  • Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there's a spectrum of different people's privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.

    But saying that Person B should be excluded from "fuck cops" – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you're claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic "consciousness price") is valuing Person B's economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.

  • cool can you point me at the repo for their server software then? and the f-droid reproducible build of their android app, or the sideloadable iOS app?

  • claims to be secure

    closed source

    total snakeoil

  • quit your planet-destroying job

  • "the problem is the institution, not the people actively participating in the institution in exchange for money and power" what

  • this cold war propaganda belongs in a museum

  • then I spent a minute like "what does 'tyrann' mean, is this a warhammer thing?"

  • "couldn't hurt" is a weird turn of phrase for the suggestion of "lubricate the soles of your shoes" 🙃

  • the correct answer was "any part of the background pattern" because it's not got a photo of a purchaseable product yet but it will do as soon as more sponsorship deals come in

  • everything to the left of monarchism = Marxism, apparently

    though I'll agree with you that the rabid anticommunism on .world will definitely help Redditors feel at home

  • two downvoters are very upset at the idea of reading I guess

  • "planes .. viable"

    continuing to have a habitable planet should maybe be worth more to you than saving max. ~10 hours of journey time getting from one side of a continent to another.

  • Don't

  • 19 downvoters bringing a strong "shooting the messenger" energy

  • the only reduced population size that's needed is the population of plutocrats, the rest of us will be fine

  • if you think that a videogame with a gay character is "promotion of homosexuality" and "grooming", but you don't think the same about a videogame with a hetero character, then I would ask you why, and why you think that isn't textbook homophobia.

  • commit message

    I'm --><-- close to just deleting OARS completely

    Don't threaten us with a good time Hughsie

  • you're right to be sarcastic, better sit back and shut up and wait for the free market to fix it /s

  • hello I am an anarchist and I see a lot of hypocrisy here

    to spell it out: the combination of laws against public urination / defecation, and the lack of free toilets in public places, criminalises poverty.

    if you're desperate to use a bathroom, and you can't afford to be a customer of this business, the person who put up this sign thinks you should risk arrest (and in some places, being added to a sex offenders' register) - or probably, not be in the neighbourhood in the first place.

    claiming to respect marginalised people, while discriminating based on wealth / class (and ignoring the correlation between race/gender/immigration status, and money) is a hallmark of liberalism.
