I was banned from 196, I don’t know why or when, and can’t be bothered to find out. My guess was always some nutjob mod, but life is too short and I simply don’t interact with the community any more.
Crazy mods in the end hurt the community more than they could ever hurt others by banning them.
The problem is that most “anti racism” campaigns are just low ganging “white men bad” bullshit. They don’t actually tackle the source of racism or actually do anything to help minorities, since that would cost actual money.
So they just attack white men, which alienates working class people because they are getting fucked by the system just like the rest of us schmoes.
In reality it’s another way to divide the working class against each other, because Cletus from Alabama is getting fucked just like Wayne from the Bronx, but they are both being pitted against each other by the ultra rich and mega corps.
The right latches onto the anger of Cletus and tells him it’s all Wayne’s fault the left rushes to the side of Wayne and tells him Cletus is a racist piece of shit that needs to be knocked down a peg.
Meanwhile, Chad is siphoning both their 401ks and laughing his ass off from his mansion.
lol that’s way too much effort to give your hard earned money to a shitty company
I avoid Best Buy like the plague, I can’t even remember the last time I went there, maybe 5 years ago? I went to buy a monitor and had to pass like 3 fucking security checks and a receipt checker.
The whole experience was so off putting, I just never went back.
Absolutely. My baseline is that I want everyone to be treated equally and with respect. I want everyone have the same protections from the government and everyone to be allowed to be and to love whoever they want.
Past that, it gets into minutia I just can’t get on board with and it’s hurting the left as a whole because people are trying to force language and thought policing on people, which I don’t like, it’s authoritarian, and I think it’s a losing strategy.
I keep hammering this point every time this is brought up, PR and NAMES matter! BlueSky is a nice non threatening name, Mastadon is an awful name for an app. It sounds way too close to mastrubate.
I don’t know how much Democrats were into it vs how much they were pussies and afraid of looking weak on defense so they went along with the fuckery
Part of the problem was that we Americans are massive pussies in general, and we were all scared shitless after the attack and Republicans exploited that perfectly to divide and conquer us.
I remember the coverage after 9/11 and it was just fear mongering 24/7 and any overreach was just accepted as necessary. No-one really pushed back because everyone was afraid of being called un-American.
This should be the top comment. Most conspiracy bullshit always has some grain of truth, so when you dismiss it with factually wrong information you just solidify the conspiracy mindset, since you “don’t get it”.
The best way to fight conspiracy theories is to engage them head on and make them prove the claim. They’ll try and miserably fail IE flat earth.
The fact that OP took time to explain everything to you, and you choose to focus on such nonsense instead of seeing the whole picture presented to you shows you have no intention of learning or growing.
There is a big difference between the two!!
You do not chose to be black, you chose what fairytale to believe in.
You do not try to convert other people to be black, religious try to convert others into their nonsense.
You do not kill people for stopping to be black, Islam does.
Religion NEEDS to be mocked, because it is ridiculous and it is infecting everything around us.
I wouldn’t care about anyone’s religious beliefs if they practiced for themselves and left everyone else alone, but they never do. They have to spread their bullshit and infiltrate governments to try to legislate their bullshit.
Next! Wrist control!
Honestly G might be worse than B at this point
Cute of you to think those corps give a shit about what the consumer thinks or wants
The treatment of women in these Islamofascist dictatorships is our version of the holocaust and we’re all just sitting by and watching.
I don’t know what we could even do, but I’m always filled with so much sadness thinking about the women and girls in those countries.
Fuck religion and every preacher scheister spreading that shit.
🤣 For real, the dude is describing exactly why containers were invented
YouTube apparently needs money from me for all the storage needs!
Yet somehow they have money to spam the platform with this nonsense… 🤔
I have the family’s next vacation picked out! Saudi Arabia, where they’ll have a fully stocked bar of alcohol and pork waiting for them to enjoy! What could go wrong!
Stop spending your money in these Islamofascist countries!
Break how? As in the photos aren’t organized, or we just nuked your entire library?
Ah ok lol funny, if I’m a misogynist apologist then the world is really fucked 😂
