Conservatism emphasizes self-reliance, which is a principle I stand firmly behind. Self-reliance is not a request—it is a demand, a necessity, the foundation of true power! A people who cannot sustain themselves are a people in chains, and I say—break those chains! Build, create, rise!
Good grief, I was not making fun of them
Ok, then clarify.
And tho you may really like to watch upvotes/downvotes, I don’t care about them. So you were being “sarcastic” when talking about the people who are on social security, yet in the same comment you weren’t being sarcastic when talking about current workers.
Is that what you are trying to get me to believe?
So were you or were you not making fun of people on social security? Who, by the way, aren’t all old. Clarify.
because they couldn’t find a better job elsewhere? I guess just fuck them, or something.
But did you pretty much say “just fuck them,” to a different group of people when you said, “Yeah, the people who are no longer working and who probably can’t find a job even if they wanted to should just establish their own retirement fund now. Presumably with all that money they pull from the magical money tree.”
Sounds like you are all for certain groups of people getting fucked over, but not others.
How about NO ONE get fucked over. That’d be better.
Just like Luigi, what she did is wrong and she should face the full legal consequences. Luigi is no hero, and neither is she.
I planned ahead for layoffs for every fucking job I had, before I retired. I don’t trust management from anywhere. I don’t know why Fed workers would feel any different.
And I also don’t feel any more sorry for them than anyone else. Non workers get laid off all the time and Lemmy doesn’t seem to care that much about them.
Hmmm… maybe the fed workers can “learn to code.”
Why the fuck haven’t people started learning to plan ahead yet?
What do you mean? Maybe you can clarify?
Sounds like you deserve downvotes
How so?
I think it’s best to place them where they are earned, not just blindly downvote every post based on the user.
Agreed.
so?
They are voting based on my name, not the article. smh
Good clarification.
I like what Musk is doing. Musk isn’t my king, so I am not sure what you mean.
cm0002 can NOT do that. He lives online, yet calls other people who post a lot, “trolls.” lol
Agreed! I admire your balls to stand up to the wave of hate and downvotes.
It’s crazy that you get downvoted so much for having a fair opinion. lol
I get what you’re saying, but this specific group already does this to scale.
And are you all happy they do that? Because you’re proposing to do the same thing. So how does that make you any better than them?
They should all stick together and no one should respond.
sure. Because the world is like Lemmy. They’ll totally do that. Riiiiggghhhttt.
It matters, and you used up the “I’m just a guy posting things” justification.
But why would that matter? It’s the message, not the messenger. I AM just a guy posting things.
You’re the one that seems to be implying that just because I’m the one posting it, the message should be disregarded. Is that fair to the AP News people who wrote the article, who researched it, who did all the reporting–all of their hard work?
Not only that, I didn’t even post the article, I posted a LINK to the article. But you want to disregard everybody’s hard work and fact finding, because you don’t like me. And you don’t even know me.
Your bias is affecting your judgement. Is that really what you’ve become since the election didn’t go your way? Someone who’s so blinded by frustration that they will just ignore facts simply because of the poster.
You even actively, publicly requested that I get banned. And I post links AP news and reuters articles. But hey, you don’t like me, so that’s totally enough for a ban, right?
Also, feel free to post all the articles you want if you don’t like mine.
And, unlike you, I’ll choose to judge them based on content, not you as a poster.
You can even go farther. Start your own community and only post content you want, and don’t let people you don’t like post there. That way it can be 100 percent your little gated community.
I’m fine if ya chose that route too.
Trying to sanewash Musk’s wholesale demolition of every US support structure by describing it as a “cleansing” the government is intentionally disingenuous
I didn’t choose or edit the headline. That’s AP News. Are you implying that AP News wrote an intentionally disingenuous article? Because I’m not quite sure where you are going with this line of thought.
I’m not American because I don’t some random word from Seinfeld? While posting in a political community? Ok…
Sorry to burst your narrative, but I’m american and older than you are.
I have no idea what that means, never seen that word, and definitely not looking up based on what you have been saying so far.
So is there a time limit on when we should start posting? I didn’t see that in any Lemmy TOS. You realize that everyone who just created a Lemmy account…just created a Lemmy account. Right?
And Trump is the US President, not a führer. Sad that you don’t know what the difference is.
