I am not really interested in becoming an IT guy.

I just wanted to get away from reddit, but i am starting to think Lemmy is both a little too complicated, and lacks the amount of users that made reddit interesting.

So which instance should i host my profile on if i don't want anyone else to decide which instances are blocked for me?

You're describing something very deep, while only touching the surface.

On the left, people are not very forgiving of other leftists, when they cross the line. And if you really cross the line, then we just don't want you on our team anymore, gtfo.

On the right, it's like no matter what you've done, as long as you fight for the same thing as the others, you can still be on the team. This is why you see artists make a shift to the right, just before a big scandal, they know they will still have a fangroup as long as they share rightwing propoganda.

This is great for the right wing in the short term, but eventually the techbros and the christofascists, and the Nazis will all realize that they don't really have anything in common, except a desire to rule everything. "But not like that, like this!"

It's gonna be interesting to see the showdown between all the different fascist groups Trump has under his flag.

So you're saying that because the printing press in the 50's used the term interchangeably, his claim that poor people always called it football is wrong?

Doesn't it sound likely that the upper class just... Owned more magazine companies maybe?

This is to show the people who are feeling alone with their despair, that they are in fact not alone.

And it is to recruit people for the upcoming general strike.

For a general strike to take effect, it needs about 10mil people, and it is estimated that there are about 5mil people demonstrating in America today.

In Danish a tank is called Kampvogn (literally Fight Wagon) so i was trying to do a "Repairing Mein Kampvogn" joke but then i end up with a joke in 3 languages.

There are only 160mil valid passports in America right now.

You are right though that you can be a registrerede voter with no party affiliation, but there are still 50mil eligible voters that haven't registrered.

And do you deny that a lot of Americans have a hard time getting off of work to go vote? That making election day a national holiday would not easily make a lot more people participate in the countrys democracy?

They just had to split that atom, huh?

So you've been a sucker that voted against your own interests your whole life lol.

Unless you are a millionaire, voting against workers rights, raising the minimum wage, expanding public schools and universal healthcare makes you a class traitor.

Anyone who didn't vote against Trump elected him.

They did though. There was a choice between status quo and fascism, and choosing not to choose between the two, is handing victory to fascists. Your country needed you, and you gave it to fascists.

Its pathetic.
