  • well… it’s not a good strategy if you’re lying your ass off, it happens to be true, AND you conspired with your lawyers to commit the crime you’re accused of.

    now, Jack Smith (and every reasonable person on earth, the more clever dolphins, cetaceans, chimps, corvidae, octopods, and a couple of transdimentional mice) knows this is the case, so this is definitely a terrible strategy. It’s also patently Trump to blame anyone else for his own actions but himself. Predictable, even.




  • I’m really not experiencing that— because there isn’t The Algorithm feeding you Content™, lemmy is more reliant on you subscribing to specific communities and for them to be active. Personally, I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, but, likewise, I get a lot of active content. Im able to, in a satisfactory way, replicate the experience that I had on reddit— minus 99.9% of the toxicity and hostility, of course.

    You may simply find that it’s a mater of fine-tuning your experience here, although the platform itself is still improving. I remember Reddit in its early days, and it, too, took time to improve.





  • And why do you bring Argentina as if the US is free of guilt, you did much worse, and you talk to me about whatabutism when you didn’t even have any single consequence?

    Argentina borrowed money from the IMF, not the US, so the US isn’t involved. You’re just attacking the US because you don’t have a defense for Argentina’s actions, and you think it will hurt my feelings. it’s a whataboutism.

    Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in “what about…?”) denotes in a pejorative sense a procedure in which a critical question or argument is not answered or discussed, but retorted with a critical counter-question which expresses a counter-accusation. From a logical and argumentative point of view it is considered a variant of the tu-quoque pattern (Latin ‘you too’, term for a counter-accusation), which is a subtype of the ad-hominem argument.

    It was not an agreement, it was a debt trap with a corrupt politician and an economic weaponization of debt, that is the only purpose of the IMF and you know it. It wasn’t our failure, it was something your country does to fuck everyone up.

    lmao, again, Argentina borrowed money from the IMF, not the US. get your facts straight, lol
