      Lmao fuck that, there’s nothing “better” to do. Why shouldn’t I be able to laugh at the people who have do to their psychotic actions are not only going to make my life hell but in the coming months they’d be glad if the government just straight up got rid of me. Tf?

      The time for compassion was a decade ago. They will never learn anyway.

        No one said anything about compassion. It’s everything to do with your mental state and getting off on the suffering of others with no meaningful results except a hyperlink

          Nah it’s catharsis, you’re acting like if things had gone the way they had wanted that me and people like me wouldn’t be suffering and they wouldn’t be laughing. There’s a level of relief knowing that their hate and stupidity splashed back onto them. It fills me with joy.

          I feel glee when people I hate suffer, it’s a new thing but I get why those Nazis enjoy it.

            I get it it’s catharsis, but with no meaningful action it’s meaningless and exist solely to pat you on the back and make you feel good leading back to my whole issue with this Lemmy and also the Reddit

              Why shouldn’t I feel good? why do I have to suffer constantly? The high road is worthless. infact the high road is how we ended up here, because 10-15 years ago we didn’t put these fuckers so far down they couldn’t get up.

              I will be laughing to my grave since I fully expect to get completely fucked up by the USG in the next six months. I don’t give a shit about “meaningful” actions as if I need to devote 24/7 of working my ass to the bone unfucking something that is fucked because we’ve had 8 years worth of traitors in government building up for this. You’re really going to push all of that on me and then say I can’t have any release of tension? lmao 💀

              Take your high road and shove it.

              Hey let me ask you something, why do the lefties always have to “do better” and the right wing can just be fucking insane psychopaths? How about let people fucking be.

      Dude, you’re responding to a post in “Leopards Ate My Face”. This is the intended place to point and laugh and people receiving the consequences of their actions with politics or otherwise.

      If you want political discourse there are lots of other Lemmy communities (subreddits) that do that. You’re figuratively walking into a pit latrine and complaining that it smells like shit in there. Yes, there is shit in a latrine. Does that need to be pointed out to you?

        Bro, I know exactly where the fuck I am. I used to visit this place without any agenda, but I noticed that I don’t feel better when I visit this place. I actually feel a lot worse and that nobody here really seems happy. They just seem very snarky and bitter. IE this place is a net negative for society and not a healthy mindset

          You do you mate, and let us do us. Block the place and move on.

          but I noticed that I don’t feel better when I visit this place.

          I can say the same. I used to usually enjoy most of the topics and news I see. I don’t anymore, but there’s a really good reason why.

          I actually feel a lot worse and that nobody here really seems happy. They just seem very snarky and bitter.

          You’re properly picking up on the fact that lots of us are really REALLY unhappy to see our democracy being dismantled around us and that the weakest of us are being preyed upon by the very government that is meant to protect them. This extends from legal asylum seekers, to our retirees getting roadblocks put in the way of their earned Social Security, to our Veterans being targeted for denial for the treatment of injuries they incurred defending our nation. Our rights, freedoms, and livelihoods are being eroded on a daily basis and our standing in the world went from “Begrudging respect” even from our worst enemies to “Full blown Clown Show”

          IE this place is a net negative for society and not a healthy mindset

          I disagree with you here. The fact that reality is reflected here, even if it is negative, is a good thing. The alternative is a censored sanitized version where all the actions and Constitutional violations of the state are being hidden from us and we’d only discover the true decline of our nation when they finally come knocking on our own door far too late for us make our voices of opposition heard to alter the course we’re currently on.

          If you want full-on escapism, I hear reddit is letting Elon Musk ban people for saying disparaging things about him. They’re also banning anyone that even suggests anything related to Luigi Mangioni. That sounds like a place where you won’t hear anything negative only presenting a saccharine sweet version of reality instead. Good luck to you if you go that direction. I hope you don’t leave here though. We’re better together with reality than with our heads in the sand.

      People made bad choices. Its cathartic to see some of the people responsible getting a taste of consequences. God knows it doesn’t happen enough

        I actually believe it’s extremely unhealthy to constantly point and laugh at your enemy instead of doing real things. This Lemmy and also this Reddit make people feel happy pointing and laughing at other people instead of doing any real meaningful shit.
