  • I and at least two other people once called robots "tin cans" on social media. Can mashable turn that into a "news story", too?

  • Nothing I say has anything to do with who shows up, but who the organizers target and attract. As I said above, Earth Day had diverse attendee groups but one clear framing. As did, seemingly, your protest. Congrats!

    Clear example, if you look at just this year's mass protests by 50501/indivisible in the US, for "Hands-Off" they had a plethora of defined goals ranging from foreign policy over trans rights to social policy. Meanwhile "No Kings" was just vaguely positioned against autocracy and Trump's regime in general. "Hands-Off" had a global turnout estimated between "hundreds of thousands" according to international press and "three to five million" according to the organizers, while "No Kings" reached over 5 million in the US alone according to independent census.

    And this is just the ones from the US that made their way over here, I could give you a dozen more crass examples of protests against the extreme right in Eastern Germany that don't even manifest because the organizers can't agree on where they stand on the Gaza conflict - which of course has nothing to do with opposing the extreme right.

  • Thanks! I read a few of their comments, I agree in principle, but saying Occupy Wallstreet failed because antagonizing the 1% isn't broad enough is a wild take :D

  • Sure, protests have organizers that do marketing/pr, logistics and the official registrations for the events. Therefore most large and significant protest movements in history are marketed with a sole purpose and can be boiled down to one topic:

    Women's March= women's rights 1970 Earth Day= environment George Floyd/BLM= police brutality Globally it's the same, think of Fridays for Future for example.

    Sure people went to Earth Day with peace flags or believing whatever but the framing of the event was clear.

  • No I'm complaining about groups with specific interests framing the entire campaign

  • Well, yeah. Be general. If I want to sell candy I don't market it to 11-year-old claustrophobic basketball players, I market it to kids.

    Every specificity that is added to the movement's message scares away potential supporters that can no longer identify. This is global though. Every fringe group wants to add their message to the masthead of every protest. The left has had this problem forever.

  • What happened to all the corporate pride logos?

  • I've always found the idea superficial and frankly vain that planting a rainbow flag in front of your HQ would somehow label you a friend to the queer community. Talk with your actions.

  • Am I the only one who thinks social media has destroyed the spirit of the internet?

    Jump

  • Social media back then were also referred to as social NETWORKS. A network implies collaboration and interactivity, media are more linear, having a sender and a recipient.

  • It's called "Das perfekte Dinner", it's been on the air for 20 years and is one of those shows that defies the death of classic television.

    It can appear quite boring if you come from watching things like chef's table or hell's kitchen, as there is little drama, its unscripted and it's mostly very positive and no-nonsense.

  • Does it need to be a laptop or could it be a refurbished Mini-Office PC like a Lenovo m710q? Because you could cut that price in half.

  • So what's the agreed-upon purpose of up- and down votes on Lemmy? Because I feel like the news of this clusterfuck of a bad business decision is technews-worthy and doesn't deserve the downvotes.

  • A little out of the blue but I watched an episode of a German cooking show today where strangers are coupled in groups of five for a week and every day one of them has to cook for the rest of them. They then vote who was the best host.

    This week was ALL 30-38 year-old straight Dads. Nobody talked about football.

    Nobody chestbumped anyone. Nobody was mansplaning anything. Instead, they were all swooning over each others' cooking skills, making each other cry over how much they love their kids and hugging each other for feeling insecure about their cooking. In other words it was the most realistic and "manly" portrayal of the male reality that I have seen in the media ever.

    It's easy to blame the media and the "culture war" for male alienation but I strongly believe that our perception of ourselves is largely influenced by our peer group's portrayal in society. In other words: if I feel antagonized, I tend to overreact. If I am being told by Hollywood or social media to "stop being a mansplaning patriarch" I will be imprinted with the very idea to identify as such.

    So long story short: non-toxic masculinity needs more representation AND it needs to come from a place of positivity, not judgement or condescension.
