aka “no kings protestors” lol

i wonder what it means that they only seemed to care about conservative’s support for isreal; not liberals.

it’s troubling to see such good work get buried so effectively in the american media

there’s also #3:

there are ways to entangle him into the legal system so that he could face justice, but doing so would force mamdani to expend all/most of his politlcal capital and will backfire badly if he fails.

so he’s going to do the same thing that the democrats have been doing for the last half century on any progressive legislation/order and simply say that they can’t do anything because his hands are tied by the system.

i bet it’ll be attributed to the “terrorists”

Meanwhile IMO forced verification of users had a much better success rate 😉

i wish they had spent some time looking at the effectiveness of both combined instead of just this one little blurb:

lying about age on verification prompts (57%),

that’s roughly the same percentage of americans who can see a genocide live streamed to the palm of their hands every day and still won’t accept that it’s a genocide.

past laws barring/gating access like these have shown that the vast majority of people won’t try to get around them – and that’s actually the point. In a liberal democracy, it’s useful to have only a tiny fraction of the population understand how things really work. that small group can then be easily dismissed as extremists, just like any other fringe group. this helps reinforce the country’s mainstream narratives and propaganda since the “silent majority” seem to be going along with it.

it’s not that it doesn’t matter – it does.

it’s that the people who are supposed to enforce it only give af when it benefits them and it’s our responsibility to either force them or replace them.

it seems like an impossibly large responsibility, but we’ve done it before – several times – and we can do it again if we could stop swallowing the propaganda that we keep reinforcing upon each other.

soft fascism has become baked into western society and it acceptance for casual brutality from the authorities.

60% of americans are still buying it and i suspect that the combination of the upcoming age verification laws and doubling down on complete media capture will reverse the tide since social media is the only viable outlet for contradictory narratives in the united states.

it looks like it’s been isreal recently and in latin america

brilliant, minesweeper has never been so much fun! lol

what did you do to trigger the down votes? lol

this is a hauting af image. did you create it?

ansible strenght is in configuring fleets of linux machines, lending it to being one of the best tools for clusters like this.

media, technology and telecom firms are all now self-censoring and/or pre-complying rather than requiring laws to tell them what to do and i struggle to understand why the administration doesn’t simply go through these VERY effective channels.

that’s all it takes to be “close”?!

it’s to be expected i’m afraid. privacy & software engineering are probably the newest members of the labor aristocracy and history has thoroughly proven than the labor aristocracies will also side with the fascists.

support had me select the “plus” (aka “Plus INTERNET”) APN for my phone in my area

i’m surprised to hear it since support told me that they don’t know of any other apn setting that i could try.

mind sharing the instructions that they gave you?
