Americans are weird. Four years ago, Trump lost the election and he was dumped from Twitter in a heartbeat. Enters Musk and buys Twitter, baptizes it as X. Somehow, Musk achieved the unachievable. No, he didn’t make Twitter profitable, he makes it even shittier. Trump gets back to X. Presidential elections happen. Trump wins in a landslide. Bluesky arises. Now Democrats have their own social media club and Republicans, conservative minds, stay in X. Really, if the USA won’t change their electoral system it could separate into two or three different countries at this point.

Except, for now, they will unite against Mexico, Iran and China.

If this is shitposting, I don’t understand what is shitposting anymore.

It’s weird. In general, in the greentext community I just reply something stupid and move on. You guys are commenting what seems serious, at the same time there are a lot of people commenting about how we should have gone nuclear, etc. Now, I don’t know if you’re being serious or you are trolling as I would with a less apocalyptic topic.

There, feels like I made it.

How do you people propose to call them? Expansionists? Colonialists? Genocidists?

I hope some of them come to the Fediverse. It’s nice that only the curious ones will come.

I thought we were gonna be so serious and politically correct. I’m glad not all of us were.

Nah, it’s cool. I just took the opportunity for a PSA.

BTW, and now that we are doing this, dandruff is not a sign of lack of hygiene. It is a common symptom of skin conditions like dermatitis. I don’t like to recommend subreddits in Lemmy, but take a look at r/sebderm and read a couple of threads there. Fortunately, most people don’t know it, but a chronical skin condition can get you suicidal.

Anon needs a sight of the long game.

It’s called History. Give it a try. Having a crazy amount of weapons did and didn’t help you before, so it won’t always give you the edge. History, though, always helps. By the way, this country is still called Mexico, which is a Nahuatl name, Nahuatl is also called “Mexicano”, which was the language most people talked before the “drunk conquistadores” came to this land. Maybe we Mexicans did leveled up the tech after all, it just looks like that for a childish country mentality.

Republicans won’t allow it. They win when people don’t vote, it’s a fact. They now dominate the legislative, so you can forget about it.

The real solution is to raise the interest of people in politics. Look at the south.

You just gotta fight back and live your life. Sounds simple, but in my country, we lived through “the perfect dictatorship”. We know this shit.

You’d probably like Paul’s Boutique by the Beastie Boys. You may also wanna try Nujabe’s Modal Soul.

Recalled this case that is getting public attention in Mexico. Queretaro, a state in the Bajio region of Mexico known by its conservative ideas, is using their attorneys to try to make a 14 yo child to pay 26,000 USD in damage repair to her rapist, because she suffered a miscarriage. The state attorneys also demand her to go to prison for three years.

Publicly, and in the media, the girl is known as “Esmeralda”. I’m sorry I couldn’t find a note in English about this case to link. The thing in common between both situations is a corrupted institution that’s supposed to protect the people.

Okay, then.

They are forced. They fight against the Ukrainian Army for their survival, because being drafted means they will probably die at this point. If they could keep avoiding the army, they would probably survive until this madness ends.

You can have your side on this and think Ukraine is fighting for survival, but that’s a point of view, an idea. Some facts are:

1. Ukraine is currently loosing this war. It’s even territorial.
2. Ukraine is loosing support from their allies. And if Trump wins, which is somehow plausible, they’d be practically alone.
3. Recently drafted citizens are just that, they are not soldiers. With their morale, they probably aren’t even fighters.
4. A good chunk of the remaining Ukrainian people don’t want to fight no more.
5. Drafting more inexperienced citizens will at best slow down the course of the current events.

Argument: War is almost lost. People are finite.

It also sounds like “malo” in Spanish which means “bad”.

It’s clearly a giant.

You should also take into account the animosity against lemmy.ml in general from some instances and communities. Something to do with the moderation here or something else.
