Nicky jam is apparently a fucking moron. Which we never could have figured out from face tattoos and a side hat I guess, because they are so trendy and awesome.

Giant fuckin dirt hat.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

MY Country

"Fuck you for mine" mentality here

The country of ... Puerto Rico??

A nation perhaps but why TF is he calling it a country

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Because no one calls where they live a nation? Country is the generic people term for place you live, we don't care about the legal distinctions and specifications.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

It's less of a legal distinction and more of a definition thing. He is objectively using the wrong word.

It would not be incorrect to refer to the people of Puerto Ricans as a nation by the definition of the word. The word nation does not refer to a place but a group of people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

They used the right word in common speak, any other word would feel out of place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Both words refer to both concepts.

country

  1. A nation or state. 
  2. The territory of a nation or state; land. 
  3. The people of a nation or state; populace.

nation

  1. A relatively large group of people organized under a single, usually independent government; a country. 
  2. The territory occupied by such a group of people.
  3. The government of a sovereign state.

I never thought

There, that's the official motto of trump supporters.

Make circular buttons with that text centered within a leopard print image behind it

"Nicky jam is hot". The fact that Trump didn't even bother to know about him when thinking he was a female onstage I'm guessing would have been the first red flag for him

[–] [email protected] 48 points 8 hours ago (8 children)

The dude who crashed the market with multiple tweets multiple times is more trusted than Dems who markets always do better under?

Clueless idiots...

what this election cycle has shown is that although it appeared to simmer down a lot over the last half century, racists just faded into the hedgerows simpson style to grow behind the bushes. trump has dragged them out into the open enough that ee can now see the depth in more detail

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

if you arent white, stupid, or overestimate your importance to the world, you will be targeted

>Not a country

>Donald Trump has repeatedly spoken badly about and deliberately mistreated Puerto Rico

>Donald Trump also routinely speaks extremely badly about the country Puerto Rico is in

I'm glad he's changed his mind at the literal last minute, but it baffles me every day how ignorant people can be.

Petition to restart [email protected], by the way.

Don’t Trump call America a garbage can like a couple days before this guy made this joke? It seemed like just an extension of what Trump already said.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Yep.

That's how dictators work

They'll shit on top of the country and try a self fulfilling prophecy . Over time, people will believe it. They'll create a negative mindset

Then when they're elected they'll do the opposite. Their supporters will simply change their mindset.

Every time I make the mistake of visiting that sub, I want to smack the mod who locked it. I don't even know if his grievances were legit, but clearly the only people he's hurting are the folks who would like to post to the sub.

Edit: Are .world Admins aware? Do they have a position on the situation? Do they give a crap? Anyone know?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

We're aware. AFAIK, nobody has expressed interest in taking over that community and bringing it back to life.

@[email protected] would you like to volunteer?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

It's funny you should ask that; I was just about to reach out to ruud over Matrix and have been thinking about it for a couple weeks. I'd love to if that's alright with the admin team.

Hey, you shouldn't presume to know what other people do with their free time.

I'm so glad you said this so I didn't have to.

edit: This song was originally sung by the group "Men Without Hats." Because of that, it always reminds me of the webcomic "[http://meninhats.com](Men in Hats)," which is excellent. If you haven't read it, you should.

edit 2: apparently my linkage didn't work, I guess because of the quotes? Sorry about that.

I used to endorse trump, but then I realized that I actually never endorsed him because I have a fucking working brain and I'm not a stupid 'murican.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Well republicans aren't good for the economy either

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Don't you understand? 20% tarrifs is actually good for the economy because prices will go down when China has to pay Americans 20%! Take that communists! And unregulated capitalism is the only way to avoid inefficiencies and economic dead ends, thanks to the protective power of monopolies.

Never expected the orange leopard to eat MY face.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago

I'm sorry to say that, but I think that moronic statement is pretty much the US in a nutshell. I mean Trump is one of just two presidential candidates...and it seems to be a close election.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 11 hours ago (7 children)

Florida is filled to the brim with Hispanic folks that love Trump. It makes no goddamn sense to me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

My dad was African Caribbean with a heavy accent who got citizenship after decades in the US. At times, legal, at time illegal, as the system is quite intentionally broken. After ALL that experience, being repeatedly treated with racist attacks by cops, bank tellers, and who knows how many else, that's just was I was around to see happen. Anyway, he was VERY pro-trump. Mostly because he was juvenile, and liked he could say a few lines of whatever Trump was saying and it would piss everyone off. He just loved it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

I’m convinced that most of what they say is to simply piss people off. Once someone is in a negative space long enough, they start to crave that attention and anger as their new norm.

Your dad went through a hell of a gambit to be here.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Conservatism.

How much sense does it make for poor people to support Trump? Or women?

Cuban expats that are vehemently anti communist.

Cuban expats that are vehemently anti communist.

And who have apparently assimilated so well into US society that they have no idea what communism actually is anymore. A democrat vote is still miles away from anything even remotely resembling communism.

Man, the US really is getting its mileage out of the Red Scare.

We've been trying to tell you. When he gets your vote and gets into office, he's not going to give a shit about you. Listen to the people who already got fucked the last time he was president.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 11 hours ago

Nicky Jam, 'She's hot!' -DJT

Trump didn't even know who you were dude. Glad you pulled support but fuck you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

So much of this now.
