Pointing out that the Democrats are bad is not the same as saying ‘both sides are the same’. Sure, Biden is infinitely better than the alternative, but it would be really nice to have some actually good options instead of just lesser evil

There’s a million valid reasons to criticize Israel without any antisemitism… but if you make a generic “jews bad” comment and specifically mention a time period that goes before ww2 it gets pretty sus
TLDR: privacy law won’t pass because it would limit the government’s right to buy “commercially available data” on anyone without a warrant
This includes location data collected from cell phones that are capable in many cases of tracking people’s physical whereabouts almost constantly. The data is purportedly gathered for advertising purposes…
A government that actually cares about privacy wouldn’t be debating ‘should we be able to buy that data’, it would be asking the real question ‘why the fuck is it legal to collect and sell that data?’
Even if we pretend that data will only ever be used for ads, it’s still not fucking OK for advertisers to stalk everyone everywhere 24/7 (and every use other than ad stuff is probably worse)
A more educated populace benefits everyone.
Except Republicans. They “love the poorly educated”
Real life the board game©
Our planet is on fire. The Nazis are back. Most of us are wage slaves. Women are going to prison over their physiology. Multiple nations are currently at risk of being wiped off the map…
Conservatives care about all of those actually relevant things, but they’re trying to make them even worse.
Of course that wouldn’t be very popular, so instead they just scream about what’s in people’s pants and their voters eat it up
Don’t make “hit” the new “slammed”.
The headline makes it sound like a fistfight, turns out it was just one post on the TwitterButDumber site
True, I didn’t mean it as an insult to OP, just pointing out the ol’ tradition of posting very popular things on the forum for unpopular opinions
Unpopular opinion: obvious stuff that 99% of the people here will agree with.
Meta has no interest in being part of the fediverse, it only wants to eliminate any posible competition.
The usual MO of buying the competitors isn’t posible on the fediverse, so the way to do it is embrace, extend and extinguish
Defederating is important because is Metastasis is allowed in the fediverse it will consume the fediverse, and then we’ll be right back at the corporate social media we’re trying to break away from, with the surveillance, ads and nazis being welcome as long as it’s profitable
Did anyone here read the article?
He’s not saying “those lazy peasants should know their only purpose is to make me richer and be happy about it”, he’s saying “obviously nobody will be motivated by making some rich jerks richer while getting paid peanuts”.
Unfortunately in the second half he goes into out of touch CEO mode, but the quote on the ragebait title is actually very reasonable
Thanks alot
Lol the trump x Haley comparison is irrelevant
First because she never really had a chance to win the primaries against the maga cult
And second because even if she did, being part of the republican party these days is more than enough reason to assume she’s a fascist asshole. Does it matter if she’s a slightly less bad fascist asshole? (And if you wanna reduce it to “everyone I don’t like is all the same” that’s fine with me)
