Let's call it what it is: propaganda

They trotted out this story the moment the death toll hit 80, and wouldn't you know it, this one guy saved DOUBLE that number of people. So really, we should be thanking this guy and praising the coast guard, right?

Not thinking about the fact that this was a preventable disaster directly resulting from the government spending cuts to critical weather monitoring services because they dont want to have climate change reported on.

He should've been hanged in 2022. I wouldn't blame voters for the governments failure to uphold its own laws

The democratic party is full of nothing but cowards and accomplices

It still kinda made sense if you knew about the Palmer raids and the first red scare, however, I doubt anybody has ever been taught about those things in the US lol

Stand back everyone, I'm gonna defend liberal democracy: describes anarchism

If you'll indulge me, I got recommended this video today that puts the Carter admin into context perfectly with what we're talking about. It's in the beginning of the video so dont feel obligated to sit through the whole thing if you dont want to, but this is a more concise description than I can muster off the dome. It was both an unfortunate circumstance Carter was thrust into eg nixon and a capitulation to the worst instincts of the party allowing the corruption and rot to continue festering and subsequently thrive after his loss to Reagan.

I feel like the gameplay itself fundamentally refuses to accept spiteful/selfish players and they filter themselves out within a few hours of playtime

You have to play the team game, even if you're the one. You cant outplay 4 people focusing you lol as long as youre clearly trying and not spamming everyone usually gives each other grace

Its interesting to me because he's historically been remembered as "the most progressive" or some such when hes pretty much the death knell of progressive democrats. Im not just jumping in to say Carter was a fascist, I want people to engage with the real history and how it corresponds to the current day. We've long been fighting these battles.

Oh so youre actually just a propagandist, damn okay then. Im not engaging with you on made up terms and a belief that time doesn't move forward. I hope you get clowned in the debrief for this dogshit agitprop.

Carter gave up the game before Reagan even came to power

Another circumstance where an extremely unpopular incumbent refused to get out of the way for a primary challenger that had popular support and plans for the party to return to new deal politics which lead to a fascist taking control of and destroying our government. Good ol Jimmy Carter.

My state literally made pornhub illegal today please stop doing apologia and/or propaganda

China has always banned porn, if that is an issue or you oppose this woman being arrested for producing pornography then you should probably take efforts in america to prevent these exact same laws from being passed in your state (something that is already being done whether you choose to pay attention or not)

Arguing against anything I said wouldve been more productive and more interesting than promoting an abject lie that american states arent currently implementing the same authoritarian restrictions on legally produced pornography as the CCP with the list of states doing so ever expanding.

You're welcome to sleepwalk into authoritarianism but I will continue to call it out in spite of people who choose to plug their ears or derail the conversation away from the growing surveillance state in america. Americans cant influence Chinese internal politics, so when something is wrong there they should look at what they can do to prevent the same thing from occurring here instead of just braying about how bad china is for doing what we will be doing within the decade. Why even come here just to be pithy and wrong?

 

Hey I just wanted to ask a question to the devs about the app notifications

I've been struggling to stay active in conversations on lemmy because the jerboa app doesn't support notifications apparently? I thought i was just not paying attention but, after doing some digging, I discovered the jerboa app actually blocks permission to send notifications? That would be fine, I can manage without push notifications. Its the fact it doesn't update while I'm using the app that has frustrated me to the point of making a post about it.

My issue is that even while in the app i dont see my notifications either. I have to physically navigate to my notification tab and refresh it to get updates. Its resulted in multiple occasions where I have several replies and dont see them for literal days because I log in and my notifications say the same number as yesterday.

Im unsure if this is an app issue or my personal settings but id appreciate any help with this as its really making conversing on lemmy nearly impossible. Ive left too many people unanswered for days at a time completely unintentionally.

 

Brad Lander, New York City’s comptroller and a mayoral candidate, was arrested by masked federal agents while visiting an immigration court and accompanying a person out of a courtroom.

In a statement to the Guardian, assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin from the Department of Homeland Security said Lander “was arrested for assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer”.

 

How did Americans come to embrace allusions to violence as a coping mechanism? In this video, journalist and author Taylor Lorenz details the historical starting points for our current political moment.

 

People love to act like someone staying up until 3am and sleeping until noon is lazy but really, when you think about it, their sleep schedule is the exact same as someone a few timezones over.

Maybe east coast snoozers are actually just the pacific early risers that never got to be in the right part of the world.

Maybe all someone needs to fix their sleep schedule is a move west? The formulas arent complete but I'm refining my thesis.

 

Is there anyone here technologically savy enough to, say, harvest IP addresses for reddit accounts?

In light of the recent authoritarian takeover on reddit I'm seeing more and more brazen nazis openly advocating their nazi ideology in every subreddit including fednews and other communities directly tied to the suffering being caused.

I want to create a register and publicly expose these people who are out here openly advocating for destroying communities, defunding social programs, and dismantling agencies whose sole function was to improve the lives of those without the means to do so.

I know, I know, "it's wrong to doxx people" but honestly, are nazis people? If the gas chambers start getting filled are those who say "it's just a vote you can't hate people for their votes" going to be held accountable or are they just going to get to watch comfortably as their choices kill millions?

I say we don't let them get the chance to see it. I say we start plastering the names and faces of the people behind these accounts all over social media, linking to their accounts, and highlighting their comments for posterity. These people are disgusting, and I'm sick of seeing it go unpunished. We, the people, need to make it impossible for fascists to congregate or spread their ideas online anymore. Out them, make them feel threatened, make them afraid of who might be coming.

I don't know enough about internet protocols to be able to functionally perform these tasks alone without my Google history becoming an instant red flag. If there are any fine comrades with this knowledge who would be willing to either teach it to others or join in would be greatly appreciated. If there's a real appetite for this we could create a new community specifically for organizing the efforts and directing resources towards the worst offenders.

Thanks for taking the time to consider. If there are better communities for this post or this is not the right space for it please let me know where I should direct this proposition for the best results. Love you <3

 

This program allowed food banks to pay local farmers for their goods to provide meals and groceries for millions of people in central North Carolina. This will not be the last community hurt like this.
