What happened to the right to speak the truth?

Their truth.

Their alternative facts.

The actual truth is for snowflakes and liberals to get upset over.

'Just put the weather in the bag bro'

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

I'm honestly getting real fuckin fed up with this country

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 35 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

From the same people who scream and bitch and moan about their right of free speech. It's only their right apparently.

A lot of people here thinking the USA is speed running fascism here.

No, the USA was always an inspiration to fascism (just ask the remaining Native Americans as an example).

That's why it was able to adopt into it so quick. Not that hard to change a car to gasoline if it was already running on diesel.

Is almost a good analogy, but that's not so easy 😅

Frying fat would have been better, because most older diesels run on it out of the box.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Who gets their frying fat in a box?

[–] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Well it did take awhile, but it's definitely easier than turning a horse into an electric car

just have to replace the engine, how hard could it be? /s

better analogy would be converting a (relatively modern) gas engine to E85, it's simpler, from what i understand

Before WW2 broke out, the New York Times LOVED Mussolini. They kept pumping out articles about how much of a cool guy he was.

[–] Potatar@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

What if we called the original people Americans, and the newcomers immigrant Americans?

Clarity: Native American -> American

American -> Immigrant American

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

All life on land is an immigrant is it not?

[–] Potatar@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Not really. Those are human made concepts, so you must start from the inception of the concept of immigration. Good luck finding the exact date, since it predates written language :/

Well since dates are human concepts as well we can just state it is immigration date 00/00/0000. Are the months or days first? That's up to you, haha. You make a good point, but you understand what I mean. If we consider immigration only being the integration into another state permanently then we would have to say we had mostly open immigration into the U.S. until the later parts of the 1800s. The first 99 years there were no real immigration laws here. (So roughly 40% of our history had no immigration restrictions for the most part)

Everything they accuse china and the opposition of doing it something they do or want to do themselves.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 hours ago

Same as russia. Classic faschist strategy.

ah, freedom of speech at its finest

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 157 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They really are speedrunning fascism this time around. They did have plenty of time to prepare out in the open and gained public support with no long term repercussions.

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 84 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Remember when trump said he had no idea what project 2025 was and that he had no intention of implementing it?

It's a problem that the purge of those offended by nazis/oligarchs hinting too close to naziism is this early.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 29 points 15 hours ago

The Nazi speedrun all around the world scares me. It's like they are competing with climate change, for who gets to kill us first.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Meteorologist fired, picture unrelated.

[–] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz 19 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Had to do some memeological research; that's Yeon-mi Park, a North Korean defector on the Joe Rogan Podcast saying "in North Korea ..."

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

she makes up shit about how bad life in is NK, like "we have to get out and push the train when it stops"

[–] pozzy77@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

Her replacement will be predicting a lot of Heil in the future
