Made a mistake in par 2. Should be polycrisis is almost entirely.

Despite my Anarchist leanings, I still hate Tea-Partiers for their disregard for human life.

I mean, that wouldn't just solve the climate crisis, that would also get people to talk to each other, help people exercise, cut down on pollution...

It's a low-quality absurdist post. The joke is that waaaay too many people who aren't feminists are Nazis, child molesters, unwashed people, etc.

Standard Daily Mail fare here.

The joke is that anti-feminists usually end up being overweight pedophiles and Nazis. I thought the community was for jokes; is there some hidden rule that wasn't shown?

Immeasurably great reporting. This was painful to yet, but a blessing to know.

[–] VerbFlow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks for clearing the misconception. Are there any books on this you'd recommend?

What the hell will take their place? Another Soviet Union?

People have gotten sick and tired of r/pics having loads of political content, and while some candidates are better than others, many people are sick and tired of seeing "orange man bad" yet again. The people who were supposed to be propaganda targets immediately knew this was propaganda and the rampant election posts didn't make Harris more popular. If this plan is enacted, people will see the astroturfing straightaway, and more people will see Trump supporters as bothersome cultists than as freedom fighters. It doesn't help that, if pro-Trump people can brigade the sub, so can anti-Trump people, and the whole debacle will just get shut down.

This is just sad. How will this not get people sick and tired of it?

Lemmy is not malfunctioning like Reddit is. It is not reliant on a dogshit mobile app that constantly breaks down; it is not overrun by reposts; it has no excessive advertisements. And there is far less manufactured outrage and misinterpreted socialism on Lemmy. And that's not even getting into the fact that is is an app. Hooooooooly shit, I just hate apps on a smartphone as a maxim. That tiny fucking phone screen makes writing comprehensively, and citing sources, like trying to stack d10s using woolen gloves. It has all sorts of trinkets and rewards for browsing the damn app too (I suppose the admins know they have to goad you in), and any third-party apps trying to solve these problems were left without support. "No better" my fucking ass.

 

I know this sounds pretentious (which is quite ironic), but this is something I've noticed about the internet. You never read about what someone does, only what they say. You hear politicians claim that they'll fix the economy, or celebrities make speeches about what they feel like, or what "message" a fictional movie has being discussed over and over, but none of that matters, because it's all saying and no doing!

 

I was trying to browse the site, and I think it might be faced with a few problems.

 

The author is a "48er", one of the people in Germany who were exiled after the Revolutions of 1848. There's some really interesting stuff here.
