  • They said "the stripper" not "a stripper" which if I'm reading it correctly is... Slightly better I guess?

  • I know you're joking (and it's funny) but this is maybe true in a way (not exactly a "thanks Obama" way to me because i doubt he could have expected this insane timeline) if you're talking about how he made fun of 45 at the White House Correspondents Dinner which is speculated by some to have been a key moment in what happened to ultimately end up with 45's having become president and leading to all this. I don't really believe this is as important as some say, in my opinion it may have accelerated what was likely to happen already (end stage capitalism (🤞, sort of))

  • I fear this is too charitable an estimation of the average US citizen's ability to spot propaganda. I genuinely worry some people are fooled by how it's all wrapped in the flag and not understanding the dangers of nationalism or the alt right pipeline just fall for it and end up buying in, not because they were inherently a bad person, but because they were easily fooled (the main cause of which I believe is that they were intentionally not taught critical thinking skills and media literacy as those skills more easily allow us to see through the various illusions, and the same goes for emotion regulation skills, empathy, and an understanding of marginalization and intersectional politics, which protect against the coordinated effort by the system(s) and those with power to attempt to turn us against each other and see others as non-human, but that's a whole huge conversation (that I'm willing to have but not necessarily publicly; feel free to reach out if you intend to have a good faith conversation))

  • How about all tech backdoors are bad and we should aim to use and make software and hardware that is ethically produced and usable without selling out your privacy and security?

  • Thank you for pointing that out, I have changed it to be more accurate.

  • I have heard of and witnessed an incredible amount of cognitive dissonance, horizontal and other ableism, anti-science, anti-masking, anti-vaccine and anti-health behavior and misinformation in my "thank god we live here" blue state, most often by folks who are less marginalized and otherwise less effected by the problems I listed above (but not always) and I don't necessarily blame these people for being overwhelmed and confused because they've been intentionally captured in a disinfo bubble that is the result of being the target of concerted efforts by multiple actors at up to and including the state level to keep them that way for their own purposes, although I do hold them individually responsible for harm they are directly causing as a result, or partially responsible for harm they help to perpetuate that is done by systems or groups which can be massive. The work to undo the programming/socializing needs to start asap on an individual level or if we ever have the chance to make something new it will end up having the same problems. Deconstruction of harmful behaviors and thoughts is necessary, with professionals or loved ones or on ones own, whatever the case, the point is to stop doing the dirty work for corporations and billionaires and anyone else who benefits from these hierarchies by reinforcing the values they want us to have such as obedience to authority and individualism.

  • I always think it's so weird when someone uses the aryan nazi blonde hair blue eye chad guy or whatever it's called to show the "good old days" or whatever. Additionally in this case I find it curious that the images used for the folks who seem to represent the regressive anti-science crowd are a group of characters with more diverse looks. Care to explain your choices OP? @not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone

    Edit: thank you for the correction!

  • Elon Musk’s DOGE sued after using U.S. Marshals to take over agency

  • Well here it sort of does. "Without consequences" might be more accurate but what Elon does and says is de facto policy at this point

  • attempting to change the topic we are actually discussing

    How exactly am I doing that by pointing out that you're not actually arguing in good faith?

    You are projecting in your accusation that I am attempting to change the topic, as you are the one who initially posted a top level comment attempting to shift the blame to politicians for convincing people to buy a car from a known Nazi's company, which by the way is a bullshit premise in the first place for many reasons including that there are plenty of other EV manufacturers and no one forced anyone to buy a Nazi car.

  • You're being disingenuous, for example by equating the cybertrucks and some other Teslas being "damaged" (sure in some cases but not by slices of cheese or notes) with any and all electric cars, or by equating the negative sentiment against Tesla with negative sentiment against any EV.
