I’m giving up on Lemmy. Too many toxic users. Too many bad mods who fail to remove the toxicity. And toxicity seems to be part of the culture here, judging from how everyone acts like it’s normal. Also, why is everyone a programmer?

    Yeah yeah. “People who call out racism are the real racists.” That’s the standard response of white people.

    Everytime someone calls a white person racist, they get accused of being racist against white people. It doesn’t matter how clearly racist the white person is. (And that’s why non-white people are afraid to call out racism.)

    I’ve known so many racist old guys just like Biden. If you don’t, you’re either young or you’re not American.

    Also, I like how you assumed I’m not white.



  • He’s an old white American. Assuming that he’s racist should be the default assumption until and unless he demonstrates that he’s not racist.

    And he has not demonstrated that. He has gone out of his way to fund and supply a genocide of brown people, despite the electoral damage it’s doing to his party.

    Occam’s fucking razor.

    It doesn’t matter what I think. He’ll go down in history as a racist monster, and so will all of his defenders.



  • Downvote all you want, you know I’m right.

    He was born in 1942. He probably thinks white people are the world’s civilizing force, and the Palestinians are getting what they deserve for refusing to accept their white colonialist masters.

    He probably thinks third-world countries “aren’t real countries”, but he has to pretend otherwise because of “political correctness”.

    He probably thinks Israel isn’t bombing the Palestinians fast enough, and complains to Bibi that America could do it faster.

    If he thought anything else, he would be unusual for his age.

    I upvoted after reading the first couple sentences because I already know Biden is a racist.

    I know Biden is a racist because there’s no way he’d do to any white people what he’s doing to the Palestinians.

    The Palestinians will never, ever, ever get the kind of sympathy the Ukrainians are getting, because the Palestinians aren’t white.




  • My family floated between working poor and middle class. My parents were divorced, and neither has a college degree. As is the case with many American families far from the Acela corridor, my mom’s yearly income determined if I would live in a house, apartment, or mobile home, if I would attend decent schools or the worst in town.

    My family background is messy. But there was one constant: Many of my family members are proud construction workers and lifelong union members.

    This woman’s story is a lot like my own. My dad was a construction worker and a proud union member. Neither of my parents went to college. (My dad didn’t even finish high school.) Work came and went, and there were times we lived in a house, times we lived in an apartment, and times we lived in a trailer. I changed school eight times.

    And I’ve seen the way the Democrats lost people like my father (who became a Fox News-watching Trump fan).

    A lot of it isn’t even about any specific policy. It’s a persistent feeling that the Democrats aren’t speaking to us. That they don’t care about us. That they look down on us. We don’t factor into their messaging anymore, and on a personal level, they think we’re dumb hicks.

    But it’s not a new thing. I’m 20 years older than her, and I went through the same disillusionment she did.

    I hope she joined her local Communist party.










  • You’re misunderstanding the situation.

    We’re not asking Kamala to get involved in a foreign war. We’re asking Kamala to end the US’s involvement in a foreign war.

    I know it’s confusing, because Biden and Harris keep talking as if they’re doing all they can to stop the fighting. But the truth is, Biden and Harris are the ones providing the weapons.

    but shouldn’t we be more worried about the terrorists on our home soil before fighting foreign lands

    Probably, which is why Harris should stop giving weapons and billions of dollars of war funding to Israel.

    And the worst part is: I STILL don’t know who the bad guy is. Israel? Palestine?

    Again, I understand your confusion, because Biden and Harris keep talking about the need to protect Israel. But Israel is the one carrying out a genocide of innocent civilians (with US support).
