Most prosperous and free country. Which will come to the surpise of the slaves and indigenous population. Or whatever that cunk on earth quote is.

"With its cowboys and guns and steam train rides, America became known as the land of the free, which must have come as a surprise to all the slaves."

Shortly followed by this banger: "The North asked the South what kind of America it wanted to live in: one where white people leeched off other races while treating them as inferior, or one where they pretended they didn't."

Thank you I was looking everywhere for it!

Governnents and the powerfull, they want slavery. They need constant pressure to not give into their instincts.Sadly, making all those that genuinely wanted freedom fight and tricked into thinking the fight was over, suckers. Slavery still exists, in fact its as bad as ever was, just not with its usual symptoms.

Well, :australiaburning: so there's a good chance they don't care much about indigenous people.

I do like being able to say any dumbass shit without getting libeled though.

prosperous and free for the white labor aristocrat and petit bourgeois and haute bourgeois suburbanites and McMansion enjoyers working desk jobs at MIC corporations, that's all that matters. Everyone else is invisible to them.

I'm glad you weren't harmed by passing through their beam of clown energy, OP

Meanwhile this guy thinks lemmy.world is a tankie instance.

[-] CCPIsBased@thelemmy.club 18 points 11 months ago

That deserves it's own drunk tank post

I mean feddit has been absolutely wild these past couple of days, I could fill this entire comm with the shit from over there. But its just so bleak the way people regurgitate the "not the time to criticise Israel", "the IDF may be no boyscouts but the Hamas has been killing babies!" with worse and worse variations.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago

It's simply a fact for you to be aware of

He wants a glorified changing of the guard.

Gödel, the guy who famously proved that the foundations of mathematics is flawed, also pointed out Gödel's Loophole in the US constitution when he was naturalizing as a US citizen which allows the US to legally turn into a fascist dictatorship.

Also good point to point out that the US constitution is the second attempt at writing down government, after the failed Articles of Confederation.

It's not really that it is flawed, but that any formal system is going to have blindspots. I think the commonality here is that our boy just loved analyzing formal systems and thinking of corner cases and exploitable features.

Thank you! It's great to hear some sanity

Liberals discuss dissenters without implying dissenters are mentally ill (and that mentally ill people are fundamentally bad and need to be silent) challenge. Difficulty level: "WHO HURT YOU?" ![smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png "emoji smuglord")

No, I will not read a wall of text from a username that references pedophilia and incest

[-] HelloHotel@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

How badly did we fuck our culture to make another language's word for "older brother"/"big brother" a dirty one. Problem, japan's petophiles fucked the word for themselves.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
