There are no minors holding EU office, anything being done in the name of "kid-friendliness" is actually advertiser-friendly, minors are a convenient scapegoat with basically no political power who can be leveraged to curtail everyone's rights

Reminder that it's a news org's job to find and report facts, instead of writing more about the new nonsense coming out of the mouths of science deniers. Obviously this is logistically impossible and just another "THEY ALMOST HAVE NUKES!!" excuse to bomb Iranians ffs

A single Lemmy user does not represent a massive movement involving millions of people and you know it.

You don't want to have proof, you want to slander People Who Do Things by saying that random internet users are the reason for American Fascism, instead of acknowledging that: a) most Palestinian activists voted for Harris (you can see statistics on this, instead of the anecdotes you claim as "proof") b) like most campaigns, the Harris campaign lost (to an idiot fascist, no less!) because it failed to convince the majority of voters (who aren't activists at all, but politically apathetic) to vote for it.

You do not care, though, you want to scapegoat and blame anyone except for your favorite genocidal politicians and fascists for the current state of the US, despite the fact this has been building for decades. You are someone who would've comfortably ignored most problems under Harris, and are more offended that you might be personally affected by oppression this time, instead of reading about it on the news and shrugging. This is fine; what is not fine is blaming people who decried such oppression then and now, who are far more serious about handling fascism than you, someone who thinks resistance is when you cry about losing useless neoliberal #1000 (nowhere to be seen right now, BTW) on the internet instead of Doing Things.

You claim to care about "echoing MAGA bullshit" but echo their lack of giving a shit for people who are suffering under Your Team. To say there are Palestine supporters who have bad ideas is like saying there are liberals who have bad ideas! Wow, some people in these massive movements are dumb!? My goodness, clearly they are all responsible for Trump! Time to not reflect on the systems I support whatsoever!

You have, interestingly enough, searched for a random Lemmy user that neither I nor you can verify as anyone at all, and decided they are the Avatar of Palestinian Activists™. If I wanted to waste your time I could easily find a Harris deadend account on any website who says heinous things and ask why they are clearly Literally You.

Meanwhile, you have neglected to mention how the comment of "where did the activists go??" is stupid and easily disproven by existing in reality. Why did you do this?

This is true, but to float a counterpoint: the "on stolen land" is a direct counter to white-supremacist ideas that settler-colonies such as the US are and have always been "white countries", and those are the usual type of people calling immigrants "illegals".

People who want a free Palestine don't and have never supported Trump, I don't know why liberals keep parroting this.

Also "where are they" in the anti-ICE actions and similar movements (plenty in No Kings), you can easily see Palestine flags and the like if you actually paid attention to local movements

Edgy TV shows don't affect my beliefs that slurs are bad, and they shouldn't affect yours either.

Welcome to Lemmy but we don't use slurs here. The problem with CEOs isn't that they have unspecified mental illnesses it's that they're evil pieces of shit

YouTubers get a constantly-decreasing cut of money from their own media, occasional donations to Patreons and buying some merch likely give them far more money than months of ad-watching.

This is a good idea. Maybe as small strips to sew onto clothes as well? Most of these camera systems target the face, body size and shape, and gait.

Referring to the clothes specifically, if you're wearing lots of privacy-protecting gear and nobody around you is, it will have the opposite effect and you will be targeted.

It might be better to wear less obvious stuff like the big hoodie + facemask combo at first, and convince other protestors to wear smarter clothes over time, instead of immediately turning up in reflexive wear.

Yeah I fully agree with this, I just got heated because the other guy seemed to imply that anarchism was inherently doomed because humanity is naturally violent or whatever, it's a horribly nihilistic worldview.
