Barely a day passes without you sharing some, for good reasons, heavily disliked stuff about “bOtH sIdEs” being bad.

I know a lot because you are clogging the feed…

You posted the same “meme” yesterday and it has not gotten any better since then

I googled “black vikings hystorical evidence” and clicked the first link.

https://scandinaviafacts.com/were-the-vikings-black/

Posting content that is critical of right-wing and fascist ideology in a community that is full of conservatives.

They deserve truth.

Me: “Interesting thought.”

Me after reading the comments: “This shit is more complex then family relationships in Austrian Royalty.”

This might be unpopular, but here goes nothing:

With the correct and fitting (and fair) regulations, oversight by the government and accountabilit, this is a correct and more ethical decision.

Stuff costs money. For now. Infrastructure, wages, repairs, fixes, improvements, new features.

All these things dont come free and we only pay nothing DIRECTLY, because we pay in data, attention and privacy violations.

By fixing this issue, the access to all these things can be secured without the plattform falling appart or having to resort to invasive data harvesting. We could even make these practices illegal, because plattforms would not just die then.

And no, the price should not be so high to generate profit for the executives. Thats why regulation is so important.

In the Modern Age we live in, Social Media is at this point akin to an essential service and should therefore be regulated as such: No profit, but stable maintenance and secure access free from monetary interest for everyone equally.

Anti-Masker: Check

Anti-Queer: Check

Loud Minority: Check

Thinking rules are for others: Check

Putting their ideology over their childrens health: Check

Making me feel a bit of sympathy for a school security officer is an archivement only the Republican voter base is capable of

Is it just me or does his face look to small for his head?

Before anyone comes in with “Religion of Peace” statements: Conservative Christians would do the same if they were in charge. Or in fact any hardliner + religion combo.

The Authoritarin Aspect is more the problem, then religion. But yes Religion is very susceptible to this.

I read a few comments on why the warmongering GOP now wants to stop sending weapons. Let me use this opportunity to make something clear:

What we see on display are the real world consequences of what happens when you have Fascists in politics! Here is list of some things Fascism is characterized by:

Logical Inconsistencies: Supporting expansion, use and increasing spending of military complexes and police, but then opposing war, even stopping Pentagon funding. Pro-War people would instead pass a bill firmly cementing funding instead and buy stocks of appropriate companies.

Self-Destruction: Shutting their own Government down, loosing support from agencies and taking a massive optical loss, because they are driven by dogma, ideology and emotion. Or cognitive disfunction and dillusion in cases like MTG.

Diplomatic Incapability: Not only an inability to reach across the isle, but not even getting along with nominally allied people WITHIN THE SAME PARTY!

The GOP used Fascism as soil for growing a base and now they reap the reward.

Purely economically speaking that is true, but that’s not the only relevant thing here.

Remember it’s the Chinese Government essentially harvesting massive ammounts of data. A price well worth it, if you use it later down the line in propaganda efforts, marketing strategies and “spotting potential dissidents”.

A more apt punishment would be forcing then to delete the data, prevent future harvesting or massively increase the fine to offset potential political gains.

Can someone explain the political intricacies of such an oath? What would it have meant if it was passed?

There are a lot of reasons, but I think it boils down to the people in charge do not want the embarrassement of crawling back to the EU.

It would be total ego destruction and that is simply untennable. This is what happens when the right gets enough power to make a change and then has to experience consequences.

Something something leopards and faces.

I’m expecting them to actually, if it hasn’t happened already. Because they know both will siphon blue votes away from their only RELEVANT opposition.

Just don’t ask them if the city has “special rules regarding the age of consent”. I have not forgotten how techbros handled that the last time the topic came up and the ammounts of copium huffed afterwards. “Mental maturity is more then enough” was quite the statement from the cryprosphere

Sleepy Joe? More like “Waking Nightmare” for the GOP. It’s time to switch to blue if you planned on voting red.

The short version:

DeSantis Florida is unconstitutional Again

Autism is a stand confirmed

I would consider the inverse to seeking them out at first.

You tend to avoid people you don’t “click” with, are draining to be around or don’t accept you. Meaning you sort them out, until you have the people left that you are comfortable around, which are often other NDs.

And then it switches around. You increasingly enjoy their company and THEN you seek them out more and more, while the prospect of spending time with NTs becomes less appealing.

Eventual result: NDs attracting each other

Raise your hand if you are convinced this will not impact the people who pay for the blue checkmark. Meaning that a lot of Elon Fanbois / Bots / Fascists will be seen with theit shitty takes (since the checkmark pushes your comments up), while voices of reason will be dragged down further.

Twitter is rapidly becomming the new Truth Social and it’s sad to watch.
