That shows how badly they need to travel. There’s a literal epic fuckton of cool things you can find across the country. I traveled cross-country a few years ago and I saw lots, things you wouldn’t even necessarily find in books. 🤔 Things that really need to be in books, come to think of it…
We ought to fork Lemmy and include features it’s badly missing, like the ability for users to block whole instances, and to better enable admins to block brigadeers and spammers who make alts.
They don’t get that what repulses people is them, because other people know what they’re peddling is a pack of obvious lies.
Like, who the fuck honestly thinks the Tianamen Square massacre didn’t happen? We have pictures EVERYWHERE. Motherfuckers in China who saw it or had relatives killed are still alive.
Next they’re gonna argue the fucking Holodomors weren’t real or not actually genocides.
🤦🤦🤦 I tripped and fell down a rabbit hole of abject scumfuckery the past 24 hours. Someone help me up.
Also hi, I’m the one who found that thread and bitched up a storm about it on lemm.ee yesterday, how’s it going? Glad for the invite. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed it, either
I could go on for days on how unconscionably fucked up it is for them to deny the Holodomors (fun fact: there were actually 2 of them).
What was that guy even mad about?
🤔 How about redfash? Associate them with something they hate and is universally hated?
Tanktards also works. Exploit their weird hypocrisy with name-calling.
What derogatory term should we use then?
Username checks out
You can literally just go to .world and read some of the comments in the biggest subs, and see for yourself
You all need to hit up Best Buy then, because you can buy a $200- $300 unlocked phone from which you can, in fact, pop out the battery.
Please for the love of god, tell me you idiots weren’t signing on to contracts and indebting yourselves to phone companies just to get access to shitty, locked, censored and controlled iPhones or Galaxies.
Edit: I count 8 idiots. Holy crap, how did you let yourself get schnookered?
Wait. You people can’t remove the batteries from your phone? 🤨 My phone is only 2 years old and I can take off the back and remove mine whenever I want. The fuck kind of shit companies are you buying from?
They are. Those clowns would personally bend over and let Daddy Stalin blow out their assholes if he were still alive. Block them whenever you see them, don’t bother engaging with their ilk
How is that even possible?
Totally fair and reasonable
🤦 Of course they would be the same ones.
Most of us don’t read classics anymore. I always hated Moby Dick; it sucks so bad.
I know what little I know from watching nature documentaries and I think it’s the same with other Americans. Most of us never get to see an actual whale in our lives, let alone eat any.
Here’s the problem: everyone is fundamentally misinterpreting free speech. It doesn’t mean what people think it does: it’s not about stopping government oppression, it’s about enforcing fundamental respect for human beings, which means hate speech is banned regardless – because bigotry and hate speech by its nature censors other human beings, because it creates an environment where people are discredited and shunned by their peers for stupid reasons, denying them their right to be respected and heard. Hate speech isn’t speech, it’s censorship, and needs to be treated as a censoring act and not as speech since it’s not speech, it’s an action done with intent.
When people adopt that definition of free speech, we can go back to having our cake and eating it too and we’ll start to get back on the right path.
Truth. Facts.
