  • No, you can still push for change in the party. But don't tell people to not vote strategically when it matters. What very literally the last election was people deciding not to vote for Hilary rather than people voting for Trump. And now women can't get abortions. The Supreme Court will never side for the left for the rest of your entire life. Saudis are getting nukes. Russia and Ukraine are still at war. Plus there is a new Iran war that added thousands of dollars of expenses to bills annually. And the MAGA donors and Trump have all enriched themselves at a scale that means even after he his long gone, the government will still answer to them. The left were led towards defeat by our own people.

    You people are so out of touch it's not funny. You don't fuck around with the big elections. You need to show small scale success and build up. You get your Mamdanis. You build networks and communities with shit you don't believe in, not because you want them to win. You need MAGA to lose. The left are made of the worst procrastinating arch types who fail at most tasks in life. Like this needs serious self reflection. You don't have the backing of billionaires so you need grass roots. Instead the left sit around until it's the big game and you hope ideals push you to victory. Then when you lose you blame everything but yourselves. The reason Trump won is as much the fault of leftist voters as it is the right

  • No it won't. This is such an insane comment as if you just haven't existed in the real world for the past 10 years. Democracy is broken and when we have the landscape that we currently do, your idea is the worst advice possible. People need to lock in and vote strategically. It's only after you have stability that anyone should do what you suggest. But until then there are serious consequences for following advice like yours. There are some things that if you fail today, you'll never get another chance the rest of your life. Things don't just go back to some baseline because you feel it in heart that you can ignore the current political situation. Historically it is more likely to fail and create suffering. Vote to win, not for feeling good

  • I am going to assume the strategy by MAGA will be to allow this to fester. Then towards the next election they'll start astro turfing and building communities to identify the most insane ones and then amplify those voices to their base and the general public.

    Do we prepare?

    No. Let it happen. Every time. Go out there and slash those tires of random people trying to get to work in the morning r/fuckcars

  • Can't wait to see all the new accounts telling people to migrate to lemmy and block anyone that you disagree with

  • This is just them pivoting because they know they need to rejuvenate the party

  • The Republicans don't do shit. It's the MAGA regular voter who gets stuff done. The Republican is as useless as any democrat.

  • Another one being crucified while leftist turn their backs on

  • This is such an insane comment 😆

    Stop lying

  • This is why the left fucking suck and MAGA is dominating.

    Who fucking cares about HIPAA. Cry about it. Thanks for stopping by to announce you know the rules. Rules don't matter anymore. Which is why i said give the person a good million like MAGA did for people who yell racial slurs at kids.

    Now if you don't think the left can do the stuff the right is able to, maybe they're not the dumb ones.

  • Right like how the fucking hell do you all have the energy to Naruto run area 51, scientology buildings, get dressed up in costume to get shot by ICE, show up in the millions to protest in cities world wide yet I'm the crazy one for thinking maybe bite off a challenge that has a real goal. One that like is attainable. He's at the hospital. Once proof exist that cat isn't going back in the bag. So why such a push online from randoms who will convince people to go protest and get arrested but not have fun with this one.

    I seriously believe online discourse is heavily influenced by bots that act like sheep herders

  • Why not bum rush the hospital. Or offer go fund me for $100,000 for any hospital staff that provides proof.

    The right have made multiple people millionaires for said hard R to kids on playgrounds.

    Kids are bum rushing scientology buildings.

    The left are like crying everyday how things suck but then not doing anything effective. So tired of the left

  • captain logical you got em.

  • Me too.

    My point here isn't to shit on the left just to shit on them. It's to at least get discussion if not find others who see it too. I think we're asleep. Maybe hoping if we just play the ethical long game that maybe it'll all return. In my mind we're standing on the beach watching the tide recede after an earthquake. Like most thing stuff is weird, but they're not really tracking that they need to start acting now if it isn't already too late.

    My hope is people get a fire under there ass and first admit that we have fucked up and it's time to start firing up our own grass roots efforts. Download gimp. Get back on social media since we were never going to make a dent in their profits. Start using all these tools even AI to resist and present a front against these modern nazis. Play fucking dirty if we have to. People bitch about money but that money is only doing what we do for fun. Instead of obsessing about beans and moths, let's get back to being political and taking ground.

    Lemmy could be a staging ground with the way it is built. Because when a site is a threat, they'll use every capitalist lever they can to squash it. They'll bring in moderation teams. They'll bring in ads. They'll bring in the tools we didn't resist. And if they do, we stand up a new instance without that shit. But we gotta do something to fire us up or it is only going to get worse.

  • Which goes to my point. You fought wrong. What i see is that the left is very likely manipulated by right wing interest groups way more than people want to admit. I think for decades now, they have targeted leftist online for issues we traditionally dominated and redirected people into areas that were very ineffective. Meanwhile they socially engineered the right side and MAGA to actually effective social engagement. After decades the left is just a dead in the water idea with people who no longer know how to use the internet correctly for social engineering and engagement. The only time the left rallies is when the effort is the most high effort, high energy, low reward movement people could possibly imagine.

    The left in the past were intelligent intellectual building and innovating things. That is no longer the case. We're resting on the laurels of the best and looking around at lemmy should make it very obvious how true this is.

    The sad reality i think people need to understand its the MAGA isn't winning just because of money. They're wining because they're putting effort in areas that the left don't even realize are important. They are playing chess and the left aren't even playing because competition makes the left feel anxious.

    I have multiple people in my life on the right who spend all their time online posting and networking and planning. They will shit post all day. Between the 3 of them, they probably create tons of content. Let alone sharing and promoting others content.

    People on the left I know will read an article. Can't be bothered to share or even upvote. Maybe they'll write a comment like "This sucks, Trump is stupid" and then they go look for star trek memes all day. Give this behavior 20 years for the kids today to grow up. The global cultural image of the left right now is a weak, gutless screaming loser who nobody wants to admit to being outside of small circles. Kids today hate the left. It's going to get so much worse.

  • Yea it's so crazy. Lol

    Everything is fine. Nazis are marching in streets again primarily driven by online recruitment. Billionaires are investing in removing leftist from digital spaces to facilitate this. But because I care, I'm obsessed.

    I'll just choose to hang out here with the people who say they oppose this stuff but really, they're just what, posting about beans and moths while nazis take over the government, March in the street and feed children their content through multiple pipelines that are growing because there's fuck all resistance. After all the "resistance" is busy trying to decide which hole they want to hide in.

  • You would be a supporter of capitalist. The capitalist needed to take the internet away from the left. It was hostile to making capital. Early days people were much more aware of defending it against capitalist which like you said, people were tracking how capitalist ruined all other frontiers and left them dried out husks that stifled originality, creativity and actual innovation. Look at the leftovers from the early days. Websites from them were focused on free use and sharing information freely, gnu, Winamp, VLC, sites like reddit, digg, Wikipedia wouldn't exist with today's internet if they were created today. Capitalist took over.

  • Keychain just a stand in for anything. More like how someone making videos of making key chains used patent trolls to build tools to scan all the videos they can in order to find users they can take down. Just one example. The little lefty entrepreneur was used to beat the old school leftists into the dirty on behalf of the corporate interests. Now everything is owned by corporate and we lost the internet to racist nazis. There's a moment 20 years ago things could have been different that we'll never get back. Frontier was new and we needed to rally around the wagon to defend the frontier. Instead we sold out.

    And now all the lefties are in the smallest corner of the internet and the rest of the internet and social media is owned by the capitalist and nazis. It all started by forgetting the roots and in favor of selling our key chains and trying to build a market rather than a collaborative space.

  • It should have been anyways. Like what the fuck were you all doing on the internet. Trying to sell your stupid art. Helping corporations steal data and build pay walls so you can earn $500/month selling your kitchy Garfield key chains. The internet should have always been about data replication and sharing. It's too late to put that cat back in the bag. It was suppose to be stopped 20 years ago. Now we have all this stuff ruining the world and bringing back nazis. But at least the lefty capitalist artist sold some key chains

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Are we building an alternative to billionaire platforms or just a quieter version of them?

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Back in the day you could find a forum post explaining exactly how anything worked, grey hat or not? Since then the internet has sanitized that out of existence. Should Lemmy revive that culture?
