  • You are right about most points, but the right is not and never was about freedom, but about cementing a hierarchical order in society.

    It used used to be about Aristocrats in France.
    Today it is about keeping the rich in power and by extension to rile poor people against even poorer people (often immigrants).

    If you look at politics through that lense so many more things start to make sense.

    Old money hates new money.
    Right wing middle class people hate poor people.
    Right wing poor people hate immigrants.
    They want to look down on somebody.

  • Death threats are never nice. Never.

    But dude, what did he expect?
    He represents a government that openly supports the invasion of their home country and the killing, the raping and torture of their citizens by actively blockading the EU from helping Ukraine out more.
    Did he really think he was a welcome guest there?

  • Your family must be so proud how you defend their history of fighting Nazis by defending the AfD.

    You have no idea what you are talking about.

    Nazis committed a literal assassination of a conservative (!) politician because he was not an anti immigration Hardliner and AfD politicians visit secret meetings with said Nazis.

    Get a grip, Nazi apologist loser.

  • If meta joined, the users that make most fediverse content now will see their engagement drop.

    That's where you lose me again.
    Why would the engagement drop if a ton more users could consume your content.

    It's not like the ratio of content creators to lurkers is any better on meta apps than here.

    Btw thank you for the good faith discussion, I don't think that would have happened at the old place.

  • I know that you have put more thought into this topic than I did and you just might be right.

    But dude that wallmart analogy misses the point by a mile.
    Wallmart kills the small stores by simply undercutting them, this has nothing to do with what meta might do.

    And you didn't really argue my point that people like you and I could and probably would consume meta content if it was federated.
    But why would anyone that is part of the fediverse right now jump ship if meta came and went away again?

    I damn sure will never create another meta account or use any meta app. Would you?

  • I understand all those points.

    I just don't quite see how that would kill the fediverse.
    After all wouldn't we be exactly where we are now if meta disconnected again?

    It's not like you and I would suddenly start using threads if it started federating.

  • That's not what OP said.

    They will never grow a conscience, but they will happily throw Trump under the bus if it serves them.
    He is not one of them so he can easily be made part of the out group.

    The very second dumping Trump is better for their aspirations of power than holding on to him they will do just that.
    Not for moral reasons though, those don't even fall into consideration.

  • Well yes and no.

    The line was literally defrauding another republican and his mother.
    He could have kept on being as shit as he wants to the out-group, just never turn on the in-group, that has always been the line.
