But yet they still swear up and down they want more war.

Median voter moment.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 hours ago

How many of the 12% are in congress or the admin?

[-] Midnight_Pearl@hexbear.net 5 points 10 hours ago

i'm honestly surprised it's not way higher cuz all the chuds i know are ride or die with trump and stand by literally every single thing he does

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 32 points 18 hours ago

Twist: the 12% are accelerationists who think it's brought the fall of America closer

I don't think that that is what accelerationism is. Does it not require active participation in the event that is accelerating the downfall and therefore harming the regular folk, while having no plans to catch them in a revolutionary net?

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 2 points 6 hours ago

No, not if you're a fascist accelerationist.

Their plan is literally, make things worse and then violence.

if this country was a democracy its government would be very concerned

[-] The_hypnic_jerk@hexbear.net 36 points 19 hours ago

That's effectively unanimous lmao, 12%of people in this country are just psychologically contrarian

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 7 points 11 hours ago

Similar numbers as AI supporters.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 22 points 18 hours ago

probably a lot of boot boys and rug pullers in that 12%

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 16 hours ago

My coworker who says says "quant" like 10x an hour is real hyped!

[-] Sted@hexbear.net 40 points 20 hours ago

Imagine being one of the 12 percent. i-love-not-thinking personified.

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 6 points 11 hours ago

Those are mostly people who own Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon stocks.

[-] Omegamint@hexbear.net 18 points 18 hours ago

Happiest people on earth, just nothing going on inside. No worries at all completely at peace inside and out.

Most of them are probably Flat Earthers.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 19 points 17 hours ago

You shouldn’t be allowed to have opinions on foreign countries if you are a flat earther, like where do they even think Iran is

[-] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 11 points 10 hours ago

Suspiciously far away from the inner ice ring.

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 42 points 21 hours ago

You can get higher number of people who think the moon landing was faked.

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 7 points 9 hours ago

I'd love to see the venn diagram on that one

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 32 points 21 hours ago

i want to sit down with these people and ask them to plainly and clearly justify why they think it

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 3 points 3 hours ago

It's so funny to see Trumpist say some shit about women's liberation.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 21 hours ago

Remember for a bit Trump being hyper-fixated on "peace" then like half a year later he bombs Iran. Ah, nostalgia.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 36 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

I can't believe the winner of the prestigious FIFA Peace Prize would do this.

[-] TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 17 points 21 hours ago

Football is so fun to watch at low level but once you get to any professional level fifa is involved in it ruins everything.

I can’t wait for a day when its just socialist country teams playing each other

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
