Political Memes

So you've won. Here's how you keep it: first, pass strict laws against publishing misinformation and shut down shitspreaders HARD. Do everything possible to put more money in voter's pockets and remind them constantly of that fact. Compare everything the right says and does to Trump. Do the opposite of whatever the US does. Work to remove any leverage the US has over your countries and help each other out.

Full disclosure: I'm a USian. Our recovery depends on the right failing as hard as possible, here and in your countries. There is an international far right movement at work, don't get comfortable and don't think you are safe. Identify their sources, causes, support structures and propaganda channels and shut them down before they can take root. Good luck and godspeed!

Bro, at least half of Americans are still out there like SpongeBob and Patrick, with no fucking idea that in less than three weeks, there will be no groceries on the shelves.

The amount of "blissful ignorance" in this country is out of control. People need to be shook.

Honestly I hope Latin America creates a Union themselves

My first thought was "oh thank God Canada will be safe for refugees to run to" not even particularly for myself, but for a lot of my friends.

Fundamentally the problem is that the US is just too rich. That creates incentives, like:

• A strong incentive to use media to control the abundance of resources for personal benefit
• Valuable advertising, leading to corporate propaganda that exploits our emotions, and hyperemotional, fluffy news coverage designed to grab our attention rather than inform
• A near-monopoly on extremely wealthy people, which leads those people to spend directly on promoting pro-stratification candidates

This creates a catch-22. To fix the media and government, we need to spread out wealth to dilute financial power. But to do that would require policy changes that require fixing the media and government.

Gotta say, today was a much-needed dose of hope here in Australia. So refreshing to see our nation's leader act with dignity and empathy for people, and actually have a plan to make things better.

It feels like Dutton's campaign was nothing but 'Don't vote for Labor' instead of 'here's what we're going to do'.

Man, this image is on the nose

So...when do we build a wall around the US, they want to isolate themselves so let's help

Canada and australia are also genocidal right-wing dystopias.

Gotta be uber privileged to celebrate this anywhere.
