You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them

I see you have the memory of the goldfish so I'll recap the discussion for you.

User above stated we need more luigis
I brought up the fact that Luigi 1 accomplished nothing
You retort that we are talking about it

So either your response was completely pointless and off topic or you meant it as evidence that Luigi 1 accomplished something. What did he accomplish? How does talking about it change anything for anyone?

literally just don't doomscroll, go read my recent post over in eudaimonia.

You literally just don't have to do it lmao.

Apathy is the greatest tool of the oppressor.

apathy is the tool of the strong in the times of the weak.

Remember, there were plenty of rounds of moderator purges on reddit, especially when subs would lock down in protest. Any mod with ethics and a backbone would've been shown the door. So I think it's fair to say a lot of the moderation problems were at least in part caused by the admins.

At least on Lemmy, different instances have different ethoses, so communities can be more in line with the instance they're on, and there isn't this need for absolute centralised conformity.

Still talking about it.

Man we get it, you don't have an argument. You don't need to keep reminding us. It's hard, we understand, not everyone can display mental competence on every subject.

I don't know, i was thinking about it and it seems like they would love it if we would just unplug like that, because then we couldn't reach the majority of people because they're only using those platforms. I fucking hate psyop bullshit for making me have to question every single fucking thought like that.

Ignoring all the times that violence did in fact help won’t help.

Are you talking about Luigi and what he did?

[email protected]

I’ve stopped. Blocking certain terms helps tremendously. I’m also avoiding what few news shows I watched.

I know we’re fucked. I’d rather be happy for a while before they drag me to a camp than miserable.

They were good, but is there good forum platforms nowadays that are mobile friendly, have apps etc.?

[email protected]

I tried but you don't want to.

"Making people all over the world speak about something doesn't means anything", he said

You're a wellspring of irony, my little muppet.

Like aside from just being objectively wrong in whatever garbage you we're going on about earlier.

UnitedHealth is contributing to the Dow's historic losing streak

Many major health care stocks have fallen sharply since UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was killed this month.

Enjoy, loser. ;>

That’s just what they want you to believe. Most of the country does not support the capitalists. Support for Luigi remains bi-partisan.

I'm on lemmy. Just got back from working with firearms at my camp today.

Turns out some mags need oiled, a dead scope battery (no extras on hand!), new shotgun strikes light, need to adjust the trigger pull (again), new 10-round AR mags are a dream, not sure about the red-dot, but it puts steel on target as far as I'm able to shoot.

As always my Colt 1911 Government Model is flawless with every mag. Compact Ruger 9mm fired flawlessly, hard to aim a 2.75" barrel. About my crappiest gun, the Taurus Spectrum, actually ran perfectly. Weirder things have happened. (It always runs perfectly, just jams on the last round, every time.)

Rotated out some old ammo, had more than I thought! Guess I was being extra conservative on holding.

For sure. This is all hypothetical. No real threats of violence here.

I’m not sure how it is possible to produce merely average people though?

Not getting excited with global solutions and utopias. At some point in my 12-15 I considered libertarianism a far wiser ideology than the rest due to this, but then noticed how there are libertarian utopias emerging for all tastes. Panarchy (that's not yet a thing), agorism (that to some extent is, with cryptocurrencies and internet connectivity) and maybe something else.

Any wise construct stops being wise if you rely on it too much.

So people thinking "correctly" are not those you want to have, people familiar with good things, but not invested too much, are.

If you build a construct (say, in a game like Civilization) with -7 modifier to fascism, then the humanity will regulate to that and negate the modifier. Then your construct crumbles, and the humanity gets +7 to fascism. Was it really a good idea in the first place then?

So I would argue that we always should remain strong… it’s just that the definition of what that even means will constantly keep changing, in response to our circumstances.

And that means that trying to remain strong we'll waste effort in all directions instead of having some when needed.

But, Stoicism, yeah - it’s literally all that we can do, so let’s do that.:-)

Stoicism is about spending effort where you should and not spending when you shouldn't. It's not pure inaction, it's the way to do less nonsense.

The UHC board still gets paid the same, the second suit behind Brian has defended Brian and the company's practices. They probably loaned out their own stock shares for short selling and made profit off of that too.

News flash, people have been talking about US Healthcare for decades. Luigi didn't prompt any discussion at all.

Not only did the USA health financing system not change, but the new admin is in the process of making ALL healthcare privatized instead by freezing government payouts to Medicaid. If Luigi had any systemic impact its that things got worse, is that what you're saying?

WDYM mobile-friendly? There are plenty of engines, I suppose some have adaptive design.

Anyway, I remember browsing websites of that time using Sony PSP default browser. This was certainly harder than anything you get today. Still bearable enough.

Just opened one forum made with Invision Power Board, it is of course not adaptive, but I don't need endless scroll on a forum. Pretty usable with, well, zoom in, zoom out, tap. All that.

WDYM have apps? You have a web browser. It's intended to visit websites. I would understand if those apps would provide any functionality outside of that of a website. Maybe putting website bookmarks on the home screen would be a good user-friendly feature for Android though. Those could even use RSS to indicate something. Maybe those should be just RSS indicators even.

If you mean that you don't want web, just something like Usenet - I have no answer except Usenet itself. Freenet (Locutus) seems to have a winter depression, but I haven't visited their Matrix channel lately.
