In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don't know where the money has gone. But not everybody is going begging. Amnesty International, Greenpeace and the United Negro College Fund announced record earnings this week, due mostly to large, anonymous donations.

Bankruptcy is a specialty of their leader. Perfect!

Stop posting US politics here. Why would anybody outside the US who comes here for "Technology" be interested in that?!

WhatsHerBucket [OP] a month ago

Just because the technology involves politics shouldn’t mean it can’t belong here also.  Why do they have to be mutually exclusive?  I’m not pushing my beliefs on anyone here.

If you read the article (which I can only assume you did), it goes into detail about a how even  hackers from Black Hat and DEFCON (two well known cybersecurity conventions) were donating to a cause they believe in.  It even goes on to talk about hacking voting machines.  

Seems like “technology” to me.

Literally every second word is about politics, names or institutions. Technlogy was merely mentioned.

Literally everything in the world has political implications. Get over yourself

You could either set up a filter, or go full-Karen and complain about it.

I see you chose the second option.

Is this politics?

You mean my answer? I'm in Germany. I don't care about US politics. President this, president that. Literally don't care.

Unfortunately, unless it is a moderators’ rule, this just won’t happen.

Well, it's technically related

Seriously, IDGAF where it is, this post is not about technology at all.

I can't prove it's true for you, but every time I read messages like this I think "lol look at that Uber conservative with bad ideas"

Edit: in your case the problem appears to be explosive diarrhea, not being a conservative. Consider me corrected. However another person heavily agreeing with you validates my bias so I'll stick with it ;)

Wait, what? Did you reply to the right person?

doodledup a month ago

Exactly! Why are we even downvoted for this? People with political agendas are increasingly using every popular sub for posting their shit. Don't care. Don't want to see it.

Then... go away to another instance, bub. The things my country does affect far more than just the united states, unfortunately. I really wish we hadn't fucked the globe up so bad and stuck our grubby little fingers into every pot, but we did. And now you all have to hear about it. It's not changing any time soon, either until our political situation improves and we convince our politicians to stop. Wish us luck.

206 up, 20 down.

The nerds have spoken.

I agree with you though.

The majority of english-speaking Lemmy users are from the US. Sadly, they think that they are the onle ones. More importantly, they think that US politics is important to everyone outside of the US.

ruse8145 a month ago

Yeah us politics don't really impact anyone else on the planet outside of the 50 states

doodledup a month ago, edited a month ago

It does affect other countries but not to the extent that people in the US think. The whole english internet is full of random election articles and posts. Yet in German news for example, barely anyone even mentions the US election. Harris is a new candidate and she now has a vice president. That's pretty much the whole news of the entire month. It's a side-quote. It's really not that important.

How much U.S. military $$ is spent in Germany? You should shut up.

Criminals donating to prosecutors never works out well.

hihellobyeoh a month ago

I hate this stigma, hackers aren't criminals, yes there are criminal hackers, but hackers aren't criminals, I don't have the time or patience to type out everything on my phone, but look up events like defcon, without friendly hackers our cyber security would be a joke.
