You think flock isn’t planning to implement facial recognition once all the cameras are in place? This isn’t some future problem, it’s happening as we speak.

A zinger for sure but I’m not sure what these war criminals have to do with it.

lol I was memeing but this is good info. Which is your preferred fabric for undies? I live in a hot climate so cotton and wool are not preferred…

Colombia as a whole is doing lots of great things. Too bad there is so much violence.

Maybe the concern is less scrupulous actors will soon be able to develop similar models?

I need to improve my flag knowledge to understand this comic lol

Oh it’s Iceland. Thanks for identifying them.

PS: Bjork rules

The grifters have all the money and power. It wouldn’t be much of a contest.

This one is real

lol seeing ugly people doesn’t hurt you.

Yeah but where’s the fun in that?

Seems a bit late to start the process multiple years after a genocide but I who am I to question such divine mysteries?

If there was a god he’d do a lot more than send bees

Oh wow that’s pretty wack.

Great example of why “trolling” should not be against the rules. It’s way too subjective and ends up getting abused nine times out of ten. Most people banned for trolling are just being kinda rude or flippant, particularly when it has a political slant the mod doesn’t like. If you want to maintain a strict community where politeness is heavily enforced then so be it. But I haven’t seen such a community, and trolling is more than just being rude anyway. So in practice these rules are almost always just a cudgel to ban the mod’s political adversaries.

But yeah if this is an accurate representation of the events then obviously PTB.

Somebody needs to deal with this guy.

Break away for sure. The California Republic would surely have its problems but far less than the US right now.

But really I’d like to see every country balkanized. Big empires are nothing but trouble. Ideally each city would be its own polity, and they can have regional compacts if desired.

Free energy is a threat to them. The more expensive, the more money they can leech from us.

Is it just me or does this seem tremendously unlikely and easy to prevent?

Radical environmentalism, even when combined with advocacy for peacefully reducing the earth’s population, is not fascism. Fascism is a specific ideology. Most of the people you listed are anti-government activists. Some are even anarchists. Fascism requires a totalitarian state. They are also internationalist in their politics, where fascism is hyper-nationalist. I’m similarly not aware of any strong racial theory in their ideas, which is perhaps the single most important part of fascism. You can disagree with their viewpoints but it’s crazy to call them fascists when they don’t fit the definition and have deep ideological disagreements with fascism.

This is precisely why I don’t like this term. It’s just a smear against the environmental movement that doesn’t fit the actual ideology it’s criticizing. Which again, I don’t mind criticism but I do mind thought-terminating cliches in place of thoughtful critique.

Garret Hardin is probably the one person who you could argue does fit the eco-fascist label, but I would argue his influence has waned dramatically. Maybe there are a few boomers who uncritically parrot his views but there is no organized political movement from his ideas. I can’t think of any disciples of his ideas of any prominence.
