Pride Puppy. Apparently there’s even a children’s book about this doggo.

Thanks a million for all your efforts. It’s because of people like you that we have cool content here at all.

Unfortunately, I’m still not as active as I probably should be. I’ll try to do better.

Oh, it’s Spoofy.

Fun fact: Monopoly originated from “The Landlord’s Game” created in 1903 by Elizabeth Magie, an anti-monopolist who designed it to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land ownership.

I see. Not the agitator that is still spreading misinformation but the one with the fraudulent academy who is also spreading misinformation, owes the state of New York half a billion dollars for fraud and is apparently selling NFTs, golden sneakers, bibles and possibly state secrets - that one is running for president. Got it.

In Germany, my home country, and also in the EU, there are of course also numerous problems - as in other parts of the world.

I know. But since then it has only become more ridiculous.

Edit: I can’t tell the difference between Alex Jones and Donald Trump. The only difference I can see is that one still is somewhat in business and one is your candidate for the next presidential election. And to me it seems like they are both in the same business.

As a European, I just can no longer follow the political discourse in the States. Whether in the form of memes or news - you can’t be serious.

If the Lemmy admins can’t make a living from it, that’s the Lemmy community’s fault.

Don’t worry, Mario, it’s a fine. You can just appeal until you’re president or get the coins from Bowser if you help him take over the Mushroom Kingdom. In the meantime, please stop claiming that you didn’t sexually assault Princess Daisy back in the 90s - you were convicted for that.

This doesn’t seem like an open question to me.

Glad you like it. This style is pretty much cyberpunk. A sub-genere of science fiction that is quite popular since the late 70s.

I don’t

I think we should take more decisive action against those parties that knowingly and deliberately promote pseudo-scientific attitudes with targeted misinformation in order to promote their interests. These powerful and unscrupulous players are at the heart of the problem, I’d say.

Me too. I just don’t understand why so many people think that these “ok boomer / millennials, gen x,y,z does this and that” things don’t work on the same principle tho. I think it’s just as stupidly stereotypical…and I’m not even a boomer.

I hope so.

Seriously?!?

That’s probably the way it is. Unfortunately, this explanation doesn’t give you much hope in humanity when so many people seem to think this way.

Yes, that’s the thing. I find it terribly frustrating that the same old playbook still works with all its pamphlet-like explanations, its false accusations and its pretended messiah logic: “It’s the foreigners’ fault that you can’t find job; a strong leader will stand up for you and save us all if you just follow him unconditionally” and so on and so forth. It simply boggles my mind how people can still believe that - in Germany, with its terrible Nazi past, just as much as in America, where an obviously criminal billionaire pretends to care about those left behind and dissatisfied. It’s almost as if people want to be exploited and instrumentalized against their own interests. I don’t get it.

It’s as if people have learned absolutely nothing from the past; not even the Germans. It’s enough to make you cry.
