By now Americans' feeble protests against their fascist regime are just tedious. Who exactly do they think to impress with their outrage and little no kings protests?

Yesterday everyone hated Bezos, but today: 'Oooh, the Met Gala'. Americans aren't serious people.

The good people of the US, a country with a long history of violence against people who did it no wrong, seem extraordinary squeamish when it comes to standing up to their own fascists. How these people ever convinced themselves they were the dogs gonads is beyond me.

Dear White US folk, frankly, I don't care about your gas prices, your food prices or any of that. Your country is needlessly killing people and making a mess for the whole world. Stop whining about it and do something perhaps a bit more than get together once a year to say you don't like kings.

White US citizens, by and large, very much seem to be the larges, dumbest, most racist, stupidest, most misogynist, group of white people on earth.

Seeing the callousness with which Trump and Hegseth et al. discuss other people's lives, I am seriously beginning to wonder when, morally and ethically, their lives become forfeit. We felt it was ok to kill some big wig Nazis after '45. Nobody cares about the ayatollah. Would anybody mourn Putin?

The thing that stands out most here is that it proves my point that white people swear they aren’t racist as long as they aren’t actively stringing one of us from a tree.

It would seem today is a good day for blocking people who finally found an excuse for someone to say that one word. I wonder how many are going to check if they may have a little bit of Tourette's themselves, just in case they've been holding back, when all that time...

It baffles me that, while people see that Stephen Miller is a horrible human being, they are shy to conclude he has an Auschwitz fetish: Stephen Miller wants to recreate the Holocaust. And by the look of it the US is going to allow him to do so. #StephenMiller#Auschwitz#Holocaust

Americans make me laugh: they're talking about how difficult it will be for Trump to run Venezuela, when they should be talking about how the whole thing is unconstitutional and against international law. The citizens of the US are not serious people. #Trump#Venezuela#US#Americans

Racism was invented by White Europeans. And to this day they are the sole beneficiaries of it. That's just history. But it lives today. I know because I'm white. For all the trouble I've had in my life, none of it was because of the colour of my skin or the lineage of my ancestors.

If someone is a racist, they're a misogynist and vice versa: if someone is a misogynist, they're a racist. They just always, always go together. And if a person is such, they also don't like people somewhere in LGBTQ. So be sure, if someone makes a joke about blondes, they'll make jokes about POC

I'm here to listen to good people who know stuff I don't. If someone really misses the ball, I block. No matter who follows them. On occasion, I proffer my own opinions and expect to be blocked in turn by those who find my views unpalatable.

Looking in from the outside, I admit I don't really understand the fascination with Mamdani. I get the arguments for and against. But he's not Cuomo or Adams. He does seem to have pulled a big one on Trump. Seems hilarious to me. But now some people feel betrayed. Help me out here. #MamdaniTrump

"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure," Clarence Darrow. I didn't know who Clarence Darrow was until I looked for this quote, which I'd come across some while ago, because the spirit of it seems... suited to the times.

Looking in from the outside, I cannot help but notice a lot of people feel very bad for Kirk's two children. His two children are alive. Unlike, for instance those kids that got killed at Evergreen High, about whom those same people are eerily quiet. The US harbours some mighty strange people.

Chris van Dam @plurkh.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Everybody condemning political violence. Fine it should be condemned. But, as far as I'm aware, they don't know who did it, so we don't know the motive for the shooting. May just be someone pissed of at Kirk because he stole their parking space.

Chris van Dam @plurkh.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

No one's called the disappearing of people in broad daylight 'political violence'. Or even the storming of the US Capitol. Or the killing of 11 people on a boat. Or the murder of two Democrats. (Well, a little bit perhaps, but not for longer than two days)

It has occurred to me several times over the last however many decades, that 'stupid' is not the opposite of 'intelligent'. Today I wondered if that had ever occurred to anyone else. And of course it had. I found this article, I thought it was an interesting read: psyche.co/ideas/why-so...

With the vaccination mandates under attack, it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world is going to deny people from the US entry into their countries without extensive health checks. No tourism for the US, no tourism from the US. A very effective isolationist policy.

I understand people are waiting for the obituary. I do too. However, it would also piss me off: he'd have lived his entire evil life without ever having been held accountable. Also, consider how quickly, and efficiently, the US gvmt has been dismantled. You cannot seriously believe that was him.

Chris van Dam @plurkh.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

I have compared the current regime in the US with Nazi Germany. Because the parallels are obvious and the rhetoric is the same. However, Goebbels, Himmler, the industrialists needed Hitler for the thing to work. The P2025 people don't need Trump anymore. His downfall/ demise will not change a thing.
