I owe this women an apology. She was completely right and reacting appropriately.
A lot of people owe that poor woman an apology.
The hate she gets is wild. I don't always find her comics funny, but the absolute vitriol she gets is wild over on Reddit.
... I don't think the person fizz is talking about is Pizzacake. if you look at the source view on his post, it's the woman screaming during trump's first inauguration/announcement of election results
Oh, I don't see anything but text in Fizz' post and don't know what source view means.
Who is this woman? I’m not familiar with the reference.
Someone who was filmed screaming and crying during the announcement (maybe inauguration, can't remember which now) of the 45th president of the US
Jessica Starr. It was Jan 20, 2017 just as he was sworn in. His terrible followers sometimes subtitled this image "autistic screeching".
Oh ok. Yeah that was the correct reaction.
You know what you see here? Acceptance of election results. You know, what many trumpers lack.
I had someone here on lemmy literally tell me that history doesn’t matter and we shouldn’t pay attention to it. The ignorance was fucking astounding.
Years ago someone told me on reddit that antivirus protections on personal PCs aren't necessary and a waste of processing power.
Can't really reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
Were they arguing that extra antivirus wasn’t necessary? Cause windows built in has been better than alternatives for years now (well, idk about 11, but 7, 8, and 10 all had good antivirus).
When I was a strapping young lad, I would rather just reinstall the system in case of viruses than living with the antivirus software
Unfortunately a lot of AV “solutions” on Windows are proprietary which makes it a no for me.
The left will never get the credit for being right all along.
The best the Dems can do is demand their vote then if they win say they didn't need it but if they lose it's all the left's fault.
As an autistic person who has a great skill of finding similarities between two things, you can see a lot of parallels between our modern world and 1940s Germany.
I'd say we're still at the 1930s Germany stage, considering World War 3 hasn't started yet.
Unfortunately there are plenty more fascist regimes than Germany's to choose from as examples. Many didn't start a world war, and therefore lasted much, much longer than the Nazis did.
It goes back further than that.
this current arc starts with 9/11.
Disagree. This is the result of decades more bullshit from other american presidents, political figures, and 3 lettered organizations ran by ghoulish wastes of skin. There have been many famous people who have been outspoken about this shit in that time too. 9/11 and America’s batshit insane reaction to it was just more of the same dumb bullshit the rest of the world has come to expect from it’s governments and citizenry.
I posted 6 words. you somehow didn't read half of them.
And to be honest, @Serinus@lemmy.world is probably right, since I was thinking of the broader surveillance world etc, not the current offensive by Russia against the world.
Eh, that was a different, tangential thing. This arc started in 2015 when Russia figured out how to manipulate social media while absolutely no one was guarding against it.
I'd say it goes all the way back to Reagan and almost every single policy he had that weakened the absolute fuck out of average US citizens, while allowing the influence of the rich to grow to insane levels.
Somewhere in the middle.
It was salvageable up until House and Senate leaders like Gingrich, Ryan and later O’Connell started playing identity and obstacle politics with Democrat presidents in particular. Around 2010 it really accelerated.
Based on what you're saying
tin foil hat applied
It was accelerated by OBAMA!!!!
Not Obama, just that that's when Citizens United passed. The same thing that caused fascism in Germany, the same thing that caused fascism in Italy.
I'd argue a lot of the seeds were planted with 9/11 and later 2008 finical crises that Russia would later exploit when the GOP attempted to use Obama to retcon Bush from history.
Also they laid it all out in project 2025. It's not like they tried to hide it other than trumps usual "I've never heard of it". And if you believe anything that shithead says.. well this is what happens
Being a leftist means being right too soon...
If I'm being honest, the first term was quite underwhelming compared to how bad it could be (as 2025+ has proved).
He didn’t surround himself with literally zombies who only say yes to him during his first term. Them turning on him when he wanted to overrule the election results showed that. He doesn’t know how government works and thought everyone should treat him like a king from the beginning and had a rude awakening that was term 1. Now he knows and thus, utter destruction.
Did you forget all the COVID anti-mask and anti-distancing insanity? The still-not-fully-understood blatant theft and corruption around the PPP “loan” program that pilfered so much money it inflated the US Dollar at unprecedented rates? The intentional separation of children from parents by force?
yeah but like, I saw that—if that is the same person—she dared to make some comics about very obvious social issues rendered with very competent art and comedy and also dared to be a woman doing such activities and as a person of man I find that objectionable that a woman so me mad. but like just because i had to see it because me mad at her because she is.
I remember Lemmy having a matter boner for her last year cause of some law suit.
Basically what I think of Simpsons "predictions".
Matt Groening isn't some kind of clairvoyant. He just knows history and recognizes patterns.
I'm scared about the prediction of Britain saving America's ass in WW3.
Well, to be fair, being able to read is quickly becoming indistinguishable from the arcane arts in America.
We got that teeny tiny micro apologie from Anna Kasparian the other day. Wait lemme get a microscope for ya…
Anybody with the slightest Critical Thinking Skills knew how bad this would get, way back in 2015.
I knew who this hump was back in the 80s, and could have told you what a disaster he'd be as president back then, and would have been 75% correct, with only a 25% underestimation of how bad it would actually be.
