If you use these services, please donate once or regularly if you're able. They are free as in puppy, not beer - dev work costs money. I would guess many people using Tor/privacy tools are tech savvy enough to have financial comfort due to a good career. If you do it you're doing an everyday act of rebellion for the sake of progress!!!

Right but it's a nicer word to use imo.

They are victims, not "peasants" or "serfs".

What other reason would tech billionaires and CEOs care to spy on you? They bought everything else, they have a privacy fetish obviously.

And the engineers who work there too.

They are pretty conservative now though. It sounds liberal but they slip misinformation and doubt in to make everyone more moderate. Plus sensational claims that lend credibility to right wing critique. That shit works like a charm on my parents, they'll say "we hate Trump. But you have to admit Joe Biden wasn't fit for office, he had classic early dementia... Kamala just didn't seem experienced enough". They voted Democrat but there's more doubt and misinformation now, they're smart people too ☹️

Misinformation is one helluva drug.

"You're so stupid, do you only look at charts? There's a lot more to it than data, Trump is making decisions you can't even comprehend. You don't understand the greater plan, you can't always be nice to other countries, we can't bail out Canada and Ukraine if we want to be great." Probably that from the "smarter" ones, blank stares and drooling from most.

In 20 years after all journalists are fired or leave, The Onion will be the only news outlet left.

I swear Reddit has bots/trolls/AI designed to argue and rile you up to increase engagement. We see it in reposts/titles, why not in the comments?

Sometimes they literally just are. Not seen it on Lemmy but on Reddit I definitely interacted with users, age under 1 year, all suspiciously pro-Putin. It's rare and I'm looking for it, but still.

It did very, very well in the box office. Yes this film aged beautifully, glad you caught it!

There is a precedent for lawlessness. Literally anything is constitutional now, you just do it and ignore the court ruling. Where have you been the last decade?

Agreed the problem was baked in during the Ohio Compromise and at other times, it has nothing to do with population size because we're talking about a small number of elites, not popular will.

This IS what fighting back looks like. It takes many forms.

Upvoted for honesty lol.

Somehow I doubt allowing it actually meaningfully helps the situation. It sounds like an alcoholic arguing that a glass of wine actually helps them not drink.

That reminds me of the time I bought a CyberTruck, my other IRL Lemmy friends thought I was super cool for buying a CyberTruck. Basically everyone on Lemmy owns a CyberTruck. Really great financing rates for CyberTruck, am I right guys?

I'm only here because I saw it posted on Reddit over the years. Keep doing it, it's working...

You want to brag about civil rights? Here in America some guy filibustered for a long time. Well it wasn't a filibuster, more of a really long speech. But he really showed the fascists he could talk for a really long time. Take that France.
