    It's great to see how many people are taking a stand against hatred and intolerance.

  • I'm already on my way, but only to a small rally in my German hometown. That's important for us too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all the friends we still have in the US and hope for a lively turnout!

  • When was the last time you felt that you were well represented by a politician - be it at local or national level? What was the occasion?

  • Where I come from (Germany), Sanders would be a moderate left-wing politician. What scares me most is that Trump & Co. are using political pressure and economic sanctions to extend the inhumane conditions in the USA to democratic countries where there is still a halfway fair welfare state (this is a competitive disadvantage in hard-core capitalism that no longer cares about people).

  • I'm not from the US, but I still think it should have been Bernie. If he had become president, we wouldn't all be in trouble now.

  • Yea, but I still don't want to hear any more of his pathetic Nazi crap. I think it's disgusting.

  • Fintech founder charged with fraud after 'AI' shopping app found to be powered by humans in the Philippines | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Yes, that's true. I just find it funny that Amazon named this line of business after a fraudulent device. For some of the things you can do with it, it's probably quite the fitting name.

  • A perfectly legitimate question, especially since this misleading approach is precisely why Amazon's Mechanical Turk is named like that.

    The Mechanical Turk, also known as the Automaton Chess Player, was a fraudulent chess-playing machine built by Wolfgang von Kempelen in 1770. It appeared to play chess autonomously but was actually operated by a skilled human chess player hidden inside. (Source)

    I don't know the answer, but I assume that it probably has something to do with money and power...

  • Wtf

  • You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.

    Jump

  • Yes, it's scandalous, but that's why the people on the street are so important, because sooner or later you can no longer overlook them as they are a fact of life in the real world - and then it becomes clear how one-sided the media coverage is.

  • Wonderful, dear US friends!

    A powerful sign against all the hatred and corruption that Trump and his henchmen stand for.

    I think large demonstrations like this are incredibly important, especially nowadays, because the manipulation in social media and the traditional media can so easily give the false impression that a majority would share the inhumane ideology of this regime.

    For the tens of thousands on the streets, it is obvious how many decent people there actually are.

    Trump and his opinion makers can do little about this - apart from their usual ridiculous conspiracy theories around Soros and other such Bogus. Because not even these unscrupulous fascists can (yet) dare to stop thousands and thousands of people from demonstrating, or even have them all arrested.

    Good luck and all the best from Europe!

  • Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains

    Jump

  • That's all well and good, but the problem remains: Namely, the fact that Meta earns far more every day than all companies worldwide earn from the sale of T-shirts put together - much, much more. And Meta pretty much doesn't even sell anything physical (Oculus, c'mon). They mainly just sell massive reach for advertisements and PR (influencing opinions). In addition they sell, the personal data of users to make that work devilishly acuarate. As long as the vast majority doesn't care how this business model works and what power the centralization of attention actually means even for their own reality, nothing will change, I'm afraid.
