Bread and circus. The dial on the circus went up (social media) so the powerful can now steal the bread (goods).

It's all just more of the same.

I'm sure attacking states is going to make the USA a stronger union, especially as it isolates itself from the world.

Been on Lemmy from Reddit for over a year. Really don't miss it, except for a few niche communities.

You sidelined US companies the moment you enacted tariffs (among other things), you turd.

They want maximum trade barriers going in and minimal trade barriers going out.

It's just straight up bullying. Always has been.

This is what happens when people who, at a primal level, think the world is a zero sum game. Who never learned how cooperation results in bigger rewards.

That's called the free market, you communist pig.

I'm sorry, but how did this post explain how the fediverse works?

Let me take a stab at explaining how the fediverse works.

The fediverse is a loose collection of communities with different rules and values that freely decide to share content with each other. These communities foster different opinions. The choice to freely associate with other communities is the antithesis to echo chambers, meaning we don't go around with an attitude of "that kind of thought doesn't happen here".

If it could be broken so easily then WTF is your administration using it in the first place, dumbass.

Deny, deflect, diffuse. That's all they do. Lie, lie, lie. Anything to avoid any kind of accountability.

He's just a snake oil salesman looking to cause a problem to sell the solution. Just the usual conman shit, but at a national level.

My 50 year old "dumb" doorbell doesn't need to be recharged. More proof that "smart" technology isn't actually smarter and isn't actually making our lives easier.

It has to be this fucking stupid, because the weapon of choice against democracy is idiocracy.

I know what you are saying, but consider for a second that the shit we are experiencing today ultimately stems from tribalism. Tribalism existed full well in hunter gatherer societies. In some ways better (no nukes). In other ways, far, far more brutal.
