You don’t need to my dude. Votes were to remove the need for mods which instead you people embraced and now use for some imaginary system of digital capital?? Like when a kid an old school cash register that is so old it no longer has an value. You guys just smash those buttons like it’s modern activism and call it a day. You don’t need to my dude.
You’d need to get the attention of MAGA on this if you wanted people to do stuff IRL
They’d drive a convoy around his block blasting Metallica for a week after coordinating with their friends in the police and bringing donuts to local tow companies. Maybe if you’re lucky someone on the left will flyer a coffee shop in Chicago.
Votes online don’t matter 😆
When are you guys going to understand that.
And run away like you from everything?
Its more about how you as leftist have given up all your power to the point that successful people dunk on you without worry about consequences and all you have to show for it is being miserable. It’s not like you’re the leftist of decades ago innovating anything. There’s no counter culture that wasn’t something that you stole from the 70s. I’m going to enjoy some steak, drive my truck and fill up at bucees while grabbing some good food. You can drive around being miserable until you realize the same thing. Being a leftist today is being a miser all day. You give up power. You fail at organizing and it’s to the point that a stores who sell to the public feel its fine to literally say, yea fuck their whole state because what are they going to do. But hate me instead of asking yourselves why you don’t have power
You’re an idiot because you hate bucees
This isn’t a leftist forum. It’s just brainwashed Chinese propaganda mixed in with people who hated everything about reddit except for the moderation.
Love buc-ees I’m not even going to lie about it.
I’m getting old and I’m getting tired of pretending like eating gruel all day on the left is how things are suppose to be. When I visit america and I stop at a buc-ees everyone digs it. Hate to see this from their company but I also hate to see the left deny how great convenience is. When I was younger I didn’t get why people turn to the right as they get older. I thought maybe it was they get money or senile or something. As I get older I think it’s the slow realization that people on the left are truly full of shit. Being on the left is constantly being fed a shit sandwich and being told it’s for your own good. And I get the irony here about shit sandwiches and buc-ees. God fucking me if that shitty roast beef slop isn’t delicious after 16 hrs of driving.
You all hate these companies then fucking do something. Don’t just try to create yet another moral barrier and culture point where you have to or not to be a good leftie. I hadn’t eating chick fil a in ever. Yesterday I went and god damn was it good. But i"m just tired of living this life where every option in life is against moral or ethics and it’s is piling up while nothing on the left happens. Nobody is starting business or actually doing anything beyond standing in streets. Go out and culture jam them. Steal their logo. Put it on everything in a world where advertising is a billion dollar business be the anti marketing to their billion dollar business. But just stop finding things to force the rest of us to eat this leftist moral slop. Just be honest.
I have a folder of these I’m finding around other places. There’s a new thing I’m seeing where groups are being created in Asia. They use AI heavily to create these propaganda pieces using cartoons from western culture with messages like this over and over again.
Anyone know why?
It is absolutely not futile. It is the one area that you can truly make an improvement in things. You have only decided that its futile because you cannot be bothered which goes to my point and my anger with people like you. I think the left are being way to easy on people like you. You’re part of the problem.
I mean your logic is just so insane to me. Bots cost money. Why the fuck would anyone be spending money on bots. It’s because there’s a reason for it. What they need is for you to run away so their bot costs are lower if that’s what you believe. You give them 2 options, realize using bots doesn’t work against an aggressive left or you drive their costs up with each comment
We need to get better at driving people to these comments and just fucking trolling the ever living fuck out of them until their voice is drowned
But we’re in a digital world. Using paper in a digital age is like bringing a horse to Nascar. The left is hung up on this romanticized vision of coffee shop activism. It’s destroying us. Those solutions worked for the time they existed in. If don’t adapt we’re finished
“Effective” is the key word. Way to go jumping over that.
The progressive victories are dependent on MAGA shitting the bedding rather than from progressive doing the ground work. As it has always been. Where have you ever seen a progressive victory that wasn’t directly a result of people becoming disenfranchised after they realized the opposition they voted for turned out to be frauds?
They side with them only because thats who is in charge now. They still answer to money. The algorithms are not just “feed people racist content” it is still controlled by engagent and eyeballs. Yet the left convinced each other to removed ourselves from that equation and then are stunned the algorithms now favor right wing content.
I don’t fucking understand how people on the left say “they have billions” and then don’t realize that the billions are going to convince the left to leave platforms so they don’t need to spend as much to spread their ideas.
So you say fuck it and abandon everybody else? So you give the hate and harm a better chance to grow and propagated and lie and cheat without resistance?
I’m fine if you’re not a leftist and you don’t care about MAGA or politics and you just use the internet to look at memes about beans and moths. But if you care about the country, the current state of things, if you hate authoritarians and racists and that women cannot get abortions and you left these platforms then I struggle to form the words to describe how much i despise you. Because MAGA are what they are. Filled with hate and want to watch the world burn. But I expect more from people on the left and to see anyone say this means you know how important it is to stop them and you choose to fuck off.
It’s like hearing someone who complains about the state of things only to find out they don’t vote.
We have to. Everybody fucked off from all the major platforms and this issue went from something that was defendable to not
Zine zines.
They are a solution people took back in the day to self publish. Publishing company’s act like moderators did back in the day. They rejected this arbitrarily and gate kept what people saw. So people would create zines of their interests and leave them all over town. Some became super popular
They’re going to use that to grow lemmy.
