He’s partially right.

Unfortunately, I think the bigger issue is that a majority of Americans are fascists or indifferent to fascism.

“But are there not many fascists in your country?"

"There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the times comes.”

We’ll see if any of that comes to fruition, or is allowed to do so by the fascists just put into power, unlike the last thousand times the far-right in a country has won elections.

Turns out they didn’t know something we didn’t.

Hogan was very popular in the state. If Trump wasn’t on the ballot, it might have been competitive.

In terms of target, certainly, but in terms of “Is using Starship Troopers bad?”, not really. It’d be one thing if it was obscure, or wasn’t a long-established meme, but it’s… not. “It’s afraid” as an image response was kicking around back when I was in highschool on php forums. It’s just part of the meme lexicon at this point.

“It’s afraid” is a longstanding meme from Starship Troopers.

You definitely won’t wake up to a Harris win, unless you sleep for 24 hours or more. Voting is just about to start. Won’t end 'til tonight.

Let’s be real - they were always voting Trump.

Hah, it is awfully auspicious that I posted that not long ago, huh? Quocumque nomine…

You’ll see me in line. Limping my ass down to my assign polling place and filling out the ballot there. Hail Mary, Full of Grace.

I wonder if Jupiter is still accepting sacrifices…?

I’ve tried occupying myself this whole time. I actually managed it. Just a sense of dread in the back of my head, no active, debilitating terror. But it’s falling apart now that everything’s so close. It was easy to kill when the election was far, and I could see it abstractly. But now it’s here, and I don’t have enough faith in my fellow Americans to be confident. I’m glad Harris’s team is, I just hope it means something.

I just want to not wake up in a fascist regime.

God, that would almost make the next 36 hours or so worth it.

Almost.

Anyone have any general anesthetic I can borrow?

Too poor for recreational drugs. And too medicated. I’m afraid all I have is exhaustion, paranoia, anxiety, and terror for the next 36 hours or so.

I might advise not downing an entire pound-and-a-half jar of spaghetti sauce in one go.

If they were so inept as it’s said, Ukraine wouldn’t perceive them as this big of a ‘Help us ASAP stop them from reaching’ threat.

10,000 warm bodies is 10,000 warm bodies. Or have you forgotten how Storm-Z units went?

And since when is recognising the military power of an army simping for fascism?

When it’s oriented around dismissal of the flaws of a military because it’s one of the commenter’s favorite fascist regimes? MLs are pretty predictable.

“There was aways a little glimmer of hope that maybe he’d find a wonderful Christian girl and get married,” she says. “I was grieving when they said their vows. But I was also joyfully crying. I was grieving for my dream of what I wanted for my son, but also joyful that my son doesn’t have to do life alone anymore and he found someone who cares and loves him.”

Very touching

Nah. Space Force is looking to justify itself. Not that there’s no risk here, but even just getting things into space remains far more expensive than any military value it could provide - not even getting into diplomatic issues of militarizing space.

? I was told right here on Lemmy that the NK soldiers are functionally useless, tactically inept, slowing down the Russian troops, have never seen anything with a transistor before, and are supplying shells with 80% misfire rates?

What part of “Let us stop the North Korean troops before they see the battlefield” contradicts that?

Or are you just looking to simp for fascists, as usual?

Saving our dumb collective ass again. As usual in elections at least within my fucking lifetime, women and ethnic minorities prove that they understand the values of America better than the ultra-fragile white conservative men who think they own this place by virtual of sex and race.

Artists require an audience if they’re going to share their work - otherwise we might as well just hang our works up on our fridge and be done with it.

Lemmy is a very small audience at present.
