Ask Lemmy

That’s just unregulated capitalism.

That is exactly why Shein and Temu exist as far as I can tell.

This is like the physical product version of the Nigerian prince scam - have something so shit that the only people who engage with you are idiots.

Can you clarify a bit?

Do you mean that they are trying to identify, corral, and market heavily to these low-standards consumers so as not to waste their time with the rest (analogous to email scams)

Or more that they are progressively beating down our collective level of standard so as to make the cheap crap more broadly palatable?

I don't necessarily disagree with either, but they are pretty different, so just curious which direction you are going.

It's insane how many left leaning leaders were assassinated. And it isn't a coincidence that it was during the red scare. What we KNOW about McCarthyism is crazy enough, now think of all the stuff they wouldn't say out loud to fight the "red menace."

Also tupac and biggie got removed becuase they spoke about things elites didnt like to be replaced by the prosperity rap clowns to worship them and their money to the plebs.

That ones not really a conspiracy. We know the FBI did it.

People just don't care, which is the most fucked up part

You don't need a shadowy conspiracy when you make it legal to bribe politicians and write the laws for them. It's all done out in the open. Regulators and board rooms have revolving doors for the same few people, and they all make insanely disgusting amounts of money while the rest of us suffer.

For Trump it's not so much dirt but he got a lot funding after he was a disgraced business man in the 90s that hasn't been sourced. I always thought he got it from Russia leading towards his allegiance to them.

This really isn't a conspiracy, it's pretty much just fact. The Mueller report was damning in showing the trump Russia connection. If we had sane bribery laws and a doj willing to prosecute it'd be a slam dunk. (Our bribery laws practically require an elected official while exercising their elected power to say "I'm doing this because of a sweet bribe". Nothing less qualifies). Literally half of it was dedicated to Trump Russian connections.

The Senate intelligence report on Russian election interference confirmed the Mueller report, that the Russians were working to get trump into office.

I agree with the first point. Using our human bodies as an example when we get infected. It gets really warm. It's usually a technique used to kill bacteria among other defenses.

I don't personally believe it's some kind of "I got my peace for a brief moment and want more" thing. I just believe that we ramped up production after the COVID "recovery" period and we went back to business as usual at a rapid rate.

Absolutely true, although imo not necessarily as a conscious choice. It's simply earth's feedback systems. We cram all kinds of animals together and accidentally breed highly contagious viruses, which come back to bite us in the ass. We destroy biodiversity and now people in certain parts of the world have to manually pollinate crops, because the insects all died. Etc.

If all goes well, earth will find a balance again that still favours life (possibly not human life). If not, earth might end up like Venus. Not a big deal for earth, but a bit of shame of all this life we currently see here.

At first I thought you meant you are a Q supporter than I realized you're saying every accusation is an addition of guilt.

Every accusation a projection, but fuck that's dark and specific.

Its like those staunch anti LGBTQ+ Republicans who get caught with a "wide stance" at the local M4M glory hole

That honestly sounds like clinical paranoid delusions. I have a couple of bipolar friends who think this way.

It's always just US spy craft, foreign spy craft, foreign craft of unknown purpose, weather balloons, weird atmospheric shit. Also: instrumentation fucking up/data corrupting. When you combine the instrumentation with any of the former, it doubles it.

Nah the Trump fanbois would gladly do that work for free. They're pretty communist like that

Came from a lab? Possible. But it doesn't really have the hallmarks of a bioweapon. It spreads way too rapidly. There's no functional antidote/vaccine/treatment. There's no preventives. It mutates waaaay too quickly. All things that remove control from the users. If you're going to bio-bomb a population, you definitely don't want major blowback.

That's my uncle Charlie. Don't mind him.
