Nope, that is stupid. Unless it’s producing harmful stuff, and can’t be repurposed.

Look, obviously Ricky Martin made you suddenly horny and you did not know why. He did that to everyone, sir. But it was not technically pornography, it was just the immense sexual magnetism of an unleashed man.

RAAAAARK

Got banned for anti-Zionism.

Hey, wait a minute…

The formerly enslaved people willing to speak out and use their names on camera for this doco are incredibly brave. They are going to be targeted for this, and they know it. The system does not want to stop making money, and it will do anything to protect the cashflow.

Fair enough. That’s the way the fediverse works. Although if allowing talk of violent resistance will get whatever server I am on defederated by most others, especially the major servers, it’s still a big problem for free discussion in today’s world.

I am definitely more free here than Reddit, so I am not too worried. I would assume that the mods here are not ban-happy, and would only stop me if I was being irresponsible. I will try to do so.

I generally frown on murder too. However, if there is no lawful option to stop people from becoming tyrants, raping kids, killing protesters, etc, then unlawful options tend to present themselves to otherwise civilised people.

Oceania, Eastasia and Eurasia. Orwell saw the pattern back then. The dynamics and details have shifted greatly, but the essence remains.

I do think you guys should stop quibbling over the detail of who is responsible for the fall of US democracy, though. Russia was an integral component, as the other guy says, and you were right about Russia not being the top of the chain of responsibility. Capital is at the top. Billionaires, corporate execs, the capital class. (Not the Jews, by the way, even though Israelis are prominent in the framework. Jewishness is not the useful part there, it’s the fact that Israel is a colonial project, an outpost of capitalism in the Middle East. The Epstein Files, if anything, has shown us how that works.)

You are both right, and you both agree on the important bit. As do I.

Wait, I got banned on Reddit for suggesting armed resistance to billionaires. It’s why I came here. Does the fediverse also ban people for suggesting we shoot the bastards?

I like the lemon speech, but sometimes it’s good to try and be original, fail horribly, and regret everything.

Fawlty Towers.

Fucking love it. Fresh-cooked eggs are great, especially egg yolk.

However, if you genuinely don’t like em, don’t let anyone force you to eat them just because most people like them! Throw the eggs in their face! Demand a better thing that isn’t an egg! Build a house of pain made of egg-loving freaks! Stand on it, laughing maniacally, flamethrower trigger permanently on!

…or hopefully people will accept it when you politely refuse eggs. That would also be nice.

Not yet.

Google Churchill and Bengal famine.

It’s not going to be enough to spend thirty thousand dollars a year per person on it, though, so the current first mover corps are still fucked. I agree that the tech itself has huge possibilities, just not the pets.com ass bullshit that is currently being pushed.

Don’t be silly, you can’t wear a city.

Zug zug.

That sounds like it was the inspiration for the specific timeline of the Ghorman Massacre in Andor.

If we didn’t already have an electric infrastructure, hydrogen pipes would be spreading everywhere.
