I look it like a race between propaganda and people thinking about what’s in front of them. And the propaganda has one hell of a head start and is borderline unshakable

I had the biggest positive indicator I've seen yet just yesterday at work. A guy I work with who is in his mid 50s loudly stated that he believes anyone who is a corporate landlord should be slapped with fines so stiff that it becomes impossible to be one until there are no more houseless people in the area in which they are a landlord.

I could have died right there in my seat. It's the FIRST time I've ever heard anyone in silicon valley say anything even remotely positive about something that isn't "hurdur capitalism #1 best in da werl"

let's hope there are more guys like that than fascist shit-heels

in my experience, no, there are hundreds of fascist shit-heels to this guy and me... but i have hope that maybe there are others who are just less vocal

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
