Whenever I'm speaking with others about politics I'm reminded how fucking dumb half our populace is. It's not even something from the past 100 years, even during the Roman times populism was a thing.

If anything you'd think that with our current educational system people would be smarter but sadly the opposite is true.

Peoe vote for parties just because they hate foreigners here. Sometimes I ask them, "did you know they wanted to increase taxes on X and decrease taxes for the rich"? And then you get all sorts of insults slinged at you. Blue collar workers with minimum wage calling me a "leftie" because I care about wanting decent health care and social wellbeing. People with minimum wage voting for parties that want to create more hardship for them and increase wellbeing and power for billionaires.

Mind you, I'm not even from the US, populism and fascism is a problem everywhere. You'd think people would have learned something from 1939 - 1945. You'd think we'd cooperate for the wellbeing as a species and try to explore things to make our life on earth better (or even trying to reach into space).

But nope here we are, hating on minorities. Helping billionaires getting more power. Destroying the wellbeing we have enjoyed for a couple of decades.

I've decided I'm not using websites that block mullvad anymore. I'm talking about a hard block like reddit does and not a captcha (captcha is fine by me).

If they're doing that much trouble to prevent me from using a VPN they must me doing some pretty shady shit with my data.

I will not move to another VPN because of all VPNs I feel Mullvad respects my privacy most.

Yeah, except most people suck.

Last time I mentioned lemmy I was almost banned.

Maybe we should stop with left, right and centrist all together.

It's a stupid way of defining politics. If you ask a random person what being left means it can vary from anything between hugging a tree or wanting good health care.

By calling yourself "green" or "social" you are immediately putting a label on yourself and a lot of people won't vote for you because they're too dumb or lazy to actually read into what a party is about. I saw an article here on lemmy that pointed out some moron that voted for Trump in hopes he would save his farm, if he would have read into politics he would have known that Trump was the worst possible choice but here we are...

I'm from Europe and I see the same shit happening here. Call yourself green or left and people will scoff at you.

If there is anything the current "left" parties absolutely suck at its marketing. Call yourself the freedom party or whatever but stop using idiotic terminology that people can't relate to. Almosr no one will vote for the "environment party".

I hate the extremist conservative parties here but i have to give them credit for being able to market their party in such a way that people are literally voting on them AGAINST their own best interests.

It's pretty sad a lot of people are dumb and racist.

They don't hate immigrants, they just hate assholes. And being an asshole is not related to where you're from. Shitty right wing politicians just want to make everyone believe it's immigrants.

Some of the worst people I know have been born and raised in the country I live in.

Reminds me of horizon zero dawn.

Thanks I'll definitely check that out. I've seen some posts about it working on Synology Nas devices so that's very interesting.

While both of those are great software. Unless I'm not aware of something they aren't cloud/network based office suites like Google docs and office 365.

It seems this is an alternative to office software where you can work simultaneously and share documents in the same cloud/network.

I don't think there is an alternative to office 365 and Google docs at this point that is open source. So this seems like a great project and I'll definitely be considering it for our company.
