All countries are a few steps away from this type of shit. Nation states may have been a good departure from monarchies but have very much proven to be trash; the “cultures” and “ethnicities”, etc. they proclaim to protect seem very much to be bullshit money-making schemes at best. A serious shift away from vertical economic and social hierarchies is the only solution. But deprogramming the world is not going to be easy.
Tried Sync, Liftoff, Connect and Lemmotif (I think that’s all the free ones on the playstore as of August '23), and I am always preferring Jerboa.
Jesus, what a mind job.
Cue Robin Williams Jumanji image macro with, “WHAT YEAR IS IT” text.
I was looking for Captain Marvel movie content way back when it came out and accidentally clicked on one of those pitiful right-wing, woman-hating nerdbro videos and my suggestions suddenly became quite heavily peppered with similar horrible content. It feels the same thing doesn’t happen with non-conservative content quite so much. I wonder if there’s just so much right-wing and liberal content that the algorithm’s percentage calculations don’t know how to compensate for this sort of political nuance, or is it something more insidious?
I like this type of formatting, it works quite well on jerboa and gives me an extra margin “safe” space before immediately going to a company’s website.
Ah, an inferiority complex That explains it.
I agree it’s a great name, but I am still annoyed by it’s real world counterpart. I guess brexit was all about racism and corporate greed, while rexxit is the same but opposite.
I’m from everywhere, man.
You’re splitting hairs and missing the point, your reading comprehension seems to be wanting and you are condescending as fuck.
If we’re suggesting possible future organisations, I’m with you about a global authority, but I want it to be run and maintained by some sort of artificial intelligence. There are currently no humans that I can think of that cannot fall victim to their own desires and become corrupt when faced with power. Just take that worry completely out of the equation. I would like to think at the point that we have that level of AI, that that technology will have already found solutions to a lot of our current global problems.
Until then your proposal is sound!
I disagree, it is very useful to show how the tentacles of it are actually everywhere. It is the mechanism of it that is the bigger problem. The mindset of action disconnected from philosophy is the true battleground, before intent is even part of the conversation. I believe the whitewashing of fascism is a much bigger problem than the efficacy of the term; people understand they don’t want fascism in their lives, so if you point out and are able to show how insidious and ever pervasive it is in their own lives, and how they probably have been educated to overlook it; it is very useful. A bunch of scoffing conservatives and their apologists should not dictate the language used.
I mean, you implied your experience being a part of an organisation that literally kills people for money and destroys whole civilisations wasn’t a negative one. I feel like you don’t see how hostile you actually are just by existing in that state. My words are nothing in comparison.
I’m pretty sure you just wrote down the tenets of conservatism there.
Your comment doesn’t even make sense in the context of what OP wrote. They didn’t talk about their personal experience at all really. It was more a universal take about awakening to the role of the military in the modern age. I guess, unfortunately for humanity, you are the perfect candidate to wear a uniform.
Thanks for the tip. I am enjoying seeing the piped bot providing links on lemmy. Unfortunately the old browser versions that I was able to install (edge and chrome) do not seem to want to load the site, they also give errors saying the site isn’t secure, even though it works fine on my phone. I guess I should be glad I even have the option to watch something on a slightly larger screen.
My comment was more about the knee-jerk reaction to new ideas and new ways of looking at things you may think you are already familiar with.
Things can change very fast depending on specific circumstances. I hope you’re more wrong than you think.
Oh god, I just had a flash of a near future where he’s on the US ballot somehow. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he found a way. He could change the name of the States to X too!
