Grand rising/day/evening, comrades! I’m about to be busy, so in the before-hectic time I opened Lemmy to see the following posts immediately, and thought perchance they may serve your entertainment needs:

    Yes it is, funny in a sad, sick kind of way. That was within a half hour of hitting “regular” Lemmy, this morning. I’m not sure if Western media is getting worse, “regular” Lemmy is getting worse, or if I’m just scrolling with a more skeptical eye. It just smacked me full in the face, first thing and sleepy, this morning.

      They’re preparibg for war with china so they will likely start dehumanizing campaigns against them.

        Ramp them up, from my perspective.

          I’m not following. I dont think dehumanization is a good idea at all. Did I miss something?

            I’m saying they’re not preparing for war with dehumanizing rhetoric, rather they’re preparing with escalation. Apologies for ambiguity.

                No worries, I was tired and didn’t realize how awful it came across until you inquired. I’m really sorry about that.
