I sure am grateful for how easy it is to avoid porn on lemmy, may that continue to be the case with the certain upcoming influx of it.

I personally downvoted it because it’s a terrible idea, op wants to leave the US, not sign their life and soul away to it.

In case anyone is unfamiliar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_für_Sexualwissenschaft#Nazi_era

The idea that someone just stumbles their way in to a presidency is wild. It’s also ableist to blame his bigotry and oppressive actions on how intelligent you think he is, that has nothing to do with it.

So I’ll reiterate - the fact that anyone can still think that what’s happening is accidental or not thought out is frankly more than concerning, it’s scary.

These people are following a playbook, they’ve got their own playbook for fucks sake, and they will do as much damage as they fucking can deliberately and with forethought. Pretending otherwise because it’s easier to punch down and dismiss him as “dumb” than to confront the reality of things and punch up at a much bigger and scarier target is counterproductive.

Trump – too dumb to know that water doesn’t flow uphill.

The fact that people still think he doesn’t know what he’s doing (or his advisers, anyway) is concerning. None of this is accidental, it is all about manipulation of the food supply and economy, and deliberately worsening living conditions for most people to make us even easier to exploit and oppress.

Yup, and in his specific case not just for profit, but for a place at the “big boys table” along with who I can only assume are his idols, musk and zuc.

And bend his knee faster than you can blink

Oh, I get it, I just think it plays in to their rhetoric more than it contradicts it.

They’re grasping at any and every “he’s not a nazi” straw they can find or make up, this just gives them another one to grasp to, because they wouldn’t see or care about your intent, all they see is someone deliberately avoiding directly saying “musk is a nazi” or “what makes him a nazi is…”, which is exactly their tactic and feeds in to their cognitive dissonance.

You’re giving him the degree of separation they’re looking for, which he does not deserve.

So again, I understand what you’re trying to do, but I think that not explicitly saying “musk is a nazi because…” is counterproductive.

Yeah, I get where you’re coming from, and I like your design (though agree it could be a little easier to read) but feel like this is playing in to the “he’s not a nazi” narrative his supporters are trying to push, when he is in fact, a nazi, as well as a regime enabling industrialist. The two aren’t mutually exclusive, and we should be calling the nazi spade a nazi spade at every opportunity.

this is a comment about a comic where The Purge is a reality.

I get that it’s fun to imagine, but even in an imagined purge reality…

As for toxic individualism - it’s thinking that you can get to him on your own. Each person is there for their own turn. So again - all that would end in, even in imaginary purge land is the queue getting mowed down by machine gun. For someone from .ml you seem unfamiliar with the concept of “workers of the world unite” and what it represents.

I’m also literally pointing out that serious revolutionary planning would be a much better way to actually get to him (and not only him, so actually having a long lasting impact rather than just a temporary dopamine hit before returning to the status quo), not suggesting or even implying that that’s what’s going on here lmfao

It won’t stop there, because it won’t start there.

I get that it’s fun to imagine, but even in an imagined purge reality doing what is in the comic will only end with a queue of dead people, not a dead musk.

Without uniting and organising you’re not going to put any fear in to anyone (at most, you’ll get some other rich people to get even better security like after what Luigi did before they move on with their lives, but you wouldn’t, because you’d never get through the already existing security the world’s richest man can afford).

The first step to actually changing things is to unlearn the toxic individualism indoctrinated in us by capitalism (among many other things of course) and realising that our power lays in unity.

Ooh, my username checks out 😂

I’ve had pirated copies on every pc I’ve owned for a couple of decades, “long gone” lmao

Fuck EA, they ain’t seeing a penny from me, and I definitely won’t be engaging in any “ports” that probably exist to scrape my data and charge me more money lol

Sure, but that wouldn’t take a whole line of individuals, that wold take a well organised group of a dozen or two, while more groups of a dozen or two go give the other billionaires a visit with their own trash bag, and others go and give some politicians a visit, and some bigger groups take control of the means of production, all while the largest chunk of working class people build the medical and educational and communal support that they need to pull all of that off and come back to once they’re done.

I know beating elon up sounds like masses of fun to masses of people, but it isn’t your revolution (“your” the individual, not you personally), it’s ours. If you’re genuinely that enthusiastic about being the one to pull the trigger, there will be plenty of opportunity, but you’ll have a much better shot at it if you organise with others (E: even if we go on this being the imaginary world in the comic where the purge is real, if you think in that scenario he wouldn’t have pentagon level security and mow all the people with their bags of batteries down with machine guns, you’ve not been paying attention).

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for composting elon, but that alone won’t change much.

Never forget - we are many, they are few, there is enough composting to go around, but more importantly, we need to already be creating the foundations for an alternative, better, society, so that when we abolish the systems that currently govern ours, we have a solid and equitable framework to fall back on and build from.

There are several datahoarders communities that I’m sure would also appreciate this if not want to chip in:

Thank you! 😂

So it’s just adding the American format (which categorically does not demonstrate how a month and day can still be conveyed in order of significance, but literally the opposite) in to the mix and not providing any help or making things any simpler lol

Thanks for explaining, but if the person who introduced the 1-26 concept in to the conversation (and could have easily just said “MM/DD” to make their point significantly clearer), or the other person with their lecture are actually trying to change my, or anyone else’s mind, or make their personal preference more appealing to others, this (making things more complicated, when they are already perfectly straightforward, just not how they like it) isn’t the fucking way to do it lmmfao

don’t argue for your point with arguments that can easily be debunked.

I literally said I don’t know what a thing means (and now that you’ve explained, it’s a useless instruction to give me, since all it does is add extra steps for those of us already perfectly happy with the European format lmfao), and made no assertion beyond my personal preference, kindly get off your fucking high horse.

You can do 1-26

I don’t know what this means, also I don’t have to adhere to anything, the European format works perfectly well for me, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
