they're creating a new religion before our very eyes. best to get versed in discussing theologies because that's the propaganda language they speak and how we'll deprogram enough of them to survive this

when the law that was passed was "allum. the whole kit and kaboodle."

our constitution is intentionally structured to favor the wants and needs of capital holders instead of the working people

it's a death cult. that much has been clear for ~5 years now

the enemy is both everywhere and being kept at bay. it is simultaneously strong and weak.

this is a key aspect of fascism

i was coming in here to say that while this post is a joke, there is a non zero number of solar farms that use hyperbolic mirrors and glass tubes to super heat water generating pressure to spin a steam turbine

yeah. i'm fully willing to believe a bunch of these tech ceos are neurodivergent as they claim. HOWEVER. we all know neurodivergent people who don't weaponize their neurodivergence to justify eugenics, mass surveillance, or just plain being shitty to people. we don't have to respect your autism excuse when you do something shitty and then ask you why you did that.

the issue with maga recognizing it is they relish it. that's what they're here for. they think this is what it means to hold the elite accountable: sending mean tweets, being a petty bitch, lashing out omnidirectionally.

where trump is losing people, and i'm starting to really see it in my community, is his claims that america has never been more affordable than it is today. you can lie about why you're going to war and the dangers posed by people racists don't talk to, but you can't lie about the price of bread. you can't hide that. everyone can tell if the cost of living is getting better or worse. they can tell because we're all living it

it would be if voting was a more complicated system than "things get worse? (y/n)"

we would need a direct democracy, i think, in order to have a society that requires only from us to vote, and even then there's the matter of that someone needs to carry out the results of those votes. so even in a direct democracy, we would likely need to discuss politics, make plans together, resolve conflicts, and address immediate needs in our communities

so die off the exact same way netscape did, in the process learning absolutely nothing

people been saying how we as a society measure browser usage is all wrong. i've thrown up my hands at this point. the people with the most to gain from correcting this systemic failure, mozilla, have fully committed to sacrificing everything that made themselves valuable. i will continue to use the outcome of their work, at least in part, via zen at work and librewolf at home. as they continue to chase a market that isn't there—people who don't want to use a browser with the problems of chrome, but with all the problems of chrome—maybe at some point they'll realize that they are wasting time and resources on a lost cause and dedicate themselves to some other course of action. but at this point i have more hope that zen and librewolf contributors will fork gecko, switch to goana, or servo will grow into something than that mozilla will ever get their shit together.
