Yeah, it's not easy to ignore when the US goverment starts sending people to concentration camps and being anti-american.
Can't just bury your head in the sand and say you don't care about politics, because then changes will come as a surprise
" why did I get laid off without severance? oh, they rolled back labor laws.
At least I have welfare as I search for a job... oh, they took that too.
Well, next elections I'll be voting against them. Wdym Trump is on his third term and planning a fourth one?
Why are ICE officers taking me to a plane, without due process, claiming I'm being anti-patriotic?) "
While true, not all Lemmy is american.
Yep, that's on me. I'm just used to talk to americans when I'm met with a "I don't care about politics"
Yeah, that "I don't care about politics is what brought them there in the first place", but they will never acknowledge that, instead they will just double down on their aggressive apatheism.
Sounds like their problem, not mine. They voted for it, I wouldn't expect you to care much about British internal politics either.
While Musk and Trump were doing their thing in the US, Musk was also trying to prop certain parties around europe. Reform (UK), AfD (Germany), Vox (Spain), Lega (Italy) Their internal politics are similar to that of Germany before WW2, plus their external politics are: pulling from NATO, stopping the funding that goes to the CVE, threatening annexation of allies... so I wouldn't be surprised if internal politics are indicative of following the path of Germany.
If UK were actively threatening allies, saying they won't support NATO countries if they are attacked, and one of thekr citizes was close to the PM and was also trying to sway elections in the rest of europe, I'd be as concerned as you internal politics to see where you wpuld be going.
You had no problem ignoring it for decades previously.
Please, enlighten me about how it is as bad now as it was before, and not even worse.
"Yeah, they are sending random innocent citizens to concentration camps in mass now, but you didn't care about it when it was certain specific innocent people to Guantanamo so you shouldn't care about this either"
Sounds like someone who would say "all parties are the same" or "I didn't want to vote for Kamala because the dems supported Israel"
Because foreign lives actually are worth just as American ones.
Yeah, who said otherwise?? The problem is that it's being done en mass now, not that it's american lives per se. Yeah, it was a problem already, but it became a bigger problem now. You can't ignore that.
It was being en mass before. The only difference is that now it's effecting (non African) Americans.
Sure bro
Americans when they realize they're wrong, but are to much arrogance pieces of shit to admit it.
I'm not American, so it tracks.
Anyways, care to link to sources about the en masse concentration camps already existing before this admin?

Interesting, thank you, I stand corrected
👍
So much of what people are horrified by Trump doing was also happening under previous administrations, the MAGA lot are just too incompetent to do it subtly.
I can actually and science proves it's better for mental health.
Not wanting to follow donald ducks disastrous adventures isn't burying your head in the sand IMO.
