If I didn’t live in america, I would would assume all Americans are worthless.
Lemmy already thinks that. Yet people keep coming to the US and get mad if they aren’t allowed to stay…hmmm…
I haven’t seen a yankistani this triggered by the fediverse for a while.
You know just because you’re on lemmy, there can be people from piefed, mbin, and mastodon from 100s of different instances too, right??
Keep it up tho, your “my worldview is being challenged, but everyone else here is crazy” schtick is hilarious. lmao
k. And the fact that you think me saying what I said, is me being “triggered” is hilarious too. I don’t think that word means what you think it means. :)
Idiocracy is here.
Lemmy’s favorite movie.
Well, according to Lemmy, it wasn’t even real, so…
We’re in a bad place when both sides refuse to believe anything
Agreed. Lemmy users claiming that every assassination attempt is fake is just as cringeworthy and bizarre as when some Republicans used to insist school shootings were fake or staged.
I’m watching Lemmy posters slowly morph into the very people they claim to hate. They just vote D instead of R. That’s the only real difference. It’s crazy to see it happening in real time. In this very thread there is a guy saying it was “staged.” lolol (Hi @SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world )
this kind of attitude seems disingenuous
it’s not. it’s called horseshoe theory. the more extreme ends of the political spectrum have far more common than they do with the people in the middle.
often the far left and the far right are basically only talking to each other, and they do not acknowledge the 80% of people who are neither, or they are extremely hostile to them, seeking them as being part of the other side.
Great explanation! That sums up what I was trying to point out perfectly. Thank you!
How so?
most of them don’t vote at all. they just day-dream about the glorious future of communism and UBI.
voting is too much real-world effort for them.
And don’t forget they want the UBI so they can smoke weed and play video games all day. LMAO
I mean, either he knew in advance that it was staged and he wasn’t in any real danger, or he’s literally insane and delusional about his own mortality. Neither is a good look on his part.
Said it before about the guy eating soup and I’ll say it again, I wouldn’t have moved either unless he made it in the room. No fucking way he was making it past all the security and even if he did, I’m not the target, I’ll give him the ol’ “he went that-a-way.”
“Fucking awesome” is a little far though lol, didn’t at least one guy die/get shot in the line of duty?
Personally I’d have no faith in some unknown rando’s ability to shoot accurately or in the ability of an interior wall to protect me.
The ability to get through security and into the room are not the only concerns.
Eh, more like 30 semi-randos, even if your average gun owning civilian is a better shot than average law enforcement officer that only quals once a year at best (which only applies to Police afaik, I do not know how rigorous the Secret Service is, I assume “more” but never know), that’s still working in my favor just by odds. The interior wall, fair, but still, it had to be over pretty fucking quick, how many shots did he even get off? How far away does it sound? Those details would also play a role in my decision.
Eh, more like 30 semi-randos
Holy crap you’re right and its so much worse
how many shots did he even get off?
I wouldn’t be waiting to count them to react, the first is the indicator.
How far away does it sound?
Close enough that you can hear it, close enough to go for safety first and assess after.
Tbf, it was “fine” (respects to the family of the guy who did get shot of course), the shooter didn’t make it anywhere near soup guy and probably not this guy either.
Shootings get to a large number of casualties when they shoot at unarmed people, this guy stormed a line of armed people, much harder.
At the end of the day it’s their gamble to make anyway, but it by itself isn’t evidence of a set up, they could just be passively suicidal if you prefer that to logically thinking about the fact that he will not get past the guards.
this guy stormed a line of armed people
And threw his life away. What’s even funnier, is that he did all that, wrote his mainfesto, and Lemmy doesn’t think any of it’s real anyway.
So the shooter didn’t even get to make the point he thought he was making! lololololol He had a good job, good life. Now he’s gonna go to prison for the rest of his life. The republicans will always think he is a sicko. Democrats believe he was just a plant. Best justice ever! lmao
Or he’s just bullshitting trying to look tough to match his image. Not everything is fucking fake news. Do you know what party used to go around screaming “fake news!” for everything just a few years ago?
You guys are becoming them. Is that what you want?! lol
He was hardly alone in the room. If he were lying about not ducking somebody would have called him out on it immediately.
As someone recently said, “Not everything is fucking fake news.”
I’m not so sure if you are ducking for you life after hearing gunshots, you are paying attention to who is not ducking. I have no idea if he ducked or not, but I don’t think the attempt was fake. I think Dana is stupid.
