No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I highly recommend Leeja Miller to understand what needs to be done and how much of that the Democrats are doing currently

Just saw the first 30 seconds but i love her naivete on this. She thinks they're just coming for people's rights. Aaawww, cute.

Trump just beheaded the army, making sure trump loyalists are all that's left.

What do you think will happen when a bunch of death cult christofascists who want the apocalypse to bring Christ back get access to nukes?

What so you think will happen when a mob boss who doesn't care millions of deaths, who wants to play land grab and steal canada, Greenland, latín America etc gets access to nukes with nobody to control his impulses?

So far things are escalating rapidly and "muh rights" is just the next rung on the ladder. I'm looking three to four rungs ahead and I'm very fucking worried as these shits have shown to give nothing about who dies, as long as they get better off. They also have shown to have no concept of consequences and again, they have access to nukes and now fill control of a military who now will say no to nothing.

And you're complaining about rights. You think protests will do anything? Not that anyone wants to protest, recent "well stop the city" protests got sometimes even hundreds of people out, ooohh, craaazaaayy! Call me again once you have 100 million people in the streets, those hundreds do less than shit.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be a dixk, not to you, o don't know you and I know the YouTuber and I know what she's saying but I think we're already way, WAY past all that.

Trump is speed running solidifying his position and once he has full control of all the branches that can stop or slow him, the gloves will come off.

Think it's bad now? Wait a year. Think you can do anything to stop him? You can't. Even if you could get millions of protesters in total, even if you could get tens of millions of protesters, its already too late for that, you'll just look funny walking and screaming in the streets, they won't give a fuck. You want tos strike? Paralyze the country? Wait until police starts killing protesters and see how long it takes for everyone to stop and go home to cry in a hole.

Stopping trump now requires someone extraordinary to do something extraordinary. I'm not implying anything, I'm simply saying that us plebs are already out of the game.

Maybe maybe maybe if all Republicans cut themselves off and just all Democrats,.maybe they could do something? Them again, too many Democrats are already saying to just support trump and work with him so yeah, forget about all that too.

I don't know what can be done at this point. I can just only say "fuckyou Americans, all of you, for letting this happen, for unleashing this hell over the world"

If tomorrow Yellowstone would erupt and destroy the entirety of the US, I would just be relieved

What? Leeja Miller has no illusions about Trump being a fascist , Project 2025, or how Trump's 2nd term will ruin Democracy. She's a lawyer, so you won't see her advocating for a violent uprising. She's focused on what to do within our current institutions to fight back against Trump and Fascism. If you're looking for revolutionary thought, I would highly recommend Franz Fanon

Ah, yes, because the Nazis were famously beaten by lawyers...

We know from history that fascism cannot be beaten peacefully. We cannot appease or argue our way out of this problem.
