    I’m not defending China here, but since Snowden we now know that American corporate spyware does serve the government. And they are suppressing democracy - this isn’t a democracy yet, and peaceful protests for democracy are met with violent police resistance - Occupy, BLM, etc.

    I sincerely hope that Lemmy can grow large enough to serve as a staging ground for democratic protests in America, just because it’s not corporate controlled.











  • Calling them weird isn’t going to work at all, that’s an absolutely terrible idea. Everyone wants weird. We need weird right now, just not their weird. We should be upping our weird game and present options that will work, that centrist libs will say are weirdly communist or anarchist sounding.

    Things are about to change big time and it’s too late to stop that. The best we can do is shape it into something good. But nobody is buying tickets on the normal train. If you’re here on Lemmy, then you sure aren’t.
