Do you think lemmy sets public policy? The only thing that happens here is people comment on shit. So you’re bothered by comments to the effect of “influencers tell kids to do stupid shit and sometimes kids die because of it, and this is bad.”

Why do you think that freedom of speech means no one is allowed to criticize speech? Criticism is also speech.

Your TikTok addiction may have turned you into a psychopath. “Kids die all the time, what’s the big deal?”

The gun rights crowd has better arguments about why their hobby is more important than kids dying.

So you’re making excuses for antisemitism instead of speaking out against it? You’re more afraid to do the right thing because you’re afraid of what your little hate group will think of you.

Just search for “palestinian protests at synagogues”

If you’re protesting at a synagogue in Canada you’re protesting Canadian Jews, not Israel. You’re against Jews in general, which is the definition of the word “antisemitism”.

“Sit down and stop being condescending.” – someone that doesn’t lecture people

Seems a little confusing of an analogy to choose with all the antisemitism going on these days.

Also not sure why you’d choose an uprising that failed to overthrow the Nazis, with many of the people involved dying in the attempt or dying in death camps shortly afterwards. The most of those that survived all of that immigrated to Israel or the US.

I’m not sure what you’re saying your goal is when this is the analogy you choose.

Everyone knows what Trump is. Trump is demanding an increase in military spending with the expectation that the money will go to the US. He’s basically demanding tribute.

Saying “sure we’ll spend more on defense” while spending on our own defense industry is calling his bluff while also getting ready for if and when he starts using the US military to bully allies.

Nobody else in the world needs to be lectured about the problems with the US military industrial complex. We know.

Who do you think you are in this scenario? Would you be with the guys using violence against Jews or would you be on the side that was against those guys?

Yes, your stochastic terrorism is indeed ok with the US President. You’re helping him by giving him a boogey man to justify oppression.

Yeah, it seems they also didn’t mention that it’s a European defense company, not a US defense company.

Europe is investing a lot into defense now and it’s actually a good thing that they’re moving away from dependence on the US defense industrial complex.

Spotify sucks tho. But that’s a separate thing.

Clickbait article.

Sorry best we can do is have the marketing department take over XBox and now it’s just a logo they license out.

You don’t need to wonder, you can just Bing™ it!

And stochastic terrorism is okay with you?

As long as it’s some other nutjob that kills some people and gets killed or jailed for life and negatively impacts the non-violent resistance movements, I guess it’s all okay with you?

You’re like that annoying kid in elementary school that’s always trying to get the other kids to fight for your own amusement. Psychopath behaviour.

Last I checked, the “Communist” Party of China has more than 80 billionaires with a combined wealth of over $600 Billion.

This doesn’t fit the Tankie narrative of China being a socialist paradise so just go on pretending China isn’t run by fascist billionaires just because they have a red flag with some yellow symbols on it. Fascists have never called themselves “socialists” to sucker the left into supporting them before, right?

The harburgler of doom. Robble robble!

I think you call it eminent domain in the US. But I think it can still be challenged in court, but wait a couple months.

Yes, the US is becoming China. You put a guy into power that admires Xi Jinping for the same reason China made Xi President for life: wanted a strongman to run the economy and protect you from evil foreigners. And now you’re getting corporate socialism, just like China has.

Amazing how fast you can build stuff when there’s safety standards, no environmental regulations, no labour rights and the government can expropriate property without a time consuming legal process!

Though I think a prefer living in a country where I have rights even if it takes a bit longer to build stuff.

So you’re saying we should stop trading with China?

Seems like it would be jail time if you get caught. Or serious prison time if it causes a fatal accident.

Obviously… but kids aren’t going to stop watching because of some tut tuts and wags of the finger. That just makes them like it more.
