- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 3 days ago:
Can only agree. Cars don’t belong in the city. They’re loud, polluting, take up unnecessary space, kill walkers and bicyclists, and so on.

Well, I dunno, I’ve lived there. But ok, just ignore it from someone who has experienced it themselves…

yeah mate, and you only mentioned the “waterfall” part afterward.
anyway, i might be crazy but calling others “cunts” while the others don’t insult you – who then is the obnoxious one?

you’re not in control of the supply lmao, the oil and coal companies are

i’m talking about you

if like birdwing says that switzerland can do it in rural areas too, then others can do so too

this dude has mad toxic energy fr

Your option sucks more though, you can’t go there if your fuel runs out. You have to pay and maintain your car for a cost much higher…
- Comment on How come NK doesn't just come out and say we are in trouble and need help? Like their lack of food and stuff? I really don't see a downside for a country admit they were wrong and need help 1 week ago:
I suppose they meant the fascists or liberals who think the US at some point ever really was benevolent.
IMHO, the closest it came was during Teddy Roosenvelt’s trust busting campaign, but still. The US is a capitalist project through and through. Being well-off I refuse to finance such a project. Let capitalism be destroyed through itself.
- Comment on What are the demands of the No Kings protests? What's the plan if they win? 3 weeks ago:
I’d have put not 100 million $, but $ 1.5 million (including bonuses) above the lowest earners in the country, pacing with inflation but never more than it. It’s the amount you’d need to live purely on interest.
This would have as compounded effect that the rich would actually for once be motivated to raise the wages of their employees, if they wanted higher wages themselves.
- Comment on Do Americans expect the NK protest to achieve anything? 3 weeks ago:
Not with that spirit. It’s a warning:
“If you don’t stop and get off your mighty throne now, we will take matters in our hands, taking democracy back to the American people”.
- Comment on what country would you never go to again? 3 weeks ago:
The USA. Even if it hadn’t gone on its path of fascism, I disliked being treated as a potential terrorist at the airport. I didn’t even ‘look’ brown, Muslim, or anything they would’ve disliked.
Having to wait 3.5 hrs without toilet break? And having to wear a helmet when bicycling? Fuck you, USA.
- Comment on If proton decay isn't true 4 weeks ago:
For some extra existential crisis, consider this.
In 1x10^10^56 years, a new big bang could occur in the universe, through quantum tunneling.
If you multiply that with all possible ways in which all subatomic particles in the observable universe could be arranged (1x^10^115), that might be a possible timeframe for a new universe exactly like ours.
That is, a universe in where you posted that comment, and I’m writing this right now. Maybe we’re doing that a few seconds differently, but overall it’s the same universe.

I mean, Trump doesn’t want competent people, he wants loyalists and yes-worms.

“This glass shines. It does so by guiding extremely tiny kernels (which repel from others) through a sort of ‘road’ where they pass easier. This road leads to itself only.
There is a place that pushes these kernels away to an area on that road they’re pulled towards. When it encounters a sort of barrier, it hits that, and splats like a tomato; that’s light.”
- Comment on UK: If it looks, sounds and behaves like an enemy, why are we calling China a ‘challenge’? -- [Opinion] 5 weeks ago:
While China is an opponent, I think for now Russia and the USA remain the biggest problems.
Russia is the source of the far right gaining power in the USA. The USA likewise needs to be brought back to normal ASAP.
Through whichever methods that is needed, I am not sure. But while China is an adversary, if I had the power to, I would reject involving Europe into the Chinese matters, certainly so long as the Russian problem is not resolved, and also the American.
If China could help with bringing down Russia, I would actually consider China as a sort of ally. After that, whether the US or China is the bigger issue, is then up to us.
Since China at least sort of can agree to international treaties, I think I know which I’ll side with.
- Comment on Cause and Effect 1 month ago:
Some countries do take action. Mine does, by banning that.
- Comment on Cause and Effect 1 month ago:
Best way to change that is to shut down algorithms that have that bias, and mandate media literacy.
- Comment on YSK the basic techniques for "deprogramming" people who you think are in a cult 1 month ago:
Wish this worked on hard fascists. Mind you they are very well conditioned to outright reject any questioning of their beliefs.

One can distinguish the two while adhering to neither.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
Lol, no. Reactionaries violently upend and attempt to revert to medievalism, conservatism does nothing; the latter might as well be somewhat apathetic.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
As I mentioned, the status quo.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
I’m not sure how effective that’ll be in the long-term though, if the less politically aware instances don’t block them, or don’t realise in time. They’ll attempt to chip bit by bit away.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
I used to be one of those oldschool conservatives. I’m much more progressive now, but what I do think helps, is the following.
Fascists won’t listen to progressives. So what will pull them out of that black hole, is having them listen to more ‘boring’ people, but without the opportunity to overtalk them. Let fascists listen to normal views and don’t let fascists take over the discussion. Never yield to their beliefs once, and have a red line. Youtube videos with comments disabled, PDFs by anonymous authors, and so on, that can help.
The common man’s best ally is reaching out to the milquetoasts, and having the fascists listen to them and you while also not listening to them. Use their own tactics against them.
I used to know one. Whenever they still wanted to discuss their batshit crazy views, I told them I declined discussing that stuff with them, and wouldn’t interact with them unless if they could shut up about that.
It usually worked (though not 100%), so I consider that a general-ish success.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
Ah, a false appeal to a majority.
Yes, sometimes that majority can be wrong. If I don’t call for people to die horribly simply because they’re not allowed to abort, which would save their life, does it make me the problem? Or what with people who shout people should be murdered because they’re Jewish/Muslim/atheist whatever?
No, the problem lies with the oligarchs fueling that hatred.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
It’s reactionary, not conservative. If they’d been conservative, they’d not actively try to revert the US back to the colonial age.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
MAGAhats are exactly the same as those who defend loli. Just ask Trump and Epstein.
I think it’s completely fair to downvote Christian fundamentalists.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
And what is that acronym stand for? There is no “kneejerk” when defederation, save for outright removing the instance, is the only sane method of kicking out fascists.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
No, the whole point of the fediverse is to evade censorship from fascists.
Inviting them over there is NOT good.
“Echo chambers” don’t exist except on fascist forums.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 1 month ago:
Bad faith answer, though. MAGA cunts aren’t “conservatives”, they are outright fascists.
If you want conservative, you’d have to look at people who just want the status quo. In other words, the more milquetoast Christian democrats.
The fediverse is only for people who aren’t batshit insane. In other words, not for fascists and transphobes.
