Americans could find out they're being killed en mass via gas chamber and they'll go "Oh that's terrible" and carry on doing what they're doing. Honestly Americans, what would it take?
Americans could find out they're being killed en mass via gas chamber and they'll go:
"Shouldn't have broken the law!" As their 34-time felon president murders people with no criminal record.
A huge portion of our country are absolutely fucked in the head mentally and not smart. It's going to take the upcoming depression to wake them up or they die.
You forgot the racism
That's the not smart part. Judging people by their skin color and blaming them for your choices you've made to end up where you are in life is probably the stupidest thing you can do.
Judging people by their skin color and blaming them for your choices you’ve made
Court judges?
The problem is that when the other half of the country learns that fact, they think "Good."
I see the Reuters video has already been posted to this community, so I'll refrain from cross-posting the Guardian article here as well. @engene@lemmy.ca if you edit the post and set the following as "Thumbnail URL" it will show up in the websites/apps better: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/e439f142-4f5c-475a-b1b0-d0ee102de6f7.jpeg

Thanks
Hmm, the thumbnail change doesn't seem to have federated to lemmy.ml or other instances (so far at least), but it shows on lemmy.ca. Interesting. Thanks for updating it.
we have performed a thorough investigation of ourselves and decided those responsible for the SOS have been deported. SOS is actually code for MS13.
MS13 is America's Hamas

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
