I’m mostly thinking of enlightened centrists, the ones actually responsible for Trump and Co.

If you’re a republican or a conservative or otherwise support the current administration, then you’re a bad person. If you don’t think trans rights are human rights, then you’re a bad person. If you treat anyone in such a fashion that you would not want to be treated you are a bad person. This easily eliminates two thirds or three quarters of my countrymen. Americans are largely the problem with America, our whole culture is built around effectively anti-social principles and it fucking shows. We pour bleach on dumpster food instead of distributing it to homeless or needy even though we have legal protection from liability. Throwing away excess food costs more than redistributing it to local shelters, so we are intentionally cruel just for love of the game. Americans are bad people, nobody needs to think about it.

Weak virtue signaling, real chuds know the firebombs were worse.

Hey Iran, I bet you could get a sizeable bomb to maralago, just say you’re giving him a golden gift and he’ll be there. Maybe get lucky and his whole cabinet too.

You’re reaching to pull a both sides. Regardless republican platform positions harm children, Democratic ones feed them.

Bugger off ml bot.

What’s tipper gore got to do with anything in the last thirty years? And kosa was bipartisan and died in the house.

Exactly, this isn’t complicated. As you say, reddit facebook and Twitter are absolutely undeniably American propaganda and anyone disagreeing doesn’t understand what the word means. In the same vein, tiktok was Chinese propaganda.

People on lemmy can’t read any better than people on reddit. Censored. Past tense. This was all in the news a few years ago for those of us that haven’t had their attention spans ruined by tiktok and can remember longer than a week or two at a time. Pro-China content is literally propaganda on a state sponsored app. Positive PR for a country is called propaganda. Hope this helps with your ability to understand relatively basic concepts in the future.

It censored Tiananmen Square and fostered a positive impression of China politically, economically, and socially. It openly promoted propaganda. Hell, all those “traditional Chinese manufacturing” videos were literally state sponsored. Are you operating on some extremely narrow definition of propaganda?

It was absolutely Chinese propaganda, it’s absurd anyone would say that it wasn’t. Literally you thinking it isn’t Chinese propaganda is a result of the Chinese propaganda on it.

Go away Hector. Stop bringing up fucking Democrats in discussions about republicans. Peddle your agitprop on ml where they’ll eat it up. And stop using your alts to upvote your bullshit, it’s pathetic.

Ok you’re trolling.

Why do you need to leave it running? Why would you have it running if you’re not playing a steam game or using its overlay and controller features? You’re inventing problems that don’t exist because you seem to not understand how to use the software. You open it when you want to play a game. If it starts updating stuff, you pause it or cancel it. Why would you blame steam for developers pushing updates in the first place? Turn off updates, boom problem solved. Like yeah, gog is better in their DRM stance but galaxy is not great software, and updates are important for modern games that ship largely broken and unoptimized, and the gog offline installers do not make updating easy. You’re holding a fork and complaining that it makes for a shitty knife, like yeah bud, you’re using it wrong.

What are you on about? DRM is up to the developer, and while steam does use some resources it’s not enough to impact performance. And no, it’s a launcher, you use it when playing steam games or non steam games with steam overlay and controller support. See steam has this whole overlay system with a shit load of features from note taking to community walkthroughs, robust multiplayer support through the friends system, a whole ass chat client, and did I mention the incredibly robust controller support with exceptional customization features? I literally have to run three or four different pieces of software just to do what steam can do out of the box. As for the DRM free bit I think you’re thinking of gog’s offline installers. Their licensing language is the same as steams. But yes gog makes an offline installer available for all their games, they’re the only game in town that does though so they’re more exception than rule. I dunno why you have a hate boner for steam but it’s literally the only launcher with features that I use outside of open launcher -> open game. Hell it even has a frame limiter. I can use rewasd and ds4windows with rtss and still need to run another launcher, or I can just run steam which can do all that stuff itself. What aren’t you getting about the fact that steam does a shit load of things beyond letting you buy and launch a game, and all those things are why people like steam?

It’s very simple. Steam is not at all hostile to the user. It in fact has a bunch of qol features like the workshop or overlay, and don’t get me started on the controller configurator. Steam is good software outside of the store. Epic is literally just the store. It’s not complicated.

Those have all been replaced by sycophants.

Haven’t been paying attention, have you?

Even if states band together who they gonna send? Police side with ice. Military sides with ice. Maybe you get the state national guard and some reservists but you’d need the guard to effectively mutiny and hope they follow the state instead of the fed. Realistically there’s no way organized fighting occurs. It’s just going to be police and military killing protesters with an occasional guerilla strike against them.
