  • In Iraq we had no goal. Can’t complete an objective when there is no objective. Same with Afghanistan.

    Vietnam we lost the objective because literally everyone knew the objective wasn’t obtainable, yet we stayed there.

    In Venezuella there’s a clear objective. Steal all the oil. Of all the stupid wars we’ve been involved with, this one is at least honest. We’re here for your oil, and we’ll kill you with the biggest military if you step in our way.

    I don’t agree with the objectives. I don’t agree with the war. But I will say this seems pretty easy for us. Fucking over countries long term future, sowing political chaos, and stealing oil are like our cornerstones.

    I’ve told people about Lemmy before. I got the same reaction everytime.

    “It looks like it’s just people talking about computers.”

    And their interest dies. Which tells me there needs to be more diversity of active communities. No one wants to come to a small platform, create a new dead community, and talk to themself.




  • How is this meant for THIS sub? I already have this same story in my feed 3 other times. But those 3 other posts are in news related subs. SOME overlap in content is to be expected as some subs content overlap.

    But THIS post, shouldn’t be one of them.

    BTW this message is not in any way meant to be a pro-ICE defending comment. Fuck ICE. They are criminals. They are American S.S.

    The point is there are places we SHOULD discuss this story. Put all your comments in those posts. Not here.

    When reddit first started, it almost failed because there was no content.

    So what they did was had staff members post, and reply to each other. They made sure to reply to any actual new people. And then they did this from hundreds of automated accounts.

    They simulated activity to promote actual real activity.

    I know everyone will disagree with me, but I’d say DON’T flag them as bots. If the bots fool humans, and cause growth of the fediverse/lemmy? Great. In time you can turn off the bots. But only once actual humans are here.
