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

You are correct. These people won't be stopped with words or rational arguments. They are past the point of being able to cooperate. We will be killing each other before long. Sorry to say, but if you don't have the tools and skills to do that, you might want to learn. Or be prepared to be owned or killed by those that do. Adolph Musk and crew want to OWN you or DESTROY you depending on how you look. Start preparing for what that means.
I fucking hate that it's coming to this, but without a major change of direction (that I see no evidence of yet) that's where this ends up. The red menace was in our own country the whole time.
I am an infantry veteran and I will be fighting on the correct side of history until I can't anymore. I do wonder how many of my fellow comrades I might come into conflict with once this all kicks off.

That's because there are a lot of marginlized folks here - gay, trans, autistic, linux users

I'm talking about a guy who made no impact on a single company much less an industry and then went to prison, throwing away all of his rich boy ivy league education.

I mean 54% read at or below a 6th grade level, so that makes sense. Almost a fifth to a half of adult Americans are functionally illiterate depending on how you define it.

Since you're refusing to back up your stance I take that to mean you've resigned from the argument and that you agree with me.
-
Back up my stance of "you're talking about it" when you begin your comment "I'm talking about it"?
I really don't see a reason to "back that up" any further. You did all for me.

Also in that field, but… I think you have to acknowledge that being, usually, in your example 1) at work and 2) on a computer, make people that much less interested in giving a shit. Compare to various systems people use in their free time, and you probably see that people are pretty good at attending to the things they think matter.
Capitalism, or, at the very very least, unfettered capitalism, are the real problem, not people writ large.

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.

I brought up the fact that Luigi
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.
