Thanks joe
Someone hasn’t studied any American history.
You are right, and no will to do it lol
Genocide, slavery, civil war, segregation, imperialism, two nuclear bombs, unjustified invasions, civil unrest, etc.
A governor getting all huffy that he can’t murder immigrants and their children isn’t even close to the darkest time in American history.
You still commit some of those things nowadays 🤣
Only on weekends, and special holidays though.
What an incredibly obvious Republican planted article. Praising Abbott? Haha what a joke.
sucks to have inherited a complete disaster that is the ‘republican agenda’.
conservatives: ‘watch me destroy this thing’ also conservatives: ‘look at this thing thats destroyed!! doo something!’
Also conservatives: we’ll intentionally break something, publicly prevent you from fixing it, blame you for it being broken, and our media will ensure our voters never know that we did all this - it’s all your fault!
Oh yeah, so much darker than when we used to own people as property.

Sorry, America is collectively responsible for it’s slavery past which has evolved into today’s institutional racism. Even you.
Even you.
I’m not even American, relax
You can’t vote for KOSA if you aren’t American. So are you being disingenuous in this thread or that other thread?
Why are all your posts about US politics then?
Why are all your posts about US politics then?
I find it refreshing to explore diverse subjects in my posts. Personal preferences, you know? :)
Anything particular on your agenda that you’d like to discuss?
There is no diversity in your posts - they are all US Politics (apparently, from afar and with an axe to grind)
Okay, then I wasn’t talking about you when I said ‘we’ and there’s still nothing suspicious about it.
Sus
poser

hahah k. had no idea that calling out person who habitually pretends to be something he is not is against the rules. Sorry.
Or when a million people died of Covid with the president actively undermining public health measures
Or when they had a mob invade the capitol to kill anyone who wasn’t loyal to the leader
Or taking away Hispanic immigrants’ children from their parents forever because they committed a misdemeanor immigration violation
Or nakedly power-grabbing the Supreme Court to undo abortion rights which this guy somehow blames Biden for
Or threatening election workers and officials if they don’t produce the right outcomes
Or literal rape by the president
Or the wholesale murder of CIA assets because the president leaked their identities
Or project 2025
What am I missing? I’m sure there’s stuff just as big I have simply forgotten.
Japanese internment camps, government doing medical experiments on their own people, funding extremists to topple democracies, creating a crack epidemic to both fund the toppling of democracies abroad and to put a whole bunch of black people in prison as they became addicted. There’s a whole bunch of war crimes as well, I guess. Oh, and bombing labour protests from warplanes.
Oh yeah. I was just thinking of the couple years before Biden arrived. But yeah they said darkest chapter ever I guess, so we could talk about School of Americas teaching people how to cut civilian’s heads off and use them to terrorize the others, or starving Iraqi kids with sanctions and saying well shit happens y’know, or Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib, or slavery, or…
But yeah that Biden’s a real nasty character I guess.
What an absolutely ignorant statement.
Darker than when we killed 1.5 million of our own people?
https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/civil-war-casualties
Or when we attempted to exterminate Native American tribes?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears
Or the decade we had 23% unemployment?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression
Or when we destroyed the lives of untold private citizens based on unfounded accusations?
Or lost millions of lives in a global pandemic?
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11875246/
Or lost hundreds of thousands of lives in a different pandemic?

What an absolutely ignorant statement.
It’s not a statement, it’s an article (:
The title is a statement and it’s quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve read in years, and that’s coming after two terms of W. Bush and one term of Trump, so that’s saying something.

I get where you’re coming from, but throwing around terms like “dumb” doesn’t really help the discussion. It also seems there’s a bit of exaggeration going on.
How about we zoom in on the specific points we disagree on and have a more balanced conversation?
The exaggeration is in the premise. “Darkest chapter in history.”
No, no it fucking isn’t. There’s nothing to discuss there. It’s not even the darkest chapter this century, much less “in history”.
9/11 when there was a real possibility we were going to nuke someone by the end of the day was darker.
The 2008 financial crisis when people sincerely though their financial futures just evaporated before their eyes was darker.
Sure.
It’s incredibly dumb to say that Biden’s presidency is the darkest chapter in history when contrasted against:
(insert bullet points)
Each zoomed in bullet point in isolation is so mind-bogglingly dumb that it’s hard to see how any of this got published in an official periodical at all. Which bullet point were you arguing was less dark than Biden’s presidency specifically?
You commented with your alt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am a totally different person from the person you were talking with before. Might be hard to believe, but multiple people disagree with you.
Totally!
Weirdly, my mod account is my alt. My original lemmy account wasn’t on lemmy.world, I had to create this one when I was asked to be a mod to avoid any possible cross-instance moderating/federating difficulty.
Hi. Another definitely an alt here to also tell you that it was a dumb thing to say.
Your username certainly checks out.
Under Trump it will likely be worse.
Pretty hard to do it worse but possible
Thats a big NO
It’s so sad that people like you derive joy from being willfully ignorant. It’s easy to just call you stupid and be done with it, but you’re so stupid that it’s concerning. I can’t imagine anyone in your life just letting you be as ignorant as you are, but then again you likely don’t have anyone worthwhile in your life to begin with. Poor kid.
I’m sure you’re directing that at the original author of the article, which is totally allowed, and not at the submitter of the article, which is not allowed under rule 3 and would get your comment removed.
I’m sure it will get removed. I don’t care. Fuck that guy.
I was TRYING to give you plausible deniability. :)

This is being reported as “disinformation”, but it is so hilariously, ludicrously wrong, and been torn apart in the comments for being so, I’m allowing it for now because it’s important for people to see the counter arguments.
