No lol

Socialism is… When you own your own home??

Your whataboutism can’t deflect the fact that the US policy on COVID put the prerogatives of capital ahead of public health, doing the most half-assed lockdown procedures without contact tracing, pretty much guaranteeing that this apex predator would continue to stalk the streets and mutate indefinitely, enabling mass social murder on a historical scale, pushing the most precarious workers back into contact with the public to get sick over and over, pushing kids back to school without vaccinations under the pretext that they were low risk (false), allowing infections to rebound through the population endlessly through the vectors of families, workplaces, and schools.

We’re now at the point where the most at-risk, especially the immune compromised, continue to die quietly in the background while the country’s leadership declares the state of emergency to be over. Officially over a million dead here and it’s sure to be a mass underestimation because states are no longer reporting, and regardless it’s a major risk factor of other diseases, especially cardial, one of which claimed one of my closest family members after they caught COVID multiple times before being vaccinated despite performing all these supposed protocols to the extreme (doesn’t matter how much you isolate if the workers delivering your groceries bring the virus with them).

Oh yeah and, the pandemic never went away, “endemic” is a weasel word that really means “the weak shall suffer what they must,” hardly a word about long COVID in the media any more even though we don’t yet understand its full extent. US COVID policy amounts to enabling a mass death and disability event. Guess our burgers and haircuts are more important than the lives of the elderly and immune compromised. America’s COVID policy is neglect and eugenics with more steps. As for North Korea, who’s deranged enough to give a fuck about their supposed lack of protocols (also false) when the real disaster is still unfolding all around us?

Just to piss people off and get them to waste their time basically

Sounds more like North America

How’s about this one: verbal abuse is acceptable if money, revenue, and/or a managerial hierarchy are involved! Thanks, capitalism!!

Lmao : 🤣

No u r the chatbot. In fact, everyone with a differing opinion from mine is a chatbot. Which means everyone, because even in the echo chamber like the one you want to inhabit there will be disagreements. In fact, pretty much everyone has at least one opinion that contradicts another, so by your logic, everyone is a chatbot! Including me oh shi

your own instance where only people with brains as smooth as bowling balls are allowed

Perfect response honestly

Lmao, I knew someone would say that. Did I say that?

Sir, my main concerns are how to pay my rent and set up my career in the near future. I just got done doing some research on what kinds of mask to wear at my job to protect from the occupational hazard known as air pollution from diesel engine exhaust. I do not sit idly doing research on trans, bigot acceptance, or gay jokes, or whatever nonsense your liberal media is telling you to fixate on. Are you sure you’re not the one who needs to live in real life?

Sir, I read the news every day and I checked the news just now, and I see news about the Niger coup, the Amazon climate summit, cluster munitions being deployed in Donetsk, and something about a soccer championship. Nothing about accepting gay. No jokes either, just serious business. Where are you getting your news from?

No idk what you’re talking about, I’ve never encountered that in my life, are you okay dude?

So Chinese bots are on lemmy too now.

Amazing how comfortable you are being racist on a public forum.

Anyway, people should look at this map and take note of how far Taiwan’s ADIZ extends into Fujian province of mainland China and the open ocean (which is the southwest corner the PRC’s airplanes were supposedly encroaching on). These articles are obviously published to make China seem more aggressive than it really is. Meanwhile the US, with the most powerful navy in the world, parades its warships through the Taiwan strait, which for some reason is not seen as a threat or provocation. Also Taiwan claims the mainland as its own territory. Oh, poor little Taiwan. Lol, get off it.

San Diego?

wokeness

What does that mean?
