I know when I talk with Canadians about stuff like "Trump is a dope why is he doing this", they always start ranting about China and Russia and traitors and theft and hate. It's a perfectly normal thing to do, and I'm the weird one here. Truly.
I want to start asking you about the slrpnk admins again. Why did you want to involve yourself in standard fare Lemmy drama and why, the only time you got coherent and started trying to make some sense, was it on behalf of one of their strange moderation decisions? Why was that what motivated you to step out of low-effort-chaos land? As far as I can tell, almost literally every other thing you say is this type of schizophrenic nonsense. You'll start talking about electric vehicles and within one sentence you're yelling about the US proxy war on Russia and Mexican state sponsored terrorism and Yemen. But the slrpnk moderation drama was a super weird outlier, as minor as it was, and I'm still curious about why that was.
My interjection on BS oil industry shilling "free speech" was consistent with human sustainability. I don't consider being anti-war and anti-evil to be schitzo. On topic, the political BS that gets repeated as "Trump motivation" is simply distractive BS. The CIA agents that are platformed in our media to tell us such BS, will in their next breath, advise Canadians that we need to spend 3-5% of our GDP on F35s.
Does a different US agency than the CIA pay you to try to normalize evil and disinformation on lemmy?
Yeah, my funding's been all in disarray since the Trump cutbacks started. I've had to start a whole proxy war in Nicaragua to self-fund the whole thing and it's been a huge pain in the ass, let me tell you.
Good news that nicaragua war has yet to hit my news feed. Starving couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Ask to get in on that sweet Panama operation.
