  • People need to stop engaging in so much conspiratorial thinking

    If it barks like a neolib, excuses genocide like a neolib, breaks national labor strikes like a neolib, kisses Papa bear Pelosi’s ass like a neolib, it just might be a neolib.

    The same genocide-excusing Sanders that has been the quintessential sheepdog for the DNC since he was cheated in 2016? Sanders literally sold his list of supporter info to the DNC after 2016. Ask me how I know.

  • AOC is going to Obama us so hard.

  • FPTP applies to ALL political offices in a country that uses it.

    Using the presidency in this graphic would have been a very poor choice to display the difference between the two. Comparing 1 result with another result on a scale of 1 person would not have the pedagogical weight that the Congress graphic does.

  • FPTP should get FAR more attention as the culprit for this situation. Sure, the electoral college caused Kamala to lose (or whatever) but if we had a true democracy, there wouldn’t be only two possible parties to choose from.

  • It’s fine. I’m sure I contributed somewhat o the misreading of the tone too. Namaste, my friend.

  • Defederation from hexbear.net happened quickly and with very little debate. The mods on world ADORE censorship. They are almost worse than even the censorship on Reddit. If you’re too left or right wing for them, you’re going to have a very bad time. It’s forced centrism through putting up unavoidable blinders and it is the kneejerk reaction of that instance (and a few others).

    Same with hexbear. They banned me for not being left wing enough. This behavior is more toxic than a place where all are allowed to communicate IN GOOD FAITH and are only censored or banned when it is ABSOLUTELY the only option to move forward. Hiveminds are bad. Banning people and defederation is utterly anathema to the intended purpose of the fediverse. Anyone who supports censorship should take a step back and think humbly and deeply about what they are doing, smugly preventing others from expressing their opinions.

  • Maybe you’re just in a bad mood because I really didn’t make a big thing about it. Just thought it was odd that you’d lie about it. You’d have to have either lied (or misremembered if your panties are still bunched up) because this has been company policy since the first Apple Store opened in like 2001.

    I’ve been going to Apple stores since they opened. In fact, in a brand new Apple Store back in like 2007, I wanted to demo the software “Shake” for my company. I distinctly remember an employee installing it for me (since they wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave admin access open).
