  • Google for fediverse instance block lists and pick one of the right-wing cesspits that brag about their "free speech" and "no censorship" policies. Let's see how much free speech they really tolerate.

    Or try these Lemmy instances. They're already trash, so no worries about ruining anything:maga.placehilariouschaos.com

  • Well you see, half the voters decided it would be a good idea to elect total outsiders with no relevant education or experience, whose only qualification was a willingness to say crazy shit out loud. The unqualified outsider-in-chief has now packed high-level offices with his favorite TV and podcast personalities, who also have no relevant education or experience but have made a living saying crazy shit out loud.

    Jump

  • Given how shitty humanity has historically been, I would be happily surprised if any large population isn't at least 20% racist. It's more a matter of how loud the racists think they can be without getting in trouble.

    What is the end game for all the incarcerated immigrants?

  • Presumably an outsourced version of Guantanamo Bay: pay foreign countries to hold them indefinitely. Eventually the media cycle moves on and everyone forgets about them.

  • Have you ever hitchhiked before?

    Jump

  • Have not hitchhiked, but have picked up a few hitchhikers. If you spend enough time in the mountains you'll eventually bump into people who need a lift to a trailhead or back to town. One young guy was juggling part-time gigs at multiple lodges and guide services, and hadn't saved enough for a car yet. Another couple was touring from eastern Europe and decided to try traveling around the US without a car. They were all nice people.

  • If we learned anything from 2025 it's that checks and balances only work when a critical mass of people agree to them. One of the US's major political parties has abandoned rule of law and sent ICE on a modern day witch hunt against immigrants and perceived enemies. If you don't like it, time to move. An anarchist would say this situation is a great example of why we shouldn't outsource governance to entities that have power over us.

  • As I understand it, anarchism is less about eliminating laws and more about eliminating hierarchy. It's bottom-up governance that requires lots of participation from everyone involved. You and your peers can establish laws for your neighborhood/town/etc., but everyone affected by that law needs to directly participate in its writing and there must be broad consensus before it is enacted. Law enforcement must be communal; you cannot outsource it to a police force, lest the police become oppressive.

    When I think of anarchism I sometimes think of colonial New England: small towns that are largely autonomous, where communal decisions are made at town hall meetings and the locals manage themselves. It's not a perfect analogy since there were higher levels of government, but day-to-day governance was very grass-roots.

  • Can someone tell me about DemiGod Rick?

  • I was referring to the fact that hypothetically one lemmy.world admin could essentially make people disappear.

    Which is what ICE is for.

    Are you seriously comparing being banned from a small social media site, where you could simply create another account in 5 minutes, to being arrested and imprisoned by a government agency?

  • I grew up in a family of overly-armed suburban conservatives, so inheriting a significant number of guns was always a given. A few pieces have sentimental value tied to the relatives who originally owned them. I don't use any of them, though. Hunting never interested me. Target shooting is fun once in a while, particularly trap and skeet, but I have too many other priorities vying for my time and money. If I were to get back into target shooting I would switch to archery.

  • There is a difference between choosing minimalism and being forced into it by lack of options. If these two characters had steady income or a safety net, and chose to live like this, then good for them. But they don't; they are unemployed with a leaky roof and inadequate heat and presumably do not have the means to address those issues. This is an unstable situation to which nobody should aspire.

  • Statistics are just numbers. What matters is how they are used. Anyone who has studied stats knows that it's common to craft misleading conclusions from real data.
