Maybe? I'm not sure if we want to pretend the fascists are on equal footing as the ones that actually believe in democracy. Good and evil do exist, and we should deplatform the evil

Let's say both then. Both the US and China are surveillance states, and that makes them both bad.

Btw just so you are aware, there is some underlying animosity toward people who defend China here. Usually people who defend China are just trying to deflect and try to say things like "BUT America does bad things!" While trying to make it seem like that somehow absolves China of genocide and mass surveillance.

The hard part for those people to grasp is that Americans are usually happy to say yes, America sucks. Any country that engages in those actions sucks. Diehard tankies on the other hand are incapable of seeing flaws in China/Russia/whatever country they feel the need to defend.

Yeah honestly let's make an example out of that horse

Genuine question - 500 people died, right? Did that actually happen, and was it a result of this?

That's awesome! I think it's important to note, however, that the burden of change here is not on the individual. The average person is not an activist, and shouldn't be expected to be. Nestle knows that, too.

Change on this scale can only happen through government regulation.

I'm sorry you have so much hate for people you do not understand. Genuinely, it might be better to see people as just people, and not representatives of the worst parts of the governments they happened to be born under.

Has Russia been bombing civilian apartment buildings in Ukraine?

Please note, I am asking nothing about NATO or America. I agree, the US has committed atrocities in other countries at war. I'm asking specifically if Russia has bombed civilian apartment buildings in Ukraine.

Those confused, it would work with some kind of vibration code. It doesn't need to be elaborate - just a code to look at a certain square. If he takes longer than 15 seconds or something, someone would be looking at a computer to calculate the best move, then vibrate the code of the square that it would move to. That's all they would need to figure out what to do.

For example: E6 - bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz - (Pause) - bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz bzz

Deplatforming harmful ideologies is shown to create a reduction in hate speech and harm overall.

Because of this, I am pro-defederation of hexbear. They can have a voice, sure, but it's my choice if I want to listen

I agree with you. I also want you to know that I love the expression "you deserve to be thrown into the pit." What is the pit? I don't know, but I don't want to be there. 😁

Ok so I know Jerboa has it's fans, and I'm sure I'm going to get downvoted for this. But.

In my opinion, Jerboa has the worst interface of all of the lemmy apps that are out, and should not be promoted to new users.

I said it. Bring on the downvotes. It hurts because in your hearts you also know it is true.

More innocent people would suffer in that scenario, fyi. I get where you are coming from though, capitalism sucks and it is frustrating.
