switching to a browser engine developed by a literal advertising company seems like a weird protest against advertising

servo is the only one I know of

sadly folks keep being told that voting for Party 2 is somehow a vote for one of the Party 1s and that the only sensible option is to vote for the other Party 1. wonder how the situation will ever improve 😔

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.

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

then I spent a minute like “what does ‘tyrann’ mean, is this a warhammer thing?”

blaming pedestrians in crosswalks for getting hit by cars seems pretty bloodthirsty (and fuckcars is a weird community to say it)

“unmasked” because of the assumption that anyone who posts “raunchy” pictures, especially for money, would spontaneously combust in shame if their name were ever made public.

boring bigoted shit

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

“car bad” yes friend this is the fuckcars community

“form[ing] partnerships with the private sector” is literal privatisation.

and the Canary is one of the (the only?) worker owned news outlets in the UK, sometimes it’s a bit sloppy but calling it “trash” is doing free PR work for plutocrats

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.

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.

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.

cool, I’ll go make a powerpoint, can you also give me the necessary:

• parents with spare $600k+ (inflation-adjusted from 1994 when Amazon started) to give me to build a prototype
• rich &/ or influential friends, from my family and my expensive education
• expensive education
• etc

Signed, someone who thinks it is unhealthy for society for any one person to have the equivalent of a billion dollars

if you think that the UK government has a right to try and determine if an asylum claim is “genuine” and if making deportation more efficient is a goal then “naïve” maybe, “lefty” not by any meaningful standard

maybe consider the space between “ensure that Jewish people feel safe” and “establish an apartheid ethnostate for Jewish people”
