“Dear Jonas,” the president wrote to Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre. “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT.”
I mean, sure, that’s the worst thing we’ve seen all week so far. But look - Harris didn’t do enough for the proletariat!
So. Y’know. This is the Democrats’ fault.
You gotta put /s or face confusion.
Fun fact, detecting written sarcasm is one of the more, let’s say, rare elements of verbal fluency.
Lemmy.ml genuinely believes this. They will still insist that not supporting Harris was somehow the right decision.
probably too much of a sweeping generalization there. I would say (with zero evidence other than my interactions) that after the great reddit migration, those who might say this are likely in the minority.
I cannot defend this other than “the feels”, but hey… I think lemmy.ml got moderated a little with the influx of cooler heads.
Maybe I shouldn’t generalise, but when I have seen Lemmy.ml posters, they often take quite extreme positions. E.g. insisting it would have been wrong to vote for Harris (even as a lesser-of-two-evils), insisting that Chinese imperialism and Russian imperialism are justified (only western imperialism is evil, apparently). Stuff like that.
there are long standing radicals on the .ml instances, to be sure. I would place the bulk of the current lemmy.ml userbase between Democratic Socialist and Social Democrat (with a strong, vocal splash of authoritarians mixed in there somewhere).
lemmygrad.ml and hexbear are often otherworldly - interesting to watch, ocassionally interesting to engage, but always entertaining if you can pick out the salient arguments from the confusion. love federated systems :-)
