It’s almost like running certain things for profit completely destroys them.

It’s both. They are unequivocally profiting from the cruelty.

Especially conservative politicians… The undisputed kings of evidence based policy.

It looks like the cumulative total of plastics produced by the 80’s was around 2-3 trillion billion tons, whereas now it’s probably more like 20-30B.

Don’t worry, I won’t try to help you again.

I’m not the one living in a fascist dictatorship, blaming the people who saw this coming decades ago, numbnuts. You are!

Maybe you should take a break from sniffing your own farts and try to learn from history, instead of repeating 2016 and 2024 all over again?

So… your argument has no evidence or basis in reality, beyond the anecdotal from your own experience on Lemmy/SM?

All you’ve done is provide another datapoint for why Liberals have helped turn America into a fascist dictatorship… Living in a manufactured reality based on feefees and propaganda instead of empiric evidence…

I’m not American, and I’ve advised people to vote blue no matter who for over 20 years, so as a foreigner watching America slide towards fascism for decades I can tell you, American liberals are just as much to blame for fascism as the uneducated morons brainwashed by it.

Both parties have been destroying the working classes economic mobility for almost 50 years. Just because 1 party is worse than the other that doesn’t absolve either of their sins.

Yet now, at the final hour, you blame a phantom left for not biting the pillow, as though that would’ve changed the multi-decade fall of the empire.

I tell ya what, though. Just cry harder and blame the left. It’s worked for fascism!

Emshittification is required to bleed the stone dry.

Exactly… don’t blame the billionaires, oligarchs, or the criminally corrupt political class… don’t blame the 70 million fascists, or the 100 million people who completely ignore politics… or the Democrats who fail to motivate all of them and maintain unwavering support for a genocidal ethnostate… or the 60 million neolib centrists who insist on supporting the lesser of two evils, and reject “radical change” after the 5th “once-in-a-lifetime” crisis in a decade.

Blame the phantom protest voters, without evidence, instead… THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT.

The “protest voters” are basically “the jews” or “immigrants” scapegoat for liberals. At least you get to enjoy the smell of your own farts while the fascist coup proceeds unabated.

Stop acting like laws can fix fascism. Half of everything Trump, the GOP, and every lobbyists, have ever done is criminal and breaking dozens of existing laws. Laws only matter if they’re enforced, otherwise they are chains utilized by fascists to delay an appropriate counter-response.

The only thing that will fix fascism are general strikes large enough to damage the economy and make the capitalist/political class shit they’re pants, or violence. None of these psychopaths are going down without a fight.

That’s because they only support “democracy” when it is ruled by a corporate oligarchy. Neolibs will not abandon neoliberalism when it becomes unpopular, they will abandon the illusion of democracy; just like conservatives did.

This is American fascisms version of “died by falling out of a window”. They’re making it obvious they can disappear you if you become a problem for them; maybe even implicate you in CP to destroy your life before they take your life.

The fact that D’s refused to release any of this strongly indicates Epstein island was an intelligence honeypot. How does the west feel about their “democracies” secret police enabling and protecting pedophiles as part of intelligence gathering and information warfare? That would be worse than any common war crime IMO.

The Guillotine

Once they’re all in there they’ll claim “hamas is using the camp for terrorism” and just blanket it with 2000 lbs dumb bombs, while calling it a “precision strike”.

In the context of the US fascist dictatorship and Apple being the dominant smartphone there, starting with Apple makes sense.

If it can be done within Apples curated monopoly, it will be technically possible on Android (probably).

Yep the USA is cooked. Trump represents a mental illness epidemic, and a collapse in education so significant it is practically guaranteed to destroy the empire.

You simply can’t rehabilitate tens of millions of brainwashed morons. Antivaxers don’t switch back to accepting science… People forget that most of the “true believer” nazis died in battle in WW2; that the war resulted in a cultural and ideological “reset”, which allowed Europe to rebuild and move on. Without forceful removal, the cancer of fascism will continue to grow and fester until civil war or WW3.

MAGA are mentally ill from propaganda… mainly with narcissism, but your critical thought needs to be corrupted to listen to Trump speak and think “that’s my guy”.

The AI anchor will never die, grow old, or grow a conscience. It can remain the perfect propaganda operative, A/B test in real time, etc, forever.

“The solution to pollution is dilution” is capitalist propaganda to avoid paying for their externalities.

We live in an enclosed biosphere, and have been polluting it — poisoning it — well beyond what is sustainable for well over a century, and are continuing to peak ecocide every year, with no reduction in sight.

So yeah, we have microplastics in our balls and brains, are breathing air, drinking water, and eating food, with an ever increasing number of synthetic chemical compounds that are literally poisonous. What the fuck we think was gonna happen? Eternal youth?

Haha. All of your comments are shit. It’s like a masterclass in how to be a dickhead.
