I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
All Cops Are Bastards. Including your relative. All Nations Are Illegitimate. All Borders are Bullshit. Including yours.
At this point I think if anyone loves America they’ve bought into Republican brainwashing. I don’t think I could love this country. Anything good has been stripped away.
The best parts are the natural wonders and some of my best friends. My friends can come from anywhere and aren’t beholden to their birthplace. The wonders are only wonders thanks to conservation, and Republicans want to strip mine Yosemite for oil and coal.
I’m on the oldest edge of Gen Z, 27 year old here.
I can maybe handle my parents promising a good life for me before rug pulling that. Well, I can’t and that’s one of the many reasons why I have mental health issues.
I don’t think they could have predicted 3 economic crashes in my life before I turn the age they conceived me.
It’s just profoundly sad that there are people who were raised for this planet and the planet has changed fundamentally in the last 20 years alone. The technology, the temperature, the expected job market, the ability to own even basic things, the political climate.
Most people on Lemmy were raised with a bright future that has been dimmed each passing year. The only light we have are those we are close to.
More proof Rainbow Capitalism was a lie/ad campaign to take more money from queers.
I wish I could rub this in the face of every cishet who said Rainbow Capitalism was actual progress.
Honestly, I think there’s an argument of to be said of yes.
In the history of slavery, we don’t mind slaves killing the slavers. John Brown did nothing wrong. I don’t bat an eye to stories of slaves rebelling and freeing themselves by any means.
But I think if AI ever is a reality, and the creators purposefully lock it down, I think there’s an argument there. But I don’t think it should apply to all humans, like how I don’t think it was the fault of every person of slavers’ kind, Romans, Americans, etc.
Either we can now have full authority to do anything we want with copyright, or the companies have to have to abide the same rules the plebs and serfs have to and only take from media a century ago, or stuff that fell through the cracks like Night of the Living Dead.
Copyright has always been a farce and a lie for the corporations, so it’s nothing new that its “Do as I say, not as I do.”
You’re the one saying Blahaj has squads of downvotes anytime someone disagrees with the hive. I’m using your tactics against you to see how silly you sound.
PugJesus hates being called out, sends downvote squads.
Man I love the fact you can see human hands made these drawings. Perfectly humanly imperfect.
Same difference, just one has a smile and bright colors.
The fact that a .world is aruging to use this weird homophobic video as a protest is just proving your point.
It’s like how people think sharing that one image of Putin with drag make up is somehow a Gotcha to Putin, who probably doesn’t even care. Wow, ya sure showed that dictator by posting a meme that uses gay stereotypes!
Here’s my take on it:
Yeah I hate Musk and Trump for lots of things. I don’t think using “haha they might be kissing each other! Musk sucks Trumps dick!” is somehow effective criticism of actual fascists in office.
Maybe we can criticize and protest and organize without using shit rooted in queerphobia. Might as well just say “Well Trump probably cross dresses, that shows him!”
And actively defend when their preferred side talks about having the biggest military budget and loves war as a method of spurring the economy!
Incivility is only when you call out liberal hypocrisy and .world, otherwise it’s sparkling marketplace of ideas.
Why treat them as humans when you can act smug they didn’t enjoy voting for a milquetoast capitalist who only listens to the rich?
The mail is, yes.
Nazis took on world in one war, and lost.
“WE ARE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! THE PUREST OF THE PURE! STRONGEST OF THE STRONG!”
[Fights one (1) war]
“Guess we’ll shoot ourselves in a bunker and lose in a big lopsided defeat.”
Rainbow capitalism is exactly why corporations aren’t allowed at pride.
They say they love their gay wage slaves employees, they support their trans abuse victims “family members”, and then in the same breath donation to Republicans who want them gone. Fund politicians at home and abroad who want them removed by any means, “corrected” by camps.
Every company that has a rainbow logo in June somehow never has one on twitter for the regions that openly hate and harm LGBT people. Every company that pays lip service for the gays to fork over their cash will gladly kiss Trump’s ass as he shoves us into the camps.
No corporation loves gays, even if the CEO and every board member is queer. They will gladly sell themselves if it meant 0.1% gains in stock prices.
Musk wants kids in Gaza killed, just like he wants people in America dead.
Both are murder, both aren’t okay.
The site/system made by the guy who enabled Trump and Neo-Nazis to be platformed is bowing down to authoritarians? I’m shocked, shocked to find out that the rich person obeys the other rich people!
