My comment had nothing to do with xioami being Chinese, a corporation is a corporation and they're all trying to collect as much of your data as possible, I guess you can let them if you want lol ¯(ツ)/¯
Jfc what an out of touch and wilfully ignorant comment.. 🤦♀️
Never mind that Netanyahu has spent the past decade or so actively and successfully eroding whatever pretence of democracy existed in Israel before..
Go through any and all available privacy and permissions settings and make sure you're not sending a bunch of info you don't want to be to xioami and google (and any app you download)
Yeah, it can spiral downhill pretty quick, and it's often the same handful of people who go around doing their wilfully ignorant reactionary thing on every fucking post (and since we can see them on kbin - another group who lurk and downvote any marginally leftist comment without engaging, because gods forbid their bias gets challenged)..
Trying to help these people learn is great, but can only go so far as long as they aren't interested in knowing. The undecided lurkers though, those are the ones you hope are picking up your knowledge!
Tell me you know nothing about anarchism, communism, fascism, or socialism, without saying you know nothing about anarchism, communism, fascism, or socialism lol..

I thought 196 was more … leftist
Unfortunately once there are more than a few votes a post will reach /all, making it visible on all instances, and with that come.. the others.. lol
"An"caps are not anarchists
I find that a lot of people just like to feel superior to others, and slinging ableist slurs is an easy way for them to do that because it puts the other person down without them having to actually invest any critical thought in to why.
They also generally already look down at disabled people, so they don't see anything wrong about using these slurs since the people they think they apply to, are, in their minds, already not worth considering as part of society.
You're absolutely right about the similar arguments that extent to other bigotry and toxicity, especially in leftist spaces where you'd hope people would know better. I think this article also does a great job at explaining how the words we use shape the spaces we occupy, and who does and doesn't feel welcome and included in them., but unfortunately as with so much other information, the people who need to hear it most are those who refuse to listen..
Lol, after posting, I almost instantly started seeing reply numbers go up, but I wasn't seeing any of them, ngl, knowing I'd already blocked them all felt fantastic. I made the mistake of doing what you did, knowing what to expect but not being able to stop my self, and it was as depressing as I thought it would be. Not checked again though, which I'm very proud of!
You're spot on about it being a litmus test, I especially hate it when someone I thought better of fights back, which sadly happens often, but didn't this time, so yay.
Prairie pothole through and through.. 😂
Made a more inclusive version, for future reference
I was mid sip and reading Sbarro nearly sent a load of drink up my nose 😂
Plenty of vegan Worcestershire sauces available, just like there's vegan cheese and butter and milk and sausages and burgers and nuggets..
You being a pedant/snob/militant carnivore/whatever isn't going to stop people making vegan versions of things and calling them the thing. Because there's no reason not to other than the hurt fee fees of people like you.
I started reading knowing nothing about this person or what happened to her, so at first I'm like "ok, this seems reasonable", "why would you get fired for this", but there it is, those last two words like a slap in the face that change the entire context of where she was coming from, and going, with that twisted thought..
They always blame marginalised people for "playing the victim", but there are no bigger victimhood seekers than bigots. It's projection all the way down.
Wait, so you mean other people aren't constantly working hard to suppress all their overwhelming emotions in an attempt to just make it to tomorrow? 😬
Tell me you didn't click the link without saying you didn't click the link (hint: it literally tells people to vote).
Also tell me you buy in to the distraction propaganda without saying you buy in to the distraction propaganda (hint: having a red tie on while not opposing a single piece of fascist legislation makes you, at the very least, a fascist enabler, or in reality, simply another fascist just one who is better at hiding it)..
You're literally giving a live demonstration of why continuing to play within their rules leads nowhere but deepening the divide within the working class.
Blaming the people trapped in it, for the system keeping us all down, instead of those who created and benefit from it is one hell of a self destructive trick you're doing for your overlords..
Either way, you're an ableist piece of crap, licking a boot because you've simply grown too comfortable with the feeling of it rammed down your throat, you have no high ground here. ¯(ツ)/¯
Was just setting up my viewing for the rest of the evening, and ironically enough, it's on tonight! 9pm on Quest (and again on Quest +1) .
So at 9 I'll be watching the last episode of Miners' Strike 1984: The Battle for Britain, then V for Vendetta at 10.. Good inspirational viewing.
Yeah, no, we're long past that point

Ha, fair enough..
It's just the first thing I do with a new phone is make sure privacy is as tight as I can get it (without rooting since I'm not confident enough to do that), so that was my recommendation to you.. I also have an older xiaomi, and a newer honor (from after their split with huawei), neither are amazing but they do the same job for so much cheaper, I really can't see why people insist on spending thousands when you can spend hundreds for pretty much the same thing..
