Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

Exactly what Rusty wants. I clicked, I checked, saw bad/faulty evidence along the lines of those people who claim “the left wants to remove X” with a tweet with 4 likes.

I can ignore any claims they want now, since I know they don’t want people to read beyond headlines.

Every person who signed up for my favorite instance is gold, everyone who signed up for the one I dislike is actually a troll and must be de federated.

• Gathered all by the same dude
• Uses his own posts as evidence
• Considers anarchist instances tankie instances

So if I gather my own posts as a citation for my own claims that’s valid too?

As we all know, trolls are anyone who disagree with you, and must be banned from the community.

Oh hey you unblocked me, neat. Can’t wait until you whine some more and claim the moral high ground.

You can ignore rhoeri, they’re a smug moron.

.world goes to .ml to break the rules: “Help help, they’re censoring me! I only said that my government was objectively good in the world!”

.ml goes to .world to break the rules: “You’re just steering the pot, shut up loser.”

It’s always amazing to see the media of the 80s just shitting on Japan. “Cheap mass market products that never work.” “They’re going to take all the American jobs.”

In Back to the Future 2, McFly is seen as weak for having a job with a Japanese boss and getting fired for it.

Cyberpunk has Japanese decorations and cosmetics because it was invented when Japan was the yellow peril.

At the same time, Japanese-Americans were asking for reparations from the internment camps, charged with the crime of being Japanese and having all their assets sold off without any consent.

Japan was able to help get a start on the next generation of writers with the mass production of anime into Western audiences. Now if someone doesn’t watch anime it’s seen as weird.

Right now China is that “other” nation. I wonder if in 30 more years we’ll look back at it and go “What the fuck were we smoking in hating people we never even had contact with? No Chinese person ever deported me. No Chinese person ever called me slurs.”

At this point I think if anyone loves America they’ve bought into Republican brainwashing. I don’t think I could love this country. Anything good has been stripped away.

The best parts are the natural wonders and some of my best friends. My friends can come from anywhere and aren’t beholden to their birthplace. The wonders are only wonders thanks to conservation, and Republicans want to strip mine Yosemite for oil and coal.

If I had money I would move. But if I had money, most of the issues would be solved in the first place.

“Clearly it’s the phones fault! The phones are to blame, not us voting in fascists and ignoring the incoming climate holocaust!”

I’m on the oldest edge of Gen Z, 27 year old here.

I can maybe handle my parents promising a good life for me before rug pulling that. Well, I can’t and that’s one of the many reasons why I have mental health issues.

I don’t think they could have predicted 3 economic crashes in my life before I turn the age they conceived me.

It’s just profoundly sad that there are people who were raised for this planet and the planet has changed fundamentally in the last 20 years alone. The technology, the temperature, the expected job market, the ability to own even basic things, the political climate.

Most people on Lemmy were raised with a bright future that has been dimmed each passing year. The only light we have are those we are close to.

White House red phone goes off, “We’ve been tying to reach you about your nation’s extended warranty.”

Womp womp, get bent and bootlick Trump in hopes he might acknowledge you for his next grift.

More proof Rainbow Capitalism was a lie/ad campaign to take more money from queers.

I wish I could rub this in the face of every cishet who said Rainbow Capitalism was actual progress.

“See we caught these guys without doing it, thank of how many more we can catch if we do! Like all the terrorists America has caught with violating their privacy. …Maybe some day they will.”

I don’t understand what’s so confusing about wanting to make art of anything you want, including based off of Disney or whatever you want.

Sorry that me pirating something doesn’t hurt their bottom dollar but they lobby to arrest people like it does.

Yep! I’m okay with that, intellectual property is theft, and is even more so when copying is nothing but flipping a 0 into a 1. Everyone online has the right to “steal” the words on the screen I “made”.

Copyright is theft of the public. The companies owning your favorite media isn’t going to fuck you, let alone give you anything but the privilege to charge you for the licence to borrow media until its inconvenient to them.

“You have the right to say and do any art! Except any art based off of anything from the last 100 years. You also can’t share any of the art that is the basis for your culture from the last 100 years either. Including the shit no one cares about but is owned by a company that doesn’t want to sell it, just sue anyone who cares about it more than they do.”

Yes, very freedom, much liberty.

I mean it checks, the idea of property and owning it is more important than anything else. The entire economic system is based around that. It makes sense that something that is free in action and in cost isn’t welcomed in such a money driven society.
