I know I'm pretty much alone on that, but it annoys me that this person is getting so much attention again.

Edit: Ok, I'm not entirely alone with this.

You’re not alone. He thrives this way. People need to not be complacent.

Sounds complicated. Maybe we can make it easier to do by sticking our heads in something to block our vision?

On one hand, yeah I wish I wouldn't have to hear about that piece of garbage ever again, but the mugshot is an exception because this little bit of justice feels like getting a nice bottle of cold water after being lost in a desert for years.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If the mug shot is a nice cold bottle of water, his conviction is going to feel like that scene from Flashdance. My body is ready.

I'm not even in the USA. So half the time I'm like "what do I care"????

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tbh America has quite a high influence in our world so we should care at least a little bit

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Totally agree with @toastymedic. People in my country listen to news about American politics and get really worked up about it.

And I'm left wondering why they stress so much about it cos they can't change a thing to the matter. They cannot vote!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hardly. That's like me telling you that you should care about the politics of Britain or Australia.

Sure it might be mildly interesting to spectate, but its not like you should care much.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Only that the USA is an important global player while Australia and Britain, well... they are small fry. I prefer to have a US president who does not call climate change a hoax. Seriously, I can't understand how someone in their right mind wouldn't care.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yea, if you think his actions didn't effect the globe you aren't paying attention. For example, if he took covid more seriously, other nations would have been more likely to as well. Pulling out of the Paris climate accords has a worldwide effect on climate policy. His close ties with Putin set the stage for the war in Ukraine. That alone has effected everyone from energy and food costs, extra money and military supplies to support Ukraine, to setting precedent in the modern era on invading sovereign nations. I also think him getting elected in the first place gave a voice to and swung the political pendulum hard to the right globally. Had he not won, I don't think you'd see a new era of Nazis or their 'acceptance', you probably wouldn't have had brexit, and fewer far right groups winning elections.

This weary traveler definitely needs a rest. :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I care, because the influence of American politics in other nations politics is undeniable. The shockwaves, caused by Trump's antics, are perceived around the world. Some countries even had/have Trump likened figures in power. I feel like Maga straight up emboldened right wing parties around the world, to get out of the closet and be more verbatim about their cause.

My main worry is, that it's something that's being embraced by a steadily increasing, already big, number of the population, in many countries around the world.

We have a scary political trend here in Germany right now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

China and India. Nobody cares about indian politics. Lately some south american and african countries as well.

Britain or Australia don't have the means to start a nuclear war.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, I do care. We share a world, so some interest in other countries is healthy. Now I'm not super invested or anything, but I still care to some extent, on at least basic levels.

Literally exact same... This post was the second.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And people wonder how I know that Lemmy is all teenagers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

My knees certainly ain't teenagers anymore. Nor is my digestive system...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Check out [email protected] if you want to feel old. I'm going to turn 30 next year and most of them are too new for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Wait what? Last month Lemmy was "good because there's no teenagers" ???!

Ah man I really needed this, one from every 2 posts is about the mugshot

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

They're everywhere, I think they might be following me, oh what's that, someone's knocking at the door...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Is this picture from a game? Looks like something I might like to play.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Of course you'd like to play it. It's dark souls.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Wow, it looked like a screen grab from a text based adventure game or something 😂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Prepare to die

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Damn, this is now in my feed one of the first posts. Shouldn't it be after the mugshots. System error, lmao.

Looks like Lemmy has seen enough orange.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could look at them all day. I need no rest.
