  • Having recently gone to a rave I can confirm clothing like that does in fact exist

    Walking out of a the largest EDM festival held in the Nordics, I saw a guy standing in the stairs in a morphsuit (basically whole body skintight suit, head and all), prominently displaying much like the man in the comic, sans the strip.

    I just had to walk up to him, smile, and give a few very gentle squeezes.

    He returned the favour.

    'Twas a pleasant interaction. No homo.

    Again, quit being so ethnocentric.

    The reason that Europe is yet to be fucked as bad as the US is that we still have prominent leftist parties who actually do further leftist agenda.

    I can reject cookies when I visit websites. Thanks lefties.

    I don’t have to pay for my medications or doctors. Well, at most like a few hundred. At most. And if you don’t make any money, you don’t have to, social security will take care of your bills.

    What has the right done, on the other hand? Taken away free dental care from under 18’s, massively fucked the dental for adults as well, mostly privatised it. Similar attempts with other systems.

    So if one is actively seeking to make my life worse by not caring a single bit about the consequences of their policies, and the other is attempting to drive through policies which would counter said privatisation, and also have attempts to help the general populace, then yeah, I know who I’m voting for.

    Luckily I don’t live in a silly two-party system, although partisan systems in general are kind of dumb in my opinion, even the multi-party ones. But that’s a step too far to discuss with someone used to North-American politics, I think. I mean granted Canada isn’t a two-party system but in practice it is closer to the US as a system than most European governments.

    And let’s just skip over the whole part where your spreading of apathy is playing directly into the pocket of the right wing American parties and thus serving the Russian agenda.

    ineffective the left are at capturing any of the population. It’s dead in

    In North America.

    I think your sense of politics on a national level, is massively dirtied by your southern neighbour.

    The left isn’t ineffective. Most people definitely know and favour leftist policies if you go ask them. Only some weird right wingers wouldn’t agree that it’s the government’s job to help it’s people.

    So because there’s no good talking points on the right, the current propaganda is “don’t even support the left, they won’t achieve shit”. As is sowing apathy. Apathy is the single greatest tool an oppressor could wield. When people don’t believe change is possible, no-one does anything about it. “why bother” they say “it won’t work anyway”.

    You can’t know until you try. I know I’m too guilty of this as well. But realising something and being able to not be affected by it are two different things.

    The left can’t bother to do much beyond tell others to disengage and not work too hard.

    You’re American, aren’t you?

    You do know that in the US, roughly one people out of 10 are literal millionaires, yet your major cities still have huge homeless populations (whom most have jobs by the way, some homeless people working several jobs) and literal shit on the street.

    Say what you want about the Nordic model but it’s definitely much further left than whatever bullshit America is doing.

    And we’re doing pretty okay. We have no human shit on our streets. Can you say the same?




  • Russian strategy was exactly to perpetuate the idea eveyone hates Democrats and to vote third party or to not vote at all “to protest the system”.

    You’re literally propagating Russian propaganda. It doesn’t even matter if it’s true. The fact is that it’s well known and documented that that is exactly what the Russians kept chanting when they managed to influence the American elections.

    So gz either you’re brainwashed by Russians or you’re actually one. Idk which one is more shameful tbh





  • Posting something “as a joke” makes the propaganda less propaganda?

    That’s how things are spread. Ofc eveyone will pretend not to take this seriously. But despite you pretending I can’t understand what “Not the onion” posts are about, we’re probably gonna end this with you avoiding answering me to why Russia has committed so many crimes against humanity.

    First you’ll pretend not to know what I’m talking about and “how does that even” or some annyoing bullshit I’ve seen a million times.

    Just like Davel@lemmy.ml claims to be an American while clearly being Russian, just like MicroWave pretends he’s an actual user and not a pathetic propaganda shill, you’ll pretend something along those lines as well, I’m guessing.

    Click link, go to “anthropocentrism”.

    Bro I can believe people are smarter than other animals and still not believe we’re the best or most valuable or worthiest or anything like that.

    I know dogs are not as smart as me, but they’re sure as fuck better people than me.
