I'm actually changing my mind about that. Fat bank accounts is the point, cruelty is the bonus.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The abuse-bouche, if you will

I generally don't like puns, but your comment was *chef's kiss

More and more evil shit every single day. This is vile.

Government-sanction cruelty

[–] penguin202124@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 days ago

What the fuck. What the actual fuck.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 50 points 3 days ago

Evil has found a wonderful home here in the United States. It sickens me that these are the people I call fellow Americans.

[–] Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 3 days ago

What the actual fuck. Who thinks like this? Psychopaths

[–] chrisbit@leminal.space 38 points 3 days ago

How anyone can take issue with calling this government 'fascist' is beyond me.

[–] don@lemm.ee 49 points 4 days ago

Fucking ghouls

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 4 days ago

snuff porn for dictators

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I just do not understand the reveling in cruelty.

Even if you believe America should be totally cleared of people there illegally, enjoying their suffering is just insane.

Of course, plenty of them don't want America to be cleared of them, because they wouldn't be able to hate them and enjoy their suffering. Which is what they really want.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

The top down cruelty is most likely an attempt to dehumanize these folks, probably because Americans are broadly fucking bizarre in that they will vote to fuck people over but would be willing to die for said people on a personal level. Dehumanizing folks is the best way to buffer that tendency from kicking in and causing trouble for them.

The fascists stormed the Capitol over made up bullshit and you're all just sitting here taking this.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

"the violent left" is a fantasy. I wish we had some balls like that.

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

A new low every ~~hour~~ minute.

[–] langis@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

This is so absolutely disturbing.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I personally prefer ASMR of the quiet swishing of a national razor when I'm looking to focus my brain. It makes me think happy thoughts about the current administration.

[–] regrub@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Does it happen to be the national razor of France?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

T'once was... it could also be America's national razor! It isn't in an exclusive relationship and seems open to exploring other partners.

[–] subignition@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago

Never thought I'd be wishing hell was real. This is evil.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sickening. I cannot wish enough ill upon republicans.

They're synonymous now

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Yes, that's what they said.

[–] BigTrout75@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

That's a short flight to Canada

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Question, ICE says they're deporting only "dangerous" illegal immigrants. Is this true?
