  • I’d win for most breweries visited. I’m around 600.

    You need to study up on Russian manipulation of your own mind, as you clearly have lost your Heart and Mind to Putin in how you go around on Lemmy attacking Americans who are educating about the Kremlin information warfare against the United States of America. Perhaps you have a Russian agent who has influenced you at one of these 600 breweries?

    “Rykov has created a series of websites, similar to Trump2016 ru, or used his Twitter page to post opinions on international politics. He often promotes rightwing political figures; for instance, he has previous promoted the National Front, a French nationalist political party, and its leaders, Jean-Marie Le Pen, and his daughter, Marine Le Pen. Rykov also uses events to draw favorable comparisons to Kremlin policy, such as likening Scotland’s independence movement to Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.”


  • Law? There is no law in the U.S. until, by some miracle, we get rid of Cheeto Chimp and all the rest at the top. IMO: that’s not going to happen. Not even in '28.

    So you are here on Lemmy systems creating messages saying nothing will happen, not even for 4 years, And that you think there is no law at all. So you think you can just go rob banks and tamper with drugs on the shelf of stores and do anything you want because you believe everything you read off social machine systems. That you live in an alternate reality induced by Lemmy meme consumption and anything you think is the one perfect understanding of the world.

    You are unable to even distinguish reality from ChatGPT / Large Language Model Systems. You really need to try and come to terms with the Kremlin’s “War Against Reality” that has taken place on electric media machines, including Lemmy media platform, here is a year 2014 story:

    “Russia and the Menace of Unreality”
    “How Vladimir Putin is revolutionizing information warfare”
    By Peter Pomerantsev
    September 9, 2014

    “At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations

  • TOPIC: Trump Has ‘Begun Process’ of Replacing Pete Hegseth

    It’s called humor.

    So you are here on USA topics on social machines to sanewash and morality wash Donald Trump using amusement and humor, portray this as all Reality TV “The Apprentice” and not a crisis in USA. I understand fully, that’s why Elon Musk purchased Twitter in year 2022, to further support the alternate reality “this isn’t real, it’s just The Apprentice comedy show” perspective of Americans.

  • I’m not sure I would call it successful in the long (or even medium) term given the events that directly followed…

    Based on a study of your usage of Lemmy, I’m not sure you are capable of having any ideas that are sure.

    You came along to one of my messages and said “What a sad, pathetic waste of time this comment was” just a few minutes ago. I think you are here to promote anti-intellectualism on Lemmy media systems.

    The French Revolution that was massively successful in removing scum from the country?

    I think it promoted anti-intellectualism and violence, which many people in April 2025 on electric media systems of Twitter, Lemmy, Mastodon, Bluesky, Reddit, TikTok, Fox News HDTV, CNN HDTV seem to adore. The idea of killing and murdering human beings they disagree with, the machine powers of guns and weapons to dehumanize others.

    “There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong. I don’t think we have to look too far to see that. I’m sure that most of you would agree with me in making that assertion. And when we stop to analyze the cause of our world’s ills, many things come to mind. We begin to wonder if it is due to the fact that we don’t know enough. But it can’t be that. Because in terms of accumulated knowledge we know more today than men have known in any period of human history. We have the facts at our disposal. We know more about mathematics, about science, about social science, and philosophy than we’ve ever known in any period of the world’s history. So it can’t be because we don’t know enough. And then we wonder if it is due to the fact that our scientific genius lags behind. That is, if we have not made enough progress scientifically. Well then, it can’t be that. For our scientific progress over the past years has been amazing. Man through his scientific genius has been able to dwarf distance and place time in chains, so that today it’s possible to eat breakfast in New York City and supper in London, England. Back in about 1753 it took a letter three days to go from New York City to Washington, and today you can go from here to China in less time than that. It can’t be because man is stagnant in his scientific progress. Man’s scientific genius has been amazing. I think we have to look much deeper than that if we are to find the real cause of man’s problems and the real cause of the world’s ills today. If we are to really find it I think we will have to look in the hearts and souls of men.”


  • I can forgive the murder of everyone in an apartment building

    I see you are all for killing and murder of people as you dog-whistle that you want to see people killed in their homes. That “everyone” in a multi-family building, mass murder and violence are your dehumanization messages on social machines of lemmy.

    I can forgive the murder of everyone in an apartment building

    People like you and Pete Hegseth find the power of computers and HDTV Fox News electric media platforms in their hand and technology systems to attack and dehumanize and promote anti-intellectualism with snark and shit-talk to dehumanize those that you disagree with, trying to divide people into groups to classify who is sub-human compared to other groups, instead of promoting that all people are equal and that hate is a common problem no matter the race, nation, time period, geography, religion, eye color, skin color, hair color, height, gender, etc.

    “Most people can’t stand up for their convictions, because the majority of people might not be doing it. See, everybody’s not doing it, so it must be wrong. And since everybody is doing it, it must be right. So a sort of numerical interpretation of what’s right. But I’m here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It’s wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It’s wrong in America, it’s wrong in Germany, it’s wrong in Russia, it’s wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it’s wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
