This is a product of both participants and a behavior that can be changed pver time.

The telos of Capitalism is to produce goods for cheaper and cheaper prices, which eventually leads to poor quality and disposable “goods”.

…or at that point, “bads”.

That’s a real dickhead move Putin.

Part of a Marxist-Leninist urban guerrilla group fighting a democratically elected center-right government. Mujica was variously the sole survivor of a mission to take a telephone exchange, shot six times fighting multiple policemen (he injured two), part of four prison escapes, and lost his mind after years of solitary confinement.

You used to be able to customize your YouTube channel, upload background images and all sorts of things. Corpos don’t understand humanity.

It’s always weird when a company starts to self-destruct.

Lineage and Graphene are probably going to be the biggest things anyone can do (which often means having the right phone). Making a list of important agencies and companies you have to tell about you email address change if you have Gmail. Curating your watch history on any accounts you want to use for YouTube. Using alternative sources like peertube. Clearing cookies regularly is important.

Fred Durst from Limp Biscuit is banned from Ukraine because as soon as Putin invaded, he decided Russia would win and started begging Putin for land in Crimea. His girlfriend was Russian, and he went all-in with supporting Russia, even wrote letters to Putin. He’s an asshole.

“I’m not complicit in trying to take political pressure off Israel so they could continue their genocide”.

Oh but you are Ed, you absolutely are. Just as Israel has killed people for speaking out about what they’re doing - so you tried to help what they’re doing.

You are totally complicit in trying to make it easier for them, by trying to ease their PR, their freedom from pressure to do otherwise.

P.S If you scroll the Jordan Peterson sub on Reddit you can find the pro-Israel position/propaganda pretty easily. A lot of those campaigns are funded via the right and alt-right. People like Larry Ellison and Ben Shapiro just decided Ed Sheeran is worth listening to.

A fate worse than death for a lot of these types would be having their money forcibly redistributed to fund public services, free education, public transport, and healthcare.

Nothing wrong with being mentally ill, but there’s something wrong when society denies it and pretends you’re still capable, fit and rational.

Yep, as soon as the queen was seen actively stepping into crush good laws, it became obvious the system couldn’t be left to stand.

The days of monarchy need to die everywhere.

We know she’s stepped in to alter or block 67 Scottish laws, as King Charles has likely done since. That’s not a democracy then. That’s a Monarchy with extra steps.

You’d have to be mentally ill to be the richest man on the planet, have a trans kid, and still rate this as a top priority of your politics.

It shows how propagandized gender differences are, that anyone questioning the standard is seen by insecure straight men as icky to this degree of motivation.

There’s something wrong with Elon.

Walked in on teenagers changing at beauty pageants, talked about grabbing women by the pussy, loomed over Hillary Clinton in the debates, raped E. Jean Carroll.

This should surprise no one. He is a giant piece of shit.

They fight for Israel, Capitalism, and a slightly more moderate version of what Republicans fight for.

My message would be: Step down, let progressives replace you.

Mail in votes made illegal, especially in blue states!

Goblin name too.

The manufactured “har har Lemmy is trying to meme” crap just makes me close the app and walk away.

I don’t think that’s the stigma in question. It’s “China makes bad quality products” not " china is an existential threat."

So yeah, this kind of proves my point, the “made in china = crappy products” stigma doesn’t really exist any more, to the point people don’t know what it was.

I don’t think the “made in china” stigma exists anymore.
