I found this interaction so wholesome. Bless you two.

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Bless you too! Lol

Hope you have a lovely day :)

[-] phx@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yup. The most familiar use of the term (for me) is a soft bullet that impacts a target, rapidly going from a cylindrical/point to a flattened out mushroom-head.

It's also why soft hunting ammo isn't supposed to be used against humans as it creates cavity wounds that it can't be extracted from like "hard ammo"

To be fair there was a lot just do to his stupid soviet style parade to begin with. Impressive that this late in the game he can piss of americans even more.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

This late? It hasn't even been a year yet.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

he does a lot of things that piss people off. I just mean its amazing how he can keep topping himself in nastiness.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 weeks ago

Quite a few in red states. Makes we wonder where those people were in November. That or something was wrong with the count.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 weeks ago

There are red voters in blue states, and blue voters in red states. There's a reason for the whole "divided we fall" thing, and a lot of the rhetoric about abandoning red states is fostered to divide us further.

It's so stupid to watch people engage in it, because state lines are arbitrary lines on the ground, but people even on Lemmy love to say "no war but class war" and then immediately abandon leftists in red states.

Look at Tennessee. Yes, Trump received 1,966,865 votes. But Harris received 1,056,265.

Those 1 million people don't stop existing just because everyone is focusing on the 2.

We have a lot of purity testing and tankies on outside. I empathize with the passion, but its also deeply unserious in making material progress.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It’s the big reason why most hardcore pseudo leftists like tankies are just another flavor of authoritarian politics like the Khmer Rouge or Maoism but with a leftist spin instead of a right one.

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

There are more Republicans in California than Texas and more Democrats in Texas than New York.

[-] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

to be a red state the "majority" of 50.1% is enough

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

That would be a purple state, you need a strong majority with 53-55+% to be red. Otherwise you're a swing state.

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Whats the signifigance of the red star cities?

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

“The address of this event is private”

…wat. That’s not how protests work.

[-] Tangerine@50501.chat 8 points 2 weeks ago

Unfortunately some have it hidden, not sure of their motivation in doing that (to keep the police from knowing where it'll be?) but hopefully it doesn't dampen the turnout too much.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago

Interesting that they don't have share on Mastodon links.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Sorry to be a wet blanket here but what does it matter? He's already in power with his grubby little hands. Even if we knew 100% that it was faked, it wouldn't change anything. Literally nothing would change.

Edit: down vote me if you want, but you know I'm right. No court will remove him at this point. It's over until...

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 34 points 2 weeks ago

Civil unrest led to the good friday agreement, governments can be forced.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago
[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

No, you get hope, you cling to it like a motherfucker! That's what these cunts did to get in power, they believed so strongly that they could do it and took every action possible to achieve it.

You must do the same, take every action you are capable of doing and work with others who are also doing the same.

Even if you fail, you can be proud that you fought in whatever capacity you have for what you know to be right.

The rest of the progressive democratic world is right behind you and your countrymen cheering you on and we'll support you in any way we can, let us know what you need.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you. I can't imagine any help you could provide in getting things in that we don't already have, but spreading word of the chaos in America might help keep it from spreading in Europe. I don't know how much US news your average European gets, I'm assuming it used to be way too much, but currently not enough to reflect the severity.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago
[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I get it, and you're totally right. But just know that in this context, you're essentially saying "martyr yourself"

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

There are different levels you can go, there are options in between holding the gun and doing nothing.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

In today's America you can be deported to a terrorist prison state for being brownish, regardless of the paperwork. You can be detained for weeks for being a German, dutch, or British tourist, so tell me where that grey area is? Where is that needle thin line where you would go, from the safety of Europe? Tell me the exact guidelines I should follow here, cause they're much tighter than Baghdad circa '05.

Do you even know how big the US is? LA is a 26 hr drive from me. Where the fuck do you want to draw the line? Does that change when it's your country and your life on the line? And most of you are Canadian or European, and a lot of you came real fucking close to the same fatevto a lesser extent. So I ask again, where is your narrow margin where I should sacrifice myself, while you have nothing to lose?

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

And now we know how Hitler managed to rise to power.

[-] PirateFrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The only way anything changes for the better is because people like you and me and thousands of others fight for it, that's how its worked through all of history.

If we give up and lose hope, we're guaranteeing we'll lose before we've even tried, which is exactly what they want.

Don't give up hope, keep up the fight. We're in a much better position to win this than the Germans ever were in the 30's.

[-] sunbytes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't some police chief say that 10x 1000-person marches would be unmanageable (from a suppression/monitoring perspective)?

I hope that protest leaders took that as advice, rather than the whingeing it was.
