It sounds like that is the same as saying “you can’t oppose corporate monopolies without openly opposing fascism”

There is a lot of risk in that sort of intentional abdication of nuance, hopefully self-evident to you and to all who read this.

All the time. I just wish I could understand them because they always seem to contemplate carefully whatever I have them smell, which makes me wonder what they are thinking.

Keep your secrets, inscrutable feline.

No gas at all. Pumping the brakes in fact. Forgetting a link happens, and they were quick to address it, which is why I was just gently pushing back on their minimization of the need for a link.

Forgetting a link is innocent, the thought process the suggests that an image alone can be informative, and that a link might be in some way redundant; in this age that is insidious and should be called out before it takes hold. You’re welcome to feel I’m overreacting, but I will politely disagree with you.

This, truth, isn’t going to get any easier any time soon, and folks who care about it need to look out for each other with accountability.

It looks like this was just this past Sunday. In yet another part of the country. Report to the mods if it doesn’t fit your personal description of newsworthy but it is current, relevant, and distinct from similar stories in other districts.

She’s a legend.

But it's not like I didn't include the quote of the headline to find the story.

Dude. Are we living in an age of misinformation and disinformation or are you the lone person not overreacting? Because I think we are living in an age of misinformation and disinformation.

Especially for a floof like that. Sake is gorgeous by the way.

Reality comes in many form factors.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

This is a solid take.

He’s a nazi in the same way a cyber truck is a truck.

Newer, more dangerous, and destined for failure.

As soon as she works out representation, it’s only a matter of time before she has a podcast and a meme coin.

How can you judge the police's handling of the situation that resulted in the killing of the son as absolutely unjustified based on what was in the article?

To start with, by not judging it in a vacuum.

I commend you for wrestling with the ethics, but be careful what you take for granted. A kid is dead, and a father is likely looking around at how police misconduct has been handled, even before a fascist takeover of our federal government, and concluding that justice is not on offer to him or his kind unless he returns some measure of balance to the scales.

This is wrong, it’s tragic all around, but stuff like this will continue until there is real justice to be had.
