    I had someone here on lemmy literally tell me that history doesn’t matter and we shouldn’t pay attention to it. The ignorance was fucking astounding.

      Years ago someone told me on reddit that antivirus protections on personal PCs aren’t necessary and a waste of processing power.

      Can’t really reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

      Funny that the one thing all three scenarios have in common is: “misled people that vote”. I wanted to write “dumb and ignorant people voting” but I wanted to be generous

        The big part is also well-meaning people not voting. There are more of those well-meaning people by volume, and they could’ve easily prevented all that, but they for one reason or another decided not to do that

        She and the McDonald’s coffee lady should form a support group or foundation.

          Jessica Starr. It was Jan 20, 2017 just as he was sworn in. His terrible followers sometimes subtitled this image “autistic screeching”.
