When someone says they want to create a haven for NeoNazis and pedophiles, I just want to check in and see if they’ve thought things through. It’s hilarious how you’re calling me names for pointing out the obious problem instead of trying to come up with any way to mitigate the harm.

I don’t think you’ll be doing enough good to make a net positive from your child pornography and Nazi haven. Have fun though.

You did.

completely ignore all country laws in favor of complete and absolute freedom of speech.

If you didn’t realize what you said, hopefully you’ll rethink your goals to include the obvious end results. I suppose you could disallow images of you’re not serious about “complete freedom”, then you just have NeoNazis instead of pedophiles.

If Americans see one empty shelf, there will be weeping and panicking in the streets.

I can only picture Xi Jinping swimming through a pile of rare earth minerals like Scrooge McDuck, while a call from Trump rings, unanswered.

Sorry, man. I don’t think Kiddie Pornhub is a good idea.

We also don’t have time travel. That seems like the unrealistic part.

Conservative policies need a (🤢) charismatic celebrity to connect with people and convince them to vote to destroy the country. DeSantis could never be this effective.

I have no idea how Trump, of all people, is so charismatic, but I’m not a racist.

People have been brainwashed to hate unions, so they equate the good jobs that can support families with factories instead. There’s nothing special about a factory job, except that a factory is difficult to close down when workers unionize.

What we need is high unionization, including sector wide unions.

We have. And “their slave camps are worse than our slave camps” isn’t much of a flex.

After 20 years of nobody having heard of my favorite, entirely too long to recommend, book series, I am an absolute shill for the show. (Without the “smart enough to get paid for it” part.) 😆

Ishamael tried. If it weren’t for that bastard Lews Therin, maybe we would have some peace.

You’re probably correct, but the possibility of federation does provide a safety valve. Any step in the wrong direction taken by BlueSky only makes it more likely someone will set up a new node.

BlackSky is heading full speed that way. A lot of users would like their own space regardless. The money doesn’t line up right now, but being able to port our information out means that that switch will flip sometime soon.

The fuck are you talking about?

I’m not a despondent doomer, therefore I must be conspiring to blow up a Wal-Mart?

Tell you what…get off the internet, go touch some grass, and work in your community. Whatever your problem is, you need a change of scenery. Feed the poor. Find a community garden. Whatever. Just get off the internet and go do something productive.

Excuse me, I need to go yell at my mother’s urn for not leaving me generational wealth. That bitch ruined everything.

you either support status quo party in their lukewarm attempts to combat the darkness, or you don’t, and darkness consumes you.

Holy false dichotomy, Batman!

Maybe you picked the latter, I guess. But feel free to be quiet while the rest of us work to support our communities and try to push Democrats to be less useless.

How bad do things have to get for there to be an actual shift to making things better?

That is kind of inherent in the question. If things get worse then they aren’t getting better yet.

Things are getting worse. I’m not at all an accelerationist, but I think it goes without saying that things are getting worse and will continue to do so.

Maybe I’m an optimist, but I do think things will get better eventually, and it seems like a good question what that would look like.

It’s okay! We have “clean” coal! 🥲

Just spit balling, but it doesn’t make sense to translate things literally. A po’ boy is delicious, but eating a poor boy is generally frowned upon.

You can see the merit written all over their skin color.

As a San Diegan with a lot of Mexican friends, I think it’s “El Pendejo Americano”. They always yell that when I come over.
