  • Brazilian here. Even when it is too late there will people still drinking the koolaid.

    I’m waiting to see how things will develop in US, in part, because I hope the obvious failure that is bound to happen will nudge our senate and judiciary to say a loud “FUCK NO!” to anyone trying to copy cat Trump’s tarifs, Big Beautiful Bill or other shits here.

    Still, there are 20 or 30% of the population that still want something similar to Bolsonaro.

    If we ever have the disgrace of that idiot getting freed of Jail, I’ll either join the fight against his sycophants or I’ll flee away from Brazil.

    (free bolsonaro is unlikely but not impossible and there are his family members and close ties in politics to always haunt us that want a proper democracy)



  • as far as I know, Debian is the “gold standard” for stable linux to the point of being one of the most famous distros used on servers as well.

    Exceptions are using unstable/testing versions of debian or accounting for an windows program to just work perfectly under wine (but that is a microsoft-linux integration which MS almost always wants to not happen)



  • I’ll share a similar thought making a comparison with religious (or atheist) communities.

    It makes total sense that a christian community won’t want an “edgelord atheist” talking his point of view on how the christian God was an evolution from an old storm god of Israel.

    Or maybe even offering an in-context interpretation of a bible text that goes against the christian narrative [my pet peeve is that David was no “stupid kid” that relied on faith and got a miraculous lucky shot to kill Goliath since David claims to have killed a lion and a bear (in close combat? or with the sling?) But yet, a lot of christians portray David as a weakling that somehow killed Goliath].

    In a similar way, an atheist or ex-christian comunity don’t want christians proselytizing there even though ex-christians deeply understand that the proselytizer probably really “cares about the lost souls”. Even then, proselytizing there is a dick move because it is a safe space for people to process their removal from religion outside of a christian group (which will try to pull back in the “lost sheep”).

     

    Now, no matter if “you” (reader) are a christian or an atheist, I’m pretty sure that you can agree with at least the idea of christians having a safe space (if you are christian) or atheist having a safe space (if you are atheist/ex-christian).

     

    What need to be done is only extrapolating that understanding to the other group.

    Then extrapolate that understanding for why woman need an space where they can talk freely among themselves.


  • Good time to remind there exist two “models” of economy:

    Commodity- Money- Commodity (where money is used for the sole purpose of getting commodities like house, food, clothes, healthcare, …)

    Money-Commodity-Money (Where the purpose of money is to turn commodities in more money, so the end goal is getting more money).

    The first one is okay. Humans always did it.

    The second one is a disease that starter with what we call “nowadays” Capitalism.

     

    I’m saying that because I see on real life a lot of people conflating the two and thinking that “ending capitalism”==“ending comerce/trade/barter” when the truth is that “ending capitalism”==“ending hoarding wealth like a dragon”

    This is the kind of “I want my worldview reassured so I will ignore the context” behaviour that I see a lot on the right. The more I am on Lemmy, the more I see this same aporach.

    Warning for everyone else: This “both sides” thing is a typical tactic used by alt-right (and even fascists)to muddy the water, making us questioning if we should punch up or down.

    Yes, there are some cases where “both sides” talk may make sense.

    But what determines if it makes sense or not is the following question:

    “Is the criticism against punching up or is it a criticism against punching down?”

    “Punching up” means punching the privileged elites (example: talking bad of shareholders for making our lives worse)

     

    Punching down is what this comment is doing, which is making excuses for harmful behavior against a minority (Remember that human’s right are a right for any and every person)

     

    So, remember, just like with comedy, NEVER punch down (never make the oppressed lives worser)

    Do Punch Up! (Make the oppressors lose their grip)
