Why aren't people in the USA shunned or banned for doing bad things?
  • Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug, huh?

    Terrible Americans who we’ve shunned include:

    Jeffrey Epstein

    Harvey Weinstein

    Charles Manson

    Edit: I asked ChatGPT for more examples:

    Bernie Madoff

    Ted Bundy

    Bill Cosby (debatable, he has his defenders)

    Aaron Burr

    Charles Ponzi

    Benedict Arnold

    John Wilkes Booth

    Elizabeth Holmes

    Jared Fogle (lol)

    Martin Shkreli

    Jeffrey Dahmer

    Terrible Japanese people who weren’t shunned:

    Hirohito

    Shiro Ishii, Other 731 leaders

    Nobusuke Kishi

    Issei Sagawa

    Shoko Asawara

    A number of Yakuza leaders

    Takeshi Kitano

    Junya Sano

  • RFK Jr wants to promote raw milk as HHS secretary – experts say it’s dangerous
  • The evidence for you being anti-vegan is public. It’s literally in the comments on this post

  • Big voter turnout this year benefited Republicans, contradicting conventional political wisdom
  • Our population increases every year. I hate when people compare numbers instead of percentages (of eligible voters).

    Did you ever stop and compare how many votes Biden got to Reagan? So much for Reagan having the biggest landslide! /s

  • how did you master splits (for flexibility)?
  • Isn’t it just a matter of slowly acclimating yourself?

  • TIL in 1933 the Wall Street Journal had a headline which read "Berlin Views Hitler Calmly: Rise in stocks reflects confidence he will not disrupt nation's affairs"
  • I heard Germany had really bad inflation before Hitler. Since we’ve seen so much inflation lately, has anyone considered bringing Hitler back?

  • RFK Jr wants to promote raw milk as HHS secretary – experts say it’s dangerous
  • All I’m gonna say is… you realize reports aren’t anonymous, right?

  • Trump picks a fervent Israel first team, but the Democrats brought us here
  • 100% agree but I think she signaled it a few times actually.

  • If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?
  • Biden is certainly left of the US center.

  • If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?
  • No. When you leave social media echo chambers like Lemmy, you hear liberals and others right of center talking about how Kamala was too liberal.

    We’re all Biden now!

  • It wasn’t actually pay per view, just sayin

    Also, the payday was about 20 mil for Tyson iirc

  • Trump picks a fervent Israel first team, but the Democrats brought us here
  • In most countries, you vote for a party that has identical views to yours. Those parties then join with others whose views you might not agree with to form coalition governments.

    In the USA, those disparate coalitions funnel into one party.

    The Democrats aren’t a monolith and it’s disingenuous to suggest as much

  • Is it that wrong to be glad about someone's death?
  • It’s not like you are celebrating his death. You are happy that he no longer had to suffer. That’s just being empathetic.

    Sorry for your loss though
