It’s depressing how many people need to learn this. Even more depressing is now many people never learn.

While I think ableism is an issue, I don’t see you describing that. What I see you describing white supremacy, because that is what created and reinforced inherited wealth. Add on the Property Theology (which I’ve been told has origins in Calvinism) and it helps solidify race and class hierarchies.
I came in here to say just this. I’m a Jewish clergyman, so I deal with this kind of shit a lot. The term isn’t just brainwashing; it’s actively seeking to erase Judaism as part of Christianity. It’s shit like this, combined with Christian Nationalism, which makes me jumpy at first when someone identifies as a Christian.
I’ve been seeing a number of people talk about this laptop on Lemmy, and I can see why. I have dreamt of building out a laptop like my desktops, and these folks seem to be able to make it happen.
That made me lol
I’ll chime in with my vote for NewPipe as well. It’s served me very well, and does so much.
And it’s so blatant too.
Mr. Trump intends to bring independent agencies — like the Federal Communications Commission, which makes and enforces rules for television and internet companies, and the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces various antitrust and other consumer protection rules against businesses — under direct presidential control.
First thing listed in the article is control the message, which is done by controlling the media. Straight out of the fascist playbook.
I think for a number of us it’s nostalgia, like what @Tosti@feddit.nl was saying. I too was there when the old memes were formed. And I think you’re on to something too, OP.
Social media as already fostered multiple genocides and destabilized democracies. It does not surprise me that this would be added to the list.
If no one was telling them it was broken, why fix it? That costs money, a cardinal sin against capitalism.
I don’t expect the people running a company to have morals, because moral behavior is bad for business.
Well, this is terrifying. Just what I needed today.
Just read an article about this at The Guardian. It makes me sick that people feel okay denying women necessary health care. It’s one more step towards theocracy.
I do hear you there. Perhaps I could have phrased it by acknowledging that a broken clock is right twice a day.
TUBERVILLE: My opinion of a White nationalist – if somebody wants to call them that – to me, is an American. It’s an American.
To be fair, he’s not wrong about that. Sadly, White Nationalists are not strictly Americans.
Honestly, that doesn’t surprise me that much. We already know that the GOP cares about money more than it cares about people. This is just confirmation.
Leave it to the U.S to use and export munitions banned by ~120 other countries because they’re practically a warcrime.
Liberal democracies love their dictators, as long as they remain theirs.
I hope the creator goes to tech heaven.
