I agree the internet feels a lot different than the eqrly 2000s, but breaking down what's different I can't pin anything concrete down.

There's pretty much no fundamental differences between how social media was and how it is now. People talk, share interests, get in arguments. What we feel is nostalgia for a wild west internet with less people and rules that will never exist again.

More people use the internet now so more people participate in the conversation. That's how it will be for the rest of human history probably.

Lol, i wonder how many of them will volunteer to work for free?

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

And when enlistment keeps dropping like a rock they will give the suicide drones to our local PDs! :D

Yeah, they capitulate on bills that seek to delegitimize trans people. So not only are they choosing identity politics instead of real policy, but even fails to support the targeted groups they talk about protecting.

Neoliberals are beginning to look equally as invalid as conservativism

Eh

I also think it's crazy how few American Christians understand to what level their ideology has been coopted by right wing extremists.

Nixon, and then Reagan, worked with celebrity megachurch pastors to manufacture abortion and anti gay beleifs in churches as a wedge issue.

Almost all political rhetoric from large churches since the 70s has been an attempt to create issues that Christians never had and then abuse their religious faith to maintain loyal and hateful voters for conservatives.

And it worked.

Oof

I feel bad for the half of Israelis who don't support the genocide and war.

The rest deserve to reap what they sow

Trans rights isn't a winning political strategy.

I say this as a trans person. Americans don't care about 1.3% of the population, they care about themselves.

People want economic progress, that's why they elected a strongman conman.

It's fine if they are his bastard children, just as long as he has some blood relationship to the people he redistributes the wealth to

That's not weird at all...

It should be redistributed to the countries he stole it from

Speak for yourself.

My city is rolling out fiber.

"He needs to be put down like a rabid dog"

The article does a shitty job of linking to the paper

It makes a pretty good case that fish experience a lot of pain immediately after being taken out of the water.

I don't think this will do much to impact commercial fishing, it seems like it's targeted at the slaughter stages of fish farms

Where is fishing banned?

Who knew kicking out every passionate person with artistic integrity and forcing the death of the artist would impact the creativity of the industry?

Jesus christ I hate game CEOs, they need to be locked in a room with games until they learn how to have fun.

There isn't a meaningful difference between the most moderate Christians and the Accelerationist Doomsayers, the only difference is the random person who controls the flock and what ideology they force on the group.

But if this gets idiots to shame religious people for falling for con men hopefully it does some good?

Call swat on them.

"Hello police? There are armed masked men waiting next to a black unmarked van eyeballing women as they walk by. I'm afraid when I leave they are going to try to abduct someone.

No they aren't law enforcement"

If they don't get guns pointed at them then you will make 4 thugs waste most of their day and piss them off.

People gravitated twoards progressive policies after the great depression, before the cold war.

The cold war was the first time the US made it legal to use propaganda against its own citizens

So basically, people will support progressivism as long as they are educated and don't have their brains raped by neo-religious and capitalist propaganda from childhood.

It would also help if men weren't the "target" of every liberation movement.

When you grow up learning everyone thinks you are racist and sexist because of the way you look then that's real bigotry.

Men don't get sympathy, neither do whites from non whites.

Starting there would be easier than stopping the propaganda

Oh nooo if we protest then he gets to declare martial law

And if we don't protest then he declares martial law

Ohhhh noooooo
