    Dude, getting fellow Americans to care about tech rights feels like pulling teeth. It felt like a god damn miracle when I got my parents to care about their LGTV fucking spying on them because others in my life?

    “Yeah, they have all our data anyways, who cares?”

    STOP WITH THE LEARNED HELPELESSNESS! Take some fucking care in your privacy! Because if you don’t and you are one of the 90% who are blithely accepting this shit, it tells the tech companies they can do whatever they want! You have a duty to care about yourself and others too!

    I read a philosophy book. I’d stay and chat more but my government issued transgender girlfriend is about to stream Mewgenics. So ya, I eat ass.

    I look forward to Europe’s impending swing far right so I can post memes about it.

    There are 340,000,000 of us spread coast to coast across a continent. Putting Americans in the same bucket is like doing the same to Europeans.

    Or more like “socialism when it finances aircraft carriers and F-22s flying over football games” vs “socialized health care for all”

    It’s almost as if responding to a shitpost is less difficult and dangerous than mounting a resistance against an oppressive militarized state. Who knew?

    Super duper sorry about that! We expect our diplomacy to be profitable and recent communications have NOT been up to our standards.

    it’s basically americans when anyone posts anything they don’t like online

    people basically think some random poster on some shitty online platform has more to answer for than the president of the US

    It’s all a trap; it’s all ragebait. Many sensible americans are likely tired of these sorts of inferences. Non-americans can look down their noses and feel smug while they get blasted in the ass by their own fascist leaders (but they’re 20% less fashy). We can snipe at each other but we’re just doing their labor for them. Again.
