There are somethings to worry about here, but the biggest red flag is the motivation. Buying someone you barely know a gift “so they can match” screams manipulation and control.

Buying a brand new friend a new phone because theirs broke? Cool I guess. Buying a new friend a new phone so they can look like you? That sets off alarm bells in my head and I’d have a serious talk with your kid about boundaries and power and control dybamics.

Probably donate to your local food bank more often.

SimpleX does that.

This is peak lemmy progressive right here.

“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.”

lol sure

Still a 1000 times more than you’re doing.

lol 🤡

Democratic flavored genocide wasn’t enough for the Lemmy progressives so they aggressively campaigned for Trump to really ramp things up.

He won with less than 30% of the populations vote because most Americans decided facism wasn’t that bad so they stayed home. People who didn’t vote for Harris or encouraged others not to vote for Harris looked at what Trump was selling and decided they’d like to buy.

Pure fucking market manipulation.

At this point I kind of hope China goes nuclear and implements a complete import and export ban with the United States. China has the social infrastructure inplace and debt head room to borrow their way out of any kind of financial crisis. The United States does not.

If 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.

Lol, the dude said he’s hopeful that the Trump administration would do more work to break up big tech monopolies based on the record of one of his appointees. Now you reactionary lemmings are jerking each other off over who can call Proton a Nazi organization the fastest.

Unfortunately the right has spent an incredible amount time and money making LGBTQ, DEI, and other “woke” issues the focus of the conversation around progressive politics. It’s gotten to the point where anyone who supports broad application of civil rights has to spend all of their time and energy defending that support leaving no time or energy to pronote their economic policies like improved working conditions, better healthcare, or accessible child care.

It’s a flood the zone strategy that has worked incredibly well. Particularly in purple districts where Democratic representatives that barely won thier districts see no path to reelection if they continue to support “woke” issues.

They’re at the point where it’s abandon some social issues and get reelected so they can champion economic issues, or continue to support social issues and lose their seat to a Republican who won’t do either. Unfortunately in the real world their are people that have different opinions than ours and so elected officials have to pick their battles.

Hamas has done a great job protecting Gazans so far.

Oh shit, a Democratic presidential nominee was endoresed by one of them? Thank you for bringing that to our attention. Everyone please pay attention. One of these people endorsed a Democratic presidential nominee. Don’t vote for a Democrat for any public office! I repeat, don’t vote for any Democratic nominee! ^{But if you accidentally vote for Donald Trump or other republicans that’s okay}

Colloborators will not be forgiven.

Who or what are you planning on having sex with?

No. Biden refused to listen to 10% of his base in the hopes of keeping the 90% happy. That 10% decided they’d “hold Biden accountable” by supporting Republican flavored genocide, because reasons. Congratulations, I’m sure Biden really learned his lesson.
