Mastodon is awesome, when you block someone, they disappear from your reality, you no longer have to see their posts and comments, and they can't see yours. They're simply gone.
This doesn't work the same on Lemmy/KBIN where the "block" feature is simply a mask, where you can't see whomever you "block" but they can see, and comment on your posts or comments with no way of preventing them. On KBIN there are entire instances which even this reduced "mask blocking" doesn't even work, and gives you an error
"Mask blocking" is rife for abuse, as those who post in bad faith can have at your posts and comments with no way of preventing it
Blocking doesn't seem to be high on the list of priorities for Lemmy/KBIN, like, at all, which is a shame
Julian Assange is both a criminal antidemocratic asshole, and a virulent antisemite, watching his life being taken away one year at a time, slowly, painfully, is pure pleasure
I genuinely think that we're going to look back at our treatment of animals in a similar way that we look back on slavery. Of course, first we're going to have to get past all the people that respond to any hint that animals don't deserve to suffer with "MmM baCoN LOL".
Been one of the more frustrating aspects of modern politics. Talking to people about what is happening, and getting told again and again that I'm exaggerating, don't be ridiculous!
And then it happens, the warning comes true. And they just never acknowledge it. They refuse to acknowledge it. Again and again and again.
And every time you bring anything up, they have the same refrain, don't exaggerate, don't be ridiculous.
If they thought about it, It’d hurt their heads. And if they acknowledged it, it would be admitting they were wrong. . and possibly even worse, admitting to playing a part in the bad thing that happened.
And we cant fucking have that happen, now can we? Why be an adult, admit a wrong, and grow as a person, when you can be an obstinant bag of dicks with your fingers in your ears going “LALALALALALALA”
Idk, play stupid games win stupid prizes for sure, all for views and likes.
Legit claim could come forward on his stolen video for sure, but taking the trademark and fucking with them wins him nothing in a legal sense, any judge is going to side with CNN. “Hmm, do I side with the huge mega corporation who has a brand, or dude who is making cum shirts”
Should have just lawyered up and pressured them after they stole the video
Nah you’re assuming a lot of garbage because you’re dumb. I’m stuck in a first past the post system given a choice between actual trash or a biohazardous fascist dumpster fire. If you don’t vote, you’re more likely giving power to the biohazardous dumpster again and we all saw how that worked out. You’re an idiot if you think not voting absolves you from the consequences of the next person in power.
Nah you’re just a dumbass for thinking that voting for either of the genocidal fascists and endorsing the capitalist system keeping them in power “absolves” you of anything (whatever that means).
Political power in a capitalist state comes from organizing, not from writing the name of some maniac on a piece of paper
Vocal participation in a genocidal system is endorsement of it. You can’t tell people to vote for one of the parties of Capital one year and then suddenly tell people that actually it needs to be overthrown and think that’s going to happen 5 years later.
At some point you have to commit to it being “broken” (actually working as intended of course) and organize based entirely on the fact that it is and can not be supported in any way whatsoever. We’re long past that point with the “lesser evil” party currently committing genocide.
Successful revolutions in the past have used elections primarily as a way to show the size of the movement, never by endorsing a party of Capital.
Organize. Endorsing a genocidal party won’t stop them from committing genocide.
Stop gaslighting people. They said it’s time to march and protest and you still accuse them as if they’re participating in the system. We want both of them out. This is how movements for change start.
Classic lib take - attack the voters, because the current admin’s terrible policies are clearly their fault.
Repugs and Dems aren’t the only candidates on the ballot, and thankfully I can vote for someone who has policy positions much more aligned with my interests. Perhaps you can too, think about it. Or vote for more genocide, it’s your choice.
Funny thing is, Republicans are actually blaming capitalism, they just call it ‘the globalists’ because they are like children, and need evil to be personified for them to comprehend it.
The far right is not blaming capitalism, it is distracting people from capitalism, giving them a false consciousness to keep them from developing class consciousness. They know exactly what they’re doing by blaming the (((globalists))): it’s what fascists have been doing for the last century. They’re selling a false revolution that would only give the capitalist class even more power by stripping away the trappings of bourgeois democracy.
In general the “fat” guys came across as being way more confident / secure in themselves. Almost like the hyperfixation on fitness was a veneer to cover for insecurity. Sad.
