  • Stopping this whole sale of tic tok thing. Briefly.

    It seemed genuinely disconcerting to these people that youth were engaging in the political process by the officially sanctioned methods. After decades complaining about "apathetic youth".

    But that can't be used as a post hoc rationalization for the initiative it was trying to stop. Also, it didn't work did it. So the efficacy of this "manipulation" ability is rather questionable.

  • Franz Ferdinand is the most correct answer in this comment thread.

  • I understand your question and I do not think "all of lemmy" is a serious answer to it. lemmy is comprehensively dorky but not weird on the whole. memes about donald trump and linux don't quite have that quirked out charm.

    where is the SCA of lemmy? I'm not sure but maybe you'd find something to your liking on the Local tab of one of these instances: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ https://lemmy.sdf.org/ https://beehaw.org/. Make accounts, browse "Local" and block those big comms like meme, news, technology.

    If you don't find your niches there, check out the rest of the fediverse. Lemmy is just a small piece. You might have better luck with a larger pool of people like mastodon, or a narrower one, like misskey. In all cases, be the kind of weird you want to see in the world, and you will attract like-minded people. Mind community guidelines. In general, try anywhere artists congregate.

    The very best place to meet weird people is out in the world. Talk to people at the bus stop and eventually someone will talk back.

  • I keep my bank transactions to a bare minimum. They charge me to hold my money so they can invest it and make themselves interest, and they charge me to remove my money. Only rich people get those fees waived. And I am way less likely to go below my balance an incur other surprise fees. Credit card is the only way. Or cash, but that requires making large withdrawals once or twice a month and carrying it around.

    Must be noted that credit card purchases not actually free, just the cost is borne by the merchant and returned in an averaged-out, invisible way.

  • I agree with your top comment. There is a lot of very verifiable information in there. drop site news has done some actual journalism based on these document dumps. This one is just too attractive to low effort social media content producers. Too salacious.

    I haven't been digging through these documents. Could be others which are related. This is the one that's being circulated in my bubble. It isn't clear if this person is claiming she was also present for the infanticide but at the very least she is is saying she gave birth then the baby was no more so (if the story is real) something bad must have happened because a private citizen cannot just remove a child from its parent's care.

  • The linked page auto playing audio after it was opened, I can't even find where on the page it is coming from. No matter how hard I try to disable options for this they always change or make new ones.

    FYI turn down your volume if in public.

  • All media make editorial decisions.

  • You are being down voted because you didn't answer the question you just complained about a conspiracy you've imagined.

  • The tax on non Muslims (jizyah) was in a way beneficial to creating a heterogenous environment. Anybody who tried to expel members of different faiths suffered an immediate loss of income and soon saw the err of their ways. And the more prosperous non-muslims are, the more tax they can pay, so it also gives a reason to take special care of them and help them to prosper.

  • I don't think it was really such a big deal back then beyond your kind of baseline drama and conflict humans always get up to. But not much special aminosity between these two groups.

    Christians tend towards higher than average belligerence but don't over generalize from them.

  • fuck look how rich you can get being a hate monger. he has dumped piles of cash into that place. cash he got by bigotting all over the place.

    can someone book a tour and piss in his closet?

  • the 90s/2000s antivax is now in the second generation

  • Conservative religious groups, and Mennonites are part of that, already have a strong distrust of government.

    that's not true. many governments around the world are substantially controlled by people who are members of conservative religions. and lots of conservative religious organizations are well integrated into their relevant governments. to the point of theocracies, which don't tend towards being extremely progressive.

    If you hear about a place that the Catholic Church is controlling party of the government, you don't think "Oh I bet it's some wild Liberation Theology situation where the women are free and there are land reforms to redistribute the land equally". You know it'll be some regressive, repressive backwards ass shit show.

    there were Amish people (a related group) who were charged for not getting a covid vaccine passport

    Where? Where has a "vaccine passport" even been implemented?

  • I mean I believe you because obviously something unusual has happened.

  • Really? Interesting. Do you have more info?

  • Fair point. If mamdani is elected mayor of new York, he has promised to apply the outstanding arrest warrants to netanyahu and nab his ass should he set foot in NYC.
