  • Biden campaigned on similar promises and ideals like resolving student debt and improving the economy. Even personally relevant promises like creating a public health jobs corps (relevant to my degree and field of study). The only thing he sufficiently accomplished were the initial vaccination efforts, but it’s as if we stopped having an actual president into and after 2022: The filthy rich managed to get exponentially richer with this war-supply economy and stock market presidency. My student debt is still a burden in the back of my mind and all of my available graduate-entry jobs are either severely underpaid or shilled out to robots that also vet my applications. Until the war profiteer and stock market billionaires actually pay their fair share (which they should have been a few years ago) or provide citizens with jobs that can sustain a healthy living, any good socialist promises that are made are flat-out lies because senility and flacid mental acuity won’t even be a valid excuse anymore.



  • Which is a surface level observation, as most of the “military spending” went into the pockets of the corrupt at every echelon of leadership. Everyone in power wanted to skim off of their alloted funding, which prevented it from actually being utilized as intended. Blaming the decline solely on military spending is a stretch, just like the other comment trying to compare the 1953 Soviet Union to Nazi Germany a decade prior.

    America has fallen from the top 20 happiest countries because the senile leadership of Biden prioritized war profits over citizen welfare and infrastructure. The caricature here exemplifies that point but let’s get caught up over the pedantics of a failed nation instead.



  • If it’s the classic Watchmen comic, there’s not a lot wrong with it aside from the unnecessary pirate interludes and a few parts of the ending sequence (not spoiling anything).

    The deceased Comedian is supposed to be seen as a horrible guy and that’s portrayed well. There’s a lot of political intrigue and philosophy that desires provoking thoughts as well, so it’s more of a mature read rather than pure shock value like a lot of fiction media nonsense these days.





  • Lemmy is just as antisocially left-leaning as reddit. I was glad when Biden facilitated Covid vaccination but then everything stagnated for the rest of the four years. I’m not giving them four (or eight!!) more years of war monetization through a puppet president so that their corporate supporters can grow fatter while American citizens and infrastructure continues to suffer. Trump’s stimulus checks were the greatest support that I received towards my student loans and I’m proud to support him.
