it might be worse in terms of brutality against police.

Oh noooo…anyway

Low effort, brain dead take

This fight is about us taking from the rich, not from each other.

Beautiful stated, cutting right to the heart of the matter.

Its been a few years since I checked, but as of 2015 at least the US, which is 5% of the world’s population, give or take a few, had over 25% of the world’s prison population. Total. Fucking. Insanity

Yeah, they’re morons, but nowhere there do they claim they “defeated covid.” What their statement implies is that they (in this case incorrectly) believed this event was not likely to be a spreader event due to overall lower numbers and impacts of covid nationally compared to 4 years ago. It does not imply that “they” specifically “defeated covid”, that’s clearly a feelings-driven logical leap on your part.

Who claimed “they defeated [covid]”?

It’s a spammer with a hard on against mbfc who has been posting shit “memes” across different instances. Best to block and ignore whenever you see an alt pop up

With zero evidence, other than having watched their crusade against mbfc over this past week, this feels like a weird alt by /u/CaliforniaKove who has been spamming everything with anti-mbfc posts recently

It’s the later. As the other user pointed out, lemmy.ml censors vulgar language by default

Lovely - mods are removing all comments that are pointing out that /u/CaliforniaKove has been spamming multiple instances with the same agenda for days now. I’m guessing pointing out spam and voicing disagreement is not allowed? Better yet, they’re citing community Rule 2, which has to do with reposts and in no way applies to the removed comments. Unless they mean to cite Rule 2 of lemmy.ml, which is also absurd imo considering the shit that regularly gets posted on the instance (of which I’m a member). Normally I don’t removed about getting comments removed, but not allowing people to express frustration with actual spammers, and removing their comments citing an anti-spam rule, is fucked up and smells of agenda pushing vs. actual moderation.

Fair. I meant more that we should do away with the term as it’s a propagandized and charged term

I’m baitin’

Leader of the western, capitalist, corpo-military complex sure…but “leader of the free world” is a bit hyperbolic no?

Delightful! The second half took a turn. I will say though, was not expecting the tooth fairy to catch strays hah

The research cost recovery line they often yap about is bullshit itself though. The overwhelming majority of pharma research like the one involved here is subsidized through taxpayer dollars already, and they get tax incentives and write offs for failed research. If we had a sane, working government we could nationalize all life saving medications funded by public money while still allowing the inventors to enjoy some (reasonable) economic benefits from the research

The Doctor has killed many an enemy when they’ve made it clear they would not change and would not stop.

OP is trying to imply that women are paid less then men because they’re unwilling to put themselves on the line in tough situations - the woman is ducking in the back while the man is covering Trump out front.

It’s a sad attempt at being edgy

I’ve found Thunder to be a great replacement with some modern, gesture and UX friendly enhancements. Raccoon for Lemmy is pure magic and I highly recommend it as well, but the UX and UI are more modern and has less of that RIF, old-school forum thread scroller vibe.
