You know both your current, as well as your hypothetical self much better, however I should just say, an unstoppable nexus of chaotic energy and bad ideas doesn't sound bad at all lol.

Let her out to play occasionally, won't you? God knows we need more of that.

These are all complicated, and every country is different, but a necessary part of the short term solution, is to focus on the people doing the manipulating, and fighting them, and their interests.

Long term, right-wing nonsense doesn't hold up, and you can convince people, and help them move past that if they let go, but short term, they are just subservient to whatever the head of the movement-cult says.

The people leading those movements, are people. In very, very extreme cases, Luigi can help, but most of the time, they're rich fucks who want to get richer.

Direct opposition to their interests, works.

Greece where I'm from, has a "sold out government" problem, and our public sector is being dismantled and sold for parts, but there's a few tiny victories, where the routes for capital investment are blocked, in the last few years. Both 1) Anarchist squats block international hotel chain investment firms, and 2) beureaucratic safety laws do hold up, and block private colleges from trying to make a quick buck, resulting in reduced political pressure against the public education system.

Fighting on whichever level one has capacity for, works, whether it's from inside or outside the law. Just make it more expensive for the rich fucks to get richer.

Did you just... Does your primary argument contain "Hopefully, not many of us have to die." ???

Jesus Christ.

Look, you're right that it's just as impossible to convince a zealot (idiots who stand to gain from being obedient), as it is to insult someone back into logic (idiots who don't, but are too stupid to realize).

But don't despair and give up, because you'll be giving fascists what they invested for, with all their propaganda aimed at making you despair.

Just keep in mind, the way to change things is not to fight the vulnerable zealots for their cooperation with the authoritarian, it's to fight the authoritarian. The rich fucks are the ones who give the speeches, and lie and manipulate the zealots.

Fight the rich fucks, and fight them as early as possible. That's what nipping this in the bud (or in this case, early stalk lol) means.

Nah, I think today's generation can really enjoy orange flavor, it's just harder to get to the dish, for now.

How dare you speak this way about SatansMagottyCumFart.

You insult their honor.

I am well hydrated, thank you very much 😤

The fact that banks trust it enough, is a completely new development for me. That does sound like a new paradigm. And it's scary.

No, the grass did it on accident.

Thank you saltnotsugar, I am also well, what a coincidence, we have so much in common! Let me answer your question.

Gay thermodynamics, is a field of queer science that concerns itself with 'how hot gay people are'.

It is governed by the well known Gay Laws of Gay Thermodynamics.

The zeroth law of Gay Thermodynamics, sometimes but not always attributed to @Cypress@lemmy.zip, states that Everyone is Hot to Someone.

The first law, states that when Queerness changes in the presentation of a system (gay glowups, transition, conforming outfits, boymoding), the system's external Hotness changes proportionally. This also results in the observation that, when not observed in a specific context, every person is hot, as there is nothing to conform to, for any Queerness to be nullified.

The second law states that in friend groups, the sum total of Queerness of the interacting friends, is never less than the addition of their individual Queernesses. A common corollary statement, is that being friends with queer people, makes one hotter, as Hotness passes from the hotter person to the cooler person, without reduction of the source individual's Hotness

The third law states that, a person's Hotness becomes measurable (converging, rather than approaching infinity) as their Queerness approaches zero. With the exception of hotness derived from the second law (which can be considerable), the Hotness of a person or group, with Queerness at absolute zero, is typically close to zero.

I consent to the characterization "a gay Wikipedia".

Yeah of course, I'm already there, thanks

Good luck then!

The problem is being a landlord as a job. The problem is rich people buying up housing (or land and building on it) they don't use, in order to rent for profit.

It's about everyone who has no house. All the people who have no alternative, apart from renting from some rich people.

If someone "allowed" others to live in his house, without demanding half their salary, you wouldn't see me complaining.

And the reason that buying or building a house is so expensive, is explicitly because rich people clamber over each other, to make the best investment of their lives: Housing.
