I’m not interacting with that site but I’d be interested to know which of the portal building companies were involved in this website, or whether it was thrown together internally by the nazis.

*Edit

Nevermind, I did it myself. The form is extremely simple. It looks like it was built in JS by a script kiddie/ bootcamper. Likely internal, I guess?

the number of credulous corpo bootlickers, even on indie social media, is deeply demoralizing

it’s important we just keep practicing the arts and ignore the self-styled consumers

consumer normies don’t really contribute anything to these conversations but i can’t exactly tag a post “don’t bother replying if you believe in capitalism”

I didn’t introduce the analogy so I’m not invested in it. I disagree with your opinions so maybe that’s what you’re reading as hostility.

What? No? Its just a general term for horse work as far as I know. I was trying not to demean people who work with animals.

Thanks for your comments. Say, what industry do you work in? How’s your retirement fund looking?

Lmfao, perish the thought

Yeah I immediately disregard all AI propaganda that references “Her.” This is for rubes and suckers.

They didn’t fight, they didn’t do anything but wave little signs and walk out. Democrats are worse than worthless because they take up the space where real leadership should be.

We absolutely do not need another investor-brained corpo games publisher on the scene, especially not one trying to buy up old IP. Buying status symbol brand names is a huge red flag.

she was very clear who she is, it is the only thing we know about her

Mr. Hahnloser, this is the weirdest takeaway. McMullen is clearly a wackadoo corpo-vampire, someone who we know helped jack the price of food up through the past decade. He didn’t get where he is be “working his way up,” he hurts people.

*edit I just also want to add that I think McMullen’s choice of glasses frames is tacky, they look like someone left dentistry tools on his face.

Broadly decreasing my spending, personally. The less USD trade you do, the less you contribute to the colonial death machine. Trying to cut from megacorps first, and generally reduce all spending from there. The only money I am happy to spend is buying art directly from queer artists. Everything else is on the chopping block.

In small town America, if you’re not on Facebook, you simply don’t exist. Deleting my Facebook account exiled me from town gossip, community events, and even basic recognition. I became a ghost in my own life.

The context is there and it is true. My village government, the library, the schools don’t post updates to their websites, it’s all facebook. The local booster clubs and social groups are all on facebook. We do push them to post in real outlets too, and one local booster club publishes a Newsletter, but the default is facebook.

When you’re watching WWE wrestling and the bad guy in that storyline is the guy who owns the WWE in real life, and that guy is a bad guy in real life, that doesn’t make the story you are watching real. That’s still a “Work of fiction.” Searching the Work for meaning or hints about the real world situation can be fun, but the Work is a performance art piece for television made by the guy who is bad in real life. Personally I think MSNBC is a boring wrestling show, I don’t like their “all promos” style and they use too much pre-recorded footage.

Aren’t they the guys who used to make that trash operating system? Weird that they are still around.

It’s because if you don’t “biz as usual” with everyone else in the colonies, they kill you. Every law in the colonies and many norms are enforced by a man with a gun. The laws only apply to people who cannot buy their way out of them and they will kill you if you don’t play their paper money trading game with them and let them win. They’re murderers who have a short-order murder society and they kill people or put them in cages forever when anyone without fiat money doesn’t pretend along.

They’re the volk.

*edit And it isn’t “blindness,” their whole society is about this. Half of their television is about their fixation on their “criminal justice” murder-enslavement cult. They think prisons are normal and they send corrections officers to career days for children. Nobody is subtle or hiding what they are about in the colonies. 🤦‍♂️

Credulity and technical competence are definitely not mutually exclusive.

It is disinformation to promote the idea that any of the people or corporations mentioned in this article were ever “climate advocates” and there is no reason we should continue to promote outlets that engage in this rhetoric.

Just brilliant. You created a very mild and civil honeypot for fascist sympathizers.

The more I look at the kind of messaging I see on this platform, the more I think maybe it isn’t great. It’s a lot of demotivating, depression-inducing, defeatist gloom and doom and far fewer calls to action than I remember seeing on other platforms in previous conservative administrations.

You are right that we ought to be posting less gloom. There is a lot of unhelpful rhetoric out there already, I’ve even seen ‘sticking it out til the midterms’ and that’s not the kind of defeatist nonsense people need to hear.

As a Gloomy Gus myself I could do better about making this a brighter place to inhabit, you gave me something to think about.
