Money is kind of fake at that level. It's just an excuse. It's all excuses.

The actual mechanisms are scarcity and power. Money will not change those.

I see a variety from sh.it just.works users. You do not need to defend your instance from me

Almost every time I go to block someone for being the kind of vile piece of irredeemable shit even I can't talk to¹, its @Lemmy.world²

I'm not sure I've ever thought 'fuck yeah!' Or 'I think this person is so cool!' about a .world user.

¹some of my favorite people to talk with at various points in my life include: the playground psychopath who had special nice tweezers reserved for pulling wings off flies, my methhead uncle's methhead neighbor, a pedophile, a serial killer, several edgelord humanities professors, a borderline/nascent nazbol. I swear to fuck these fucking turbolibs are genuinely worse to interact with than Nazis, and I include the times when Nazis have been holding weapons and circling me calmly calling me slurs.

²5/7 on this account, which is a lower proportion than I'd expect.

What does that word mean when you say it?

I'm saying it might technically be outside earth's orbit, but it is orbiting earth pretty close. So maybe technically but having to reach for a 'technically' supports my point.

And also I dont think we could get a person to the moon and back right now.

I try to be so deranged that it's impossible to honestly make that mistake.

Moon orbits what? Doesn't count as leaving. Might be technically out, but kind of only supports my point.

Also I don't think we still have capacity to do that as a species, but am not sure where the Chinese space program is focused on so can't say for sure.

But less gay and half of them are violent teetotalers.

Okay, the rich and their enforcers ¹.

¹including ice. Yes.

Fuck no. Hoping he dies in a funny humiliating way, I no longer vote. It's bullshit and I don't want to legitimize it.

a stretch

After j6 they're responsible in exactly the way every cop in the department is responsible for the obviously sex trafficking guy, even if they keep their rape more personal. They monopolize acceptable violence disempowering the rest of us, and instead if using it to stop the fucker use it to protect and insulate him from harm. Also all the legal/organizational/cultural/physical infrastructure they built for this shit. The dems fully built the fascism. All the other team did was paint some bitchin flames¹ on the side and catch the keys they were tossed.

Like imagine if Obama had given snowden a medal and declared the NSA 'over', or that their surveillance programs were over and they sent audit teams to suspect Pd's to cut their shit out. Instead of hunting him down til he got to Russia. Do you think any of this could be happening in that world? Or if he OR biden had curtailed, or just not expanded, ice? Do you think this could have moved as fast?

I love the assumption of 'he' by the way. Fucking libs.

¹cross shaped. Obviously.

America just lives surrendering to every peer enemy it defeats and then adopting the worst version of its ideology.

Maybe unions could learn this.

At least be grateful the terrain empire eventually falls.
