Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ah yes, laughing at the lower class dying will surely teach the billionaires and millionaires a valuable lesson.
You do realize that's what you're doing, right? Laughing at the poor dying, the same thing that the polluting billionaires and millionaires in the US are doing?
Let me really spell it out for you: the polluters of the US (and world) are not the ones without A/C, and they're not the ones that will suffer from lack of food due to drought. No, they will just come to your country once they've extracted the resources in the US, and laugh at you dying. Just like they're doing to the lower class in the US.
Some of them have already moved. Hope you're ready, and not just laughing at people dying.
You're not understanding. The right people are getting hurt.
This begs the question of just who you think is being hurt.
I was assuming the mind of op
I might be misinterpreting it, but I read their comment as a criticism of that attitude due to the association of that phrase (‘the right people’ getting hurt) with MAGAs
They did a piss poor job of communicating that. It reads as if they're cheering on all Americans dying.
Which is not an uncommon view on Lemmy let's be real.
The OP for sure, the person talking about the right people being hurt reads to me as satire. But tone is hard and I can always be wrong!
Nope you were right, and I'll take 50% readability. I'm not going to stomp over my own joke with an /s I was sure the italics would get that done
Again, the viewpoint that all US citizens should be killed is not uncommon here. I appreciate not wanting to use the /s though, it can be annoying when your tone isn't well conveyed through text when you think it is.
Yeah a well placed /s or something would have gone a long way on that comment lol
That's what the italics were for, you win some and lose some
Nope just jokes
