Ah yes, the famous pentagon blue maga shadow task force focused on lemmy.

You can’t say there isn’t anything to it. But for sure I agree it isn’t the whole story.

I’m so excited! Will it not suck completely? Maybe!

I didn’t know that. Can you recommend an article or something about that?

You can frame it like that or you could frame it that life saving weapons are provided while wrapping financing into something the countries can digest.

It’s just messed up messaging. Germany will continue to deliver all the aid that was promised and they might add new aid, but the financing will be different.

At this point it is necessary to mention Germany provides a lot.

Also to mention, maybe Germany gov should change their Pr department. These kinds of things have now became a pattern.

It was a joke…

Geez. Linux community is extremely uptight and extremely triggered by any challenge, even whimsical. Relax guys. But seriously, Firefox kind of sucks.

So just to install chrome?

Edit: I got down voted for saying people use edge for downloading Chrome. A lot of edge lovers here, who would have known?

I know the Linux community doesn’t want to know, but Firefox is not as belowed as you might think.

The irony.

Ah, sorry, I’m not looking for a competition, I’m more interested in taking to people in good faith.

My point was that there is a significant difference worth something. When you are dissecting text like your are, you miss all of the points.

I disagree on many of your points, I think your perspective is very…binary. Politics is mainly shades of grey.

You don’t know if kamala wants to appear sympathetic or actually is. If you think there is no difference why protest at all, or why not protest at trumps rally. I think there is a big difference worth fighting for, or at least worth not sabotaging.

Well actually, while the binary choice is almost the norm in US, it quite often happens everywhere else in the world on all levels of governance.

To your second point: the apathy you are feeling is normal when staring into a big machinery of a huge party systems in such a huge country. Lobbyists are strong, but defeatist attitude is the only reason they have the strength they do. Big changes can happen when participation is high.

In normal circumstances I would agree with you about applying pressure during the elections. But in the current situation when the candidates are so far apart on the subject, but so very close in the polls, I don’t see logic in undermining the chances of the only candidate who might be considering a change of politics.

Although a protest here and there isn’t a big issue.

For me? You mean for everybody on this planet?🤣

It is a binary choice when it is a binary choice. If you don’t want a binary choice, then first fight to change the system. Without that, you have a binary choice.

Politics is often a binary choice. You try to get the less worse option elected, then you try to push it the direction you want. Sabotaging the less worse option because it’s not better to begin with, will make the worse option win.

The worst thing to do is to pretend there is no issue. There is an issue, it’s an issue people get easily upset about. There has to be a precise way how to deal with it so there is no room for it being a political issue.

You wrote down a reason why Russian bots are bad and one that is not really true. Russian bots aren’t saying just about anything. Not to mention most people wouldn’t mind if a self proclaimed Russian bot started to push for vanilla ice cream over chocolate agenda. They would “not lose sleep” over it, but then some still go out and buy some vanilla. Even if they don’t believe in marketing.

It doesn’t really matter if they are a bot or a useful idiot if they are doing the same job.
