Cognitive_Dissident , to World News in No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections

Good.

I got maybe another 20 or so years of life left to me, I really don't want to see my world turn into some fascist authoritarian hell-scape where everything is ruled from Moscow or Beijing. So please, fellow homosapiens: don't let that happen, mmkay?

Cognitive_Dissident , to solarpunk memes in no really how do we fix this?

Talks about some search engine no one has heard of before that sounds Chinese or something

Yeah, nyah I think I'll stick with DuckDuckGo, which has never failed to find me what I was searching for if it exists on the Internet, and oh by the way costs me nothing to use.

Cognitive_Dissident , to politics in 'Trump is for sale': Conservatives outraged over ex-president's TikTok flip-flop

LOL Donald Trump is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russia Federation, and Milania is his 'handler' posing as his 'wife'. Wouldn't at all be surprised if his kids are all born-and-raised sleeper agents too, and that he sexually abused his daughter.

Cognitive_Dissident , to World News in Israel Has Used White Phosphorus on 17 Towns in Lebanon Since October

Fuck you, asshole, I'm no gods-be-damned motherfucking Nazi, but you sound to me like YOU are the Nazi here, defending a government and military that is systematically wiping out an entire population.

Cognitive_Dissident , to World News in Israel Has Used White Phosphorus on 17 Towns in Lebanon Since October

I am of a mind that it doesn't matter whether it might or might not happen, we need to talk about how it needs to happen, because enough people start saying that, maybe it does happen. Being silent never accomplished anything.

Cognitive_Dissident , to World News in Israel Has Used White Phosphorus on 17 Towns in Lebanon Since October

If you're actually defending the terrorist organization known as Hamas, then you can get fucked, they're just as bad as the Israeli government and military and likewise deserve to be destroyed. So does Hezbolah and all the other Islamic terror groups wherever they are.

Cognitive_Dissident , to World News in Israel Has Used White Phosphorus on 17 Towns in Lebanon Since October

The goverment and military of Israel have become just like the Nazis of World War 2 and seek to completely erase the Palestinian people and take their land. They have become everything they claim to hate.

Hamas is no better. They use the people they claim to be fighting for as human shields and have therefore participated in the mass slaughter of Palestinians.

The only people in this brutal conflict that are innocent are the non-combatants on both sides --and even then, only the non-combatants who oppose the war and oppose genocide.

The Israeli government and military deserve to be removed and tried in the International Court. Same goes for Hamas. Gaza deserves to be officially recognized as a sovereign nation, and Israel deserves to be forced to pay reparations to the Palestinians both for their loss of life and for the damage to their cities.

Furthermore when all is said and done I think that the U.S. should only continue being an ally of Israel if and when everyone in Israel responsible for the war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza are arrested and tried, and a new government formed that likewise recognizes Gaza as a sovereign nation. Otherwise Israel can just try hacking it on their own, because enough is enough.

Cognitive_Dissident , to solarpunk memes in **OBEY**

They're already half a step away from that in Texas, because Abbott is a gigantic piss baby and Cruz is a huge pussy and a jackass. Really, the Fascist Pig Party-led Texas legislature is only a step away from being Florida, and we all know what a shithole Florida is now.

Cognitive_Dissident , to politics in Alex Jones agrees to liquidate his assets to pay Sandy Hook families, in move that would end his ownership of Infowars

I was hearing about this on NPR this morning. If he sells off everything he owns it'll still be only a tiny fraction of the $1B judgement against him, and the plaintiffs will have the right to hound him for the rest of his life for the rest of it. So even if he ended up washing dishes or digging ditches for a living, they'd still have the right to garnish his wages to pay off the settlement. The sonofabitch will never have anything other than the bare necessities again, ever, which is how it should be.

Cognitive_Dissident , to Technology in Things the guys who stole my phone have texted me to try to get me to unlock it - Gothamist

I don't 'do' smartphones at all, I think they're an expensive trap -- but if you have an iPhone and it gets stolen, can't you call up Apple and have them brick it, so it can't be used at all anymore? I'd think that would be what you'd ultimately have to do if you can't get it back.

Cognitive_Dissident , to Microblog Memes in Do we just need to accept that Google is sort of broken now?

LOL I've avoided using anything from Google for a long time now just on general priciples.

Cognitive_Dissident , to politics in Gay Republican candidate melts down when he figured out that his party is homophobic

Uh huh. This is just like women legislators who support draconian abortion laws being shocked, shocked, I tell you, when they discover that those laws apply to them and their daughters as well. As much as I don't want to see any women suffer injuries or die due to these bullshit abortion laws in some states, I also must admit I want to see some high-profile women politicians who did support those laws directly affected by them in highly negative ways, so they understand how utterly stupid they've been.

Cognitive_Dissident , to United States | News & Politics in No problem: Don't Teach History

Trump is a fossil living in a nation that has progressively more fossils every year, and those fossils, like the archaeological kind, are very often full of stone, and like stone, inflexible, brittle, prone to shattering rather than being changed -- and if they manage to endure, they won't change.

I'm gen-x; I, at least, try to remain flexible, but my mind is still functional, and at a level of intelligence that is still far above the average, therefore I do not try to drag the world backwards just so I can be """comfortable""". Will I fight against actual injustice? Hell, yes. But what these fossils, and their brain-dead cult followers want, is to drag the world backwards at least 100 years -- if not 200 years, or a thousand years. They want a new Dark Age, where real facts and real truth are inconvenient, and the purveyors of such are scoffed at, disregarded, ostracized, attacked, arrested, jailed -- and perhaps just killed outright for daring to contradict whatever dictator and his cronies are in power at the time.

To anyone who reads this who disagrees, who thinks that these fossils should be the ones in power, I say this to you now: take a good, hard look at the actual 'freedoms' and 'rights' you have in these United States, and what having these things has done for you, then take a good hard look at what these reptiles want to do to your United States, and ask yourselves: is this really the best direction for us to go? It's not about """sticking it to the liberals"""; choosing the leaders of your country should not be about taking revenge on half the population, it should be about what's best for everyone, not just """your people""". Anyone who cannot, or will not understand that has their priorities all screwed up.

Cognitive_Dissident , to Political Memes in TikTok resurfaces video of Trump saying US shouldn't have a president with felony conviction

You could grab his orange head and shove it straight into that video and he'd just double-down on his insistence that he did nothing wrong, the trial was all politically motivated and therefore invalid, and that the conviction is fake.
It's like trying to argue with a Flat Earther or Moon Landing Denier, or religious nutjobs, real truth and real facts are meaningless.

FFS drop Trump in an oubliette and be done with it.
