- Comment on What are the demands of the No Kings protests? What's the plan if they win? 4 days 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? 4 days 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? 4 days 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 1 week 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] 2 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 3 weeks ago:
Some countries do take action. Mine does, by banning that.
- Comment on Cause and Effect 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
As I mentioned, the status quo.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.

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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.

They remain ‘united’ through fear. The most effective method to disarm them is to aggressively change their algorithms.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks ago:
Fascists are excellent at going mask off. Too bad they don’t kill themselves like in the old days.

“boohoo, victim mode enabled”
guys maybe the one-day old account is a troll account. what a loser lol.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks ago:
boohoo victim mode enabled
go fuck your mum and grow up. be a man and support transgender people instead of being a fascist who holocausts them.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks ago:
Neither is it your fascist’s safe space.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks ago:
Being banned for a slur isn’t left-wing, fascist with _ss in their name.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks ago:
Lemmy isn’t very left. It’s just normal people that dislike fascists.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks ago:
There’s no echo chamber when you’re surrounding yourself with people that don’t want to kill and harass others for simply being themselves. You’re not in one.
Fascists on the other hand, are certainly in an echo chamber.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks ago:
It’s their “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” attempt. We’ll use it on them instead.
“Deny, defed, disunite”.
