I haven't looked back since I left. Very much recommend
Not OP, but I have come across a few, not many, alt right users from the dbzero instance. Not enough to remember their names, but enough to know they definitely exist.
Though I will keep an open eye for them now.
Federal government data and websites are, by law, in the public domain.
Any work done by a federal employee in their capacity as employee is also in the public domain.
What Trump represents is worth more than the terrible things that go against their values.
Also bare in mind that now, more than ever, Trump has a cult of personality around him. Remember when his ear was supposedly shot and wore a bandage for a few weeks? All of his acolytes followed in response.
These people, and what I'm about to say I don't say lightly, worship him. Like how North Koreans worship Kim Jung Il.
expecting them would just be ok because they were always ok.
And therein lies the problem. "It's always been good for me so the suffering of others doesn't bother me."
Short answer: because people are complex
Long answer: as much as the media would have you believe otherwise, life is about compromises. You weigh different values against different needs, you're going to have to compromise somewhere or you won't be able to live.
You're hungry so you decide to go out for food. Your options are Chick-fil-A, a company known for their delicious chick sandwiches but also known for supporting alt-right organizations, McDonald's, a company known for completely fucking over worker's rights but hey they have the Big Mac, or a small Mom and Pop shop who's politics you don't know, except you're in a deep red area.
You could decide on the lesser of three evils but you're still compromising.
It's the same with politicians. In 2020, Biden wasn't elected so much as people voted against Trump.
Trump may not embody everything that conservatives want, but they are willing to look past those imperfections because he is going to accomplish more of their goals than a Democrat would.
They care about state's rights as much as they care about legal immigration.
Corporations are going to corporate. Red state liquors will "move" their operations to a blue state, doing final labeling before shipping to Canada.
Right as they continue to fund fascism.
- Must be willing to enforce instance rules as well.
Yup, I can do that.
- Being very active in /c/piracy will be a big a plus, as that will allow you to notice and respond to problem posts, even before they're reported.
I'm probably not as active as I'd like to be but mostly because my Lemmy is set up to look at all.
- Knowledgeable about pirate culture and tech a plus.
I'm not sure what you mean about pirate culture but I'm in tech.
- Bonus if you're an anarchist as that vibes with our instance's culture, but not strictly necessary.
I'm not an anarchist but share many similar views. If that's going to be an issue, I understand.
I'm on the US east Coast. UTC-5 right now.
Which corporations will use as covert to jack up all their prices and not lower them when fuel prices go back down.
they never thought they’d be the ones bankrupting the country.
Stop this thinking right now
They don't care. They only cared about the country going bankrupt when Democrats had the White House. Go back through any bill debate to raise the debt ceiling and you'll hear nothing about "uncontrolled spending" from Republicans.
Their voters don't care. They see "a return to traditional values" because they can now dead name trans people and start saying the n word.
We crossed the Rubicon. We are entering fascism.
I hate to say it but Russia will need to attack those countries directly. That's the only way they'll get more directly involved.
Russia knows this and it's why they are careful not to attack them.
