I have an idea. Make a new summer solstice celebration in the Nordics, where instead of burning wood, we burn copies of every religious text in existence - including the Qur'an, but also every version of the Bible.

Make it an all or nothing affair. Then I bet a whole crapton of politicians would find a way real quick.

Just wait until the "race realists" (who are also probably "climate realists") get a load of this.

Fríggin' finally. Talk to some of the fediverse people on Matrix or Discord regarding monetization and they'll lose their tiny little minds.

The most belligerent ones seems like a bunch of anarchists and tankies who couldn't give a flying crap about independent or small businesses, such as content creators, all the while forcing content creators to stay on the large platforms (like YouTube, Patreon, etc) unknowingly going nowhere.

The fediverse needs to spearhead ethical monetization, and no: relying on the "honour system", unlimited CC distribution and attribution while hoping you'll get money through BitBucket donations is not a way to pay rent. It's yee olde "trust me bros", but instead of massive corporations, it's a boys club of ideologically finagling molluscs.

Give me exclusive (or locked content), direct donation functions and subscription functions. Build it, and they will come. Ignore it, and most likely some unethical businesses will co-opt everything (like Meta) and just steamroll the whole movement.

Be anti-capitalist. That's fine. But don't be one of those guys who think you're just one day away from the revolution. That's dumb. Let's bring monetization to the fediverse!

The funny thing here is that Russian mobsters probably sold a few of those guns.

Oh, what's that? You think there are no Russian mobsters where you live? That's a hard maybe.

Also, there is no crime in Russia... since Russian mobsters work hand in hand with local and national police in Russia.

Just another reminder of how corrupt that federation is.

Ah yes, commodification of the property market. So smart, much genius.
