Richard Branson is another one of those guys who don’t understand how lucky they got.

You know you can check what a software is before you download it, right?

I think it’s more a problem of intelligence, which can be mitigated by education but you’ll always have a certain amount of people who can be told any given lie and they’ll not care whether it’s true or not, even if they know better.

The 1% cry about it way less than the 40+% of absolute troglodytes in this country who think of themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires and love their tacky prophet Donnie the douche

I know about 20 guys in my town with the exact same face and the same expression. Blandness personified.

I can’t blame them, I’d vote for Beeman and the A-Train in a heartbeat, if they ran.

Hey, I’m vegan!

Oh you’re vegan, too? Because I’m vegan!!

I’m vegan btw

Ahh the blind activism of the the intellectually challenged…

Why do you want to break Lemmy

Aka “getting radicalised by bad faith actors on the internet”

I think you meant to say “tankies”?

You’re arguing whether the GM theory is right or wrong, I’m saying to Trump supporters, it doesn’t matter, he’s their “Great Man”, they’ve fallen for the idea that a Great Man will fix all their problems. Because they are stupid and believe in false ideals. That’s why I’m getting the impression you’re trying to show off how much you know instead of engaging with the actual topic. Do you need a pat on the back?

Oh someone took a semester of social sciences! Way to go, son!

Yet who is a better fit for that theory than Trump, from the perspective of his fans, at least?

I understand your position but I think you’re wrong. Fascists always, without exception, need a “charismatic” leader like the Nazis with Hitler or the Russians with Putin. There’s currently only Trump who can fill that role. It’s of course possible that another such person appears out of nowhere, but I don’t see anyone on their side. Trump was a TV star and tacky racist celeb (birthed) since the 80s. His brand isn’t new, he build it over a long time. Who do you think would fill his shoes if yesterday’s attempt had succeeded? There’s no one.

That it does probably means that Americans deserve whatever lows their country will fall to.

That’s a bit drama-queenish.

We had a good thing before Trump ran for president and won.

Once he’s gone things will go back to normal over time.
