Poverty is such a weird concept when applied like this.

Much of chinas population were deemed as living in poverty, despite just… Living oldschool farming village lives like they always did. Might not have had much money, but they just lived like farmers and villagers.

Then a bunch of people invented a bunch of stuff, looked at these people who didn’t have those things, and said “man, are you poor! We better create some jobs for you…” and are now patting themselves on the back for taking these people out of their villages, and giving them the possibility to live for ABOVE 1.90$ a day.

Oh wow.

Most programmers don’t go on many journeys, it’s more like a basementman.

The left needs to stop its bitching about hurtful words, and actually focus on combating the billionaires who are trying to own the world.

Fuck your feelings.

You’re right, i was confused then 😂

Okay yes thank you, but we both know what was meant.

Never touched linux

I don’t really get this distro thing.

So it is basically just like choosing which app to access reddit with, except that if i choose the wrong app i might be auto-banned from a lot of the subs?

Also, i won’t see stuff i am searching for sometimes, because the distros sometimes make trouble if someone else hasn’t already subscribed? Or is that only on mastodon?

I am using Voyager, and chose lemm.ee for no apparent reason. But so far, it just feels like a shittier version of reddit but with better mods? I dunno.

Edit: turns out i was indeed confused.

“if you have nothing to hide…” Is just another fascist talking point. Your friends are repeating the propoganda.

Yeah i agree, the phrasing is off.

But it is still interesting that they dont draw conclusions like we thought, and especially interesting that they lie about the process.

In Danish a tank is called Kampvogn (literally Fight Wagon) so i was trying to do a “Repairing Mein Kampvogn” joke but then i end up with a joke in 3 languages.

They just had to split that atom, huh?

Shoutout to the protagonist: Will you PLEASE go back and fix this?

You’re completely right, both sides have speech they find unacceptable. But lets try to look at it a little closer, what kind of speech does the left try to ban?

Mostly stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, stuff that hurts others and keeps them down. But i agree, sometimes they take that too far. I think more left leaning people should focus a lot more on economic equality and workers rights.

What kind of speech does the right want to ban? Mostly stuff about their human rights violations, as far as i can tell.

Two sides of the same coin, i guess.

It means “i’m not a racist, but i still prefer billionaires getting all the money”

You can’t just go around accusing people of being mass murderers.
