PragerU is a dangerous joke, a barely even veiled propaganda machine pretending to be educational, a privately owned partisan conservative history white washing lie generator with an entire wing aimed at indoctrination of children. It should be ridiculed and sued out of existence for myriad cases of libel, but here we are on the worst timeline propping it up over public broadcasting that has been actually educating kids for generations. Fuck me.

Fucking shit americans, PLEASE fet your shit together, make it stop... I know this one is a tiny drop in the ocean of rotting shit that is the Trump fascist regime, but fuck...

Sorry, sorry, i know, you're just as horrified...

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago

I'm doing the best I can, my dude. There's only so much I can do when the entire system is working against us at every turn. Even the politicians that were supposed to be on our side are a bunch of pussies that have no moral compass as long as they get paid. I'm going to protests and I'm trying to keep my friends and family informed (even my MAGA dad) but there's only so much I can do.

And yeah, I'm horrified. I haven't had a good night's sleep since October. I'm basically starting to doomsday prep at this point.

We need help from the rest of the world and right now only Canada and Brazil have shown any spine whatsoever. When all the world governments accepts this BS too, we're all fucked. Tell your government to boycott the US. No trade, no tech, no exceptions.

WE ARE TRAPPED IN A COUNTRY THAT IS DRIVING ITSELF AND NOTHING CAN STOP IT BUT CRASHING THE WHOLE DAMN THING.

Sorry, but there is nothing we can do but wait this out or take up arms, at which point this will all be made worse because the people trying to do good will be the ones framed as the villains which will give the whole establishment further fuel for their sheep minded constituents. What the fuck are you doing except making victims feel worse?

I'm stocking up on ammo for the forthcoming culture war, but I wish people here would wake up to it being a class war.

Granted I am also making Plan B and C to leave the country inside of a year or so...if I even can at that point.

I thought PBS was shutting down?

[-] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down. Not PBS nor NPR.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 11 points 4 days ago

The US government stopped funding it, but it was 'self-sustaining' (through donations) already.
