“Both sides are the same” is a queerphobic thing to say.

They’re literally the cause of most of our dedicated energy production infrastructure.

I highly recommend the book

No, I don’t care.

I’m not evangelizing fossil fuels here

The democratic party is a coalition. It has wings that range from progressive to conservative. The reason they play it safe is because candidates need to be palatable to enough of the constituents to pass their primaries. This is also why local democratic parties are much more likely to have more cohesion.

Solar panels with attached energy storage like batteries or fly wheels.

This is a prediction.

This is the saddest, most insular cope I’ve read all day.

A little, yeah, oddly enough.

Things I’ve learned: the people in this community hate bluesky on principle, their principles are insular and toxic, and they can’t read.

This is why people aren’t going to mastadon more than Bluesky; because y’all’re insufferable. I made the comment in context of the post, so why would you ignore it?

The fact that you or anyone thinks that matters is part of the problem. Not every federated site needs to be federated with every other federated site. That’s half the point of federation.

Snubbing bluesky is a great way to get people to not take you seriously. When you’re making a recruitment thing like this you need to remember you’re trying to draw in people who don’t fully agree with you.

No.

I’m sure all we need is enough class consciousness and gumption so our direct action can stop the fascist regime from implementing imperialism.

Why would opioid manufacturers need cocaine? I thought cocaine wasn’t an opiate, so wouldn’t they just be drug manufacturers?

Why did they forget to put in the bullet of them both being delicious?

Early every year the seeds are growing / unseen, unheard, they lie beneath the ground. / would you know before their leaves are showing / that with weeds all your garden will abound?

If you close your eyes, stop your ears / shut your mouth how can you know? / The weeds you cannot see may not be there / the seeds you didn’t hear my never grow.

In January you still have the choice / you can cut the weeds before they start to bud / if you leave them to grow high, they’ll silence your voice / in December, you may pay with your blood.

Close your eyes, stop your ears, /close your mouth and take it slow. / Let others take the lead while you bring up the rear / and later you can say you didn’t know.

Every day, another vulture takes flight; / there’s another danger born every morning. / In the darkness of your blindness, the beast will learn to bite. / How can you fight when you don’t recognize the warning?

Close your eyes, stop your ears / shut your mouth of course you know. / if weeds are let to be without your hand to fear / then what else can be? Of course they’ll grow.

Today, you may earn a living wage / tomorrow you may be on the dole / though there’s millions going hungry, you needn’t disengage; / it’s them, not you who’s fallen in the hole.

The weeds are all around us and they’re growing / it’ll soon be too late for the knife / if you leave them on the wind that around this world is blowing / you’ll pay for your silence with your life.

So close your eyes, stop your ears, / bite your tongue and don’t you dare. / 'cuz if it happens here, they might not come for you / if they’re sure you really never cared.

I mean I doubt it. After all, the next-best thing is Lemmy.

Okay so first technically that’s not true. It’s possible.

But Elon 100% did that shit on purpose.

To be fair, given the model he was working with, this was actually a descent experiment so long as you ignore the ethical implications.

MLs are incredibly good at hypocrisy.
