  • his suffering is self inflicted. there is a way for his suffering to end and it's to learn hoarding all the wealth in the world and all the power has not and will not make him happy

  • tech, food, anything

  • i'd be willing to give tesla buyers benefit of the doubt up to 2016. after 2016, no excuse.

  • 100%. i'm only trying to explain how the brainwashing works and why it's effective. to combat it you must be aware of its mechanisms

  • dude's not even a hillbilly. he's from basically cincinnatti and spent summers visiting Jackson, KY.

    I don't tell people i'm from des moines because i visited my grandmother there every year

  • oh i know. i'm speaking on this as a rural citizen who's seen how my neighbors are manipulated. per capita, rural tax payers get more back from their taxes as benefits than city dwellers. the rural voter sees that it's not enough though and seeths with anger. being isolated by the land around them, they're easier to manipulate into blaming someone in an apartment than in a penthouse or mansion. the best way to resist fascism is to go out into the world and talk to people. the rural voters who fuel fascism are less able to do this thanks to their material conditions, making them more vulnerable to bullshit propaganda. urban voters meanwhile, are not immune to fascism, but are far more likely to encounter perspectives other than their own by the nature of their lived experience in a large community.

    the most terrifying in all this are the suburbs. the places where people actively choose to tune out of being connected in favor of a 1950s vision of america that would be easier to manipulate a la brave new world and 1984 into working against their own best interests.

    fuck. i'm gonna have to go listen to nazi by chumbawamba now…

  • how is that the point you were making? it seems like the opposite of the point you were making. i'm confused and i think i just don't understand what you're trying to say when you say matrix doesn't federate. because from one matrix server you can talk to other matrix servers, but from rocket chat, that's it, that's the end of the line. your server is your server

  • man that's so sad. how far the amazonians who scared the romans shitless have fallen when even eastern european women are trad-wifin' it. and what's sad is that the way she gave up her dignity is she was convinced since birth by people who were convinced since birth that she had no dignity in the first place. it's possible to cherish your children and to take joy in home tasks without treating it like its your only value

  • i know. it's the rural/urban divide the capitalist class has used to divide us for as long as we've told stories about the subjugation of the people to the will of the kings, emperors, and pharoahs. they convince the rural worker they have nothing in common with those high fallutin' city folk that benefit from the fruits of the farmer's labor. never mind that the city folk are just as destitute as the rural folk, and are simply trying to survive their material conditions as well. the rural worker hates the taxes they pay, and sees construction in the city and thinks their money is being funneled to benefit the urban worker. the truth is though that the capitalist would stop maintaining the city immediately, but it's cheaper for them to keep making sure the city folk don't revolt from strictly necessary aspects of city life to maintain their workforce of cleaners, cooks, and planners.

    but none of this stops the capitalist from funding propaganda to tell the field worker it's the city's fault they're poor.

    it's all a great big joke when you peel back the layers. a painful, cruel, and twisted joke

  • amazing what happens when you get to know a nazi on a deep level. see how petty, small, and dangerous they are

  • we're currently clean on OPSEC

    This is the dumbest man. Also this is the dumbest, man. Fuckin' 80 years of being instructed on how to recognize and resist a rising tide of fascism down the drain because not enough people understood that it was real and not just fun and games, and too many thought themselves the kind of rugged individualist who would survive full blown war, famine, and genocide by the nature of their incredible strength and willpower. The somehow don't take into the formulation of their plan to survive fascism by siding with the Nazis that WWII was brutal for the Nazis. 5-6 million Germans died as a result of military losses and Allied air raids

  • no for sure. it's just we live in hell and there's gonna be times you're gonna be somewhere and you're like "even a pretend friendly stranger who sucks will be better than nothing"

  • that's on me. i came in here hot under the collar based on dipshits i know

  • i assume, if this were real, which it isn't, the idea would be that everyone on the app has to pass a background check, so if you're walking through an unfamiliar neighborhood and you're a class of person who has reason to fear walking alone, you'd have someone there with you to help you be just a little more safe. obviously not as good as an actual trusted friend, but for certain people in certain situations, better than nothing

  • the problem is our bosses, and too many people too broken to stand up and fight them

  • yeah boo fuckin' who the christian fundies had to go in person to find out israel is a fascist hell on earth. they clearly thought they would be exempt from that because "they're good people"

  • it's so frustrating how little we listen to eachother. black and jewish new yorkers have been saying what a huge problem this guy is since the 1980s. but did he go to jail back then? no. he just slowly amassed clout until he was president

  • hey now. there's no need to use that language here. sex work is difficult and involved, and many whores work tirelessly when they're not getting paid to organise and fight for a better future through political engagement. they're less like whores and more like vampires
