  • Europe hasn’t politically recovered from the last few refugee crises, nor have national collectives been able to properly integrate or adjust to the fact they’re there, it’s been ran as a pressure point, and adding even more pressure will certainly enable those politicians to hit this button with greater effect.

    I don’t fucking understand why no European leader is looking at what Israel is doing with realpolitik and go “why the fuck are you creating another migrant crisis”, unless that is exactly what they want, to get power for themselves. Urgh.


  • Sorry to jump in on an unrelated thread; that last reply you made to me (about your tally) is under a post that has now been deleted. You mentioned you’re gonna make a final tally and a mega thread on election day; will those be in politics@lemmy.world?

    Just confirming here, since I don’t wanna touch the ghost reply in my inbox, since lemmy doesn’t seem to like that situation very much









  • It’s more explicit, on TV, in sound-bite chunks.

    In a world where everything revolves around pushing the most information inside a short attention span, this can matter a lot. A clip can go viral, become a meme, become repeated and played again and again, it doesn’t matter what someone did over a few months if everything they hear about that person is what they did in a couple of seconds.

    Having trump calling someone the N-word, on video, would become a lightning rod of confirmation that people can shove into others’ faces, and show them that “do you want to vote for this man”? It doesn’t take 1 hour of explanation, it takes 10 seconds of a sideline TikTok video.
