At this point I'm pretty sure at least half the people cirtisizing lack of violence in America are feds trying to get people to spill incriminating evidence. You look stupid complaining online about not hearing about shit you can't say online. No one's booting up an onion router to brag to some shithead on lemmy about how they returned a tear gas canister to the cops.
There's a bunch of keyboard warriors demanding OTHERS take action. And I wish there was a mass tagging tool so we can root out these provocateurs.
Provocateurs is almost too generous a term for them, it's like opsec 101 not to post shit like that on extremely public forums no matter how anonymized they claim to be. It's basically like when your IT department secretly sends sketchy emails to test if you're dumb enough to click it.
You can make the meme for most countries in the west. The past couple days have been us celebrating the latest Banksy performative protest as if that's done anything more than be more art in the ocean of art to be snooty about socially and continue on with the ever weak art based protest. 30 years of performative art centric leftist culture and 30 years of neoliberalism shifting further and further to the right
Careful, every American on Lemmy has about 6 or 7 thought-stopping cliches ready to defend their cowardly fucking inaction.
The fact that you're posting this means you're not dead or in prison, which thought-stopping cliche will you use to explain your cowardly inaction?
Murican here. I just lack a spine like the rest of my countrymen. No sense making excuses.
You probably also have access to food and basic infrastructure and services. That gives you incentive not to risk your life violently overthrowing the government.
Give it some time.
Probably don't want to die tbh
trump didn't give a blanket "y'all either obey me or you're out" to all social media, blocking all except tiktok, no wonder 'muricans are still sleeping
What happened in Nepal? Ive not been in lemmy, or news sites in almost a month. Im very out of the loop on this one.
I love Lemmy and I enjoy that it's less of a constant news+politics festival than Reddit, but the downside of that is that you won't get exposure to some pretty important events just by browsing the top posts. You have to go to a news comm, can't rely on the community to put the most important news at the top. Many days there have been huge news events and the top Lemmy posts are all comics and memes - nothing wrong with that! The community can be whatever it wants. But as a user , especially if you're coming from Reddit, you've gotta know to supplement your news with other sources (which really you should be doing anyways).
Yeah, I get that. Thats not what this is though. Ive been on lemmy ever since the reddit API exodus fiasco. This was an intentional, out of the loop moment on my part. Ive been so focused on whats going on in the news over the last 6 months, it was starting to affect my mental health, so I took a break from lemmy.
Set fire to the Capitol. Got it
Lemmy is so USA centric they did not notice the people sponsoring Nepal's protests are the exactly the same people in charge of USA right now.
The ban on USA big tech industry is a sovereignty statement, and every country should do that, USA is literally stealing data from other countries, since data is the new gold, the name of the game is digital colonialism, you should read more about that if you have more than two brain cells
Source?
Second part - Every country that currently has the capability is “stealing” data. I’m not deflecting from the US’s actions, but let's do the math here and pick something that everyone isn’t in the same glass house together.
