"Censorship forced me to flee a pro-nazi site to another pro-nazi site," is a contradiction worth noting. It highlights the general pro-nazi vibe going around big tech.

I donate about $7 a month to my masto instance (Hachyderm, funny enough) because:

• Twitter wanted $10
• I know about 1% of users donate
• I like having an independent instance run by people I feel ideologically aligned with.

For similar reasons I will very likely donate something to db0 this quarter to support my Lemmy habit.

I still have reason to use Facebook, reddit, Instagram, and those places all suck. It's so dire scrolling there and literally 80% of the content is ads. I canceled all my streaming services this year but I'm still going to pay for independent social media because it's worth it.

I suppose while we're conquering a grab bag of countries Trump remembered exists, Putin is supposed to be using his North Korean troops to take over the rest of Europe? Goddamn, WW3 is going to be so fucking stupid, right up until the nukes fly because the might of the Greenland national guard proved too great for us.

Jork-Aff Videos, for jorkin' aff!

Can purchasing anything within the system of monstrous exploitation called global capitalism be justified?

Where is this Galt's Gulch where all the world's sane and intelligent have fled? Because they sure aren't in America, and most of Europe isn't looking too brilliant either!

The French Quarter has retractable bollards in that area. They had been temporarily removed for upgrades ahead of the Super Bowl. At least that's the story circulating here.

It's only "wage theft"

when they take time from you.

But slack off for what's left:

This is called manufacturing consent. News media tells you what future the elites want so it seems inevitable and desired when they force it through. Alternative futures can never be considered.

Take your brain out for a walk sometime.

The correct answer is telling your asshole relatives that they need to do a match with the mini-goliath themselves if they think they're so tough. Then they either have to play along with the bit or else they're the asshole who hurt a child's feelings. (Spoilers if they're like my family: they will, but then you and the lil bro can bond over that shared trauma. Ah, family!)
