I owe this women an apology. She was completely right and reacting appropriately.

I had someone here on lemmy literally tell me that history doesn’t matter and we shouldn’t pay attention to it. The ignorance was fucking astounding.
Years ago someone told me on reddit that antivirus protections on personal PCs aren't necessary and a waste of processing power.
Can't really reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
Were they arguing that extra antivirus wasn’t necessary? Cause windows built in has been better than alternatives for years now (well, idk about 11, but 7, 8, and 10 all had good antivirus).
When I was a strapping young lad, I would rather just reinstall the system in case of viruses than living with the antivirus software
Funny that the one thing all three scenarios have in common is: “misled people that vote”. I wanted to write “dumb and ignorant people voting” but I wanted to be generous
As an autistic person who has a great skill of finding similarities between two things, you can see a lot of parallels between our modern world and 1940s Germany.
I'd say we're still at the 1930s Germany stage, considering World War 3 hasn't started yet.
Unfortunately there are plenty more fascist regimes than Germany's to choose from as examples. Many didn't start a world war, and therefore lasted much, much longer than the Nazis did.
Basically what I think of Simpsons "predictions".
Matt Groening isn't some kind of clairvoyant. He just knows history and recognizes patterns.
I'm scared about the prediction of Britain saving America's ass in WW3.
The left will never get the credit for being right all along.
That's okay. I don't want credit. I want things to get better. I want to make things get better.
Also they laid it all out in project 2025. It's not like they tried to hide it other than trumps usual "I've never heard of it". And if you believe anything that shithead says.. well this is what happens
It goes back further than that.
this current arc starts with 9/11.
Disagree. This is the result of decades more bullshit from other american presidents, political figures, and 3 lettered organizations ran by ghoulish wastes of skin. There have been many famous people who have been outspoken about this shit in that time too. 9/11 and America’s batshit insane reaction to it was just more of the same dumb bullshit the rest of the world has come to expect from it’s governments and citizenry.
Being a leftist means being right too soon...
Anybody with the slightest Critical Thinking Skills knew how bad this would get, way back in 2015.
I knew who this hump was back in the 80s, and could have told you what a disaster he'd be as president back then, and would have been 75% correct, with only a 25% underestimation of how bad it would actually be.
Overall 40 percent of Americans didn't even read a single book last year. Doesn't bode well for critical thinking if we can't even read.
If I'm being honest, the first term was quite underwhelming compared to how bad it could be (as 2025+ has proved).
Did you forget all the COVID anti-mask and anti-distancing insanity? The still-not-fully-understood blatant theft and corruption around the PPP “loan” program that pilfered so much money it inflated the US Dollar at unprecedented rates? The intentional separation of children from parents by force?
He didn’t surround himself with literally zombies who only say yes to him during his first term. Them turning on him when he wanted to overrule the election results showed that. He doesn’t know how government works and thought everyone should treat him like a king from the beginning and had a rude awakening that was term 1. Now he knows and thus, utter destruction.
yeah but like, I saw that—if that is the same person—she dared to make some comics about very obvious social issues rendered with very competent art and comedy and also dared to be a woman doing such activities and as a person of man I find that objectionable that a woman so me mad. but like just because i had to see it because me mad at her because she is.
Reminds me of an all time classic Onion article.
2015? lol... USA has been a trash empire since a few enslavers made it up.
Yes, but have you considered how bad it is that respectable white people are now affected by its brutality? Have some empathy for Christ's sake. 😤
Seriously though, it is incredibly frustrating to see discourses like these when racialized and indigenous people in the US metropole have criticised the fundamentally violent nature of the United States before it was even imagined. The smugness of it all y'know?
Yeah but the other option was a woman so I sat at home.
Well, to be fair, being able to read is quickly becoming indistinguishable from the arcane arts in America.
