The last time it took us almost 200 years to get the right, and over the next 50 nobody thought to codify it into law.... I hope they fucking overturn it, and apologize.

Lots of people get used to the new normal, all of them "doing what their corporate overlords want them to" will do serious harm to a lot of people while we wait 20 years for a person to die.

Vote and campaign for better representation in Congress, vote locally, create mutual aid networks to bypass unjust laws. That's how we win.

I don't see your top 5

Are referring to some silent majority? Conservative voters are historically an over represented voting block.

But but but Hillary's email server!!!!! /s

aodhsishaj ,

Well considering she worked at the State Dept. I'm sure there were some exceptions proffered.

My argument is the email server was in line with government TS SOP and not, yah know a bathroom at a golf resort.

She did follow SOP it just wasn't FBI SOP

Be very cautious of how this is done, these are the grey areas fascists like to hide in.

You're missing the point.

If just one flight attendant can boot passengers, and there's no oversight, then there is no system in place.

'Sad Day for Free Speech': Media Matters Layoffs Follow 'Thermonuclear' Attack by Elon Musk ( www.commondreams.org )

"This is how free speech is actually chilled—vengeful dipshit billionaires," said one media executive, after more than a dozen staffers let go from nonprofit watchdog whose mission is to combat right-wing disinformation and propaganda.

I've read your line 5 times now and have no idea what you're on about.

Ohhhh the subheader in the article

aodhsishaj ,

Heard

aodhsishaj ,

Don't forget also the straw manning that's been happening for a while as well.

aodhsishaj ,

Do you have a source for that?

aodhsishaj ,

Thank you

But you say it can't happen here

Edit: changed it to literally every place you can find the podcast so as not to discourage those that have issue with certain platforms

aodhsishaj ,

I'll add their direct link too, however iheart and apple are the two podcast links most people have access to.

aodhsishaj ,

Lol there's no ethical consumption within capitalism. We're all trying out best, focus on mutual aid and praxis more than smugness, no?

aodhsishaj ,

This isn't news, it's tabloid.

aodhsishaj ,

Biden has not been socially liberal. He's been an establishment Democrat his whole career. He has trailed the left and towed the line of the party, but he has patently not been socially liberal. However, he has atleast brought on policy advisors who are socially liberal like Heather Boushey, Stef Feldman, and Brian Deese.

Here are some links for reference.

I don't think you'd feel very welcome right now. It's very difficult for the common person there. Also Milei's said many times he wants to replace the peso with the dollar similar to what Ecuador did way back when.

aodhsishaj ,

Stalin was a totalitarian not a fascist. You can have authoritarian regimes without fascism. Stalin actively fought fascists, was the main reason we won D-Day. He was also a brutal vicious cruel man who ruled his inner circle through fear and paranoia.

aodhsishaj ,

Because Stalin was a Soviet Dictator. Fascism had a direct capitalist economic component that you're completely ignoring.

This might be of interest for your further research

https://www.britannica.com/topic/totalitarianism

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin

And also

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and/or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3]

"belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and/or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy"
Is a direct quote from the link on Fascism,

I don't believe Stalin demonstrated any of that through policy.

aodhsishaj OP ,

The kind of trolls I'm talking about start a conversation with you, ask you leading questions and pull into a discussion though. Then BAM dog whistles. It's insidious.

I'm well aware of the old adage "Don't feed the Trolls"

My larger question is how do we deal with the leverage an LLM gives trolls?

aodhsishaj OP , (edited )

Yeah, that's a lot of what I've been seeing, bad faith actors sowing dissent.

Edit: ducking autocorrect

aodhsishaj OP ,

You're right, thanks for helping me reframe this.

aodhsishaj OP ,

I don't think that'll help anyone to be honest. Usually that approach just feeds the issue of Poe's law which empowers radicalization.

aodhsishaj OP ,

Yes, that's absolutely the point of my post. Big upswing in bad actors.

aodhsishaj OP ,

Do you ever sort by hot? Or are you mainly in the default sort?

aodhsishaj OP ,

My sort is hot, I'm often seeing posts you never see I guess.

aodhsishaj OP ,

You got me this time Chat-GPT4o

aodhsishaj OP ,

Why wouldn't I try to improve the ones I'm already in?

Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....

aodhsishaj ,

I'm a cloud engineer that works for a large software company that does R&D for 3D modeling companies, aero space, a couple alphabet agencies. They fucking hate me in /c/selfhosted

Put up a flyer, write whatever it is you're willing to volunteer for. Put a Google voice number on the flyer. ???? Profit

First off, solarpunk is literally a literary AND art protest movement in direct response to the greed that is fueling climate change and harming the earth.

https://builtin.com/articles/solarpunk
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solarpunk

Punk is a music AND art protest movement that is in direct opposition to consumerism and greed that exploits the working class in interest of profit.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_subculture
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock

Gatekeeping is not very punk

"If you want to write punk stories in a solarpunk setting, then you need to construct a dystopian antagonist."

Here's a great list of dystopian antagonists for you.

Peter George Peterson

Carl Icahn

Sheldon Adelson

Mark Zuckerberg

Silvio Berlusconi

Gina Rinehart

Alice Walton

Rupert Murdoch

Charles and David Koch

Peter Theil

aodhsishaj ,

DIY friend. Nobody is going to do it for you.

aodhsishaj ,

What is the actual step by step guide here?

It's literally in the posted image. If you see someone unhoused offer them food or a blanket. Help your neighbors with tasks around the house or their yard. Ask around at work about your coworkers lives and if they need help offer it. Pick up trash you see around your neighborhood.

I have an honest question, why are you posting in this community?

Also, do you know the definition of willful ignorance?

aodhsishaj ,

Ah ok, you're willfully ignorant.

aodhsishaj ,

Ah good, the intellectual right has come to save us from ourselves. Thank you savior. I'm so happy you and your alts on an anonymous forum can show me the way to properly understand a meme.

aodhsishaj ,

I think I didn't properly express my point. We're currently in the solarpunk dystopian future. We don't need to invent any dystopian aspect for punks because we are those punks.

Your fictional argument doesn't click with the posted meme for me.

To me it sounded like you were saying there is no dystopia, and with solarpunk there woll be no punks, and in my current experience both are patently untrue.

If I misrepresented your argument I apologize.

aodhsishaj ,

The balkanization of the left has been a thing since before the Balkans themselves.

Just because someone protests an active genocide doesn't mean they cannot also be upset about what else is wrong in the world.

Divisive cartoons like this, horse race politics, and the straw man argument of the single issue voter are all more dangerous than the youth finding their voice in political discussion.
