I wish I had that kind of faith in our society. A lot of people are still conservative. The majority lacks any kind of class consciousness, and would really prefer the global western hegemony to keep trucking on unchanged for a few more generations.

The progressive movement is real and has great people in it. I love the conversations I’ve been having with people for the past decade. But it’s a bubble that includes maybe 5-8% of the population. Enough to build solidarity at least around population centers, not enough to sweep an election.

We have both actually, that’s why we get two votes. It’s still fptp but with a hotfix for proportionality applied.

The point is rather how meaningful this statement is. It doesn’t really matter if your algorithm can come up with trillions of ways to place trees, if it’s the same handful of trees it’s still gonna feel samey after the third time.

Droid-ify is also great.

WTF is that last search result though 🫣

The deodorant availability trauma is real and brings untold migrant suffering every year.

Not by means of illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing, no.

A tip: Any such argument that could be (and usually has been) used to defend Nazi Germany in the same fashion is not a great place to start.

Israel doesn’t and never will.

Plus specialization

That’s like saying “black people can use the N-word (as an in-group term), so I can too (as an insult)”.

You really don’t see the difference?

No one said that. But if you are willing to endanger other people’s rights and lives even further because it might economically benefit your already rather privileged ass, you deserve to be called out for that, and reminded that your customers might not all be as willfully ignorant and self-absorbed.

US-style individualism “fuck you I got mine and yours and then some” is a cancer on society.

So everything about Trump has to be equally bad? She either has to be a horrible pick on principle, or you have to ignore of all the heinous shit that Republicans pull every day? That still doesn’t make sense to me. People criticize what they deem worthy of criticism. And just like one bad decision shouldn’t condemn a person, one decent pick cannot absolve Trump and the Republican party.

Yes that’s what I meant 😅

I haven’t decided on a mail setup yet. Letting go of automatic inbox sorting is gonna be a pain, I do not miss tweaking inbox filter rules. Maybe I’ll keep Gmail around if just for the garbage.

Are you… complaining that people aren’t complaining about her specifically? I don’t get it.

Can you recommend a good DNS provider? I’ve been testing namecheap but very unsure if I really want to migrate everything there.

If Republicans go so far right that they swing back around to the left I’d be fine with that lol

That’s not a thing.

The vast, vast majority of people don’t quit their job or their employer, but their boss and coworkers.

Don’t underestimate how much healthy relationships at work matter when you spend so much of your time there. Yes, in tech jobs as well. So stick with IT if you like it, but don’t stick around in a bad environment. Especially if you plan to have a family in X years, because then it gets a lot harder and riskier to jump ship and change your situation.

I think you misread my comment. I didn’t call you a fascist, I simply called out two points where your comparison falls flat.

Thanks for the writeup. It helps to know where to look to make an informed decision, when I finally have the time to sit down and de-google.

Yeah I never doubted you’d have a reason to dismiss being called out like that. Getting your feelings hurt invalidates everything else. I feel like I’m talking to myself from 10 years ago.

You don’t have to take it from me. If you’re a student of history, maybe start with Umberto Eco. He knew a thing or two about fascism, I’ve heard.

The biggest mistake we can make is to assume it can’t happen again.

So yes they’re fascist, but the progressives complained too much about racism, and therefore it’s fine to support the fascists?

IDK what to tell you but your political ideology is privileged garbage. You’re more scared of being called racist than of fascism. The kind of “yes ethnic cleansing but please no mean language” attitude. Please get a political education and your priorities straight.
