Damn bruh they really sunk Central America huh

But then they sue the Internet Archive for hosting a library for the betterment of society. Capitalism is a plague.

“A solarpunk polity would replace centralised forms of state government with decentralised confederations of self-governing communities […]”

Stalin notoriously loved checks notes heavily decentralizing government power akin to anarcho-communism.

“This politician writing against fascism is too fascist. This decentralized political system is too tankie. This politician ousting competent government officials he perceives as disloyal to his coup is juuuuust right.”

It’s good to see a politician who actually stays informed about these kinds of issues.

Jesus christ, chill the hell out. 💀

1. Who still writes letters anymore? Uh… A lot of people? Especially sitting senators to massive, multi-billion-dollar corporations? Would you have preferred they go on some shitty social media platform to write “ayo get your shit together fr fr”? Fellas, is it gay pretentious to use your position in government to bring attention to an issue? Have you never written a letter?

2. One of the reasons a neo-Nazi fuck just won the election is because these online spaces allow fascist rhetoric to run rampant. (Edit: probably also the general attitude that shuns literacy and intellectualism, like “writing a letter? how pretentious lmaooo”) You’re bringing up a nonsensical, extreme edge case to justify why action shouldn’t be taken in 99.999% of cases. I also as a Hindu (a religion I’m sure you actually understand or care about) get a facial swastika tattoo and then post that as my pfp to Steam. Definitely how that really works in the actual real world.

3. Writing coherently about an actual issue facing a platform like Steam actually shows that he’s more in-touch than most politicians. You sound deeply insecure.

This entire comment oozes intellectual dishonesty.

I don’t think you can block yourself. Maybe ask the Lemmy devs to implement it? Seriously, all I’m asking you to do is read to understand where your rights as an American citizen start and end; it’s for your own good.

A US senator can absolutely, unambiguously write to a private corporation asking them to more strictly moderate their platform. You’re just parroting “muh freeze peach” having zero idea where that starts and ends.

I highly recommend informing yourself where this boundary is; even if you particularly disagree with this senator, citing the First Amendment is the weakest possible argument here except among people who also don’t understand where the line is.

In the future, I highly recommend sourcing to Wikiquote instead. It’s a sister project of Wikipedia which sources its quotes so they can be independently verified, whereas Goodreads just operates on an ad populum approach of upvotes. It also for this reason tends to be more robust to error, and many more prominent figures have specific sections both for popular quotes that are known to be misattributed and for ones that are dubious but not currently falsifiable.

The ultimatum is to finally ban Newsweek for the complete gutter trash it is.

Just going to leave this here.

$10 says most death penalty state-sanctioned murder proponents would’ve proposed before 2022 (or even just before this verdict) that she was a clear-cut example of why it’s necessary because what kind of monster would definitely 100% verifiably beat their child to death? Fucking repugnant.

Before “Seward’s Folly” gets brought up, I invite you to watch this Premodernist video.

Ah, much appreciated; that doesn’t show up on my app. Man, I wish the experience weren’t so inconsistent between desktop and mobile. (Also good riddance.)

Grandma got run over by a dragon?

Oh shit, you’re right. Monk hasn’t posted in 20 days. How convenient lmfao

Can’t criticize them after the election

Huh? That’s all anyone has been doing the past week. What are you on? You’re acting like this is some sort of catch-22, but it so obviously isn’t: hold the line before the election to minimize the chances of a fascist getting into office (like in 2020 with Biden), then immediately thereafter regardless of the results completely shit all over them for how they aren’t where they should be.

Edit: I still haven’t heard how the complete avalanche of massive, basically unabated criticisms of the DNC over the last nine-ish days is being suppressed.

I’m also going to note that a ton of slaughterhouse workers are either undocumented or are the sorts of legal first-generation Latino immigrants Trump would still want to illegally deport. Even as a vegan who wants to see this industry die I can see how fucking disastrous that kind of shock would be for food prices. Even the change in public perception would be massive since it seems like the price of meat is one of the most significant barometers most meat-eaters use for how expensive groceries are.

Leaving this up even though it attempts (and fails) to justify genocide and uses what’s arguably an ethnic slur akin to e.g. “Paki” or “Jap” simply because I think readers should have an opportunity to contrast your ignorant bullshit against @jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com’s well-reasoned comment debunking it.

However, stay the hell out of this community forever. Thanks.

A vastly better experience for less money? Never! /s
