What is hexbear?
I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of 'hitlerites'
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
You're viewing part of a thread.
Like 99.9999% of liberals I'm not actually in charge of the Democratic party or their broader strategy. Come election season I can choose
A) To vote against republicans in the general election B) To vote for more liberal parties in primaries
That is basically it. The effects of electing Republicans is often substantial risk to our nation and to myself personally so I cannot afford to score political points by voting third party nor is there good reason to believe this would be effective. The historical fact for 40 years has been that winners on the left side of the aisle had to appear attractive to moderates and liberals which limited how far left it was useful to get. Not to mention most far left positions are bad for the rich and corporations at least in the short run which leads to money drying up and the moderates who get said funding and more support from fellow moderates winning.
Basically folks like you are threatening other folks with losing if they don't execute a losing strategy. This is why it didn't happen because you weren't actually offering a path towards victory. Maybe after Trump completely ass fucks our country and probably impoverishes it for a generation we will actually have more will for real change but I wouldn't have chosen to sacrifice my family to achieve it.
My family has already been sacrificed and impoverished by numerous liberal and conservative governments. I’m not voting for democrats ever again. To hell with this country, let it burn and suffer as greatly as my family has. Chefs kiss when AI takes over the liberal elites jobs and suddenly their learn to code condescension comes back to fucking bite them, it will be well deserved.
All strategies by our imperialist capitalist governments are losing strategies and biden/Harris was not the less bad choice. They are equally bad for different reasons and only liberals can’t seem to get that through their propagandized minds.
My family has been impoverished since basically fucking forever and I thus have little space for performative shit by shit stains who would kick us while we are down to make what they misperceive as a point
thus have little space for performative shit by shit stains who would kick us while we are down
Ah yes, liberals. Painting rainbows in the road while not protecting queer rights, flying BLM flags while electing a cop.
Why are the worst takes always from world users???? This fucking close to blocking the whole damn instance.
Voting third party while the choice is between normal if shitty and a literal fascist dictator who wants to put millions of people in concentration camps knowing that a lot of people may literally die if we lose at this juncture is performative shittiness.
Both are fascist, dingbat. ~60k murdered under biden in Gaza and millions more in his failed covid policy. But yeah, sure, “lesser evil” whatever the fuck you tell yourself to sleep at night while the democrats completely fail us.
Millions were not killed by Bidens covid policy nor was he in any fashion fascist outside of your fantasies
Yeah, let’s rewrite history, liberal.
Shit libs having the worst takes, name a more iconic duo.
Please explain how Biden's policies killed millions
His covid policy was essentially “let it rip” and he cut covid benefit programs which forced people to work when sick or immune compromised.
Our leaders could of put an effort into systemic solutions for covid - funding schools to replace their HVAC systems for example - and they should of pushed masking more with legitimate N95s instead of the baggy surgicals or worse the cloth masks, and not mandated vaccines. The vaccines did not work at stopping the spread, and the idea that they lessened severity is theoretical (omicron came out around the same time as the vaccines and was not as deadly or serious as delta which killed otherwise healthy young people by the thousands). By forcing people to vaccinate or lose their jobs, people just wholesale discounted the entire pandemic rather than take other meaningful precautions. And keeping kids out of school was a mistake.
And he still owes me $600 that fucking racist Zionist bastard.
The vaccines kept those vulnerable parties from dying. The fact that vaccinated people had less severe cases isn't theoretical it is extremely well studied. It was reasonable to suppose it would slow the spread as less chance of infection means less chance of spreading it but factually vaccinated people were much more likely to take risks ergo this certainly more than canceled out benefits in that respect.
Also your concept that Biden killed millions is just un-mathmatical. The total deaths in the US after Biden took office is ~800,000. There aren't millions of deaths to lay at his feet period and laying even those 800k at Biden's feet is nonsense. Logically if you want to explore the impact of the president you would have to compare not vs a fantasy world in which there is no covid but a hypothetical one in which an alternative Biden made better choices with justification as to how your counterfactual is both foreseeable AND actionable.
For instance it makes no sense to ask 2021 Biden to act on scientific insight earned in 2023 or enact policies which is out of scope of his power, illegal, unconstitutional, or up to the states.
By forcing people to vaccinate or lose their jobs, people just wholesale discounted the entire pandemic rather than take other meaningful precautions.
It is profoundly weird to blame the left for conservatives refusing to protect themselves or others and blame their entire weird psychotic philosophy with its own proponents, memes, influences, and twisted perception of the world on the lefts vaccine mandate. Relatively few actually lost their job and the the entire movement pre-existed covid and only gained additional adherents and credence.
Also by the time Biden came into power n95 was already promoted as better unless you think Biden is at fault for not getting Trump's regime to promote better masks.
To recap
1.2M died since 19ever not millions
Of those 800k died after Biden took office.
It's not clear that many could have been saved by superior federal policy.
Your claim that Biden's actions led to the deaths of millions appears to be your fantasy unsupported by any objective reality because you are both scientificly illiterate and don't even know how many people died.
