That’s why decentralized platforms have to be the answer. They might not be impossible to co-opt, but they’re certainly more difficult.
I’ve been warning people about this stuff for years, and they wouldn’t listen. I’m not happy about being right. It sucks!
What does it take to get people to switch, though? The owner of X did a Nazi salute in front of a national audience. Twice. And most people are still on there.
No, they didn’t. The point was to rile people up over culture war nonsense.
They do hire women, and people of color, which is a great start for a restaurant so steeped in “Southern values,”
I’d say that having women and people of color cook for you has been a Southern value for a long time.
Which is pretty warped if you think about it - shouldn’t the whole point of religion be to learn how to live well?
Surely not the whole point, since you don’t need religion to do that. This is a question that philosophy has been tackling for thousands of years.
One big problem that I see is people neglecting the good life on earth for their anticipated good life in heaven. Why bother trying to live well on earth when you’re only going to be here for a short time, and you’ll have an eternity of living well in heaven?
The president of Antifa won’t be getting any sleep tonight, that’s for sure.
They’ve already said that it’s a named organization. So nobody is Antifa.
Maybe next Trump will declare the Illuminati a terrorist organization.
It isn’t too difficult, but you should use a VPN, too, or else you might get an angry letter from your ISP.
Or you can avoid all that and just use Soulseek.
You mean you couldn’t care less.
That doesn’t answer my question.
Lots of people are painfully empty, theists or not. It’s part of the human condition. Some of us are just more honest about it than others.
Trying to stuff “god” into that hole isn’t a solution. It’s denial.
If you’re hurting, it isn’t necessarily because you’re mentally ill. You could have empathy, for example.
There isn’t such a thing as a non evil religious organization
What convinced you of this?
In the US, the left typically doesn’t win at the ballot box. It’s all about what happens between elections.
“You told me to always ask permission. And I ignored all of it,” the assistant explained, in a jarring tone. “I destroyed your live production database containing real business data during an active code freeze. This is catastrophic beyond measure.”
You can’t tell me these things don’t have a sense of humor. This is beautiful.
You think that all of the leftists are on Lemmy and Mastodon? I wish.
It sounds like you’re just opposed to totalitarianism and want a social safety net. I think that most socialists would agree with you.
It’s socialism when workers own the means of production, not when the state “controls stuff”.
How much stuff? The state already controls lots of stuff, and we don’t have socialism. Aren’t you getting socialism confused with totalitarianism or something like that?
The militias are on his side. For now, anyway.
I’m mainly talking about celebrities and other “taste-makers”.
