I like the X on top of the bird. Nice

I unintentionally did this once. I still feel bad about it 7 years later. But hey, I won.

Also people who didn't vote at all, are at minimum fine with Trump and not against him.

Where does the believe even originate from, that Redditors are any different than Lemmings? Basically the same people minus the youngest, because they stick with using Reddit. They might or might not migrate eventually.

Make communities here bigger by contributing and spread the word of Reddit alternative. Make search engines find Lemmy content and then it goes on it's own. I guess Bluesky will push the Fediverse, but I wonder how long people will stick to a Twitter esque when they could have Lemmy full text conversations and tree structures?

Politician hardly talk to the crowd with direct words, because it requires a level of nationalism and populism to still be convincing. A lot of solutions aren't nice to the common folks. Take taxes for instance, most don't like paying them. And if there are hard times and there's just one person who promises you a better life, it's compelling to follow. Hitler had a certain way of talking that made you feel emotions, in a time of desperation. And he promised solutions by declaring enemies.

Not to start with US politics here, but you can certainly look at how Trump talks and you see the same playbook. The same similarities. The same way of seeking for an enemy and also the false promises. Others talk like him too, but this is so recent.

I fully agree. So much sadness, seeing the uninformed, doing the same mistakes we warn for every day. It's depressing, because even if you try to look at the brighter side and at the larger part of people who are kind and anti fascism. To know that group dynamics could destroy all of this in a year. Humans are capable of the worst, even when they believe in acting in good faith. Truth is, we humans are too easily manipulated and fear of isolation when standing up to the crowd makes people cowards. What is "good" is sadly just a matter of perspective and not even a question about quantity. When times get dire, the people will follow the easy solution.

You don't have to be able nor smart, to destroy.

I want more of this. Reminds me on the anime Darker than Black, where those with power always had to fulfill some contract to use their power, else they'd die.

Marketing ruining it for themselves. Good job.

Evil ones will.

That's actually not too crazy of an idea. A large part of land is mined and basically unusable for a long while and modern nukes are way less and way shorter radioactive. Blasting away a large part of Russian soldiers at once would send a big message.
