Flatpaks work great on my laptop, but they have can have issues if you use multiple hard-drives or partitions. Especially for gaming.

I ve been banned from so many social media sites for being critical of capital or defending Luigi that I really appreciate that Lemmy actually cares about free speech

(Gestures at the current Trump admin) Your fear was spot on.

The rich do have flying cars. They just call them private jets. The rich own mansions (huge houses) all over the world, private islands, mega yachts that contain smaller yachts, their own submarines, and now they even have their own rocket ships

Nuance matters. You think a 18 year old boy that was brainwashed into nationalisl his entire life should be executed for being forced to serve as a cook in the military? The Nazis used conscription while the US uses economic coercion (gate keeping jobs, healthcare, and college for vets)

Thank you. 18 year old kids who were never given a sufficient education in history, civics, political science, and basic morality can't be blamed for working as a cook, secretary, nurse, electrician, intel analyst, etc in the military so that they can afford college.

Sure, but how many 18 year old boys were convicted for being conscripted into the Wehrmacht?

The US uses economic coercion to force poor kids into joining. They give veterans a massive priority bump for public sector jobs and the GI Bill is often the only way poor kids can afford college.

Also, the US military uses far more obfuscation than the Nazis used. When I was in the Air Force, I worked in geo-spatial intelligence which was mostly extracting heat signatures from satellite collected data. They kept us in the dark on what our intel was being used for. All I knew was that our intel was helping to save the lives of our fellow soldiers somehow and that the government would pay for my college when I was done.

I fear that a manufactured depression is forming that will completely wipe out the remnants of the middle class (workers who own assets).

Adobe did that to me twice and then I uninstalled it and never gave Adobe another chance. There are plenty of good free pdf editors that I don't need to support such a terrible and greedy company

Fascism is just capitalist imperialism turned against your own citizens.

I don't think kids should even stand for it. Our loyalty should be to the people, to our communities, to the scientific pursuit of truth, to the health of the planet, and to defending the unalienable god given right of dignity for all people.

True, but they start you off doing it at the age of 4 or 5 so it is completely normalized before our brains are developed enough to question it

That is weird to me because Jesus repeatedly condemned the rich. He even violently kicked them out of temples by whipping them and flipping tables. Jesus even said the wealthy will never enter into heaven. Jesus was essentially a proto-communist

I think religion is capable of doing great things, but yeah, more often than not it seems to be a gateway to fascism and other extreme right dictatorships.

The red text of Jesus was based. It taught me that God weeps for the sparrows so we also should value and protect nature. Jesus washing the disgusting feet of people who walked around all day in sandals without socks taught me that truly great leaders use their position to serve the weak and vulnerable. Jesus warning that it was impossible for the wealthy to enter heaven and ordering us to take care of the poor just like we would take care of him if he needed it taught me empathy and helped me become a communist.

So yeah, Christian communism is based, but Christianity under capitalism becomes a tool of fascism.

Unfathomably based

A unified community

That's just it, we've lost all touch on what it means to be a community. Strangers that we happen to be around or live around isn't a community. To have a community, you need to have shared roots and bonds: grew up together, work together, hold festivals together, have shared spaces that you work together to improve, etc.

Americans also love to victim blame. This poor woman was violently abducted by people in masks and the first response of most Americans will be to ask "what did she do to deserve it?"

Chinese people were afraid to discuss certain topics in public, which was not the case in the USA at that time,

Try talking about unionizing at work and see how people react. Americans are terrified of discussing critical issues in places where it matters the most.

Companies having the ability to destroy your life for having the wrong opinion is just as bad as a state doing it.

Our inner child will refuse to believe this, but history has shown us that fascists cannot be stopped peacefully.

Concealed carry might be our only real defense in the future

Lead poisoning. Leaded gasoline started in the 1930s, but in the 50s and 60s we destroyed our public transportation and then destroyed millions of black homes to build highways through our cities. So leaded gasoline peaked in the 70s.

Oh, and boomers, who have the most lead brain damage, hold all the political power because they hold all the wealth.
