As they say

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

When the killer of Yoshihiro Hattori was acquitted back in the early 90s, spectators cheered

The US is cooked.

It has been for quite a while.

It needs a completely new political system, full stop.

Absolutely!

The propaganda is so deep that it may take decades more deterioration before we even get to that point.

Nope. Just getting people to wake up from the dream state is not enough to facilitate change.

To get a new political system, the framework of a new one has to be ready to replace it. You cannot just stop capitalism and expect everyone to reach enlightenment and go forth into the future. You’ll just have collapse and the rise of warlords as seen in every country that the US has destabilised beyond a certain point.

As for seeing through the propaganda, all it takes is instability, a removed (<- they removed a word that is also seen as a slur for Chinese people but the my usage was “a small cleft, slit, or fissure”) in the armour of the establishment, for it all to come tumbling down and we are currently in a moment of instability.

Trumps regime is not fully in control, they are running around making contingency plans because the orange emperors health is failing and the daily revelations of things like Epstein emails is chipping away at the facade. Even republicans are calling for the full release of the files!

The party is not a united body.

The grass roots support is unstable as people can see that none of his promises have materialised: Prices are higher, so is unemployment, the economy is in recession and despite his blathering, nothing is trickling down to those red cap wearing poor folk but corporate profits are at a record high!

People can’t live on vapours and they’ll soon come down from the high.

ai can be good as long as you don’t let it think for you

Unfortunately, there’s too many people already doing that, with not so clever results!

If it increases accessibility for those with additional requirements then great but we know that’s not even in its top 10 reasons for being implemented

It’s beyond that. It’s surveillance software

Every Israeli is now a legitimate target

You forgot the Bill “now the largest owner of arable land in the US” Gates

The EU left are all neoliberals.

We can see it clearly in the UK. Labour, who are historically the political arm of the unions, have been indulging in anti-immigration rhetoric that is indistinguishable from the far right.

It’s easier to see that they are deliberate controlled opposition rather than former lefties that have been red scared into being centrists

One place I worked, a senior exec has in his email signature words to the effect of…

I work odd hours so if you receive this email out of office hours, I do not expect a reply until you’re next in the office

If Andrew Cuomo had won, he definitely wouldn’t have waited around to get stuck in… to abusing more women!

There wasn’t that much to criticize about Israel during his lifetime.

That shows an almost childlike ignorance about Israel and that it was known even before its existence that it was an apartheid settler colonial project.

So why was Malcolm X, a contemporary of MLK, an anti-zionist and saw Israel for what it was?

Which one of his 3 mega yachts do you think he’ll pop his clogs on?

You can set up on one of the ‘intro’ instances then once you find an instance that suits you, you can migrate your account (really easy to do).

That way you can find accounts to follow, etc in the meantime and get into the swing of things.

Had to laugh when I saw this thread the other day on Reddit sysadmin about their co-worker using chatgpt for instruction on critical domain services and b0rked their entire network!

The whole left/right axis is stupid anyway because it’s simply if someone is pro-capitalist/pro-establishment or not.

Having a slightly different opinion about how to spend the crumbs that spill from the elites table is just a waste of time and energy, and ultimately distracts from the real issues.

They are supremacists that see everyone else as dogs to be abused and killed.

It’s why Israel has no future and needs to be wiped from the map and only spoken about as a shit stain on the underpants of history

They’re such a crybaby is it worth even engaging any further?

There are some that still give Israel the benefit of the doubt and showing that a humanitarian flotilla trying to deliver aid are kidnapped in international waters, strips away that.

Israel has, and will always be a piece of shit and definitely revel in it, but those who stand on the sidelines with their “two sides” arguments are now shown that they are morally complicit

• signal to noise ratio

It feels a bit like how Reddit was prior to the digg exodus when overnight pun & lyric threads, ascii art and terminally shit one word responses appeared.

There is the awareness to the benefit of building slowly will bring, rather than having a an uncontrolled mass exodus, that risks little to no integration to the current curated culture.

• Transparency

You can see who the mods are and a mod log and currently, people are giving time to grow the communities rather than welding power.

• Quality content

It’s not the same stories getting posted by karma farmers or by bots. It’s more curated.

• Interactions

They’re more conversational than adversarial
