Ableist misogynist language

And it would be so much easier to not give a shit about any of that. You really don't get anything for standing up for the powerless (aside from the fact that our trans posters are among the most powerful ever known).

OP didn't need to compare every socialist movement to fascists but they did, we didn't need to reply to most of them, but we did. But we're supposed to tailor our arguments to you, someone admits to not actually caring about any of it? No thank you

No one is forcing you to respond to anything, let alone everything. Why don't you pick one?

How should we frame our arguments in response to a meme that paints every single prominent socialist and socialist country as fascist without addressing each one?
Really the burden of proof should be on the one making the claim, shouldn't it?

90% of them boil down to one person saying "You're uneducated on this subject, demonstrated by the fact that you're wrong"

And the other says "You're saying that because I'm uneducated I'm wrong! Haha! Ad-hom!"

But what they really said was "You're wrong, additionally, as a side note, you're uneducated and should feel bad about that"

Are violent revolutions not a form of democracy? They generally require popular support to succeed.

Are you asking if she copied and pasted an excerpt from a book? Yes, of course she did. Lol

Edit: If I took a video of myself retyping it or writing it by hand, would you read it then? I'll do it.

We're talking about 6 countries and at least 5 people in the first place, and that's only the ones named. Sorry, reality is complicated like that.

Audacious has a winamp mode and supports winamp skins.

The opinion:
"Homophobia and white supremacy are bad and should be combated"

It's interesting that you think firefox is being "controversial" when their CEO writes a couple paragraphs about combating hate speech online, but brave isn't when their CEO sends money to hate organizations. 🤔

If the user share of Firefox falls too low websites will stop supporting it (which is already happening), we will have given google the internet. Everything that is not Firefox is based on Chrome.

...the article you linked me? The topic of this discussion?

It shouldn't be controversial to anyone. The suggestions given there are pretty mild. Regardless, justice is not the absence of conflict. Sorry the article made you upset but that doesn't make it wrong.

I don't think being anti white supremacy and homophobia is shitty or controversial. Why would an Internet company write an article about something that affects the biggest sector of the Internet, social media? 🤔
"No they should stay in their lane and only talk about, I don't know, CSS or something." I don't buy it.

More info needed here. I don't see OP "making a fuss" but putting down someone's suggestion so bluntly is kind of rude.

The article is about social media.

The "precise and specific actions" called for in that article, specifically for the purpose of combating speech that encourages violence, like homophobia or white supremacy:

• Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.
• Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.
• Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.
• Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.

What's your problem here?

Are you talking about the ex-CEO who got BTFO for being homophobic? Because that was based and cool, actually.

If Democrats actually wanted to win every election from now until forever, this would do it for them. Imagine worrying how you're going to feed your kids and then the mail arrives "BTW you've qualified for food stamps for the last 18 months, here they are" instant loyal voter.

But they won't

If you like your feudal lord, you can keep them!
