those chair sitters are terrorist; how DARE you compare them our beautiful democracy and our heroic soldiers?!!! you're clearly a russian-chinese bot-shill-plant for trump!

DEFEDERATE! DEFEDERATE! DEFEDERATE!

/sarcam in case it wasn't clear.

i don't think that they're much different, if at all.

fwiw; i think that they bother at all is that they're afraid we're going to influence the liberals somehow so it doesn't matter that we're too few to affect anything and more so that they see us a threat to their "way of life." (whatever tf that means)

i wonder what this is going to look like on the lemmyverse; i expect brigading, bans and defederations at a minimum.

i wish i was as confident as he is.

i think that people make judgements and act upon those judgements based on a category or type that's familiar to them and i also think that's goes at least doubly so for anyone that has to serve the public for their livelihoods.

people see me as a type when i put no effort in and i didn't realize that until i got my neuro divergence assessment results and fully embraced the "fakeness" that my social butterfly mother taught me as a child.

i resisted it for decades because i also felt like the doctors were just chasing a paycheck and the proctors where just going through the motions and i regret the years i wasted the despite bad experiences with several of doctors & proctors.

i've since learned that no one has your best interests at heart except maybe family or friends. it's very cliche and it's very true and i hate that i have to forge and create my own world despite that knowledge underpinning it.

i hope you figure it out something that works for you; it sounds like you're in a bad place rn based on your posts and i think that this is the only way i can help.

these are fantastic for election time for me; they're so haunting for the mood i'm in while i try to assure myself that i'm doing the right thing and they directly relate to my interests in foss.

is there a site where i can go look at the entire series?

reading this article makes me wish that i lived in sweden; but only if looked like a swede.

all of our media is controlled by capitalists so i plan on going with organizations that have had a reliable history within the last decade or so; like democracynow or npr.

i didn't know that the sovereign tech fund was a thing and now i wonder how common something like that is; thanks for sharing.

it's so much worse than i imagined.
