Stockholm syndrome is a very scary condition.

You can block ads on youtube on mobile devices by using firefox in desktop mode with ublock origin.

Fuck youtube. Fuck ads. Fuck useful idiots defending either.

The competition for youtube is peertube, not another centralized platform.

It just needs content.

Power-tripping mods are the bane of the modern internet.

But unfortunately, it still is the best option for a modern day message board.

For small communities that don't have a significant lemmy presence? Sure, for now.

I'm never going back to a community that can remove news-related posts without a modlog. That's just asking for censorship and abuse by bad actors.

This is why freedom of speech is important and why it's important to argue specifics instead of generalities.

It's easy to say something is "antisemitic" and get an emotional response from useful idiots. It's a lot harder to explain why something is antisemitic and get the same response if it's not actually antisemitic.

College students are easily subjugated.

I'd legit settle for us no longer being useful idiots in our social circles.

i.e. being proud to pay for things we can get for free while complaining we don't have enough money.

Freedom isn't free.

This generation needs to learn to fight.

Are there any records of universities cancelling graduations ceremonies and/or arresting students for their support of Israel and/or Zionism?

Sorry, I've already replied to you explaining basic economics.

You're the one who doesn't understand, and linking sensationalist blogs doesn't help your credibility one iota.

It really boils down to this: why would you go to bat for people who have more than you? They only get more by taking in more than they put out. This is called "maximizing profit."

At every turn, the people you're defending do not say "Neuromancer pays his fair share of x." They always look for ways to get you to pay the absolute most that you are willing and able.

It does not make sense for people like you to say millionaires "pay their fair share" when they only become wealthy due to exploitation of everyone else who has to work for a living.

The fact this needs to be explained to you really shows how unaware you are of the world you live in. If you're over the age of 18 and you still haven't figured these basic facts out, that means you're being taken advantage of left and right without even realizing it.

"A fool and his money are soon parted."

The rich already pay more than their fair taxes.

Yeah. Don't listen to this guy.

and he has no clue how the economy works

That's the thing. He knows how the economy 'works', it's just that it works for the ruling class and not for everyone else.

Guess what? The only way to reduce the disparity in wealth is to reduce the disparity in wealth. This means those who have too much will get angry because they have less so others can have more.

slava ukraini?

It just makes sense.

Charge people what they're willing to pay.

He's not a part of both sides.

Fuck everyone who voted for joe and hillary in the primaries.

The ones they were supposed to retake Crimea with but ended up getting pushed back instead.

All the shit we built to beat up Ivan is finally getting used

I was referring to this, not F-16s.

There's definitely a lot more censorship going on now.

At some point, we have to take the law into your own hands.
