I don’t think you’re understanding what The Great Filter is.
The Great Filter is the collective human behavior that will doom us to an unlivable world. This is stuff like anthropogenic climate change, overhunting/overfishing, and nuclear war. Stuff that keeps humanity from elevating itself beyond a Type-0 Civilization by destroying what we need to survive on our own planet.
What Trump is suggesting is genocide and state violence. This has jack shit to do with the survival of humanity, and everything to do with the survival of living breathing human beings that will be murdered by fascists.
This isn’t some inevitable natural law of the universe. If anything, that suggestion is egregiously offensive and harmful. There are things we can do right now to prevent it. This is direct human malice that will only affect the poorest and most marginalized people, and while leaving the fascists and their allies unharmed.
Put down your sci-fi novels and pick up a history book before you make yourself complicit in what’s happening.
Donald Trump: “I will literally do a Kristallnacht, and kill queer and ethnic minorities with impunity using a standing army. I want to use the police to extrajudicially slaughter undesirable citizens.”
Media: “Donald Trump thinks the movie The Purge is real! 🤪 What a goofball! 🤣”
I’m not saying that Republicans are well-adjusted or that their beliefs are defensible. I’m saying that they aren’t mentally disabled, and you shouldn’t use disability as a cudgel to bash in people you don’t like. Stupidity isn’t a disability, nor is evil, and I have no intent of treating them like they are.
You either want to protect Republican beliefs as a byproduct of a disability, which to that I say: fuck that, I intend to hold Republicans responsible for what they say and do.
Or you want disabled people to be punished for being disabled, because you think mental disability is a trait worthy of condemnation, which to that I say: fuck off you fucking fascist, disabled people deserve compassion and support.
I believe that Republicans are of sound mind, and are either extremely stupid or extremely evil. I offer zero forgiveness for those things. They should be held responsible for it, and not given the easy cop-out of being “disabled”.
If it were a disability, I wouldn’t hate them, I would pity them. I don’t pity them, I hate them, because everything that’s wrong with them is their fucking fault.
“dismiss any criticism of Joe Biden”
“Voting for anyone but Biden”
“We’ll tokenize anyone from unrepresented groups who are in favor of Biden”
“We’ll blame marginalized communities if Biden loses.”

lmao, what do Tankies and Fascists have in common? They still think Joe Biden is running for president. 😂
“The president can bypass Congress when it comes to funding a genocide.”
Joe Biden has not bypassed Congress to support Israel. Congress keeps voting to help Israel, because, regrettably, Israel has bipartisan support. However, between the two ruling parties (of which one will win the election in November), one is far more interested in ending this conflict peacefully.
“…but not when it comes to codifying Roe v. Wade.”
This can only be done through Congress. An EO will be toothless and get struck down instantly. With a Republican majority in the House, Congress will not pass this right now.
“Project 2025 has been in motion since the 70’s and 80’s.”
First of all, no it hasn’t. Second of all, if you’re gonna choose when something started, pick only one starting point, because something cannot start in two different decades simultaneously. Easy to misspeak when you’re just making shit up as you go I guess…
“Already experience Fascism under Biden.”
Good thing he’s not going to be president next year no matter what. I also am curious what exactly you think “Fascism” means in this context…
“Gaslight ourselves into thinking life under Biden is better.”
Good news: He’s stepping down in January no matter what. So you can stop talking about him…
“Despite the fact that we’re all struggling to feed our families and pay our bills.”
And this is Biden’s / Democrats’ fault how? They’re trying to forgive hundreds of billions in student loans that are financially holding back several generations of Americans, and what party is preventing it?
“Liberals won’t watch gore videos from Palestine.”
Yeah, no shit. Why is that where you draw the line? I don’t need to traumatize myself to support Palestine.
(Some whiny shit about social media that doesn’t acknowledge that it is corporate controlled speech)
Log the fuck off and touch grass. Nobody cares about your Instagram experiences.
“Liberals are destroying the world with their private planes.”
Rich people aren’t voting (D)…
“Liberals will criticize terror attacks targeting civilians”
Yeah, and it’s worrisome that you don’t.

Tankietube
Tankies are no different from Fascists. Their entire worldview is built on lies they wish were true, and they both want another Trump term…
You misunderstand. They hate immigrants and queers so much that they think that all of their problems will disappear if they elect the guy promising to purge society of undesirables.
Same story for every rise of Fascism ever witnessed.
I think the real issues here are:
So basically, if you’re a woman, and you hear a guy list these requirements, what you really hear is:
Honestly, I would judge any woman that dated a man this trashy.
Good thing the picture I’m responding to has a modular dash where the AC is a permanent part of the car, and the radio can be replaced…
I feel like you’ve hallucinated someone saying “the radio and the AC are the same thing”.
Sounds like it would be better to fight against this form of disenfranchisement rather than rolling over and saying “we have to split the vote if we want to run in other elections”.
Or, at least, if they’re going to split the vote to maintain ballot access, they could try actually using that ballot access to run candidates in smaller elections.
But they don’t…
The thing that really gets me about this story is it was an ESL School. The students were mostly adults learning to speak English. Not only should an ESL school understand the English language well enough to know what a homophone is, homophones are an extremely important concept for non-native English speakers because that kind of word can cause lexical confusion.
This teacher was fired for doing his job correctly.
I’m disgusted by people who use disability as a pejorative.
Attack Republicans all you want, but drag marginalized people into your insults and you can go fuck yourself.
Republicanism isn’t a mental disability. It’s a moral failure.
It’s hyperbole. They were mocking you for using “mentally disabled” as an insult. You’re the one talking like a conservative right now, using disability as a pejorative.
It’s not true when Conservatives say “Liberalism is a mental disorder”, just as it’s not true when Liberals say “Conservatism is a mental disorder”. The only thing that’s true in that context is that supporters of both major parties have no problem throwing people with mental disabilities under-the-bus over politics.
Republicans are stupid, they are ignorant, they are hateful; but none of those things constitutes a disability. If they did, I would have compassion like I would for any other disabled person.

The strap-on hallucination machine at home: https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Ganzfeld-Goggles/
$3,500 on a toy is not “pretty expensive”, it’s 3 months salary at minimum wage. It’s 7 times as expensive as the Quest 3, which actually has a user base, and 11 times as expensive as the upcoming Quest 3S.
It certainly pays a couple of mortgage payments.
Yeah, but if you’re interested in running an LLM faster than 1 token per minute, RAM won’t matter. You’ll need as much VRAM as you can get.
Yeah, sure, if it was an adversary like the U.S. government and not a Russian ally like Elon Musk…
The oil execs thank you for giving them soup while punching climate protesters in the mouth.
Welcome to Lemmy.ML, where “bitch” and the n-word are equally profane, and the admins render both as removed so you never fully know what’s going on. If you want to have a better time, find an instance that isn’t run by tankies. I made the mistake of choosing ML as my first Lemmy instance, and I didn’t realize how much better Lemmy is when you’re not under their thumb until I left.
