    Guys this is kinda crossing the line into conspiracy theory territory and, to be frank, enables the whataboutism on the right. Generalized assertions based on “common sense” aren’t insightful or illuminating. Please stop.

        It’s just like, I get it and I do agree with the spirit of the post, but are we really going to let grandma-Facebook level memes be what this starts off as?

      Sorry miss chinabook(?), I just wanted to help a brand new community that was still empty yesterday. I know this post is low-effort but it was one of many. I’m going to step back so other content can make its way to the top. I look forward to your contributions in making this new lemmy community great.

      At some point you will realize you’re not considered equal in the eyes of the law or rulers of the country.

      When that happens you can join the rest of us in reality, until then please stop helping the enemy lest you get confused for them.

          … conforming to whatever billionaires say does not make you credible.

          It is a fact the US economy is built on consumer debt, there is more unsecured credit card debt in the US than the rest of the world combined.

          It is a fact the FDA directly, explicitly, and knowingly caused the opioid crisis.

            I agree with you completely, but the meme is making much more sweeping generalizations which are a bad look. It feels less like the substantive arguments in your comments and more like the Tea Party.

              It’s from shitter or bsky, There’s a character limit. It is, however, largely correct.

              The tea party had the right words, with the wrong intent, like the Nazi party when they pretended to be socialist. Libertarianism is a socialist ideology, the name was just coopted.
