russian revolution. nevermind.
russian revolution. nevermind.
semantics. you know what I was saying.
dead little girls in coal mines? there are dead little girls in coal mines instead of prices, or the normal dead people of all ages and genders on the streets I have to fucking walk past every day.
what’s the word for a thing that worms its way into your life, makes you depend on it, then uses that to exploit and damage you?
there’s a word for that.
the america that could have been.
no. when things are good there are guillotines instead of prices.
it WAS dealt with pretty quick, but yeah I bet it’s still pretty absurd, even if they at least ask… some questions?
basic state logic.
they’re incapable of sucking less. their whole episteme is about centralizing, about reducing thought the farther it gets from the central authority (whether that’s one guy, a class, or a building like the pentagon), but you CAN increase violence, threaten, flatten, disable, basically wherever.
for several years in the early 00’s, the process for getting security clearance involved no background check, just knowing who to ask. they literally rubber stamped it.
getting a fed job or something still did, but just security clearance, on its own, for anyone? just ask. not even nicely.
of course.
zip ties, the metal reinforced ones are called wire cuffs. get used a lot at protests and other mass arrests, too.
yep. I know if it wasn’t unusable trash I might not have come over to lemmy.
wow, a zionist AND a homophobe. I’m… what’s the name for a feeling that means the opposite of shocked but is far far more unpleasant?
they outnumber the ‘tech crowd’ because we use technology to infantilize outselves, of which this is a prime example.
in general. plenty of reasons you might be here, could just be reddit got unusable.
because you’re no fun and don’t want to install a proper cat door.
kinda what psychopomps are for, yeah.
google “nazi book burning” find the photo you think of when you hear/read that phrase, then look at the context for that photo, what books were being burned, where, and why. please don’t reply until you have.
lemmy isn’t too evil. on purpose. mostly.
certainly less vile than facebook. “no political system is perfect so im’a just exterminate the jews and revere the fuhrer” is not a good look
and if that sounds like hyperbole, remember how many of your young-male and elderly relatives were radicalized by that social media platform, which has been critical or complicit in multiple genocides, finished and ongoing.
tl;dr: copyright law has always been nonsense designed to protect corporations and fuck over artists+consumers
but now corpo daddy and corpo mommy are fighting, and we need to take sides.
and it’s revealing that copyright law never existed to protect artists, and will continue to not do that, but MUCH more obviously, and all the cucks who whined about free culture violating laws are reaping what they fucking sowed.
no, they were the end of the worst of times. the fact that guillotines were a massive improvement is an indicator of how fucking monstrous the centuries of white terror had been.
