Biden’s office announced his illness Sunday afternoon.
Countdown to Trump saying something deplorable. 10…9…8…
Damn, didn’t even get to finish the countdown.
Somehow I don’t think you are joking. 😢
I stomached looking at his truth social account so you don’t have to:
Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.
I guess some pr person has his phone today. He’ll probably say something stupid in an interview later.
I checked the Conservative subreddit to see what their reaction was and it’s pretty sympathetic. This made me laugh though

As if this isn’t the most basic norm of the presidency?
Has any other president trashed an ex presidents diagnosis (or something similar)?

Cancer doesn’t care about ideology, but it sure seems like one ideology in the US cares about giving you cancer and denying treatment for it.
If cancer could vote, it would vote Republican.

You are an angel! Yes it’s written by an educated and classy person. Not him.
Yeah. Turns out he posted on twitter last night, less than three hours from the OP’s countdown:
What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???
I should note that there is no such thing as stage five cancer, only 1-4. And Jill Biden’s doctorate is in education.
I thought that was his son? Or did he retweet it?
Those were his words while retweeting something else.
Kinder response than half of Lemmy, even if he didn’t write it.
Yeah the comments ITT are pretty awful. I’m no fan of Biden, but some of the comments here are depraved.
Aiding and abetting a genocide is depraved.
Going on national TV and lying about seeing “pictures of 40 beheaded babies” is depraved.
Celebrating when a war criminal gets prostate cancer? Not depraved at all in my opinion. He deserves much worse.
Aiding and abetting a genocide is depraved.
Agreed.
Going on national TV and lying about seeing “pictures of 40 beheaded babies” is depraved.
Agreed.
He deserves much worse.
Agreed.
Celebrating when a war criminal gets prostate cancer? Not depraved at all in my opinion.
Hard disagree.
You can acknowledge that he’s an awful person while refraining from celebrating his misfortune.
If someone deserves punishment, celebrating that punishment is basically just hatred. I might want to get that looked at.
lol yup no way t wrote that himself.
Yeah, there is absolutely no way he wrote that!
fuck, i prayed for this but it hit the wrong president
Watch your aim dude!
Ugh, first that kid only getting his ear and now THIS?
do better
deleted by creator
This is why some religions point themselves before the praying starts.
Tbf, Trump’s health is shrouded in so much subterfuge that you could have gotten the right president but we just don’t know it.
I mean, given the fact that this affected Joe Biden up until this announcement, and no medical examiner announced it previously, it does seem plausible.
Naaa there are just two buttons and both of them can be pressed.
I would bungee jump on them.
biden is a scumbag, always has been pimp for lobbyist and aipac cancer. you murder kids for money this is what he should get and hopefully worse in afterlife.
Fuck these down voters.
No harm done
metastasis to the bone
Yeah, he’s not making it.
The guy’s also 82, so it’s not like he has a long road ahead of him regardless of this.
I’ve seen what chemo does to young, healthy people. Joe ain’t that.
While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.
Feels like more of the same strategy of downplaying Biden’s symptoms. I bet when he dies they’ll deny it for a few days.
I don’t disagree that there is a strategy of downplaying not just Biden’s, but every politician’s health conditions.
I used to have this absolutely incredible writing professor, who, at 85, told us on the first day of class that he was dying, and had been for 4 years. He even had a blog about his reflections on mortality that he invited us to read. He had prostate cancer. I don’t remember the details, but they couldn’t operate to remove it or do chemo, but it was the kind that is hormone sensitive. They gave him a drug that destroyed his body’s ability to produce testosterone, so the cancer just stopped growing. He died at 90 - 9 years after his diagnosis. 10% extra life for him.
No two people and prognosis’ are alike but the possibility exists they might be telling the truth about managing it.
Some people just defy the odds sometimes, my grandpa was supposed to die 5 or 6 times before he finally did. Multiple times the doctors told us they could no longer do anything for him, only for him to recover and get into the same situation with another issue some years later.
He lived on borrowed time ever since my mom was born yet lived to see his first grand-grandchild born some 30+ years later.
Toward what end? I don’t think you’re thinking this through.
Evil conspiracy because of evil conspiracy, obviously.
Because his underlings have been downplaying his health issues for the last several years and that’s what they’re used to doing.
Removed by mod
the form is still hormone sensitive so its treatable, to an extent, obvious with metasis is lower, but prostate usually have good prognosis, but that depends other factors.
much like breast cancers that are hormone sensitive, they are treatable, the ones that triple negative or the rare IBC those are very aggressive and they are not affected by anti-hormone therapy.
I heard recently it’s incredibly common for men to get diagnosed with prostate cancer and then just die normally from something else. Likely the same happens with him
It should have happened to Trump. Not that Biden is a good guy, but it would be nice if Trump died of an ass related illness.
I’m not convinced Trump is healthy. I bet he has a plethora of health issues but the paid-off doctors aren’t releasing the information.
I mean, we know his health report was a sham. The dude reported that Trump only has like 5% body fat. Even the most shredded body builders struggle to hit 5%.
lol 5% body fat. fucking hilarious.
Can you cite the source for that? Because that claim simply could not have been made without sounding like a goddamn moron.
It’s hard to not sound like a moron when you’re an absolute moron
Even if it was true, too little body fat comes with its own bag of health issues. (Metabolism, cardiovascular, vitamin uptake, brain function…)
That was satire.
This is so like medieval times where we just are praying that the king dies.
He won’t ever get cancer or get sick or catch a disease. He will be “poisoned by the radical left” and Maggots will say “they’ve gone too far” and calls to ban the party from the shithole MAGAs will come out along the words “treason” being thrown out there.
If he goes the fuck away from old age (which is more likely based on how reality works) he will be “assassinated.”
No matter how his end will be, there will be calls to prosecute and execute “traitors responsible.” If he does become president for life the “traitor” will be coincidentally the candidate on the opposing party. That’s if by that point if we even have elections a anymore. He could be geriatric in a fucking wheelchair and they will say this mark my words.
Because they know after trump they will be utterly fucked to legally be elected back to power. (At least I hope)
Wait I thought he was built like an NFL all star

It has already metastasized in his bones, so it’s much more aggressive than most prostate cancers. After metastasizing there, three 5-year survival rate is about 33% with a median survival time of 21 months. But it’s also very rare for it to have already spread elsewhere before being caught, so I’m assuming that means that this is even more aggressive than normal and that 21 months would be optimistic. But I’m not a medical professional, so I can’t say how valid this assumption is.
Do you think Trump will just be cheezing. Do you think that the cheeseburger king could keep his mouth shut about it? Or will he just be so tacky? We are such a trashy country. It’s so funny and scary.
deleted by creator
yes, but for most of those men it’s a cancer they die with, rather than one they die from.
its slow growing from what ive heard, but biden had a aggressive type, which would be different, since aggressive types usually have different mutations and genetics compared to the “slow growing ones”. even with something like melanoma, there are more than one type: nodular, subungul,etc. some cancers can be indentified by the type of gene mutations they have thats specific to that cancer

I know it’s possible, but I also get the impression he’s going to outlive all of us somehow.
It’s that pesky top-of-the-line health care he has access to.
What if I stick my finger up my ass? Can I check it myself? Cause I just can’t afford the doctor bill. I heard about the guy that took out his own appendix. I feel like this is a little bit less invasive and a little kinky. What do you think?
Putting my hopes on infected hemorrhoids
He probably got a dirty ass.
Both of them are going to be on the elevator down when their time comes.
Their only chance is in making something nearly impossible happen so that their destination is frozen over when they get there.
ass related illness
Now there’s a phrasing…
With all the ass kissing his cabinet does, he’s sure to get something. Probably why he stays away from MTG these days.
“Yoav Galant is a pretty good guy.”

Why can’t the current president get aggressive cancer? Everyone would love that (although I would pity the cancer).
With all the best doctors the presidents have, they discover it only at the fourth stage?
I’m a lowly peasant and my work let me do a yearly blood+pee test, I assumed that for presidents it would be something like a weekly checkup
It’s likely that they knew a long time ago but they are just now announcing it. This would probably also explain why he was so mentally foggy or, seeming like he had dementia. Many cancer drug drugs can do that toyou.
If that’s the case he was even more wrong about running than everyone assumed.
Somebody had to step up and save us from Bernie Sanders
Not even a funny joke.
When all the joy in life is gone, I’ll take any joke that eeks just a little bit of dopamine out of my brain.
… yeah, I feel that bud.
I’d assume that played a huge role in him choosing to step down.
This was exactly my first thought.
And if so, that’s a double “fuck you” to Joe and everyone on his staff trying to keep this shit under wraps.
He should have just resigned the goddamn Presidency when he was first diagnosed JFC
Yeah if he was incapacitated because of drugs he should have let Kamala take over.
he had covid, at that time too.
That makes it worse not better…
cancers can grow very quickly in the short amount of time, only takes weeks for a tumor to grow large suddenly if its an aggressive type. also many cancers, like melanoma can spread with a small tumor extremely fast. the staging depends on how much its spread, and also by the biopsy how much it infilitrated the layers of tissues.
It could have developed between regular prostate
massagesexams.
It’s going to be interesting to see how Trump will handle that state funeral
“Interesting” is a kind way to put that he’s going to be horrific and make it all about himself.
“Put his body in a tank for my parade.”
It would be kind of great if something were to steal the show on parade day.

Lol
He’ll overshadow it with another military parade
Thank goodness he lives in a country where the cancer hospitals haven’t been bombed out of existence with weapons funded by the United States under the leadership of Joe Biden.
Fuck these motherfuckers that are down-voting.
Maybe it is downvoted because those weapons were funded long before Joe Biden was the leader?
But that’s factually incorrect. Billions of dollars of new US military aid to Israel, during the genocide, were okayed by the Biden admin. This is not controversial, this is not classified, this is public knowledge that made headlines in all major news outlets at the time.
If he allowed terrorists to build command centres in those hospitals, and dig tunnels underneath, then perhaps they would have been bombed to the ground…
As a reminder, the claim that Hamas built a command center under Shifa Hospital comes solely from the IDF. They have rejected offers to have an international delegation of journalists freely roam the area to verify the claim.
As another user pointed out, there’s no basis for those claims other than IDF press releases, which is literally the party that’s doing the bombing. Not crazy reliable. But let’s say they’re not lying, or wrong. Let’s say that enemy combatants are holed up underneath all schools, all hospitals, all churches and mosques, and 90% of residential buildings in Gaza (writing it out like this makes it sound really fucking stupid and unbelievable, but let’s entertain the thought anyway).
In the case that medical facilities are used in acts harmful to you, they become legitimate military targets under international humanitarian law. However, when you do bomb such facilities you have a number of responsibilities, including preparing a contingency plan and getting full medical service (such as cancer wards, maternity wards, and so on) up and running as soon as possible. If you don’t, you’re right back in war crime territory. And Israel hasn’t.
But aside from legal stuff, just ask yourself on a moral level if you’re okay with this. If your mother is taken hostage in a bank robbery, would you be okay with the police dealing with this situation by blowing up the entire building? I personally wouldn’t, but I guess it’s conceivable that you would respond by saying “the robber did the hostage taking, the cops had no other choice, and the only one to blame for my mother’s death is the robber”.
All of this is all hypothetical of course because there’s actually no reason to believe that all hospitals, schools, places of worship, residential buildings, and refugee camps are all valid military targets. Because what moron would believe such a thing based entirely on what the party doing the bombing is saying?
I’m just pointing out how ridiculous the comparison is to the USA. Which, to my knowledge, is not a huge refugee camp riddled with terrorists.
Yeah, and you’re basing this on info from the IDF, which I and others point out is hardly an impartial observer. There are impartial third party observers (Amnesty, WHO, Red Cross, ICC, ICJ, Unicef, etc.) and they all disagree with you. Try applying a even a smidge of critical thinking.

Would have changed nothing.
The left would have cried that whoever wasn’t X enough, the right would have rallied around the Second Coming of their True Messiah.
The Russian playbook is now well-tuned to its audience, our morons.
When will the left learn that the president has to be pro genocide and have no plan to ease the upcoming financial suffering of young people. The left simply wants too much
When will the left learn that not voting against literal fascists leads to literal fascism where you can’t say shit about genocide without being sent to El Salvador?
Liberals need to learn that voting for do-nothing-democrats lead to worsening conditions for the country’s poor which strengthens the base for fascist support.
Sending billions in weapons to an ethnostate committing genocide counts as fascist. There was no voting against fascism in the last election.
You’re never going to be allowed to vote against this regime. You need to do something else.
The real problem was the Democratic party making tactically poor move after tactically poor move. They were too obsessed with imperial support of Israel to do the right thing for US interests and the voters. They were too “anti-communist” to consider not banning TikTok and alienating younger voters. They were willing to cede the narrative to the right constantly. They refused to give the left any progressive policy goals to chew on despite us yelling about how much all of this would fuck with turnout.
For the past 2 years, they thought corporate ads and ultraconservative libs would win the election, when that wasn’t what helped them in the midterms, hasn’t been the playbook in decades, and was just what let them hang out with their “good ole Republican friends” who they really wish they could ally with like in the 90s. It was a load of interpersonal bullshit, purposefully engineered by the ruling class to ensure the Democratic leadership would never sacrifice capitalism for liberal democracy’s sake.
I’m tired and disgusted of this “blame the left” narrative, especially since plenty of liberals could tell that this was the Democrat’s biggest issue for quite a while. They never did anything to address it because the fix wasn’t easy. They went with the easy solution and expected voters to pick up the slack. That’s not how electoral politics works; Lazy, irresponsible bastards
The last time I voted and did what the liberal told me to do. I elected a president who committed genocide. This whole back and forth with this is just very frustrating because if you really break it all down how the United States is set up, how our electoral processes work, I mean the power of the executive branch nowadays we’re not really a democracy. Corporations have captured our government. There’s this lady who is a exCIA analyst and she has a book called How Civil War Start and How to Stop Them. Her name is Barbara Walters. She refers to the United States as not a democracy. She is more successful and smarter than me and you.
Joe didn’t commit genocide, but he did provide the ability and protection for the genociders, which is honestly worse in some ways. America wasn’t a proper democracy; mostly a liberal empire where people have no say beyond if they get burnt, or thrown into hell.
The local level was where we could’ve built democracy this entire time, but building up that way for the long game is difficult and wouldn’t have delivered the material changes very quickly. The executive was ensured it would become a dictatorship because the legislature was so incapable of doing basic maintenance thanks to the ever increasing push by the right to achieve anarcho-capitalism at the cost of the very empire that gave liberalism its power.
The capitalists were a bunch of gremlins in an imperial machine who didn’t know how good they had it. Some get to do what they want now, but they’re losing more power than they realize, as now America won’t be the big bad empire it was when they started. Many have assumed it’s capitalism that’s the monolithic evil of history, but if you really look at the realities of the past, if you really look at the realities of America and the USSR, you’ll realize that capitalism was always but a minor force. Empires are the greatest evil in human history, not that Capitalism is better, but it just can’t reach the same level.
this is exactly the garbage a israeli or superpac bot will say. why does the blue maga never whine about ultrarich and aipac ? they influence our elections a million times more than anything else. warren was going to be vp and would have been president today if superpacs wouldn’t have forced their puppet harris on us who got destroyed in the primaries. and aipac, lol we all know saying anything other than israel is the true messiah is the death of any politician carrier or even an actual death.
The American public is pretty stupid. I’ll give you that. But I think we also give too much credit to Russia. All capitalist countries Fuck with elections. But I think it’s the politicians that pay Russian elements to do their nefarious operations. The world of computer hacking is a mixture of supposed good guys and criminals. It’s a great market and the people that have the most access to this is people with money and who have power. The lines are truly blurred.
No, everything bad that happens in the US is the fault of Russia. They are the most powerful country on Earth and the puppet masters control everything behind the scenes!
Do you think you’re blameless? Do you think you’re innocent?
Do you?
Yep but who are they going to bring in? Another Democrat puppet

Biden has cancer, what’s Trump’s excuse? 😕
Trump IS the cancer
he is the personification of mcdonalds cancer.
Lucky for him he’ll get the best medical treatment on the planet. Meanwhile if I broke a leg I’d be destitute
Why tf do Americans reward America with their skills and education? The captain of your sinking country is throwing citizens overboard, and you remain in line? Move!?
“Move?!”
You make it sound like moving houses. Just pack your shit and drive off. Most countries don’t want us, especially if someone wasn’t born lucky enough to be able to go to college, and has some formal education. Even if that was easy, it’s fucking EXPENSIVE. thousands of dollars. A lot of us are barely getting by, and a lot more don’t have the luxury of spending thousands to go to another country. And all that, to move to a place where you won’t have citizenship without lots of work, and hell, If facism takes over that country I’ll get kicked out. Not to mention leaving my entire family behind.
All this assumes I’m moving to an English speaking country, otherwise I’ll have a language barrier at the same time I’m trying to rebuild my entire existence in a new place with unfamiliar culture.
There’s probably so much more. It’s not impossible, but for me it’s not feasible at this time. I desperately wish it was.
Edit: sorry if I came off as a dick here, it’s just frustrating seeing the thing I want so bad (to leave) simplified so much. Especially if you didn’t grow up here.
and to add, most countries accepting immigrants from the USA, they only want people with PHD in stems. most people dont have one. since a very small group of college graduates even go to grad school anyways.
Says Who? Where are you trying to go, Norway? Sweden? This is like abusive spouse language, like nobody wants you, nobody loves you. You’re lucky I love you. I know people with PhDs and they’re dumber than fucking shit. And what do you mean accepting? If you get a work visa and then you find a employer that wants to keep you. They usually can expedite this process. I’ve seen some of the most useless dumb motherfuckers in the world succeed.
America is pretty much the only country in the world that has ever accepted the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses.
No other country will accept a bunch of poor anyones with no money, bad health, and no unique and valuable skills. Not in any significant numbers that matter, at least.
and thousands? moving to another country would take hundreds of thousands, minimum. The paperwork alone for moving to, and getting citizenship in the destination country would probably require a hundred thousand alone, between lawyers and paperwork, not to mention probably a year minimum of time. Assuming you would even get that far to begin with, given Americas reputation on the world stage at the moment. It’d probably be treated as well as Russians wanting to immigrate.
Hell, even moving to another state is an expense most americans can not afford. Especially with the absurdity of rent prices being, in some places, as much as monthy minimum wage is, if not higher. Not to mention buying grossly price-inflated properties if you want to go the ownership route… anything that would be affordable will probably still need massive amounts of work to repair and make suitable for habitation.
S’why it pisses me off every time when some ignorant dumbass just goes " well if you don’t like it, move! ", cause I can imagine everyone that says that probably has rich parents that have funded their every whim, because how else can just up and moving at a whim be possible for the average person?
Hell, even moving to another state is an expense most americans can not afford. Especially with the absurdity of rent prices being, in some places, as much as monthy minimum wage is, if not higher.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU! So many people don’t get that when you’re in a shitty red state it’s REALLY REALLY hard to get out because someone making California wages has absolute way more than we do. Sure, they’re broke as shit there because the prices are high, and that sucks, but then if you’re coming from Missouri to California, the phrase “fucked” doesn’t even begin to cover it.
It’s telling that I say I clawed my way out of Arkansas and Missouri was my “better”
No more Only fans, no more energy drinks, no more video games. You can do it. Make it your life’s mission. Learn a language. You don’t have to be perfect just familiar. Maybe brush up on some mathematics. Shit. You could do for a little bit of time, teach English as a second language. And yet it’s somewhat of a scam. You could like put your ear to the ground and ask other people what they’re doing. If you’re young. And even if you’re not, who gives a shit. I mean like, are you trying to have a white picket fence and a wife you hate? A job you hate, a culture you hate. Oh that’s right, no one can afford a house. Never mind. I mean fuck this place, you can do it. I call it Operation FTP. Fuck this place. It’s a deep undercover mission that could last many years. But you will complete that mission.
I feel you, I’ve gone through similar problems but from the other side of the world. In case if you need advice:
Consider eastern europe. From what I know, you’ll have 3 months-visa free, that’s more than enough to find a job in a big city even without any kind of connections. All you need is moving expenses and a few months of rent, and you’ll have a very good chances of getting into some kind of residency program (do research your options in advance)
The language barrier will be a thing, but english will get you into many doors if you choose a big city. You can work on your language afterwards.
You’ll fail a lot, it will be very stressful, you will be outsider in the eyes of many, but trust me your chances are much bigger than some people I know that have done a similar thing and succeeded. And after you succeed (and you will, if you try and don’t give up) the understanding that government’s power over you is not absolute will stay with you forever.
All that said: I’m not saying you need to leave. I’m just saying that you can.
Hell yeah, listen to this person. They know what they’re talking about.
I feel you.
I’m in Australia. If we turned fascist I would want to move but the logistics of doing that are very challenging.
Well, we’re all capitalist countries and fascism is just capitalism in crisis. Populism comes to rise in failing economies that do not prepare for the future… I think the real issue is Quality of life and violence, we in America are constantly exposed to anti-social behavior, homelessness and guns. Within the past like I don’t know three years. I’ve been around three incidents with a firearm I had nothing to do with it, but I was in danger. I just think about all the nonsense that goes on in America and just all I can think about is me possibly having to pay a medical bill. I am a low-risk individual who is incredibly non-committal, subscription-free kind of individual.
once it starts happening to you, you know, you start to realize that we’re not in Kansas anymore.

Well, the real issue is flooding refugees in Europe was an attempt to bleed the social services because the Yankee is trying to destroy Europe’s social safety net via Imperialist Ambitions. Through nefarious tactics, the neo-liberals actually do a tango with the other parties playing the public and getting them to fight with each other and blame it on immigrants instead of mismanagement and corruption. it makes the usa look bad and it’s never more obvious than when the United States cut the gas line from Russia to Germany. The Yankee is a bad friend. And you are a short-sighted racist. It’s not about being politically correct. It’s about understanding the class war and not being an idiot. Trump is such a moron. He is making it so Europe at least the people to despise the American government, which in a way is a good thing because it’s not in their best interest to side with us. And part of the reason why Europe doesn’t want our meat is because they got their own goddamn meat. And so when we force them to use our weapons, they just say, well, we’ll build our own weapons. And once again, we’ll be less needed.
I am trying to talk my husband into moving. I can probably land the job in the EU I am interviewing for, but he does NOT want to move. He doesn’t want to leave the small amount of community we have. He doesn’t want to overreact in fear to this administration. He doesn’t want to give up our home and our lifestyle (the EU pays substantially less across many industries). Our parents are getting older and sicker; it’s hard to move abroad when you know there’s probably only a handful of years left with them, especially when you have children.
I think the Internet discounts how difficult it can be to uproot.
How good is your marriage? You only have one life. I might leave his ass. The kids will be more well-rounded. Life is a journey. Fuck and live it, lady.
I was trying to present his concerns as being relatable; I don’t think he’s unreasonable.
Marriage is pretty good. He’s a good partner, a very moral person, and a great, involved father.
I think I’d rather die in a concentration camp than break up my family… At least, if I knew my kids would be okay. I don’t think it’s likely I’d be able to take my kids overseas with me if I left him over it anyway.
Skills and education? Most Americans have neither of those things. We are a disposable people and that’s exactly what the corporate slaveowners want. We can’t escape because we are less valuable to other countries which means it’s easier to exploit us. What are we going to do about it, kill our masters? That’s not nice.
The captain of your sinking country is throwing citizens overboard, and you remain in line? Move!?
Hahahahahahaha… you sound like one of our republicans.
I work as a biomed, a sector of repairing medical equipment that is a sought after career field, desperately needed. Been doing it for five years, and I like to think I’m damn good at my job.
I also only have an associates degree.
There are not many countries that will take me with only that associates degree. It’s like I tell conservatives who do the “Don’t like it, move”, being from the US isn’t some special wonderful status that gets us open doors into other countries. Other countries don’t want us like the Republicans don’t want foreigners from other countries, unless they’re wealthy.
Biomed isn’t really a sought after career. Most people outside of the medical community don’t even know it exists. The last hospital I worked at was starting a teenage volunteer program and surveyed high school and college kids. 60% thought only doctors and nurses worked at hospitals.
By sought after I mean the hospitals searching for us. As you say, my hospital is bringing in high schoolers to intern because the industry basically has no pipeline for workers because most of the old guard are still there but retiring and/or dying off so suddenly there’s a massive lack in a very tiny pool caused by it basically not being advertised until very recently.
Outside of a few essentially third world countries that I could save up a few grand and bribe my way into, there really aren’t any countries that are too keen on accepting Usians for citizenship. You might have better luck if you have a doctorate and speak the local language fluently.
I had a buddy that expatriated to South Korea years ago to teach English, but I think last time I checked in he was still juggling work visas and had no real chance of being a citizen.
I could be wrong though, I haven’t checked in on him in a while.
I’m working on my plan.
What are these comments? You people are vile.
Either post on reddit and get a mix of Nazis and Russian bots.
Or post on Lemmy and get dumb fucks that idolize Russia or China and don’t even understand what communism is they just know it’s “cool” to be against capitalism.
Also never vote, but simultaneously blame the Democrats for everything.
Tbf it is pretty cool to be against capitalism.
Yeah what’s up with that? We now cool with China? What?
Don’t buy Tesla, but buy slave made cars from BYD! WHO LITERALLY RUNS SLAVE CAMPS OUTSIDE OF CHINA.
What. The. Fuck. Internet.
I’ve seen people saying they don’t want to buy a Quest VR headset because Facebook supported the Uyghur genocide (reasonable) and then name PICO as an alternative despite it being owned by ByteDance which is tied to the Chinese government.
Yeah, people don’t think. They just repeat the popular thing.
The bots and won. That’s the reality. So much infighting and hatred.
Please cite a source. As far as I’ve heard, despite several investigations by Congress, there has never been any evidence that Byte dance has any ties to the Chinese government. The only premise they could come up with the try to separate TikTok was that they are a Chinese company and subject to the totalitarian rule of China’s government.
I doubt one normal person is saying both those things.
China is a capitalist country, Russia is a capitalist country, America is a capitalist country, and right now the United States is committing a genocide in Gaza, because Americans have been conditioned to not care about Muslim people. Yet at the same time, our government is working with arab countries that are oppressive (with kings) and are known to have commited human rights abuses. Also, they played the part in 9/11. If this Jesus ever came back, you would just nail his ass back on the cross again. You smell like new born babe. I like the confidence but you seem confused. The United States uses some of its allies to coordinate and commit terrorist acts. And before you call me a Russian troll or a useful idiot, just know that all these capitalist countries do this. I mean, don’t you remember India just killing people in Canada? or the Saudi douche bags that killed that journalist who had his body chopped up into pieces?If you’re a serious person, you know this. The world is capitalistic and the wealth is consolidated at the top. There is not much money in the public sector and because the United States affects the world economically, the rest of the world is thrown into turmoil. There is a new economic system called BRICS. It’s challenging the petrol dollar. Basically, we’re approaching the beginning of the end. And pretty soon, they’re going to start using tactical nukes, which are low yield. COVID-19 was a biological weapon. Your government lies to you at every opportunity. You are nothing but cattle. Just to give you some, I don’t know, perspective you could read about Edward Bernays. Also, look up imperialism. Also, you could learn about hegemony. Oh child, you have so much to learn. Oh yeah, maybe you should learn about Alan Dulles. …During World War II, we financed the Nazis. Then, towards the end of the war, we used the Catholic Church, who was complicit and also had fascist elements inside of it and still does, to traffic, German scientist, to Argentina, and South America, and the United States, in which they worked on our rocket program to compete against the Soviet Union. these human trafficking pathways were called rat lines. The Book of History never closes and it’s just constant war. That’s all we do is war. And if there’s any innovation out there, most likely it’s going to be turned into a weapon or it came from the research from the military industrial complex because we don’t invest any real meaningful capital in anything other than learning how to kill women and children more efficiently. People like you just live in denial. But I mean, if we were friends in real life, I’d be busting out books, articles, all trusted sources. This isn’t some QAnon nonsense. This is real fucking life. I mean, if communism is a good idea or a bad idea, it’s still understandable that the kids of today are just kind of sick and tired of this bullshit exponential madness of capitalism. Populism is on the rise because this is what happens with capitalism in crisis. Fascist are the useful idiots of empire and America is an imperialist empire. I mean, you could say, oh, this is some kind of byproduct, oooooor it’s by design. And if you watch the cash flow and the money markets, you understand why things are the way they are. This is clearly intentional. And then why don’t you look into BlackRock? It’s just a labyrinth and we’re all walking into the trap as we argue with each other and it’s just generation after generation of just lazy thinking. Each generation in this country live less meaningful lives. It just gets worse. Those homeless people that you drive by and look at like animals in the zoo, just realize one day that could be you. There is no war but the class war and capitalism is global. There is no communism. Today is a world of capitalism. Also dig through some of the CIA files in the reading room on their website. You’ll find a lot of stuff that’s kind of revealing and insightful. America isn’t really locked down. It’s just people are lazy and they just don’t learn about how things work. Also, people will go out and share their opinions even though they did no work to have those opinions. If I knew you would actually listen, I would give you the links. But I mean, now anything goes and everybody’s a liar, I guess. It’s like Plato’s allegory of the cave. And all the people that do the bidding of this disinformation campaign are the ones that are going to suffer for it. I mean, things are not improving in this country. And eventually, you know, even you or… Some successful person will eventually fall victim to unemployment. Your currency is devaluing every single day. And now they have come up with crypto in which they can completely control everything you do with your money. But they kind of already could have done that with your bank account. Your money’s not baked backed by anything that’s real. It’s really just monopoly money with faith. And the only reason it has value is because the United States enforces that value with its violence and the world’s getting sick of it. But yet the world doesn’t have a better system. So it’s almost guaranteed that the world probably go up in flames. I don’t know, we’ll see, stay tuned.
also in Israel the settlers, the apocalyptic accelerationist are being listened to more and more. And there are certain elements in Israel’s government that are even more extreme than Netanyahu. Before the war and even now Israel is on the brink of a civil war. Israels leaders have intentions of going beyond just Iran and Palestine. America using it as a puppet but yet struggles to keep it from going outside the lines of acceptable behavior. The world now outside of the little hug box of America dumb fuckery views Israel as a unprofessional army. I mean, give it some time, baby, if we’re still around. You know, I’ve lived long enough to see it shift. Have you heard of the Dead Man Switch? That’s linked to Russia’s nuclear weapons? That was during the Cold War. I wonder what they have now. And then the tech bros in the United States are talking about having AI run our nuclear weapons. I mean you need to try harder. I know you probably got a job and hobbies and you don’t want to spend time on this but I just think you just probably shouldn’t share your opinions. Everything that I’ve talked about is actually true. If you look hard enough you will find all these accusations to Be True oh yeah, one more thing. They’re using open source intelligence with Peter Thiel’s Palantir to pick targets by scraping Twitter. So some snot-nose kid pretending to be an intelligence officer is making post online and then they’re shooting rockets at those locations and just recently they were accused of killing innocent civilians and that person shut down their account and I guess donated some money to charity and they felt awful for what they did. Oh child, oh child you know nothing. I mean shit. I’d rather have communism than what we have today. When you are sheltered, possibly wealthy, you really don’t feel the effects of these things. But the spectrum is shifting, and so as you get older, you will become poorer. And it will be eventually noticeable. Justice will be served. Thank God all men die. No war but the class war. (Already down voted hahahah)
Not as vile as Biden himself

The only vile thing about this article is Joe Biden
Get these Democrats off this fucking platform. The libturds have taken over everything. I don’t expect you to be a tanky or some kind of vegan anarchist, but it’s just… This is a place for smart people, okay… You don’t deserve your down votes.
If this is a place for smart people then why is this thread full of you dipshits with the “not cheering for an old man with cancer to suffer makes you a DEMOCRAT and thus STUPID!!!”
It’s fox news 101 you moron

The Joe Biden legacy is literal genocide. What kind of insane person do you have to be to not be happy about this? This is objectively awesome.
Who’s misusing the Monkey Paw for wishes? Be specific next time!
Get everything written down and then have it proof read by a lawyer and a scifi novelist, thats how I beat the Genie in South Africa of 94.
God, thats fucking terrible. We put him through the riger the last couple years & now this? This is the worst timeline.
I don’t know about you, but I wanted him to stop working when he was 74 and enjoy the rest of his life with his family like people should be allowed to do much younger than that, not start working again at 78.
I have absolutely no guilt over what happened at the tail end of his presidency, I tried to keep him from being in that position at all.
Everyone except big money donors wanted him to retire literal decades ago…
No one forced him to keep going, we had to fight him to stop well past it was time.
Like, you don’t think Joe Biden first and last “primary” being 40 years apart isnt a good thing?
Someone that wasn’t born till five years after his first run could have ran against him in his last.
The guy won once.
