Our News Team @ 11 with host Snot Flickerman
if we learn how to take care of one another the way we should’ve a long time ago.
Every time we say it’s “not our job” to learn how to do something, what we’re effectively saying is “it’s not our job to make the world a better place.” Actually, that’s everyone’s job, all the time.
Having been alive and watching our government become a dysfunctional fucking mess over the course of over forty fucking years…
No.
Get involved with Mutual Aid Networks. We will not be able to rely on the systems we’ve traditionally been able to rely on. We must build our own systems outside of the capitalist landscape and outside government authority. We can neither trust the capitalists nor the government they have twisted to their own ends (easily done because the constitution is some old ass bullshit, and nobody ever does anything about the loopholes. it’s like a computer program that’s never been updated but is still online with all sorts of security issues).
Our Constitution has always been badly written and easily used to push authoritarianism, and Trump is ready to wipe his ass with what’s left of the US Constitution and the Republicans are ready to let him.
Wait so does that make wind power more or less fancy than hydro?
I’ve always found it slightly funny that nuclear power is technically just a fancy steam engine.
A salient point and having lived through that period and remember how shithouse panicked everyone was about the anthrax attacks because of how quickly they followed 9/11 (just a week later), I can see there being a lot of impetus for them to find someone, anyone to pin it on so they could calm the US public and make them feel at ease.
Ask Bruce Ivins. (Or, well… you can’t…) Five people died from the 2001 anthrax attacks, but they could never find a perpetrator. The prominent people didn’t die, but they came close to being exposed.
Bruce Ivins was railroaded by Robert fucking Meuller no less until he committed suicide and years later it would be proven, without a shadow of a doubt I might add, that the facility Ivins worked in did not have the capability to produce anthrax as pure as that used in the attacks.

When it’s high profile, they will find someone to pin it on. It’s anyone’s guess if that person is the actual culprit or just someone that the cops thought they could pin it on.
Meh, there’s worse mods out there. I’m sure it’s an overwhelming thread and they’re just slamming the brakes on everything to try to keep it under control. Probably like a thousand user reports already or something.
Do innocuous comments get caught in the crossfire? Yeah, oh well. I didn’t add anything particularly important to the conversation anyway.
I have an old friend named Brian Thompson who is 100% not this Brian Thompson.
I feel bad for him having this guys name today and how much shit he’ll hear about it.
Why not tell that to the News mods who took down my comment that simply said “and nothing of value was lost” and claimed that was celebrating and promoting violence and a violation of the Terms of Service of lemmy.world.
(I’m joking about telling them, obviously. Arguing with mods is more pointless than arguing with other commenters, which is already pretty pointless.)
If you’re fired, you also can’t claim unemployment.
You can only claim unemployment if you’ve been “let go.”
Obviously, OP’s situation is going to be “let go” if they’re doing it to tons of people in the company, but I wanted to make it clear that if you’re fired-fired, like for negligence, or even made-up negligence, or whatever the bullshit corporate reason for shitcanning you as an individual is: they won’t pay unemployment.
…clothes?
I have plenty of space between my toes, my tongue fits perfectly in my mouth, I can breathe freely through both nostrils, and my eyes sit comfortably in my skull behind big, heavy eyelids. Gosh darn it I love breathing manually. Deep calming breaths.
Yeah, it’s pretty boring, that’s why they call it “a boring dystopia.”
No, I agree wholeheartedly. My point was rather the abstraction of it just means it’s easier for the investment-minded human to justify their lack of direct connection to the mass jailing of innocents while actually being directly connected to the horrors of it. They feel like they’re not connected to it by the abstraction of the market.
Hmmm, are you saying workers are alienated from each other via the market? Social relations are mediated by commodities and money??
I swear I’ve heard this somewhere before…
Yes.
Investing to make money off of other’s suffering is never justified.
You may as well scream “FUCK YOU, GOT MINE” a little louder.
This reminds me of a comic I drew during the Bush years about a “noise-ician” who had previously worked at DARPA developing sound-based-weaponry. I’d like to see his Panopticon set.
You can run it on a Pi via Box64. Source: I did it.
I’m celebrating the burgeoning class consciousness it has awoken in the right.
It was beautiful to see Ben Shapiro eaten alive by his own followers over the rich vs. poor divide here.
I hope this trend continues, even though I know how unrealistic that is.
