Trusting the USA will go down as one of Europe's biggest mistakes this century.
Elon Musk has supported, and still is, supporting trump's election campaigns. Musk cannot shift the blame away from himself.
Just shown my ass. This has been obvious for years.
Elon Musk again showing why we should release the Epstein Files, snatch up all the billionaires in the country, and either send them down the ocean via submarine or just plain old drop them off in some deserted island blindfolded and let them kill themselves off.
Now that would be a reality TV show I might watch
Give them a hundred dollars in tradeable items per Billion they had. Then watch them Duke it all out. Would be interesting to see who lives like a king on the island and who get subjugated.
The idea of rewarding their ill gotten gains has me thinking it should be a running man type show and the distance from the finish line is 1 mile for every billion
Are you trying to make titen a trend?
The files he's in that he begs to become a member of the exclusive club? Yes we should release them. Fucking douche turd....huh wonder what the best way to combine those two words as an insult. Oh well I'll use it if someone can think of it. Tudush is my best but there's a lreason I'm not a writer.
The Hitler salute wasn't clear enough a message?
Two Hitler salutes on stage at the US Presidential Inauguration
It's amazing how easily it was for them to make that go away. Disturbing how nobody fucking cares.
That's what happens when billionaires own the media
The people who care, and there are millions of them, mostly already held the appropriate opinion of them.
It's amazing how many don't care, but again we already knew they were shit people and it isn't a surprise that those people are entirely okay with it until they are personally affected by it all (specifically their wallet)
What's amazing is how many millions of people aren't offing themselves due to the futility of holding onto their beliefs after decades of trying to advocate for a better world
People won't even leave twitter ☹️
Is that true? I thought twitter was pretty much just fascists and hookers nowadays.
Yeah, unfortunately. I still routinely run into big artists and stuff that either keep twitter along side bluesky or are only on Twitter still.
Two recorded salutes. Like, we have it on video from multiple sources.
And yet, he gets to have the fucking ADL run cover for him. It's disgusting what you get away with if you're rich enough to either make people eat their words, or they self-censor to avoid possible fallout.
If the organization I'm with ends up trying to get backup internet, I will play that on a loop on every device I have available if anyone tries to get it through Starlink.
Trump, Musk and the rest of the epstein class are the chosen representatives of conservatives. They accurately represent all conservatives. Conservatives are the enemy within.
Conservatism is a brain defect. It is the lack of internal moral compass. Therefore the appeal of external power structures that supposedly uphold the morals. They understand that morals are important for societal cohesion but cannot comprehend how morals are possible without external powers enforcing it. And then of course just fingers crossed that that external power -- dear Leader, the church, God -- is benevolent. Moreover, playing this system is seen as cleverness, as "it's part of the rules", therefore morally okay. Moreover, they think that anyone opposing external power structures as a surrogate for moral compass actually is trying to abolish any morals. Playing the structure is fine, removing it is immoral, according to them. It is a brain defect, amd people suffering from it should be put under guardianship. About half the population.
Your solution is substantially more humane than mine.
I really like this interpretation of it.
Holy shit that was well written!
Not "just shown" they have been showing it all along
Absolutely. 'Quick they lost the benefit of the doubt again, let's make up a new doubt for them to enjoy the benefit of.' Not how this shit should work.
And by doing this sort of shit people now see the media as an enemy within, or a cheerleader of the enemy at a minimum.
Uhh....rest of the world has known for an embarrassingly long time m'dude.
Most of the US has known for awhile too.
Most of the US has known for awhile too.
If it really was "most", the USA wouldn't be in the situation it currently finds itself in.
Low voter turn out and interference by musk and other rich fucks.
It was only like 28% or something that voted for him.
I also blame people who didn’t put into he effort to vote against Trump.
Yes there was some effort at voter suppression, but that was known and motivated people could have easily got past it if they cared enough to do so.
Every single attempt to suppress voters should be an offence with jail time, not a viable political strategy for the dumbest of Nazis
Service members: You defend the constitution against foreign AND DOMESTIC threats
you’re betraying your oath
The military has been gutted of the ethical. Hegseth made sure of it. The worst commanders, and 1st sargents made sure of it.
You can't count on them.
It's an oath upheld through force to begin with, and if the authority doing the upholding is compromised the oath itself becomes mere spectacle.
Unless the people actually hold oath-breakers individually accountable, relying on the compromised military leadership or the compromised courts won't do shit.
The rest of the world: 'yeah, we've been saying that since about 1953.'
rest of the world and most sane folks in the us.
"Now"...
Thank you. The headline seems to ignore the rest of the last 8 decades.
As I stated before, let Mexico and Canada pay for a wall. Close of the US from the rest of the world, which is now happening organically anyways, and check in a decade or so. The less shit comes out of that place, the better humanity will progress.
“The Enemy Within” is a good episode of Star Trek, and a good episode of Stargate. Why is it such a terrible fucking episode for the US?
The US was always a shit show. Change the channel?
I'm thinking we should terminate that channel
Enemy within what? It has always been the case that the US will destroy its proxies, whether they win or lose the objective they were manipulated for
Always has been.
Don't leave out traitor Musk.
Europe has to help Ukraine more. The US, Russia, and China are all working against Ukraine. This is what Europe should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. If Putin doesn't accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.
Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion.

A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
