I owe this women an apology. She was completely right and reacting appropriately.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 94 points 3 months ago (3 children)

A lot of people owe that poor woman an apology.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The hate she gets is wild. I don't always find her comics funny, but the absolute vitriol she gets is wild over on Reddit.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago (4 children)

... I don't think the person fizz is talking about is Pizzacake. if you look at the source view on his post, it's the woman screaming during trump's first inauguration/announcement of election results

Not me, I very much felt the same way as she did. And I knew very well what the 2nd term would look like and so I was very sad when he did not get shot that one time. "Oh, how can you say that? He's not that bad." Blind fools the lot of you. It was always so very obvious if you had just cared to look.

Who is this woman? I’m not familiar with the reference.

[–] Carrot@lemmy.today 54 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Someone who was filmed screaming and crying during the announcement (maybe inauguration, can't remember which now) of the 45th president of the US

[–] Odo@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Jessica Starr. It was Jan 20, 2017 just as he was sworn in. His terrible followers sometimes subtitled this image "autistic screeching".

Oh ok. Yeah that was the correct reaction.

You know what you see here? Acceptance of election results. You know, what many trumpers lack.

I had someone here on lemmy literally tell me that history doesn’t matter and we shouldn’t pay attention to it. The ignorance was fucking astounding.

Years ago someone told me on reddit that antivirus protections on personal PCs aren't necessary and a waste of processing power.

Can't really reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 19 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Were they arguing that extra antivirus wasn’t necessary? Cause windows built in has been better than alternatives for years now (well, idk about 11, but 7, 8, and 10 all had good antivirus).

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 13 points 3 months ago

When I was a strapping young lad, I would rather just reinstall the system in case of viruses than living with the antivirus software

Funny that the one thing all three scenarios have in common is: “misled people that vote”. I wanted to write “dumb and ignorant people voting” but I wanted to be generous

As an autistic person who has a great skill of finding similarities between two things, you can see a lot of parallels between our modern world and 1940s Germany.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 26 points 3 months ago (5 children)

I'd say we're still at the 1930s Germany stage, considering World War 3 hasn't started yet.

[–] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 3 months ago

Unfortunately there are plenty more fascist regimes than Germany's to choose from as examples. Many didn't start a world war, and therefore lasted much, much longer than the Nazis did.

Basically what I think of Simpsons "predictions".

Matt Groening isn't some kind of clairvoyant. He just knows history and recognizes patterns.

[–] albbi@piefed.ca 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm scared about the prediction of Britain saving America's ass in WW3.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago

Oh, that's wrong. Nobody is gonna come save America.

More like the show has been running for over three decades, it would be weird if they didn't hit a few.

The left will never get the credit for being right all along.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

That's okay. I don't want credit. I want things to get better. I want to make things get better.

Also they laid it all out in project 2025. It's not like they tried to hide it other than trumps usual "I've never heard of it". And if you believe anything that shithead says.. well this is what happens

Yes, this is what drives me crazy. These fascist fuckers literally wrote down what they were going to do and then started doing exactly that. How could we have known? A mystery, for sure.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

Being a leftist means being right too soon...

[–] IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It goes back further than that.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (11 children)

this current arc starts with 9/11.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 20 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Disagree. This is the result of decades more bullshit from other american presidents, political figures, and 3 lettered organizations ran by ghoulish wastes of skin. There have been many famous people who have been outspoken about this shit in that time too. 9/11 and America’s batshit insane reaction to it was just more of the same dumb bullshit the rest of the world has come to expect from it’s governments and citizenry.

Anybody with the slightest Critical Thinking Skills knew how bad this would get, way back in 2015.

I knew who this hump was back in the 80s, and could have told you what a disaster he'd be as president back then, and would have been 75% correct, with only a 25% underestimation of how bad it would actually be.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Overall 40 percent of Americans didn't even read a single book last year. Doesn't bode well for critical thinking if we can't even read.

If I'm being honest, the first term was quite underwhelming compared to how bad it could be (as 2025+ has proved).

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Did you forget all the COVID anti-mask and anti-distancing insanity? The still-not-fully-understood blatant theft and corruption around the PPP “loan” program that pilfered so much money it inflated the US Dollar at unprecedented rates? The intentional separation of children from parents by force?

He didn’t surround himself with literally zombies who only say yes to him during his first term. Them turning on him when he wanted to overrule the election results showed that. He doesn’t know how government works and thought everyone should treat him like a king from the beginning and had a rude awakening that was term 1. Now he knows and thus, utter destruction.

2015? lol... USA has been a trash empire since a few enslavers made it up.

[–] orioler25@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Yes, but have you considered how bad it is that respectable white people are now affected by its brutality? Have some empathy for Christ's sake. 😤

Seriously though, it is incredibly frustrating to see discourses like these when racialized and indigenous people in the US metropole have criticised the fundamentally violent nature of the United States before it was even imagined. The smugness of it all y'know?

Well, to be fair, being able to read is quickly becoming indistinguishable from the arcane arts in America.
