Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

Stallman is often batshit insane, but when it comes to tech he knows what he’s saying.

I would trust a doctor when he says about something about my stomach, I wouldn’t trust them about astrophysics.

I would trust Stallman about how computers can be misused and mistreated, same as Cory Doctorow. I wouldn’t trust both about a small part of history, unless it was obvious or very well cited.

Has been for centuries. Rules rarely applied to the leaders of Rome or China, as soon as someone noticed the trend, it was the end of those governments until it was time to reform and try again.

If you have enough money to have sway in your community or kingdom, you have enough money to start asking for favors and benefits. “I’ll give you this land, you give me something later.” “If I can guarantee enough grain for the next month, I can get a guarantee from you soon.”

You put someone into any power over others, someone wants that power, and some people are willing to do anything for that power.

Understandable. I’d greatly consider it (if I didn’t already turn in my mail-in ballot, and he offered to California) but the idea alone that I’d be giving my private info to “I am a massive fascist and enabler and funder of them” just so I can grift a grifter.

But the simple fact that even if I could give them what they demanded for payment, they would probably see a disabled, queer, poor person and go “Oh, well, you’re one of them so… Face the wall.”

I’d rather be a poverty-trapped queer in a red county as I am now, than sell my morals for money. That’s what people with the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair do.

Or just use Firefox and not deal with that.

Yes. Next question.

He did, he just didnt do it. I’m saying that the next dude will and the government of “law and order” won’t go after him.

Literally using my joke unironically as proof that I’m somehow a troll. I couldn’t write this as satire if I tried.

If we can’t even get Trump to stop running despite being a convicted felon, I don’t even know if we can catch up with the next fucker. Dude could literally shoot someone on 5th Ave and the government would go “Well, they’re the president, what are you going to do about it?”

The same FBI that was dismissed by Trump when they looked into him, even though he was totally guilty? Or the same FBI that told civil rights protestors to kill themselves?

The FBI is the Federal police for crimes the common man commits, not the rich.

The moment I hear anyone talk about genocide when referring to the US elections, I write them off as a useful idiot or Russian troll.

Glad to know that Ukrainians getting murdered by Republican polices isn’t enough for you. China killing Uyghurs? Not important for this dude. Moral consistency is for suckers!

That’s how you sound right now. Murder is bad, and I am opposed to it whenever its happening. Be it neighbors, countries, systemic, or individual. Sorry that being aginast to my tax dollars going to helping people be free from harm and helping people live better lives is somehow too much of a “single issue”.

Working with fascists gives fascists power. And fascists have money to give to centrists to move further right.

Why else would they not want money? It’s not like lives at home are in danger, the lives abroad clearly don’t matter much.

Happened to me before I made this account, and it’ll happen again.

Then he should stop running as he’d be going for a 3rd term, right? That’s unconstitutional.

Oh who am I kidding, rules are for the poor.

The day Ted Cruz leaves office is the day he stops taking vacations while his state is being frozen over or hit by a storm.

Whoops, AOC just admitted she’s… checks notes a secret Trump supporter Russian bot in office because she cares about the deaths of children. At least according to most people on Reddit/Lemmy.

Now? Since day one they’ve been waving the flags that their grandfathers took from fascists when they kill them and liberated France and then said “I’m saying what we’re all thinking, the sheeple are just too afraid to speak their minds!”

Trump was a laughing stock day one, he was scary when he gained ground, and now people think it’s awesome to be a Nazi and not be worried about someone clocking them in the face like they deserve.

The mask has been slipping since 2008 for Republicans, 2016 is when they painted their face to show dogwhistles, 2020 is when they just started waving the flag of their true ideology, “Fascism is awesome for me, actually.”

I’d rather have her as my president than Trump, that’s for damn sure.

Very true. Sorry you got downvoted for that.

Pokemon Black/White 1 & 2 are as close to that as you want. Great story, amazing songs that i still hum to this day, and the designs are as solid as Gen 1 and 2.

B/W was the best Pokemon games and the fact so many people got pissy at new material with a solid story and some of the best music to this day, tells me Pokemon fans don’t know what a good game is.

Same for Sword/Shield being one of the top sellers.
