrica openly trying to emulate 1930s Germany from the saddle of your moral high horse?

  • Never heard of Poe's Law, eh?

    Come up with the most unhinged parody you possibly can of these nutjobs, and I guarantee some of them wholeheartedly believe worse.

  • There was a similar case here in Alberta several years ago. Kid got bacterial meningitis and his parents tried to treat it with chili oil and maple syrup. Poor kid reached the point where he couldn't sit because his back muscles were seized, so Mom threw a mattress in the back of the car for him to lay on to visit the naturopath. Nurse friend of theirs alerted them to the possibility of meningitis and told them to take him to a doctor, but instead they went home and did nothing for several more days... kid eventually stopped breathing, and they only called 911 after he started turning blue. They lived in bumfuck nowhere, so it took fifteen or twenty minutes to meet the ambulance in the middle.

    Rather than accept even a shred of responsibility, they blamed the ambulance for not being adequately equipped to resuscitate their child.

  • It's amazing to me how many people antivaxxers claim to know who've had adverse reactions to a vaccine, given how low actual rates are. I'm convinced that these dipshits not only attribute every sniffle and scrape they suffer to vaccines they received, often years or decades earlier, but use the word "know" as shorthand for "heard thirdhand from someone."

    One antivaxxer I used to work with claimed he knew six people who'd suffered severe adverse affects from one of the COVID shots, but it turned out they were all cases he'd heard about from a girl he used to date whose former roommate was a nurse or some bullshit.

  • There's no cognitive dissonance here, and far too many people misuse the term. Cognitive dissonance is a feeling of discomfort a person feels from holding beliefs that contradict each other or from behaving contrary to their beliefs.

    This is just plain old stupidity. These assholes believed vaccines are a hoax, their daughter died as a result, and they still believe vaccines are a hoax. They behaved exactly as one would expect antivaxxers to behave.

  • Yeah. Plenty of Germans didn't "wake up" even when their Jewish friends and neighbours were being abducted and sent to concentration camps. 'Murrica is no different.

  • "Noooo, not like that!"

  • And straight... and cisgender... and nominally Christian, or at least not overtly Muslim, Satanist, atheist... and not a critic of those in power...

  • Until you actually start cleaning house, you are not our allies. Comments like yours, and other empty expressions of support, are as meaningful as "thoughts and prayers."

    Get your shit in order rather than whining about how unpopular your country is.

  • It kind of astounds me that's these people think an omnipotent and omniscient deity, capable of speaking the universe into existence, needs their help to bring about his plans for Armageddon. Like, God is gonna be foiled if America stops unconditionally supporting Israel or something.

  • That's a pretty fucking stupid take. What other period or event in Germany do you think he might been referring to, where some prisoners may been given "extra help" and extra food? C'mon, let's hear it, I'm genuinely curious about your rationale here.

  • Something, something, stopped clock...

  • Would be a decent enough idea if "fake news" actually meant outlets/personalities that just blatantly make shit up, but we all know what he actually means is "anyone I disagree with."

  • Doubly ironic when one considers just how much Republican state sponsored violence is occurring. Fuckin' hypocrites.

  • Don't need to pull passports when ICE can just pretend anyone they pick up doesn't have one.
