Lol, claims they're being authoritarian by... upholding their rules, upholding equality, upholding human rights, and preventing transphobia? Okay TERF.

I know who he is. As a teenager I thought he spoke sense, as an adult I realise he's full of shit.

I don't expect he knows what Lemmy is either, but that doesn't stop his talking points from appearing here. Upvotes and downvotes are meaningless, Reddit karma was a stupid thing to care about, and even less so here. But they do determine what gets seen.

If we don't want to spread hatred, intolerance, and bigotry then we need to stop spreading the words of a hateful, intolerant, bigot. That means not posting everything he says, not upvoting what he says. Because in doing so we help spread his message, we help normalise intolerance in our society.

Ignore him.

Fuck Nigel Farage. Don't upvote and normalise whatever shite he's talking.

Blank him from your mind, politically ostracise him. He's not in government, he's not in the official opposition. He has barely more power than the average celebrity. His power comes from talking points. Don't give him any.

When friends and family bring up his latest bonkers outpouring, tell them he's a nutcase that you won't engage with because he doesn't engage in good faith. Don't discuss him.

He was given a platform by the BBC on the likes of HIGNFY and Question Time, his opinions became legitimised. Remove that legitimacy before it takes over any more than it already has.

Abuse of terrorism laws to repress opinions the government disagrees with. Who could have seen this coming when those laws were introduced!

"This is about the threats that shouldn't be made. I won't say too much because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate," he added.

Then why say anything at all, Keir?

It's not appropriate for him to say anything.

Partially because there's a court case, and partially because which musical acts play at a music festival are so far removed from the remit of the office of Prime Minister it's ridiculous he's commenting on it in the first place.

It's almost as if Russia is in the midst of a full scale war with conscription and economic sanctions imposed, requiring in-house manufacture of military equipment. Who would have thought that would mean the Russian war machine would be running hotter than the EUs?

It's almost as if these people want us to go to war.

Yeah I was a knob, sorry.

I still don't think it's really relevant to the community but I could have phrased that better, and tbh there's probably not a glamping community of any size worth posting to so I can understand why you posted here.

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

That's fair. I'll admit I was a bit of a dick. It was 3am and I was dying from allergies so probably shouldn't have been posting whilst cranky.

Apologies OP!

It is shit. That's clear to anyone who has actually used any Microsoft product. You're a sycophant for a corporation that doesn't care about you and never will.

I don't know how long you've used the internet for, but generally THIS IS REGARDED AS SCREAMING, not this, so no, I'm not screaming. You used screeching in a previous comment as well. You're not commenting in good faith, or with an open mind.

You talk about me going on a tangent and yet have somehow diverted the conversation to Lemmy devs, Iran, China, and Russia. Hypocrite much.

Maybe you're human, maybe you're AI, what's obvious though is you lack a soul. The corporates have captured you.

I hope you can find a way over your corporate affliction, but for now, continuing conversation with you is pointless.

I guess we better just lie down and give up against the capitalist machine then.

Why strive for better when our masters and superiors can do everything cheaper than us?

Microsoft is shit, for a myriad of reasons. From the quality of the products they sell, to monopolistic anticompetitive practices, to supporting genocide in Gaza.

Not everything in the world is about money and convenience.

All things back-country camping!

There's nothing back country about this, or really even camping. It's on a wooden deck ffs, it's a permanent structure.

It's a nice picture and looks to be a nice holiday, but it isn't camping and I don't think in the spirit of the community.
