I mean churches should be anticapitalist and before the turn of the last century they often were. But then property got expensive and churches would need loans… Now we have prosperity gospel and mega churches. The internet ran the same course but in just a couple decades.

Aside from the systemic reasons why the internet leans heavily right: when you deport people’s neighbors then politics is no longer a sports game and even the nonvoters understand this.

Being a billionaire is like staying alive long enough to be a villain. They were great at something but nothing justifies holding that much power for so long.

Also introduced voucher schools because he didn’t want teachers telling him laptops won’t solve education

IDK about “white knight”; I first heard the phrase “dangerous by default” from a black man recounting how he got nervous being on an elevator with a white woman.

“Dangerous by default” is one hell of a thing to internalize 😞

Who needs IP laws when you have EULAs that bar competition? Certainly not corporations with their armies of lawyers.

That is the definition of liberalism but that is not the loved experience of unhoused people in the USA. If you are unhoused there are a lot of moral judgements that come along with that.

Harder? Being queer and unhoused can be pretty damn bad in the states. In China your boss might say something bad but you don’t have to worry about being homeless.

Yeah, I got questions about Tienanmen, but not the same ones. Like was the CIA involved in the counter protest outside the school campus?

Also, there is searchable queer content on RedNote, the app own by the CCP

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.

Eztv is good enough for me anyways

It’s a perfect commodity, which means it’s going to be worth the least out of anything out there.

I wonder if this guy is disliked by Americans as much they dislike that UHC CEO, or is it more?

Also this guy did it without undermining the global vaccine movement. Thanks Obama!

The guy was shot with his own words. Nothing innocent about it.

Our military becoming less professionalized. The question is what sort of fuckery that will enable.

GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

When the situation changes would you prefer they are part of a union or solidarity group or that they know to vote 3rd party in a past election?

Lots of people foolishly think political parties can learn lessons.
