The Donald vs Big Tech

[Mooncat]

The levels of narcissism are something else. Are we seeing the begining of the end of relative global stability in the west? Hopefully Trump will prove to be a strange blip in history, but maybe we are in for nothing but blatant lunacy and absurdity from now on.

He's going full North Korean dictator mode. It honestly feels like we're only a few steps away from every city having huge banners hanging down the side of buildings with his face on them and "some animals are more equal than others" written underneath.

He has already made his first term seem quite rational and harmless. Quite an exceptional performance from the big lad. The ability of the MAGAns to still think there are some scraps in it for them is almost beautiful.

Doubtful that Trump is a blip when he's merely the useful idiot being played by the folks behind Project 2025, and the likes of Stephen Miller (who's a straight up psychopath).

I'm not for the death penalty but the Ceaușescu treatment is beyond due here for a whole gang of these lunatics

His wikipedia entry is basically a novel amounting to him being an absolute cunt since he was a child

If the Democrats weren't utterly useless pricks, they'd have mobilized the decent half of the citizenry into a general strike by now. It really is the only potential way of stopping the MAGA project: forcing the nation to a grinding halt.

[Pat Twisted Wrath]

Since the Taft-Harley Act, General Strikes are pretty much illegal in the US. One if the many fine anti-labour moments in that fine nation's history.

The Democrats will happily do FUCK ALL in the hopes it'll all just work itself out.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yup all true.

White House using AI to alter photos then posting them as real. Now seriously, where did that skin-tight Skyforger top-wearing mook who loved calling the left Stalinists get to...!?

Jesus christ. Is it more depressing that they are trying shit like that, that they think it'll work or that it actually will work?

[Pat Twisted Wrath]

That fresh ICE murder is grim viewing. Mental to see the Administration come straight out and completely lie about what happened. They surely know all these events are filmed from multiple angles much like the Renee Goode murder.

If there was any ambiguity with the Goode murder (and really there wasnt), this one is as clear cut as it gets. He is wrestled to the ground, a gun is pulled from under his jacket by the ICE agent, and ONLY THEN once he is disarmed is he shot multiple times on the ground. Crazy shit.

[Bürggermeister]

Wild west justice, just like they've glorified in movies for decades. 10 shots, I read, into a restrained and unarmed man on the ground? Land of the free, indeed.

[Ducky]

On the ground, and in the back. Straight up execution.

[Bürggermeister]

The inaction is the troubling part. You put untrained thugs of questionable motivation into positions of power and this kind of thing is inevitable, as history has taught us countless times. It's the lack of any real protest in other states, though, no coordinated political or civic reaction, which suggests the true level of how fucked this situation is and how painful the next three years, and the consequences of these years, will be.

[Eoin McLove]

Fucking unbelievable stuff.
