I still haven't slept. Too depressed and filled with anxiety to calm myself.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago

The inescapable dread will still be there when you wake up. Go to bed

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Sorry to hear friend, take care of yourself

[-] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

While I agree, and am right there with you, try and get some sleep. If it helps, try and make a list of steps going forward that will give you something to look forward to. Something to counter the insurmountable dread.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 6 points 1 week ago

There is nothing to look forward to. At this point all we can hope for is that our blood ruins their expensive shoes.

Edit: I just couldn't see it, not sure why

Are world users banned from showing up in .ml communities?

TIL (or at least this post does not show up there).

I suppose I should pick the largest community, except if it's on .ml :(

Fear is the path to the dark side.

I feared because of all the .world vs .ml rhetoric, and it lead me to the darkside to assume.

Thanks Master.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I would be very afraid if I was an American… oh wait…..

anyway. Looking at trump this time he looks completely different, you can see it in his eyes. he is jaded angry and vengeful, he also has experience, support and all branches of the government on his side. he will have no trouble getting laws passed, and he has had to make many deals with many opposing devils to go from felon to president, you can tell he has made mob style deals. Someday they will call upon him to do a service for them. I think trump had to go full sociopath mode to get out of this.

As long as I'm not confused for the subhuman filth that calls themselves progressive but spit on burning children because their skin is brown.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If you live in the US, and are left leaning (by international, no US standards) then I'm really not sure how this logic tracks.

You're happy the racist got elected? The one who said Israel must “finish the problem”.

Yeah, what a win for Palestine 👍

And what a win for the world on climate. Woooowee

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You just lived through a presidency that opened more land to private drilling than ever before in history.

From the man more responsible than anyone else alive for the modern mechanisms of white supremacy in effect today. (IT WAS A DEBATE! HAHAHA!)

Who have without restraint, limit or condition, allowed the genocide in Gaza to proceed with an intensity determined fully by the nazis doing the killing on the ground. Reserving no expense or material when they run low.

To invoke these things in service of your case is the rank cynicism of a fascist. Do you know the Sartre quote? How fascists can just bullshit with what they say because they feel no need to tether it to real life or anything they previously said? This election turned you into that fascist. Good job.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Firstly, I'm not in the US. Secondly, while I think the democrats are right-wing dipshits who's climate action is way too little, it is at least barely something.

Trump is actively against any climate action whatsoever.

The democrats (the people in control, not lovely people like Bernie Sanders), have enabled Israel. But they can be somewhat, barely, reasoned with.

Trump is actively wants Palestinians dead.

This choice was 100% a case of lesser of two evils, and the US chose the greater.

You calling me a fascist is bizarre when you are happy Trump won over Kamala. (Again, not from the US, and I think everything there is super, duper right wing from my point of view)

I feel justified in commenting, because the US holds so much power over the rest of the world.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You must live on a different planet than I do because everything you said can be observed to be completely wrong in just the last four years.

climate action is way too little, it is at least barely something

They gave Elon Musk subsidies in exchange for opening more oil fields to exploitation than ever before in the country. Why am I finding myself repeating this? Is this fact in dispute or something? Can I sway you with citation?

https://www.vox.com/climate/24098983/biden-oil-production-climate-fossil-fuel-renewables

You can't say that you're moving 'at least a little' in a positive direction when the reality is that we're further in the wrong direction than we ever have been!

But they can be somewhat, barely, reasoned with.

They fucking threw away one of their two 'must win' swing states because they COULDN'T be reasoned with!! Why can't you see what the democrats are when they shove it in your face over and over again?? Again and again I see you liberals coming back with the most mind melting argument ever: "we can sway them when they don't need us." Is that how it went when a group of children begged for their fucking lives in front of Nanci Pelosi on the topic of climate change and she laughed them out of her office??

The electoral system is a calculated dead end for social progress. It is designed to defeat you. I don't know how many more times you need it demonstrated before you finally look for actual solutions.

You calling me a fascist is bizarre when you are happy Trump won over Kamala.

Who the fuck said that? Do you need me to add the caveat that I'd be calling you a fascist if you supported Trump? Why? Am I being fucking obtuse with the fact that I'm criticizing you from the left or are you just deliberately trying to antagonize me? I'm calling you a nazi because you support the perpetrators of a fucking genocide. There's no more valid reason to use the name. Why are you acting like I'm happy Trump won? Because you're fucking petty and need a comeback? Fucking childish.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I will edit this comment later because I'm about to hop on my bike. Please recall you called me a fascist first, and in my opinion, very unreasonably.

On the bright side the democrats lost

This is why I'm saying you're happy Trump won. This is functionally the same, because of first past the post voting system.

So, I will get back to your strange comments calling me a fascist because I dare be sad the democrats lost over Trump (if you're not, yeah, as a leftist, that's weird. When the choice is pretty right, and far right. There's only one logical choice).

I live in Australia, where at least I have preferential voting (unfortunately single member electorates, which trends towards two parties), but if you live in the US, there was only one rational choice as a leftist, and it was the bloody democrats.

Just have to get home from work, so hang tight.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 week ago

Please recall you called me a fascist first, and in my opinion, very unreasonably.

copied and pasted from my last comment because I have zero remorse or sympathy so don't fucking complain to me about it. You're a fucking nazi and I'll continue saying it until you fucking recant.

I’m calling you a nazi because you support the perpetrators of a fucking genocide. There’s no more valid reason to use the name.

End of fucking story. I don't want to hear you fucking raise this as a complaint again. You ARE a fucking nazi. Stop it.

(if you’re not, yeah, as a leftist, that’s weird. When the choice is pretty right, and far right. There’s only one logical choice).

Again and again you fucking fascists keep fucking lying about the democratic party being any different from the republicans. "pretty right" is committing a genocide. You're fucking delusional. Don't you see that? Don't you have any dissonance from advocating for real life fucking nazis in the peak of their crazed bloodthirst and turning around with a cynical fucking smirk and calling them anything but monsters? Of course not. You're a fucking nazi and words are just there for you to play with. You have no connection to the truth or to morality at all.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yikes, I hope the weather is good there up on your moral high horse, where everyone who is a realist is a Nazi, where you prefer to do nothing over voting against a clearly worse candidate.

Calling Republican and Democratic policies the exact same is delusion.

I do not like or support the Democrats. They are supporting genocide in the middle east. No doubt about that.

I just think people, such as yourself, are deluded if you think not voting against Trump is somehow a logical decision, and makes you smart or morally superior. I hold those who had the chance to act to prevent Trump getting into power responsible for whatever more fucked up shit he does compared to the Democrats.

Again, luckily in my country, I don't need to tactically vote, but the people in the US do.

If they don't, they get Trump.

The actual Nazis are the ones who scapegoat groups of people as the cause of economic woes, crack down on "different" people, punish their political enemies, and make it even harder to vote them out. You can bet you ass that's going to become more now under this next administration.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 week ago

everyone who is a realist is a Nazi

You made the hard decisions that had to be made, huh? You did what needed to be done, right? You didn't have the luxury of morality, did ya?

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I didn't make any decision at all, since I don't vote in US elections. But yeah, this is the trolley problem, and most people agree doing nothing to switch the track to the fewer people being affected is the worse option.

If you can point to an area where Kamala and the Democrats could be viewed as overall worse than Trump in a leftist's point of view, by all means, do tell.

If not, you're saying standing there and not switching the lever makes you righteous.

Which, in my opinion, is a stupid take.

Calling someon a Nazi for advocating pulling the lever, is an even more stupid take. You're high on your own righteousness.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 week ago

Every time you confront someone on the right for the morality of their decisions they turn around and attack you for morality, casting it as a vice.

If you can point to an area where Kamala and the Democrats could be viewed as overall worse than Trump in a leftist’s point of view, by all means, do tell.

I don't think that's germane to the argument but I'll bite because there are plenty of examples. They deported as many migrants and asylum seekers as Trump did in their first two years in office. They were more aggressive building the wall than Trump was. They did more austerity than him. They did more carbon extraction.

Calling someon a Nazi for advocating pulling the lever, is an even more stupid take. You’re high on your own righteousness.

You gave material support to someone committing a genocide. I care that words mean things.
