You gotta stop huffing paint, bruh!
I live in Norway and feel the same way. However I will point out that trump is pro Israel and doesn't like Muslims. He even wanted to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Friendly reminder that only one of them is unstable enough to use them.
Depends where in Europe. It is a bit bit arguably not as hard right as the states. You also have to consider that the cut off for left and right differ wildly between countries. AOC is pretty much center for Scandinavia. Joe Biden is center right... Which is why we're so concerned about trump.
That's true. They don't call it terf island for nothing.
Your work should always include a qr code that leads to goatse.
I'd encourage LGBTQ folk to relocate to western and northern Europe. It ain't perfect, but you're very unlikely to get the shit kicked out of you.
The heritage Foundation has been putting the right people in the right places for a long fucking time. Trump is only a foot in the door. The fundamentalists and far right will probably whack him themselves once he's elected. They are using his stupidity and cult following to gain power. If you don't resist, it's going to be a handmade's tale type dystopia for you and a return to pan continental war for us.
I don't envy your position tbh.
As a non American, trump winning will destabilise things in Europe way more than it will in America. The cunt's said Russia can do what they want with NATO member states. It means all aid to Ukraine stops and Ukraine will lose because Putin has an endless supply of meat to take it if Ukraine can't find the artillery shells. Russia will turn Ukraine's now highly trained, well equipped, and battle hardened army against Poland. Major bloodbath! After enough primary school children have died on the frontline the Baltic states will be next, followed by Scandinavia.
Sure Europe will eventually stop them but at a massive cost. And that's only if China doesn't openly arm Russia or send troops. The only way to avoid it is if the US and Europe remain tight.
The trick is to keep removing the people in power until the people in power no longer want to turn your country into a theocratic ethnostate.
Well obviously a pitched battle against the maga folk isn't going to go well, but I'm sure there's a way to get to their god-emperor. Does the 2nd amendment also cover IEDs?
Correct me if my European brain can't comprehend this, but isn't the whole point of the 2nd amendment to prevent the rise of tyranny?
If I had a billion dollars, no-one would hear from me again.
Wouldn't it be funny if the article was written by chat GPT.
You're just salty because you've realised you're expendable. Don't feel bad, I am too. But in reality for a community to survive, they really only need food and rudimentary medical services.
I'm talking about necessary for the species to carry on existing. And yes I grew up in a place with no police, no military, no EMTs, no firefighters. We had a nurse though. If someone did something that would normally involve the police, it was settled by the parties involved. (If you got drunk and drove through someone's fence, they'd show you up at your house with a roll of barbed wire and some fence posts and you'd have to fix it. Possibly also round up any escaped sheep)
No, you're correct.
Society needs farmers and doctors. Like it or not, everything else is optional.
Ok so I left Britain more than 15 years ago and have been living in Norway, blissfully unaware of what's been happening. I recently went back to visit family, where I notice that my dad's had a bit of a swing to the right, politically speaking. At some point he put on gbnews.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?
How popular is this blatant propaganda?
So I know that despite the classic portrayal of an autist being someone who is asexual, many of us are at the opposite end of the scale. Yet if you search for Lemmy communities, there are several for asexual folk and none for hypersexual folk. Is there any good resources for us to rant/support each other/talk about our struggles? If it were specifically for neurodivergent folk, that would be a great bonus.
I have three with one on the way. It's a constant struggle to keep the place livable. Before I had children I was not a neat person and kept things livable by not doing things that made mess and staying out as much as possible. Can't do that with kids, so what's the trick?
I'm really into unusual/insane/unhinged. I find them fascinating. I've followed conspiracy theorists, alien abductees, otherkin, therians, people who eat cat fur of their sofa, etc etc.
I'm looking for good weirdness to watch during downtime. Any suggestions.
Really nasty people will do.
Im having difficulty finding names I like. I need two - three names that roll off the tongue and wouldn't be out of place with a long hyphenated surname.
No religious names
No surnames
No places
Nothing that rhymes with Aden
Upvote good suggestions otherwise post ones. Bonus points if it's a sci-fi name.
Edit: lots of good suggestions, but I think I'm going with 'Wash'.
