Just give up

I heard people use it on lemmy to refer to communities

Because they came from reddit and call them subreddits

Just take the L dude

sub is used as a noun countless times.

Holy fuck that’s a level of disingenuous worthy of Trump himself. You’re comparing absolute numbers instead of percentages? Oldest bullshitting trick in the book.

If Texas were a country, it would be the 10th biggest by GDP and the 4th largest petrostate. It’s twice as large as Germany. This isn’t hyper-local news.

I mean, to get hyper technical, they have associated this general type of cruelty with moral righteousness and fiscal responsibility.

So they are doing things that are cruel. Those of us not caught up in their cult can see that they’re doing it because of greed, tribalism, and religious indoctrination. The cruelty is the point, but they’re not doing it just because they like being cruel. They’re doing it because being cruel is virtuous, makes them feel superior, and makes them money (note, not all of these apply to everyone; these are 3 different motivations for 3 different groups). This type of cruelty, for one or more of those reasons, is seen as a GOOD thing.

So yes. The cruelty is the point. It’s not incidental, it’s not an unfortunate byproduct of some other goal. It is cruel and they are intentionally trying to be cruel.

Correct. And we’re over it.

Putin is running out of money.

Just thought you should be aware.

I think Russian propaganda will be the greatest threat to her campaign, actually
