People are still questioning why??
Propaganda machine be propaganda machining.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In 4 years (hopefully), we’ll have someone else in charge, and I am going to be right here, ready to pick up where things left off.
I know you mean well, but if you genuinely care, you're going to have to do better than that at this point. "Where things left off" was already bad for a lot of people, and even if society at large does get back there, many of us won't make it that long.
No watch how nothing changes, because it's all completely deliberate..
DANGER: Ball to the face
🤣🤣🤣
I was actually trying to think up a similar list but was too tired, thank you so much, these are brilliant! 😂
They can transfer the moderation of the community in question to you.
To add to this, if OP doesn't actually want to become moderator of the community themselves, there are still other options - the instance admins can transfer the community moderation to a third person (I seem to remember there was even a dedicated community for finding new mods to take over dead communities), or they could potentially find a similar community on another instance.
Retail giant Monsoon's CEO calls on UK to scrap tax loopholes benefitting competition, so he can continue to exclusively use them himself
FTFY
The CEO, like all CEO's is concerned with his own companies profit margin, noting else, but especially not "fairness".
country's procurement system is accused of costs being cut at the expense of people's safety
How unsurprisingly capitalistic of the CCP..
They
Will
Never
EVER
Voluntarily take accountability for their actions and repair the damage they've caused.
The bosses need to be locked up, and their PERSONAL assets liquidised to pay for the damage they've caused, and to compensate all of the bill-payers who have been paying for proper sewage disposal that never happened. Then their companies need to be dissolved, and until we're able to abolish the state, too, all be nationalised.
Of course Keith (or whichever institutional puppet comes next) is just going to keep giving them slaps on the wrist while patting them on the back and congratulating them on their record profits, but still, it's nice to imagine..

If only it weren't so much easier for so many to believe the lies* than it is to face the truth

A 3 panel comic titled: "Aktion Kat! in: Konspiracies!"
2 anthropomorphised cats sat on the floor next to a lava lamp, passing a joint between them.
The one on the left is sitting barefoot and cross-legged on a pillow, they have long hair, square sunglasses, ripped jeans and white vest with a big medallion around their neck.
The one on the right is Aktion Kat, sat directly on the floor. They're wearing a biker jacket that has an "A", a hammer and sickle, and a smiley face pins on it, and a hat or helmet with a big "A" at the front, and goggles. They also have big boots on, and a small bandage on their tail.
Left panel: Stoner cat, takes a puff, passes and says: "hey kat! [koff!] ya know-it's all a big evil plot. the whole system is really being kontrolled by a shadowy satanik alien kult that pulls all the strings with mind kontrol, motivated solely by their lustful kraving for human suffering...."
Middle panel: Aktion Kat, taking a puff: "isn't it easier to believe that we live in a hierarchikal global ekonomic system based on the akkumulation of wealth, in which a small group of individuals and institutions own and kontrol the majority of resources and exploit the insekurities of the lower classes to amass more kapital, maintain their power, and further their own self interest?" koff!
Right panel: Stoner cat, pointing and smiling: "what??? you really believe that? you're far out kat!"
Aktion Kat, with a black squiggle above their head, facepalming: "what a buzzkill"
*Lies spread and or cultivated by those in power with their vast media empires, grasp on the state and its educational and legal systems, and ability to keep the working class too busy grinding for survival and divided against each other to unite and utilise our collective power, of course. But still.

ID: a drawing of a very concerned looking person, their eyes are wide, and they're holding a hand up to their mouth, it looks to be out of an old comic book, they're saying "the rich aren't your role models - they're your oppressors"
It was just a matter of time (and don't be mistaken, he will act on it), but the general population sadly won't give a fuck (that's the only purpose we serve those in power, always have - a litmus test to see how comfortable the general population is with inflicting suffering on to and even exterminating groups of people), if anything a lot more than just maga people will be cheering this shit on, or at the very least "passively" supporting it (even if they don't think they are, saying shit like "stupid people shouldn't breed"* is the same eugenicist shit).
The usage of IQ as a measure of anything at all is in itself deeply eugenicist (so ableist, but also racist, classist, and sexist), but try telling people that and see how quickly you get dogpiled by so so many desperate to cling on to the sense of superiority an arbitrary number (which often came from an online quiz, though tbf, those are about as valid as a professionally administered one) gives them. It's so problematic on so many levels, and serves no purpose but to divide and oppress.
I agree, it really is fucking scary..
E: *like several variations in the replies to this very post, people seriously need to do better.
