My bad, it was Turkey, not Hungary.

The really funny thing here is that Elon’s Twitter has openly complied with censorship orders from Hungary already. The free speech stuff is fake. Twitter does overt political censorship on request.

It’s honestly a travesty what’s happened to Reddit. If I want to search for a forum topic or something where random people give their honest opinions, Reddit was about the only place left on the internet and now that’s gone too.

‘no empathy’ people are wrong about cons. They have empathy but it is selectively turned off for certain groups because they have been conditioned to be afraid or disgusted by them. This isn’t an excuse but it is normal behavior - a lot of lefties don’t give a damn about the wellbeing of cops either. It’s not the same thing but it IS the same mechanism. Fear and hate stops people from feeling empathy. It’s human psychology and the cornerstone of all right-wing rhetoric.

I believe that by learning to undermine that kind of hateful rhetoric we can kill the soul of the anti-trans movement.

rightoids seething

Yeah and Hitler injected human shit into himself, so what? Where does this sense of confidence come from? He said he’d kill people and now he’s legally allowed to do it.

True! There needs to be logic, rhetoric and media training taught in schools, and media orgs should be removed from the control of wealthy individuals.

If 17 million dems just showed up out of nowhere to throw the vote, the GOP would just overturn the results.

You are suggesting that anti-Israel protesters should have spontaneously joined the Republican party en mass as a ploy to throw the primaries?

Damn, when you put it like that I guess it is their fault.

The key to solving problems to take breaks.

Damn you raise a good point. Afterall capitalism is when the means of production is owned by small elite, and socialism is also that but like even more.

IMO the issue isn’t that there’s too much negative content, but that there isn’t enough of everything else. I’d encourage people to post, engage with and signal boost other kinds of content they’re interested in. May just be that politics and social issues are some of the most popular interests in the community.

Some truly goofy goobers

I would have become a socialist way sooner if Tankies weren’t so prominent. ‘USSR good’ is not a great selling point.

They both suck and Waymo’s has a whole ass sensor thingie on the roof. So it’s insane that Tesla’s is even legal given that they rely entirely on cameras and fate.

Only 160k? Damn, I hope for democracy’s sake he tries a little harder to win back the voters he lost over Gaza.

Let me put it another way: There are lots of people who believe that the US and co are at least fair on this issue. It’s worth assuming that for every narrative and impression given by the media there will be people who accept them.

So I think there’s a lot of utility in putting yourself in that frame of mind and then thinking: ’ If I believed this, what would make me question it? ’

The arrest warrant isn’t for genocide. It isn’t mentioned at all. It’s about mass killing and using starvation as a weapon of war. Joe and his team obviously knew that before issuing the statement, so this must be intentional misrepresentation. So if anyone is under the impression that the US is just a neutral and unbiased third party; here’s a clear cut example of them lying to support the Netanyahu government.

nice job elon

I imagine they’d go under if they rely on the general public as their customer base. Companies that cater to the wealthy would probably grow. Companies are created and go bankrupt all the time, individuals in the owner class will win or lose but that won’t affect the broad distribution of power. If it gets really bad feudalism might come back.
