Lol

Hear hear. I know people are propagandized against jumping to a Linux distro, but honestly its been the best jump of my life. So many like Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora are really just plug-and-play.

I wish. It never mattered what the killer was or wasn’t; the right always calls them antifa trans dei super soldiers anyways. You’ve got literal Nazis on cells right now with unretracted articles calling them socialists.

Maybe it wouldn’t sound so boomer-y if you didn’t sit so close to the tv

I gotta be honest: As much as I’m trying to leave the US, I don’t think I could ever go for Germany after Israel. Obviously the US is Israel’s biggest sponsor, but for as much discourse as there is about the UK being right behind us, I’m convinced that Germany is worse (than the UK).

Oh 100%. And I know these fucks are so incompetent that they’re rolling out the same ad as cover for the same spyware to do the same shit.

“Thank you for proving my point. I don’t actually engage with my community, and that makes me more politically effective than you for some reason. That’s why the city won’t do shit, because they aren’t serving you. They don’t serve me either, but I don’t do anything to press them to, so I don’t act, which is obviously the better position. Yes, actually, I am ver y smart and politically effective.”

Lol I’ll let you know when they do that when prompted; See I know you don’t organize because I spend damn near every weekend engaging with mutual aid, and we all joke about how our city won’t do shit. Only the most performative assholes get pissed.

Uh-huh. Let me know when they win a city council seat, lol. Leftists be like ”I’m politically effective! I’ve convinced no one."

Ikr? Has kirk ever even left the us?

I never said it could be done by one person; my point is that there is not even one politically effective person that wants this, let alone a group. Sure, we have leftists in America; we just bitch on Lemmy instead of actually stand on street corners handing out pamphlets.

Fair enough. Idk why someone downvoted you; I shitpost all the time, you’re good. Although, good luck to anyone wanting to emigrate, lol. Even if it was financially feasible, I truly wonder how welcome we’ll be if America keeps down this fascist route. I’d imagine the Germans that left in '33 were a bit more well liked than the ones who left in '46, though 😂

Nah. It would have sparked an uptick in calls for one, but fundamentally we’re dealing with fascists that don’t actually believe in anything. Trump only exists as a reaffirmation of a dumbass’s nihilism: He’s the ultimate bait for anyone to actually care what happens in this country, at the behest of pure idiots to have the ability to call anyone who cares dumb. Sure, you have your capitalists, your true believer white christian nationalists, and your warmongers, but without the dumbasses it all falls apart.

I mean its less us-pilled and more us-locked. If I could snap my fingers and make every city over 500 people walkable, mix-zoned, and locally owned, I would in a heartbeat. But no one built any cities that way outside of the east coast, and even if all the capital in the US was used responsibly, fixing us would be a century-long project. Now show me one politically effective American capable of seeing past tomorrow; I’ll wait.

stoi and atoi got ur back, homie

My particular issue is that the Venn Diagram of crypto bros and ai bros is a circle

You’re right, but it’s worse. That sentiment isn’t just why our cohort votes right - it’s why our cohort is unwilling to change the status quo. It’s scary, when you have a kid and rent and a partner and aging parents and just a fuckton on your plate, and even if your morals are all in the right place you have to choose between even protesting, potentially being jailed or worse, or just biding time to vote. And that’s ignoring even any actual radical expression. Revolution is a young man’s game.

All spiders matter

Look man it’s not that serious. SK bad, NK bad, Amerikkka bad, etc. Heirarchies bad. Sorry for making you out like a NK supporter. It’s Lemmy, I thought you were a tankie. Every time anyone throws a dig at SK they slide in with pro-NK content, but because they’re terminal larpers they usually lead with some cowardly shit like “He he yup, SK bad, right? Anyways, about NK, idk seems not as bad as the west makes it out to be…”

Sorry I thought you were a tankie. If you’re not a tankie, I didn’t mean to get under your skin. Peace?

I always take it as good clickbait. The articles never have good info, but the headlines are never outrageous IMO. Just kind of a “Tom’s said X, let me do some research.”
