Lemmy since the reddit collapse
  • Politics, like it or not, is a big part of our culture. Art (memes included), comments on culture. I agree it can get exhausting, but it’s not something that we can hide from either. Personally, I prefer white quips about the subject compared to the doom scroll articles seen on political news communities.

    Critical thinking education trumps banning and censorship in battle against disinformation, study suggests
  • I mean, the sentiment makes sense, but if the answer is to teach more kids to think critically, we have an uphill battle.

    Honesty, in these dire circumstances, we need both tools.

    AP: Utah man suspected of threatening President Joe Biden shot and killed as FBI served warrant
  • Honestly this blood is on the hands of places like Fox News and OAN. They cater to and mermen’s mental illness until it manifests like this. And they know it. Fox News was making fun of its viewers off camera. The way that the skillfully manipulate the minds of the vulnerable is nothing short of intentional. If a therapist were to do this they would see jail time for sure. But when the media does it, we all just shrug.

  • You would think an attorney would have the forethought to recognize how posting online might hurt his case in the future. This lends evidence to my hypothesis that being a republican really is a mental illness.

    Christie calls Trump ‘a one-man crime wave’
  • Bold words from a man who once endorsed trump while he was catching that wave. Trump didn’t do this on his own… he is not smart enough. It was support from hacks like this that helped him glide into power.
