she also looks like the “liberal” purple haired girl they told us they hated so much.

typical right-wing mindset is pretty simple. is she hot? if yes, she gets a lot of views, no matter what her hair color is.

All of the smart people on his team are in bed with Russia.

The thing is that Trump himself was apparently in bed with russia … sort of. At least i remember reading him sleeping with 14yo russian girls (via epstein). they literally did empire marriage.

Wow that’s interesting!

The book emphasizes that Russia must spread geopolitical anti-Americanism everywhere: “the main ‘scapegoat’ will be precisely the U.S.”

Wait a moment … blaming the US … that’s what a lot of people here on Lemmy do, does that mean we’re influenced by russian propaganda?

Reminds me of this:

Replace Chinese with Russian

tbf i think it should drop by sth like 90%.

the opposite is the case: if the Dollar drops significantly, it makes exports more desirable and that creates jobs in the US.

The thing is that the Dollar needs to lose credibility to weaken Trump. He can just print arbitrary amounts of money; this needs to end. Fiat currency needs to end. There should be sth like a gold standard again.

that’s a good idea as well! might consider that.

I want to set up a Lemmy server too (currently still deciding between Lemmy and PieFed) to host some basic content that we create at a university group with the public. It’s more like a blog than anything else, at least as envisioned. I’d also like to add some cool features to it like auto-posting (i.e. we have a bot that automatically uploads certain posts).

there’s not gonna be a peer-reviewed article on comment sentiments in lemmy comments

or is there?

For me it’s not so much supporting the Iranian regime but seriously doubting whether any outside interference will actually help the people. Because when has it ever done so?

but they’re a different kind of insane /hj

perfect time to advertise the fediverse software :)

time to purchase stocks again once the tariffs inevitably make the market crash

America is doing this of its own volition. They can’t blame everything on Putin.

but then americans would have to admit that america’s not the savior of the world and they can’t accept that.

apt is the one true software/games library for me

You know i really have been thinking somebody should make a Dungeons and Dragons Luanti Modpack. With an AI dungeonmaster. And maybe you can have dynamic dialogues with NPCs or sth.

wait, it’s minecraft all over again?

lol

Calling him a “genius” is overdoing it, i think. He just interpreted the signals of the time, before anyone else did. He guessed correctly that the west is too fractured and weak to defend Ukraine.
