It 100% does. I’m on 3 to get different flavors of Lemmy. I was on 4, but left an instance because of tone.

I wouldn’t call beehaw pathologically positive. They just seem to bee some very nice people that caught to create a community of nice people. It’s not a pathology, it’s a common understanding.

Maybe they’re not telling us that the screenshot was taken with a Nokia and sent to email over their sms to email bridge?

I’m leaving that typo. I love it.
- Comment on Does anyone know? 1 week ago:
Yeah, it got better for sure.
The more I know, the less I understand tho.
The resolution of the boundaries of my knowledge has increased drastically, but I feel like there are so many unknown unknowns. To be sure it’s part of aging.

And that’s by design too isn’t it? Keep everyone exhausted keep everyone busy keep everyone watching everything and there’s too much for any one person to follow, any group to follow and so if they throw enough at the wall some of it’s going to stick and that’s what they’ve been doing for the past two Trump terms and that’s what they’re going to continue doing.

Dude I feel you it doesn’t take much to be left of the liberals in this country either cuz they’re just just conservativism light!

So, neither of you are wrong. It was used correctly and people are numb to it.
Since they didn’t see stormtroopers at their doors, they figured there’s no real danger. They didn’t see that one group losing rights meant that they didn’t have rights either.
The regime is doing a good job of not terrifying their base and at the same time keeping them brainwashed and inflicting harm on the various outgroups.
What you’re seeing here, I think, is two echo chambers conflicting.

I have a coworker that is not a trumpet and not dispirited. They positively radiate denial. They don’t watch news or keep up on current events. Just a total ostrich.

So, tyrannist? Hmm that’s not catchy. Maybe just autocrat but that doesn’t contain the root of the word tyrannus. Best I got for ya.

“it helps you deal with emergencies”
Exactly why we are kept busy.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 2 weeks ago:
So, here’s my worry. Eventually the fascists will be out of power, but the real power will continue to hold. We’ll be back where we started before my time is up.
The same clandestine/occult powers that have held us back since time immemorial. And to be clear, I’m not talking about anything so easy to target as some illuminati or anything. More like some sort of greedy zeitgeist that permiates generations, classes, culture, and region. For lack of a better term, I’ll call it the dark side of human nature.
It is self organizing, self supporting, greedy, and hungry for power.
Can’t really kill it because everyone has the potential. Can’t say that under (probably vastly) different circumstances, it couldn’t/wouldn’t happen to me.
I dunno the answer.

I get this is just a shit post but this really gets at the unreality that has been manufactured for us. a lack of stability that makes everything just a little bit more unbelievable.

I mean, they’re into endless attention from sycophantic yes-men… Pretty sure they all are/do.
