~~https://mastodon.social/@omegahaxors~~ My mastodon account has been permanently suspended. I have my data exported so I can start my account up again, if I ever do that I will update my account link here, but with bad of a taste the platform has put in my mouth, I probably won’t migrate.
The NDP are the closest thing to a left party we have (outside voting for the communist party (fun fact; we have a communist party)) and they’ve been clearcutting forests, creating an astronomical fuck ton of homeless people and gentrifying the fuck out of the place.
I found out the hard way americans can’t separate fantasy and reality. They literally think marvel movies are real, it’s fucking annoying.
If your response to someone getting their basic needs met is “they shouldn’t get their basic needs met” instead of “why do I have to work so much to meet my needs” than you are a fascist and your utter lack of basic human decency is your answer as to why things are that way.
Get off Telegram, nothing good has ever come from that client.
:lazer-eyes: or bring them under public ownership
The only time boycotts work is when they’re paired up with divestment and sanctions.
It would be better to be able to pin comms to the top.
A weakness of Lemmy as a platform is that I wasn’t able to see this post until after the server downtime happened.
Facebook the company. If you included the people on the platform it’s done FAR worse than just that.
Facebook funds terrorists.
This reeks of astroturf. That’s a lot of effort to put into saying absolutely nothing of substance. I cannot assume in good faith impartiality.
Kind of shares the same problem I had with Mobilizon in that none of the current instances are in my region, or my language for that matter.
What the fuck is this circlejerk bullshit? Steam is a competent platform, that’s it.
All Steam revolutionized is getting people to download DRM and psychologically manipulating them into buying EXEs they will never download with skins that are pretty much NFTs in all but name and people act like they’re the 3rd coming of god.
Actually they’re far more likely to commit crimes than they are to stop them. There’s so many examples of them saying “we knew we just chose not to act” on horrific acts of violence, and well-document cases of them taking normal average day people (particularly muslims) and grooming them into doing acts of terrorism so they can justify the existence of their deeply fascist institution.
It’s literally impossible to be in any branch of the military without getting abused by multiple people above you. Just a reminder that NATO was started by a literal Nazi and every single war it’s ever participated in has been rife with severe war crimes and sexual abuse; and that’s just with what little we know about. With all the cover-ups going on it’s likely the problem is much much MUCH worse.
Canada cares more about landlords than it does about its own people, and it shows.
Use a script obfuscator. I’ve been using one for about a decade now and it’s extremely easy to tell when companies are doing illegal spying. Looking at YOU ebay. My full name is not GKDSLGFJDS ZKGWKDSF, you fucking assholes. Enjoy the cement shoes when the advertisers you sold “my information” to find out that it’s nothing but strings of randomly long random characters, kinda like what happened to twitter when they started lying and saying everyone who used their platform was SUPER into crypto (Yes, this was pre-Elon. All Musk did was bring the nazism of the platform to the surface. For an example of what twitter was really like you need look no further than BlueSky where you need to go out of your want to “disable nazis” because the CEO is convinced the average person wants to see hitler apologia)
The kind of people who would join this place are also the kind that would block ads.
Socialists are extremely good at economics, because they throw out all the capitalist indoctrination garbage that economics is plagued with. Opinions about Carl M and Freddy E aside, their knowledge and communication of economics is second to none; that book is still making solid predictions to this day and all of that despite the myriad of large mistakes and flaws its writers ended up having to correct early on.
Capitalists on the other hand are some of the stupidest motherfuckers out there. All marketing crap, models that don’t make any sense at all (but it makes sense to them and you’re the idiot for not understanding) and they always run their companies into the ground whenever someone is stupid enough to put them in charge. I specially remembered one business course I took way back when being so completely and utterly full of shit that I wasn’t surprised when I later heard that he got himself banned from teaching after they found out he was a scam artist who was consistently grifting their way into trying to get people to buy into their marketing crap. I’ll just take their word on it; I wouldn’t know because I left that waste of oxygen’s class half-way and from what I heard the rest didn’t last much longer. I presume the only reason it took them so long to find out what he was doing is because nobody actually made it to the end to receive the scam payload.
