“It’s not my fault I helped Trump get elected; it’s the DNC’s fault for failing my obscure purity test. Who cares that Trump is worse on every issue I care about.”

78·7 months ago“95.5% of people who are forced to say they like their government say they like their government”
You should be more skeptical, anything that claims to have a 95% approval rating is probably not telling the truth.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?English
353·8 months agoIf you count humans as animals then cocaine and clothing from companies like Temu and Shein aren’t vegan.
Cocaine manufacturing and distribution is full of human exploitation and suffering. Using it should go against the vegan ethos of avoiding consumption of things that are the product of exploitation. Similar to honey, milk, or eggs.
Similarly, Shien and Temu make nearly all of their products using slave labor in terrible working conditions using dangerous chemicals without any precautions.

61·8 months agoPublic transportation and walkable cities are much better for the elderly and disabled who often can’t drive due to their age and disability?
Taking a wheel chair or mobility scooter or be guided by your service dog are all subsets of “walk there”.

3016·10 months agoOn the plus side by helping get Trump elected you’ve made transgender people afraid to go outside and set back the civil rights movement to the early 70s. So you didn’t actually stop the genocide, you just helped accelerate it, and screwed over a bunch of minorities! What a big win for you!

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•I've heard this argument before. I didn't know how to potentially respond to it until they actually changed the prices.English
211·1 year agoWhy don’t you register your car or pay insurance? Do you have magic tires that never need to be replaced? Is gas approximately $0/gal where you live? Or does you car get such insane gas milage that driving any distance uses approximately 0 gallons of gas?
That doesn’t even take into account the ridiculous cost to tax payers of maintaining roads for personal vehicles. Even worse you’re completely ignoring the latent expenses like the terrible health costs associated with air pollution from exhaust and tires, the stress of traffic, and the sedentary life style that your little metal box demands of you.
I think your car costs a lot more for you to operate than you realize but you’re so conditioned to paying a subscription fee to exist you happily fork over your money without a second thought.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are you tired of helping and educating people about because you know they'll just be ignorant anyway?English
152·1 year agoIn the the US laws are passed by the legislative branch, in particular laws around spending are passed by the House of Represtatives. Currently the House or Representatives is controlled by the Republican party, the party of which Donald Trump is the undisputed leader. As such Trump has sufficient control over the Republican party to broadly control the parties legislative priorities, including spending. In fact he has already used this authority to enact his legislative priorities around spending and immigration reform among other things.
Donald Trump has directed the Republican party to support the genocide in Gaza, so the Republican party provides the funding necessary to for the IDF to conduct the genocide in Gaza.
Additionally when Donald Trump was president he did several things to empower Israel including moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and required all Palestinian affairs to go through this embassy.
While the Democratic party has played a part in supporting the genocide, Donald Trump and the Republican party absolutely have the power to stop the US from passing funding bills to arm the IDF and help stop the genocide. Instead he and the Republican party he leads enthusiastically support what Israel has been doing in Gaza and now are trying to do in Lebanon. There’s every reason he’ll take the US’s support for the genocide even further.

Cars are only thing that creates congestion.
