i'd be willing to give tesla buyers benefit of the doubt up to 2016. after 2016, no excuse.
they're something much worse. they're a collection of sentient beings influencing the world without accountability because no single one of them is the responsible party
100%. i'm only trying to explain how the brainwashing works and why it's effective. to combat it you must be aware of its mechanisms
dude's not even a hillbilly. he's from basically cincinnatti and spent summers visiting Jackson, KY.
I don't tell people i'm from des moines because i visited my grandmother there every year
and the one of pre-modern times, too
oh i know. i'm speaking on this as a rural citizen who's seen how my neighbors are manipulated. per capita, rural tax payers get more back from their taxes as benefits than city dwellers. the rural voter sees that it's not enough though and seeths with anger. being isolated by the land around them, they're easier to manipulate into blaming someone in an apartment than in a penthouse or mansion. the best way to resist fascism is to go out into the world and talk to people. the rural voters who fuel fascism are less able to do this thanks to their material conditions, making them more vulnerable to bullshit propaganda. urban voters meanwhile, are not immune to fascism, but are far more likely to encounter perspectives other than their own by the nature of their lived experience in a large community.
the most terrifying in all this are the suburbs. the places where people actively choose to tune out of being connected in favor of a 1950s vision of america that would be easier to manipulate a la brave new world and 1984 into working against their own best interests.
fuck. i'm gonna have to go listen to nazi by chumbawamba now…
how is that the point you were making? it seems like the opposite of the point you were making. i'm confused and i think i just don't understand what you're trying to say when you say matrix doesn't federate. because from one matrix server you can talk to other matrix servers, but from rocket chat, that's it, that's the end of the line. your server is your server
man that's so sad. how far the amazonians who scared the romans shitless have fallen when even eastern european women are trad-wifin' it. and what's sad is that the way she gave up her dignity is she was convinced since birth by people who were convinced since birth that she had no dignity in the first place. it's possible to cherish your children and to take joy in home tasks without treating it like its your only value
i know. it's the rural/urban divide the capitalist class has used to divide us for as long as we've told stories about the subjugation of the people to the will of the kings, emperors, and pharoahs. they convince the rural worker they have nothing in common with those high fallutin' city folk that benefit from the fruits of the farmer's labor. never mind that the city folk are just as destitute as the rural folk, and are simply trying to survive their material conditions as well. the rural worker hates the taxes they pay, and sees construction in the city and thinks their money is being funneled to benefit the urban worker. the truth is though that the capitalist would stop maintaining the city immediately, but it's cheaper for them to keep making sure the city folk don't revolt from strictly necessary aspects of city life to maintain their workforce of cleaners, cooks, and planners.
but none of this stops the capitalist from funding propaganda to tell the field worker it's the city's fault they're poor.
it's all a great big joke when you peel back the layers. a painful, cruel, and twisted joke
amazing what happens when you get to know a nazi on a deep level. see how petty, small, and dangerous they are
i also wonder if "lifetime revenue" is just "here's what we, devolver, made on this title" because i notice the third party titles that aren't cult of lamb are trending lower on the board, and i assume that's because devolver as just the publisher has to give more of the money to the studio that developed the game
tech, food, anything
