I’ve bought albums from Bandcamp, but I use Tidal for streaming. Also, I’ve heard Deezer is excellent. And all my old CDs on Jellyfin. Even Mixcloud? ANYTHING except Spotify and YouTube!

Anyone who listens to Shitify, even if they don’t pay is supporting the royal ripoff of artists. I pay for a service that offers a much higher quality stream, and actually pays royalties.

isn’t that special?/s… Now you have to give a DNA sample to take piss. Too much trouble. I think I’ll just go piss on your leg.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.” She pretty much nailed it, didn’t she? Fuck up education has been the Republican playbook since Reagan, and clearly successful.

As an aside, I was impressed by the Marxist kibbutz started in Israel when it was formed by the Brits (legally or not). They were wildly successful. I don’t know of any other true Marxist orgs.

To clarify, Hitler and Marx are not in any way related. Hitler was a fascist, racist dictator (like Trump and Putin). True Marxism would be if the government of the USA was formed by, and responsive to the working class. A Marxist government (true communism) has an obligation to take care of it’s workers, not let them die because they can’t afford health care.

It’s a short explanation, but it’s pretty much correct. Join any server, and change later if you’re not comfortable.

Mac and cheese please

It’s because you’re still supporting them. That crap you see puts money in Zucker’s pocket. Delete your account and it will stop.

When authoritarian governments have complete power they don’t really checks and balances to the system, or juries. Take Putin - Navalny for example. You would know this if you aren’t a Holocaust denier.

As for the USA, let me put it this way: If Trump gets elected, with the tech tools the govt has, we will see, at the very best, another Hong Kong, with anyone that disfavors the Repubs disappearing, some permanently. At the worst, we will see another Nazi Germany. He himself proposed executing people.

If you practice privacy and can teach others, your skills will be valuable to the underground resistance.

I’m now on fixed income but I appreciate FOSS. I usually try to donate, especially if the project accepts bitcoin which I’ve had for a while so it costs me less. Too bad many projects don’t. That includes Wikipedia and they keep asking why I stopped.

I have noticed that this account often posts inflammatory articles that lack credible supporting evidence. I think I’ll add it to my hexbear filter.

Some headphones/earbuds are enabled in gadgetbridge.

Not condoning, but no different from Russia, Syria, Turkey and probably 20 terrorist governments I can’t name in Africa. (Except the Brits apartheid in So. Africa.) It’s time for a universal revolution where locals take back their own land and get rid of all big governments eveywhere. Go back to a tribal system.

I honestly will not put ANY banking app on my phone. There is a risk of getting mugged or murdered for it. I keep a crypto wallet there with abut $50.
