    Versions of them are here already. Their focus right now is to:

    • start violence at protests, especially around LA and target cities like NY, Seattle, Chicago, etc.
    • seed doubt in anything related to the republican agendas or what they have done. Usually starts with, “I hate trump like the rest of us, but…” or something like that.
    • downvote the shit out of people that call anything like the above out. They’ll come in later, one by one, to do this.

    They usually congregate over the weekend and during or right after major events (like the protest). Watch for them this weekend or stay away from Lemmy. If you watch for it, downvote them and upvote the people fighting them, but most of all, take what everyone says with a grain of salt.

      this is usually when I would say something conceited like “lol glad I don’t live in the US” but then I realise that I’m just as fucked as the rest of the world and we don’t have a future

      hopefully microplastics will invade my colon/heart/kidneys/liver/brain soon and remove me from this living nightmare, I can’t deal with this shit anymore

        Yeah, unfortunately they’ll target anyone they can. Brexit wasn’t even a law, it was a general, “Hey, how do you feel about brexiting?” Then they went full hog into, “You voted for it!” They do it with Ukraine/Russia, or anything they feel like targeting.

        World disorder that benefits the billionaires seems to be the goal. I’ll never understand why they want to live in a world like that. Raising all boats makes a much more fun world. Who will they hire if we’re in a dystopian landscape, when everyone wants to get you because they have nothing to lose?

        Take care of your mental health man. Find peace in the little things in life.

          Billionaires are pathologically selfish, often it seems with actual personality disorders that make them unable to understand a world of mutual support and sharing, or to appreciate how much they benefit from others’ support. Unfortunately we let these people become far too powerful.

            Yep. Enough so, that unelected Musk could walk into any government building and do what he wanted.

          it’s sociopaths who lack empathy. And that leaves them behaving like capuchins. The one on the left is upset at the unfairness. But the one on the right doesn’t care at all. It just keeps taking its unfair advantage.
