The number of people around Lemmy who are making egregious stretches in an attempt to draw comparisons is astounding.
If this were Reddit, I’d assume it was astroturfing.

Did you miss the whole republicans rigging elections bit, or the whole oligarchy seizing control of the democratic party and running it as a controlled opposition constitutionally weak and unwilling to challenge the degeneration into fascism?
It’s not different, not anymore. Because enough people trusted the democrats, and still do, to run opposition, we are on the cusp of losing what is still honest in our elections. ie, I wouldn’t assume the president outperforming poll numbers is all the fault of the pollsters, given the party’s open fixing of elections.
Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president. That is the second highest vote total in U.S. history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020. Trump won 3,059,799 more popular votes in 2024 than he won in 2020 and 14,299,293 more than he won in 2016.
Also Americans: It was rigged! It was rigged!
It’s quite clear the imagination of people on the left is strong enough to imagine a right wing style elite lizard people are controlling the world narrative than accept that more people liked Trump than Kamala
You don’t have universal healthcare because your population keeps voting against it, you have so much money going to your military and keep having wars because you keep voting for it (or not showing up to vote)
I just love this community, all morally indignant about this as we actively, offensively, target their civilians.

That’s just stupid. If we were doing that, or if Iran was doing that, the deaths would be so, so much higher. Just to be clear, if/when I can leave this fucking country I will.
By all means, tear down the illusory veil of peace, just as the US has. A rotten situation all around. Targeting oil infrastructure makes sense, strategically, but what does this accomplish?
Anyways, Fuck the Epstein Class. May they all perish at the hands of “Our Lord ” and burn in “Eternal Hellfire”.
How many feathers can they pluck from the proletariat before the Hen rears its head and starts pecking? When will the Cock bear its claws?
The Hen and Cock will soon be naked and bereft of their identity, cold and shivering and scared, reduced to nothing more than sentient bags of flesh and bone, dwarfed by the imposing and seemingly insurmountable stature of the plucker.
In an absence of feathers, flesh is taken.
It hurts. Tremendously.
And soon the Hen and Cock will die together, and they’ll have their insides outside, and they’ll be ground up and eaten, turned to shit.
Shit is inert. Unmoving, unconscious, and utterly incapable.
Could the Hen and Cock have saved themselves, had they a means to defy their innate and learned conditioning?
Hens and Cocks can’t do that.
I say this typing from my phone.
One thing that’s cool about technology is that it lets us operate outside our evolutionary and imparted constraints. Fuck you, multiplication tables. Fuck you, cable news. Fuck you, school system. I have the means to multiply, I have the means to teleport across the globe and see it all firsthand; I have the entire world and the history of Humanity’s entire bloodline in cusp of my fucking hand.
And yet I am still constrained by this bag of flesh. I am flawed, an addict, a slave to The Entertainment, not even a cock, just an ant that moves numbers instead of dirt.
The more this crap goes on, the more I think we need to replace wars with putting the leaders into deathmatch fights. Want to destroy the others so bad? Sure, go ahead. The fights go on until all sides select a leader who's willing to use diplomacy instead of nukes and bombs and such.
Let those who really want to fight, fight it out, and not send men and women who don't want war, to die for them.

I’d love this to work, but unfortunately it seems the nature of war is more to act as a collective burden/punishment instead of actual dispute resolution. I guess it’s just a shitty way to have a temper tantrum that coincidentally involves countless millions of citizens who never wanted war in the first place on all sides.
Well, if only people held their elected leaders responsible... problem is, people in power will always try to use that power to shield themselves from the repercussions of their actions.

I feel like that’s a good way to pull in American Allies.
Oil, you forget that they have oil
Edit: they are also the only current source of Persian Gulf oil
good to see what iran has been spending money on all these years instead of it’s citizens
Same could be said of the US.
iran is a dictatorship though that brutally kills 10’s of thousands of people, hangs and executes anyone who attempts to change
America just needs to vote…

This calls for another Iranian Public Execution!
