Germany just had a sweeping far right election, and Argentina has had a libertarian at the helms for a bit now. A ton of south Asian countries have had hardcore conservative views for a while now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada shifts right next election. There are basically few corners of the earth where populism/right wing ideology isn’t growing and expanding. This isn’t an American education system problem, it’s world wide. The political elites in your country just have you convinced that it’s America that’s now the problem, which then creates a new wave of populism in your country. It’s a self eating snake.
Not that I’m disagreeing that our slapping of allies isn’t problematic. This is just something that is clearly growing everywhere and the people of Lemmy love saying “America bad” as the same exact shit is happening in your country. If you’re an American expand your news beyond our shores. The grass is unfortunately turning to shit everywhere. We’re in for a rough decade together.
Germany just had a sweeping far right election
you can't say 20% a 'sweeping'. The situation is worse at other places. And thanks to true multi party democracy, AfD probably won't be in government anyway.
I hope so for Germanys sake. A 9% increase from the last election, for a party that’s 12 years old… that’s pretty sweeping to me. Not to mention that it’s more so the southern parts of Germany that have an even stronger percentage of AfD support.
Again, I’m not wanting a right shift for these countries, but it’s become clear that things are. We could stick our head in the dirt and say it’s only America, but that wouldn’t be true, and that’s what I was getting at with my comment.

It was considered sweeping when 31% of Americans voted for Trump
The US is literally in control of fascist now, it's not nearly as bad in Germany, not that it's good but there is a big difference

Let's be clear here, the right extremist party got over 20% which is really bad for sure, but the mid-right party rules out working with them in a coalition no matter what. That's rather different from where the rest of the republicans and many democrats fall over themselves to do whatever the lunatic fringe says. Further, the American billionaires are strong influencers of these trends in other countries. The core of the disease is the USA even when there are symptoms everywhere.
The mid-right said they wouldn’t work with them, but as we have seen that means absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ~~SDP~~ CDU broke that and started working with AfD. Maybe it’s just me being cynical.
I’m not going to disagree that our power projection from the US isn’t a power boost to other right wing governments. I just think that to claim this is solely a result of poor US education when we can see this happening elsewhere in so called better educated countries means it isn’t really the predictor they’re claiming it to be.

Didn't the German election end well? AfD isn't in charge, and the winner is pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia, and pro-EU independence of the US.
AfD walked away in second, but jumped by nearly 9% over the last federal election. That’s a huge gain in momentum.

Shedders? Do these people think vaccines are contagious?
Yes.
Vaccines can shed (sometimes we have to add that as an seondqry endpoint to clinical trials), but not even remotely in the way these idiots are saying.
Well, the grifters don't. The multitude of morons they're scamming do.
Stupid as it sounds, yes

Gotta love people who don’t want to take a vaccine that was designed by the absolute top experts in the field and extensively tested, but have no problem popping pills some grifter on the interweb sold them.
We're fucked. This guy is now in charge of the FBI and now has the power to investigate and charge people with federal crimes.
But more important, the power not to investigate people. Wink wink
Does anyone else see a limp dicknballs as the logo on the pill?
Hahah, I didn't before you pointed it out. It's perfect, a small dick and a loose old man sack as the logo for "warrior essentials" manly alpha man supplement scam.

Grifts all the way down.
we went from demanding to ban congress members from owning stocks, to whatever the fuck the president family and all cabnit grifting their own scams and grifts of memecoins and fake suppliments shamlessly in plain view
I was planning on starting a website that will "use your device's wifi to purge any 5g nanitesfrom your body" with a "cleansing signal" for only $19.99. (For entertainment purposes only - there are no health benefits guaranteed or claimed by this site)
In musk's deregulatory hellscape, the disclaimer is likely not even necessary now.
You forgot to mention AI somewhere in there.
Faux (hopefully I don't get banned like on reddit) news hates AI, so I don't think that would help

Alright I'm not sure how its even possible this is a product, there is absolutely no mechanism where this is even remotely possible. This is just straight up fraud.
It's a supplement. No fda rules about it.
