  • You Don't Fix Anything By Getting Rid of Democracy and Transparency

  • Scratch an anarchist and an authoritarian bleeds, I guess, lol

    Literally this entire instance. Don't get me wrong there are worse places out there but its basically Lord of the Flies up in this place. I am very sure nobody in charge is over the age of 21.

    I am actually not like you and I left this instance months ago because I wanted more moderation but it's clear these "anarchists" are ok with harassment and sexism as long as it is targeted towards who they perceive to be enemies. They have zero consistency in applying their "rules" and they hide behind "anarchism" to justify the same childish behavior they criticize other instances of doing.

  • It's so weird how I don't know any leftists IRL not voting or voting 3rd party, and yet they are all over the internet..... 🤔🤔🤔

  • "Harm reduction" is not in the vocabulary of these internet addicted "intellectuals".

  • How would you feel if something you couldn't change about yourself was used by your peers as an insult? You really don't see how using the word "retarded" as a stand-in for "stupid" is still an insult to people with mental disabilities? If someone was acting stupid and you said they were acting "like a Chinese person" that's still insulting to Chinese people even if the person you're targeting isn't Chinese.

    Also I'm calling shenanigans on "the 1980s definition". I am the same age as you and I was taught it was cruel to use the word that way back then.

  • I don't get this attitude. Obama was literally against gay marriage. Biden's policies have been so much more progressive than Obama's and yet nobody I know likes him more. I'm not a "fan" of Biden but that's because it's weird and creepy to be a "fan" of government officials. He does a lot I don't like but if you literally hate Biden I don't forsee any president ever meeting your criteria.

  • Not voting doesn’t mean you support Trump.

    You're saying that if you did vote, it would be for Trump? Because that's the only case in which not voting wouldn't help Trump.

  • Your point? If you have conservative values, then not supporting Trump does indeed help Biden to win.

  • Fuck this system for making me choose between bad and worse

    Don't make me defend the US voting system but that is not how it works. Primaries exist and that's where voters make the case for a specific person. The large, general, national elections are for forming coalitions and compromising. This is what we do to decide who gets power instead of physically fighting. There will never, ever be a time when a single candidate is the ideal choice for a majority of Americans. Compromise is a core tenant of democracy and by definition it means nobody gets everything they want.

    And while we're on the topic, 99% of leftists understand this. Anyone telling you "voting doesn't matter" or that "both candidates are the same" is just trying to reverse the progress that's already been made.

  • Jack Dorsey says he quit Bluesky because it was becoming another Twitter

    Jump

  • It would be funny if he started a Mastodon instance with whatever his values are. The reason he would never do that is because it's not for profit.

  • You're correct. It doesn't stop Nazis from having a home or building a following. It just allows users to not see it.

  • Jack Dorsey says he quit Bluesky because it was becoming another Twitter

    Jump

  • Uh... source? This runs counter to everything I've seen and read about it.

  • Jack Dorsey says he quit Bluesky because it was becoming another Twitter

    Jump

  • No... NO. It was appallingly terrible at banning Nazis, worse than even Reddit in many ways. Twitter banned a tiny, tiny fraction of extremely prominent and openly fascist accounts that had been permitted to operate for years, but they ignored Nazi dogwhistles from large accounts and smaller accounts that didn't gain a following and were used to harass 1-2 people were generally allowed to operate freely.

    Remember: they didn't even ban Donald Trump himself until he tried to literally violently overthrow the US government. Twitter pre-Musk was an absolute shit hole, but it was at least headed in a hopeful direction. Musk kept it a shit hole and just changed the direction it was going.

    Harm Reduction Rule

    Jump

  • Thank you for the explanation. I essentially agree with your position, but also fear most of the people upvoting this meme aren't appreciating a distinction between choosing "no ethical action" and "inaction". Things inside the US are slowly, but unquestionably moving in a better direction today than they have been the past century. It's upsetting when people who claim to care for their fellow citizens advocate for surrendering the already extremely limited power they posses to turn the steering wheel.

  • The way to tell MAGA propagandists from real lefitst activists is that propaganda will ignore primaries and local elections. General elections in America are for forming coalitions, not rejecting them.

    Anyone making memes telling you not to form a coalition against MAGA is working to further the goals of MAGA.

  • Linux for Kids?

  • I know your intentions are good but if my kid stumbled across gore or animal abuse they're going to require a level of "talking to" that is waaay beyond my skill level, and a content blocker is a lot cheaper than a child psychologist.
