Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

Trump losing elections doesn’t change the people who vote for fascists. We can vote out Trump, we can’t vote out the corrupt police, the companies that enable and fund it, and the mass media that supports him.

Trump is the symptom of a larger disease.

Ooo that got downvoted. All for saying “Fuck America” until NATO is stated, then it’s “Actually, America is holy and great.”

We gotta, otherwise we’ll see that one team openly hates the game, and the other team is still kicking around the ball and acting like moving 10 inches solves the game from falling apart.

Colbert was satire when he just copied what Republicans were saying, with the obvious intentions of “Jesus Christ, do they even hear themselves?”

The Onion can be satire now, and when “No way to prevent this, says the only country where this happens on a regular basis.”

Probably never will. We’ll be hearing them blaming us as we shuffle in a chain gang to the concentration camps.

I’m an anarchist but I support [THE BIGGEST NATION-STATE AND ITS ACTIONS 100% WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT]

It’s like a parody of how hexbear thinks we are.

I hate the people who can’t stop licking the boots of Stalin’s corpse, but I also hate the idea that America is always good and moral. The CIA is fucking evil, end of story. If they told me the sky was blue I’d double check before I “suddenly committed suicide with 3 shots in the back of the head”.

Tankies suck shit, but they are (often, not always) right about how America is fundamentally not always correct.

Word cloud?

• Social Media of them
• YouTube pages owned/operated by them
• Bandcamp
• Mail lists
• A google search every now and again

That’s how I do it. Mainly YouTube and the eMails. But some of the bands I most listen to are more indie/obscure, so they play to their fans more than people on the level of Metalica and Taylor Swift.

Vegans are more “consent” than focusing on the consumption.

Vegetarians eat honey and drink milk. Vegans don’t as they don’t feel that animals can consent to the actions being taken place on their body. It’s basically a form of “Can this animal agree to what is taking place?” question. If they can’t even answer a yes or no, then it’s a form of abuse.

Like how we consider that animals can’t consent to sexual acts. It’s wrong because we exert a force to them that they can’t even disagree with. Bestiality is obviously wrong, and I don’t think you’d find a lot of people who would disagree except those who perform it. But it’s weird that we view the killing and eating of them as normalized.

And I am saying this as someone who consumes meat. I fully acknowledge I am complicit, I just don’t defend my actions.

Stallman is often batshit insane, but when it comes to tech he knows what he’s saying.

I would trust a doctor when he says about something about my stomach, I wouldn’t trust them about astrophysics.

I would trust Stallman about how computers can be misused and mistreated, same as Cory Doctorow. I wouldn’t trust both about a small part of history, unless it was obvious or very well cited.

I’d rather have her as my president than Trump, that’s for damn sure.

secret police can arrest you on whatever charges (don’t have to be revealed) and you’ll be put into a secret prison where your relatives can’t find you

Like the CIA blacksites, Gitmo, the Fed vans that pulled and kidnapped protestors during the BLM protests? Or the fact that police can get away with murder in broad daylight and people who fight it are labeled terrorists who hate the country?

I do know you can download Ubuntu’s theming/color scheme on most Distros, including Debian. And if you like the logo, you can tell Fastfetch to show any logo/image, and branding is often a simple check on Plymouth/related configs.

Debian is what I use when I need Ubuntu-tier support.

If I could, we’d probably have a higher minimum wage and not locking up protestors alone!

I was arrested for being against a war we had nothing to do with!

His ghost at least! A specter is haunting Lemmy!

Got bombed, burnt down, shot, lynched, and every means possible.

Even then, I don’t want black capitalism, I don’t want white capitalism, I want capitalism abolished to help end the struggles of hating someone for the color of the skin they were born with.
