I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

Clearly none were paying attention in Civics class.
Yeah, their newest cope is to say the Democrats are equally as bad as the Republicans, despite that being so blatantly false to anyone who has been paying attention for the past 8 years. They’re in for a very rude surprise when their plan to “push the Dems left” results in Trump obliterating Gaza and enacting Project 2025 and pushing the country even further right than it is now. And there won’t be another election for the Dems to court Left voters for.
In my experience it’s usually number 3. They’re not at risk under a Trump administration (or so they think) so their hands are clean, no matter how damaging their actions are. Throwing Gazans, Ukrainians, LGBTQ, women, minorities, etc under the bus while claiming a moral victory for “punishing the Democrats”. And no amount of explaining this to them will make them realize this, because they just bury their heads in the sand, call you a genocide lover, and start blabbering about “Blue MAGA” or whatever is the new buzzword of the week.
It’s black and white thinking and it’s stupid. There’s zero nuance to it.
I’ll just stick with Wallpaper Engine, thanks.
The other people in Putin’s administration also have their own families and interests and wouldn’t want that put at risk by nuclear annihilation. Even if Putin himself tried to give the go-ahead, I doubt those in charge of the nukes would want to effectively commit suicide over Putin’s stupid invasion by firing them.
What a loser. Good riddance.
Sure, let’s kill or jail everyone we disagree with. Surely that won’t lead to anything bad, right? It’s not like this hasn’t happened before and lead to millions of deaths or anything.
And yet people here still try to push a “bOtH SiDeS” narrative…
No hate like Christian love.
Stupid sexy ICBM…
I expected a .ml to show up huffing copium when I saw this thread, wasn’t disappointed. So predictable.
Because banning people you don’t agree with from running for Congress is fascist, even if it’s for what you believe is the right reasons. Everyone has a right to vote for who represents them, even if they’re garbage.
Bob-ombs, multiple variants of Shy Guys, Birdo, and Pokeys all originated in DDP. All of those besides Birdo have been mainstay enemies ever since.
In a way they’re worse. At least MAGAs are open about being shitty people and don’t pretend otherwise. Stein supporters will act smug and superior (“I didn’t vote for Trump directly, so my hands are totally clean!”) while they let Trump fuck everyone (Gaza included) over. They’re so focused on what’s happening across the ocean that they don’t care about the dumpster fire happening at home unless they can use it as ammunition to push “BoTh SiDeS” bullshit.
That’s Index’s “gotcha” every time someone brings up the dinner photo. He posts these every time as if it’s not normal for world leaders to meet… and Stein is not a world leader.
Do your own research!
Quite a few people on Lemmy are like that.
Russia good, West bad. No further thought required.
