Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases 😔

It doesn’t matter how long they’ve prepared. What’s coming will destroy ecologies in huge ways, possibly collapsing all megafauna and even things like insects which have already experienced significant population collapses. People need vitamins and micronutrients to live, requires a varied diet.

We barely grow plants in space. Biosphere thing barely worked and needed outside intervention. We NEED earth. I say this as a person very educated in science- we NEED the planet intact.

The Titanic sub was a preview of the hubris of the wealthy against science. They are genuinely so narcissistic they think they can conquer extreme natural phenomena.

They particularly like AI because they believe it’s the perfect slave (and we are not because we can dissent). So yeah they will kill the world for it. And for oil, and for gold, and for money, and manufacturing, because capitalism requires capital be made and sought even if ot isnt efficient and people die. Capital above all else.

Yea naw, my parents watch WeChat short videos and read their BS articles and they constantly regurgitate anti-Democrat rhetorics, and whenever someone gets shot by police, they fucking cheer, the homeless people, anyone with a “mental illness”, even George Floyd, they think trials are waste of time and resources, they want the system to just skip the trial and want the suspects dead.

Can’t even blame “Americans” for this, the CCP has full control of the content, they clearly aren’t censoring it.

WeChat is literally poisoning the Chinese Overseas Diaspora. Its another tentacle of the CCP’s power. There’s no doubt they also infect social media platforms like facebook, xitter, etc…They sow chaos, and untimately, whatever the CCP does damages the repututation of anyone who is ethnic Chinese or looks ethnic Chinese. They are infaming Sinophobia by being the worse representatives of my people. And all the abuse that I have endured from my parents is from this toxic culture, fuck this “filial piety” BS, fuck conservatism. I’ve been helping out in my parents bussiness, and they still say I’m useless. I really wanna go back in time and shoot confucious for inventing the stupid ass religion, fuck your 孝順, its literally parental indoctrination to control their children. Evil ass shit. Fuck confucious.

Nvm

The current state American society has been in for the last 10 to 15 years is heavily a consequence of Russian info ops. Many countries run info ops. But no country has done as much damage as Russia

I hope you are right.

It’s still here in 2025. America isn’t a bunch of fascist MAGAs, even if we are being taken over by Russian assets and Russian propaganda.

They are not America even if they seized fascist control of America. America is the people here and that includes activists and trans people. That includes you and me.

That we cry out and care is evidence the universe cries out and cares, since we are part of the universe as well. The universe through us cries out.

That we cry out and care is evidence Americans care, because we are both Americans. It is so so so important to not equate America with hate, but instead to equate the MAGA admin with hate.

And regardless, those anti-trans laws are literally Putin/Russian as a policy - remember how Russia got mad at the Olympic boxer and demanded she be tested? Russia literally funded the politicians for those laws, made all the propaganda pieces and ads, etc etc etc. And ofc some traitors and assholes went with it.

Yeah, let’s just ignore the right-wing think tanks, the majority of conservative/MAGA influencers who aren’t on Russia’s payroll, and right-wing “news” organizations. It’s totally just Russia and not right-wingers trying to destroy the country to grab all the power for themselves…

I hope unpredictable events happen and everything turns out great

The majority ARE on Russia’s payroll, it’s literally how they got famous. They were blackmailable, due to crimes including visiting illegal porn sites and snuff sites, which has content literally made by Putin of his prisoners and people he dislikes to warn others to stay in line and to get blackmail.

So Russia picks someone they can blackmail FIRST, and THEN has them make content that they advertise and have bot armies (slaves, human slaves) talk about in comments etc. They do this EXACT strategy wirh crypto tickers and with fundraisers like for Gaza. If the bots (HUMAN SLAVES) do not perform well, they get tortured, starved, etc. It is literally thousands of people in these networks, and they are working in concert with BRICS, not just Russia.

Rightwingers are just the excuse BRICS needs to "liberate " the US from Nazis. They need a Nazi takeover, but an incompetent one, so they can attack us and look like the good guys and still win. Our economy is collapsing, healthcare and food and farming (which farming is the foundation of the stock market fyi) all collapsing. Education collapsing. It’s bad already from their attacks, idk how it isn’t obvious.

Maybe you didn’t pay attention to when it happened to other countries, thats why Romanians, Serbians, Georgians, Slovakians all saw it and protested. It’s also why Russia explicitly labeled Ukraine as being taken over by Nazis and insists Ukraine is a proxy war started by the US and EU. It’s why they fund Nazis (AFD) in Germany. It’s why Elon supports the AFD. Elon also betrayed the US by illegally giving Putin Starlink satellites in 2022, which were paid for and funded by the US. That’s a huge part of why he was so freaked out Trump would lose - he should be sitting in the ICC right now for being a traitor and giving Putin those satellites.

What’s so insidious about russia’s psiop over the last few decades is that all they’ve done is gently nudge the dial. They’ve sown distrust of traditional media and of democratic institutions, they’ve polarised discourse to that communities that mostly rubbed alongside one another reasonably well now are so idealogically opposed to each other that the middle ground has evaporated.

And if you think “haha stupid MAGAs” falling for propaganda, I got news for you buddy, you’ve fallen for it too.

I assumed the US was disseminating right-wing propaganda among the chinese diaspora, given that they do it with every other one.

What does China even get out of turning your parents into right-wing psychos? America gets a community that is happy to work with them against their home country.

If you look into it an amazing amount of them are further funded by Russia.

You seem to know more than me based on your response. You are claiming an amazing amount are funded by Russia, are there any decently recent sources which support your claim that you can direct me to? Do these people also take money from US-based right-wing organizations?

Russia and China have been manipulating discourse in the US since 2016; and American media is happy to let them.

I think it’s the global wealthy, but same.

I concede, but I think some are more prepared than others.

I think our legal system as its bare bones isn’t bad.

Perhaps there are solid foundations present, but slow reform will not save us. We literally can’t afford to delay immediate action.

Yeah again my plans are not your business and not something I discuss online. Youre giving off Fed energy over there.

You were free to not engage, that was me being incredibly brave in light of recent developments. I don’t take great measures to hide my identity online and I don’t care to.

The documentary is direct evidence, primary sources, and specific excerpts. Literally there’s even pictures. It’s so solid as evidence and as a case, they didn’t even get sued by Trump over it (avoiding discovery).

Then why didn’t the US government under Biden take action? I’m serious. I immediately told you I’d check them out, I am aware of the allegations loosely being made by at least the book from other sources.

If you want to do this democratically - then go to the protests and town halls and talk to people. Go ahead. I’m not stopping you, there are many movements like that already.

We need country-scale action. I spend most of my days living with impaired health, bed-bound - I can do only so much by myself. I’m doing my best to improve my health when doctors aren’t trying to kill me. I have had extremely life-threatening encounters with the healthcare system.

I can tell you’ve never been homeless or did anything with the homeless network.

I have lived in a rural area, in poverty, without much dignity at all, and with chronic illness my entire life. I am gay, autistic, regularly discriminated against, I have experienced prolonged sexual and physical abuse with absolutely no support, and I am effectively a dissident in the state I live in. It’s only through incredible kindness that I am not homeless.

And I have volunteered to directly help the homeless in the past. I’m not the vanguard, I’m just giving small nudges here and there where I can and am able.

I’m not entirely sure why all of this is being blamed on Russian propaganda. To me, that seems like a lame excuse for the US getting itself into this mess.

In any case, there will certainly be no mysterious agents coming to rescue you from your self-imposed fascism. You’ll have to do that yourselves, so I would strongly recommend that you stop assigning blame and finally do something—otherwise, you won’t be able to post on Lemmy anymore because you’ll be brought into line by the state—then you could complain about Russian conditions, if that were still possible.

You don’t know why because you are PROFOUNDLY uneducated about it or you’re a Russian bot yourself (ps most bots are human slaves, not robots).

Here’s a documentary from 2018 with McCain and Clinton:
Youtube Video

There’s also the book American Kompromat by Unger that goes into SUBSTANTIAL detail for DECADES and shows how Russia has been accruing blackmail globally.

And then multiple protests globally (Romania, Georgia, Slovakia, Serbia) regarding online Russian interference plus many many memos including from our own government.

Russia has engaged in MASSIVE MASSIVE online warfare, including on Lemmy (eg, you, maybe). It’s more effective than bullets and biowarfare in some ways. Idk how you can’t see how big of a deal it is.

The best propaganda takes advantage of flaws already present in a culture, it doesn’t try to create new ones

Wisdom is as important as bravery.

They tried but Barr and Mueller were limp dicks. It represents a MAJOR FAILURE of that admin along with the election interference.

I said that about homelessness because it is true anarchy, and maximum danger by the state, and no homeless person or formerly homeless would call the state ineffective or think it wouldn’t try to immediately enslave them when it notices them. Slab City is a homeless city in the desert, and they aren’t even safe there from police taking them. And yes online stories say no cops in the Slabs but that isn’t true, police go by routinely.

Helping the homeless isn’t the same in terms of the anarchist way of living and mindset towards the state, although it is kind.

Online communities are great for disabled people but yes can represent a danger these days.

I am not a doctor but if you ever want help with vitamins and your health issues, I can try to give you reasonable recommendations and tell you why I recommend it with studies or explanation. I have celiac so I am super familiar with every vitamin deficency and am pretty good at helping people feel a little better at least. I know having a chronic illness is the absolute worst, especially when doctors don’t know and you aren’t getting better.

I really appreciate that, I’ll consider taking you up on that after I get blood-work next. I suspect I am celiac as well and I have recently taken action to cut gluten out entirely, with some improvement.

Russia has engaged in MASSIVE MASSIVE online warfare, including on Lemmy (eg, you, maybe).

I love completely unsourced xenophobic conspiracy theories topped of with McCarthyist witch hunting
