If we ever have elections again, convince your friends to not vote for fascism and misogeny.
Joking aside, I needed to be better at getting my friends to vote at all. They were abstaining out of protest and I just couldn't get through. It was tough and it's enraging to see them go "I told you so".
Well, it's too late now. They'll "never have to vote again."
Idk if you know these kinds of people, but some of the arguments I heard were "democracy isn't at stake because we don't have one to begin with, Dems and GOP are two heads of the same snake". I honestly am reconsidering one of my friendships because when I mentioned I have a degree in political science, she told me people with degrees are brainwashed by the corporate education system. It really freakin' hurt to hear that.
Those aren't your friends, they're Nazi sympathizers.
The people on Lemmy don't even know what fascism or misogyny is. They can't even detect it. It's astonishing.
If you think its bad here, just know that most Americans are even more ignorant.
What's your goal with this statement? Just to excuse the sexism on Lemmy? To manage my feelings about sexism?
Honestly, I think 4b will be very effective because if Jodi Foster can convince one man
"If ya wanna shoot your load, your gonna have to shoot your load"
"Dad, what started Civil War 2?"
"Leftists got horny son, now eat your hot chip"
Like dudes aren't going to wait 4 years to get laid. I'd give us 24 hours tops before you see left wing men dawning their blue union uniforms and writing to their sweethearts.
"My dearest Martha,
Our battalion has just crossed into Mara Lago after a fortnight of marching. I yearn to be back with you to feel your touch. We are to confront the MAGA army by dawn, and I pray that we win so I can see those sweet titties again. Until then I will keep a brave face and a musket that is loaded, much like my balls."
What the fuck am I reading?
I didn't even realize it was one person replying to themselves until just now. What the fuck? Did they forget to switch to their alts? Is it performance art?
It was more performance art.
I was treating it more like a Twitter chain since the one liners kinda didn't pace right in a single comment imo
But c'mon I think some of these one liners slap. This is my anger therapy.
Anyone reading this feel free to comment/ message me with your angry jokes and I'll upvote.
The art I turned my pain into.
That art happens to be a Lemmy thread. My pain is weird.
