ppl in tech jump into the arms of fascism and then, only afterwards do they go “that was a bad idea??? i got harmed personally???” followed up immediately with “surely the next steve jobs won’t steer me wrong tho”

there isn’t nearly enough of a strong reaction against this, and i can’t say i don’t understand why. techbros thrive on influencers justifying enshittification to it’s users so why wouldn’t that trickle down to open source communities built specifically to spite those same tech bros? i guess i just expected these kinds of people to have more integrity, and be able to tell when a fox is in sheeps clothing. but tech is pretty much nothing if not jumping into the arms of fascism first.

every single time you call the police, no matter what you’re calling them for, weigh the fact that there is a very serious chance that anyone involved could be seriously hurt, murdered, or in jail for the next 20-30 years unless you’re willing to pay thousands of dollars. that blood will end up on the pigs AND your hands. it’s literally never worth it.

did you read my post? what makes you think i’m an individualist?

i’m so fucking sick of the attitude of americans. every single time it’s uncovered that this country is doing something horrifically inhumane everyone acts like they were born yesterday about it, as if all of this is brand new. we are a country built on slavery and genocide but people who are supposedly against MAGA are going “we used to be a country.” ironically, the exact same way MAGA is. there is no “infection” of the US, nothing “corrupted” this country. this country IS the infection, if you knew SHIT about world history the fucking planet you inhabit that would be incredibly obvious.

nobody even considered leaving when we bombed Iraq, what the hell made anyone think this time would be any different? oh, right. the whole “Trump is a unique evil” bullshit.

these comments are fucking horrible jesus christ. i mean ik pedophilia is super popular among the demographic of ppl that would be using lemmy but seeing it out in the open like this is rlly gut wrenching. throwing around terms like “virtue signaling” against calling out fetishes that are clearly entertaining the idea of child pornography is some serious gooner brain shit. how disgusting. the main argument i’m seeing being “they’re actually of age!!!” too reeks of the “she’s actually a 3,000 year old dragon” argument. then why is the appeal that she looks like a little girl. you’re just arguing for pedophilia. which makes you a pedophile.

i agree with some of what you’re saying but not the experiencing more harassment on social media than you do IRL part. i don’t mean to invalidate your anecdotal evidence in any way but marginalized people have always used the internet as a way to connect with eachother and have a safe space away from the harassment they face IRL. and i also don’t face nearly as much harassment IRL than i do online but that’s because i don’t feel safe being me IRL unless around an extremely select few people. but if i was going around proudly exclaiming who i am the way i am online then i would definitely face MORE harassment in person than i ever have IRL.

i suppose it shouldn’t be surprising but these comments sure are proving the articles point. i guess blaming the people being oppressed is a lot easier than blaming or even actually acknowledging the systemic oppression when you’re a brickheaded fascist, especially when you’re unaffected by/benefiting from it

absolute fucking gooner logic

all violent empires end up ouroborosing, it’s inevitable. the important part is whether or not the people also being consumed capitalise on this event or not
