Keep ignoring the rest of what i said. But im getting the same usual suspect coming from nowhere replying. Its all always the same.

"Theyre all the same" finally got pushback, and now yall pretend like that was never here to discredit anyone bringing it up. If it didnt exist, it wouldnt be brought up.

Dude i dont follow u what the fuck are you talking about lol

But i always see u crop up for moments like this when someone calls out lemmy shills

Lol by sifting thru entire accounts and ignoring what i said about their shifting the public view towards where American adversaries want it? But u seem very keen on defending their entire post history... hmmm.

Also nudding whos crawled out of the woodwork. And they have, but the bulk of their work is spamming only the news they want u to see.

I hate opening this way, but, as an "artist," DL everything. Art deserves to be pushed away from profit motives and i hate hearing, "but your fave musicians wont get ur money!" Theyre not getting money off of record sales anyway, they hardly ever did. Ill put out what i make for free download. If ever ppl seem crazy enough to wanna donate, ill look into opening up those avenues, but its not like thats happening anytime soon. Way i see it, its not like i could stop if i wanted to. Why ask for money and limit how many ppl i can reach?

I left a reply to the other reply under ur comment, if ur curious to hear me elaborate on the patterns im describing. As u stated, it is not good faith criticism that im railing against. Theres not a person i know who doesnt criticize Biden, but thats not what im afraid of here.

Its bc what i was describing won me tons of bans on reddit post API changes, and then was the first thing I noticed here on lemmy on literally day 1 of making an account. The pushback at the moment is real, but take note how you hardly hear the world news subs talk about Ukraine being genocided, but you only hear about Gaza, even though the casualty count in Ukraine is much higher. The Gaza posting is relentless, too. Almost like its a distraction from the place that russia has described as a steppingstone multiple times now.

Ive been furious at israel for over half my life. Even before they started gunning the strip down, they were an apartheid state cramming as many political prisoners as they could into their jail cells. Somehow tho, that went from being a fringe opinion to all u hear about overnight. Accounts link the ones i listed in another cpmment spam post anything and everything they cant to keep the eyes of the public where they need to be. Its no coincidence that this aligns perfectly with russian goals.

Meanwhile, weve got Status Quo Joe following up on 70 years of precedent and selling arms to whats been a key middle eastern ally of the States, and everyone acts all shocked pikachu that we dont get to just shit on our worldwide softpowers and convince our remaining allies who are very wary of our continued political instability that we may just abandon them too, if only the tides swing the other way. The genocide in Gaza will not be stopped, but for the first time in my life the man in the oval office is actually dishing out criticism of israel and stood behind Schumer when he aaid israel could use new untimely elections over this.

In the other corner, youve a man who doesnt want any more free elections in the country, rubs shoulders with dictators of countries that want nothing more than for the US to be utterly ruined, and actively campaigns on allowing not just the ongoing genocides to continue, but also genociding our own, native vulnerable groups.

In 2016 id bring up the russian trolls/shills to some who claimed "nonsense, not here on reddit," or the comments sections of whatever news it was they followed. And yet, we still learned after the fact that almost every account in the country had directly interacted with russian bots at some point or another. Id like to be clear, russias MO of deculturalizing and destabilizing countries has been pretty consistent for centuries now. I recommend watching that 1980s interview with the KGB defector that floated around reddit some years back. It outlines that bit pretty well.

What i rant about is hardly a strawman. Its pushing back against narratives that seek our end.

This is not as true as it once was. Not a gamer, so i cant direct you in the best direction, but im aware that people are running the steam deck, or gog, or installing Windows on a VM on their Linux.

The worst thing Linux has going for it, is that it involves taking a leap of faith that, evidently, most are not willing to take. Theres been 20 years of "Linux complicated, not for the average joe" that most of us have had ingrained in us for a while. My initial comment was more of a joke trying to poke fun of that very notion. Its more of an option than its ever been, to the extent that even running games isnt a dealbreaker anymore. In my experience, i started dual booting Mint and Windows sometime between 5-10 yrs ago and very quickly realized that theres very little I truly need Windows for. Im not that tech savvy, i cant code, the linux terminal is daunting and i dont use it for installing all my software. Just before the plunge, i didnt know about partitions; today, i still dont understand what "kernel* fully means, regardless of how many times ive heard it explained.

Somehow someway, it turned out that after everything i always heard, there was a hardly a learning curve in using Mint bc it was so similar to what i already knew. Before id spend hrs cleaning things that refused to delete off of Windows, or learning to deal with viruses, or just getting past the babyproofing Microsoft intentionally includes in their OS. That meant that i hsd the time and spare brain power to look up the (usually simple) solutions to anything that was new and unexpected about Mint. In the case of a gamer, the time u lose on Windows bs (even tho u typically dont notice until u try a less greedy OS) is more than enough to learn how to game on Linux. And if thats not enough, i still would recommend dual booting due to the lightweight nature of Linux and how much more enjoyable simply internet or file browsing is on Mint.

i get it if its still not the time for u, but maybe it will be for somebody else reading.

Totally was :p sorry if thats a disappointment xD

Ahh, gotcha. Guess we really gotta push for Status Quo Joe harder then unless we want "stepping stone for the de-nazification of Europe" Ukraine to be genocided even harder than they currently are. Or, lemme guess, the russian talking point i see the shills parroting is, "ackshwallee, Ukraine has some guns/ammo so that mustn't be a genocide," right?

Ill add return2ozma, linkerbaan, and tokenboomer off the top of my head. Each karmawhoring to keep themselves visible.

Its not, but plenty of Lemmy accounts are running around with a vested interest of convincing one and all that Biden and Dump are the exact same candidate and not voting is the answer. Its why theyll spam anything and everything about the Gaza genocide to the front page while not so sneakily inserting comments like this or, "gEnOciDe JoE" in the middle of it all.

Indeed. Helpful would be, "try Mint bc that is likely to be the easiest for Windows faniliar users to assimilate to, all it costs is your soul."

Dump: "I wamma be a dictator on day 1 with all the reverence of Kim Jung Un. I hope to do this with the su- suppo- um- help of the very democracy loving Vlad Dr- Putin. Any one who doesnt like it deserves the gulag, or to be thrown to my brown shirted pooed boys. Also queer folk and those with more than one X chromosome are either subhuman, or undeserving of life entirely."

Status Quo Joe: "I want more of the neoliberal policies that put America on the top of the world food chain. I don't mind your being exploited for profit, or the third world, but I also don't mind you thinking for yourself and electing different choices which I and my buyers dont like. Climate change is going to fuck you, and Id feel worse if my backers cared, so how about you save that issue for when you have more of your own in power?"

Lemmy Shills: "omg theyre literally the same. Democracy is dead. America is dead and devoid of culture. Anything American media says must be a lie if its positive, or true if its negative."

And round and round we go!!! This shit stopped being possible to tackle on reddit after u started picking up bans everywhere for going against the narrative on what were once leftist spaces. I hope lemmy fairs better. Dont let the newcomers straying in fall for these incendiary tactics.

Thats it, im against pasteurization now!

Umm, akchually, fascist = fascist, sure, but antifa - anti = fa = facesit = fascsist, so clearly, as proven by my undisproveablely proveable equation, both sides are clearly fascist, frogs are gay. If democrats are stonewalled every step of the way, clearly theyre just not democracying as hard as republicans are fascisting so theyre to blame just as much as the other so, again, both sides = same.

Check.

Mate.

Reality.

Youve ignored the crux of everything ive said, and even missed the my being secular bit. No. It was no mistake. Youre not arguing in good faith. Youre sitting there saying that holding an entirely different criteria for what happened and what didnt than the whole of academia is superior to what the bulk of our knowledge of historical events/people/places up to this point is based on. You're not arguing in good faith, youre like a climate change denier arguing that their one oil funded study is well and truly superior to what everyone else knows to be true bc sometimes the little guy is right and everyone else is wrong and christianity sucks, and jesus sucks, and god doesnt exist, so jesus must not exist either.

God reading comprehension sucks

Pfft, even 2 separate ssds for dual booting doesnt stop this from happening to me -___-

On the plus side, this is the first i recall hearing of someone encountering the same issue, so i guess i dont feel as alone now.
