        Yeah, and we have like 0.07% of their reach.

        You can fool some people some time, you can fool some people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.

        Unfortunately, you don’t have to fool all the people all the time, 99.93% of the people most of the time will do just fine. Shit, 51% is plenty enough.

          Oh, they’ll get around to shanking lemmy eventually. We should enjoy it while it lasts.

          We like to shit on Tik Tok, but you’re right that their reach is absolutely massive. Recently when Democrats were writing op eds and taking out ads saying that troops should ignore illegal orders, a high ranking member of the military (I forget who) commented that the messaging was ineffective because troops almost universally get their “news” through Tik Tok.

            Soldiers will obey orders. That’s what they do.

            My Lai, Abu Ghraib, Kent State, Bonus Army March.

            Soldiers aren’t trained to be moral philosophers, they’re paid to do what they’re told

            One finger to swipe leaves a hand free for munching crayons.

              Proving the point perfectly. They aren’t paid to think. They’re paid to follow orders.

              When the time comes, they will not hesitate to fire upon US civilians, and those who do will be shot alongside them.

      Both were blackmailers, their wonderful secret. That’s why they were such enigmas. But epstein was connected to a foreign intelligence agency, maybe the president was too, even that far back.
