Edit: Just saw another post about Van Der Beek’s friends posting a fundraiser for his family to cover his funeral costs. Their family has been running fundraisers to cover the cancer treatments he ultimately died from. Fuck this shithole country and it’s for profit industries.

Thanks for the meme James, rest in peace.

Nothing said about what will be done about it.

“My PC” is shorter. Checkmate.

Whoever said art is dead needs slickle on their peeny.

Case in point: this discussion.

If you missed my point so completely to think we are saying the same thing there isn’t much left to say.

If you go out to a protest and aren’t networking then you’re doing it wrong.

That’s the problem though isn’t it? It’s very easy to lose people by appealing to their confirmation biases and playing up fear responses. The same methodology doesn’t work to pull them out of it because you’re going up stream, and there are literal decades of propaganda that need to be addressed when you’re talking about alternatives.

If you’re this impassioned about making a difference you efforts would be much better spent getting out and joining a organization that focuses on building community networks. You’re just screaming into the void on Facebook.

Go touch grass. No one is changing hearts through internet discourse. You have to actually talk to people.

Three more.

I enjoy supporting the developers of the platform and their federation policies. That’s really all it comes down to.

Dude the US is fully funding a genocide right now. Since October 7, 2023, the U.S. has provided Israel with billions in military aid, including at least $21.7 billion in approved funding, along with tens of billions more in future arms sale commitments.

Your entire premise is so inherently flawed.

Also rofl at you sounding like a tankie:

Also USA is not a democracy, it is a deeply dysfunctional democracy.

“It wasn’t real communism bro.”

You sure?

Really?

How sure?

Like, I could look at ICE raids and their obvious purpose of terrorizing the immigrant community, but I have a feeling you’re the type of bootlicker that thinks those actions are justified.

Keep making assumptions.

I honestly have no issue there. My issue is the claim that such atrocities don’t happen in democratic institutions.

Looks around.

Is that what you gotta tell yourself?

Tag the slop, read the sidebar.

“We’ve built too many data centers.”

“Why not build more, but this time they will be even better data centers with strategic locations.”

How bout we turn off the data centers first.

Shadow of the Colossus for sure. Such a compelling story shown and not told. So incredible experiencing in that first play through.
