Revanced is a game changer

But what if you ever lose the ability to breathe but not walk?

This doesn't address the core issue of capitalism:

Owners in general (of businesses, housing, everything) get all the money, thanks to the opportunity to mercilessly take advantage of workers/renters/everyone else. And taking advantage gets you more money to take more advantage of people.

The passivest of incomes goes to the owners, the ceos are just the highest paid guard dogs of those people.

Is that ok? Passive income being much harder to earn for everyone, unless you are rich enough to start your own business, that is.

Are we not going to end up in the same situation? Isn't it basically the same situation we're already in?

I mean, in an abstract sense your concern is valid, but, at least how I see this case, this racist dogwhistle is very fragile, in order to stay discreet, and the meme is very low-stake to use.

The "battle arena" is also the chaotic "meme market", where there is much less top-down control too, and individual idea virality reigns king. That is to say, as long as you explain your idea well, as long as your meme "hits a nerve", it will spread either way.

To be exact about what I think, I think we should do both: 1. Use the meme as a meme, because it's fun and dilutes the use of the dogwhistle, and 2. Explain the dogwhistle when we get the chance, without telling people to not use the meme. The explanation helps expose the racists, the meme delivers the antidote.

There is no Firefox without people's desire for privacy. There is no sufficient privacy without people removing the diseased fingerprint of multiple big companies.

There is no possibility of a big browser surviving, without caving to big companies, in the artificially hostile web created by Google's monopoly.

And that last one is fundamentally unfair, beyond any accusation of "Derivative!" anyone can make.

I can't, for the love of god, find the damned post and comment that talked about it, no matter how much I look for it.

But, like, this is how language works. If you normalize a different meaning to a word, that word loses its previous function. That's what oppressive regimes and cultures do to the most useful linguistic tools of the oppressed.

So, it definitely works, and it should work better the more secretive the original meaning is.

Something I recently read that makes 100% sense though is, such dogwhistles gain power if avoided.

You probably should make memes with it, to muddle its meaning, and make it useless for them to identify each other with.

...Cool sticker, awful opinion

I call this comment, the "58008's Wild Ride"

My mental illness is a convenient side effect of society's plan to literally weaken its populace for the sake of control and political stability 💕

(It's the God one, just replacing God with the ruling class 🥰)

It's better, because here the underlying pacing isn't left ruined after the removal.

Removing the laugh track leaves behind (hilariously) awkward gaps.

This is what laugh track removal would look like in this case

Actually kinda funny still, lol

Fyi, string theory, which is a popular, well known theory that assumes 11 dimensions, doesn't really have that much appeal in the scientific community. It's still fun to talk about tho
