Ok, sure. But I’ll also say this. I don’t know anyone who watches multiple news outlets. I also don’t know of any singular news source that’s accurate and unbiased.

What I found used to work for getting the bigger picture is going on reddit’s news subs.

Thousands of people, all posting from various sources, with a comments section that isn’t biased towards one direction (though they do lean more left historically, but not always).

Then I got banned from reddit by a bot that never made sense, as the comments I was banned for weren’t even controversial.

And Lemmy just doesn’t have the pure numbers to do that sort of thing. Which is sad, because being decentralized is the whole point here.

The end result is, I feel my news is incomplete, and often untrustworthy.

So yes, those people chose the wrong source for news. But at the same time, there really isn’t a decent singular source either.

Shouldn’t the yellow just be grey? If the tax was eliminated, and the grey states have no tax, isn’t that the same thing today?

Basically yellow is grey, and the blue ones will soon be grey.

Now seems like as good of a time as ever to say this. I have in the past always said that in 1930s/1940s Germany the average German may have or may not have supported the nazis. I have also said that the average German may have or may not have known about concentration camps.

Without the internet, those citizens never had a voice. And it was all too easy for the nazis to round up opposition, and take them to camps.

I have always had people argue me that couldn’t happen. That all Germans at that time knew, and supported it. Then they call me a holocaust denier. Which never made any sense to me. I never said it didn’t happen.

Point is, without the internet, todays modern american would not have a voice. It would seem like we ALL support maga. We don’t. However, there are large portions of americans who think of cops as the good guys. There are people who argue that police don’t abuse their power. Simply because their media never tells them about it. Not because they support police brutality, but rather because they believe Rodney King was a single incident.

These same people think you’re crazy if you tell them what ICE has been doing, or that we’ve already turned into a nazi state.

So I’ll say it again. The nazis took full power. They never had full support. Maga doesn’t have full support. Get your voice out there. Fight maga regardless of what nation you live in, just as your grandparents fought nazis regardless of what nation they lived in.

And now it’s time for some personal messages.

Pierre says hello.

God damn russia! A few weeks ago you hit 1 million. Now I see you tacked 32k more on. What, are you shooting for 2 million??? This isn’t like a youtube subscribers list. These are human lives, and you’re throwing them away as if they were as useless as a blockbuster membership card.

As a moderator of fuck_ai, I’m against all ai existing. As a human being with a functional brain, I’m against cybertrucks existing.

So I’m torn.

Aren’t you guys glad that we dismantled government regulation of businesses long ago? Now we get cars that are racist! Yaaaaaay!

…I don’t understand. How do you not inhale her fur when she places her butthole right on your lips as you fall asleep?

…what? Is my cat the ONLY one who does this???

Ah yes. Baby spice became Teen Spice. Then College Aged Spice. Then Midlife Spice. Then Old Spice. And now she leaves behind her husband, Herb.

Actually all the Spice Girls married different guys all named Herb. That’s where the phrase “Spices and Herbs” comes from.

They’re hiding out in Minnisota.

Do it. I need to see these posts take off. Then inevitably SOMEONE on the right wing will correct them, and the first guy will think the second guy is a leftist conspiracy.

Eventually they’d just be fighting each other.

You couldtell me one of them is dead, and I wouldn’t bat an eye in believing it.

Black or green?

Red or black?

Plot twist. The local farmers market dealer is also a crack dealer. The tomatoes have a light layer of crack on them.

“just following orders” wasn’t a valid excuse at Nuremberg, and it won’t be a valid excuse in 2028 in the Washington Trials.

Dude…why are you going around fighting coat racks? You bully!

I just want to pet him right behind the ears, and spend all day with him!!!

Part of me is convinced this a joke for one guy, switching between two accounts, just laughing to himself. Like it’s some kind of inside joke. And by “inside” I mean “inside his own head”.
