Yet here we are, and evil we are. Case closed

You can go ahead and waste time beleaguering the point if you want. It’s not gonna change the fact that humanity is inherently evil whether you like it or not.

If it makes you feel better, it means I am evil too. Then again, so are you. We all are. It’s just the natural state of being human.

See, here’s my problem with that: humanity is inherently evil so everyone would be killed by such a thing.

Voting and mod tools, to start.

You hear the mods talking about how there are no efficient moderation tools and hoo boy are they not whistling Dixie. It’s difficult to even ban someone.

Voting is so broken because of federation as to be meaningless, or at least it should be meaningless but to everyone else it isn’t. So they walk right into another emotional meat grinder, thinking they’re being upvoted or downvoted legitimately without thinking whoever they’re talking to could just be voting against them with their alts. Users have about 3 to 5 on average of those things, at least from my count of others I’ve encountered so far. There’s nothing stopping someone from building botnets and rigging votes of important issues, misleading the users and enabling the most horrific shit imaginable. Imagine someone using a botnet to upvote gore or CP on servers they don’t like. Lemmy.world already had to deal with a similar attack.

Lemmy as a platform just plain sucks.

SSSSSSSSsssss…

crack crack CRACK!

The rest of us are over here breaking the windows and smashing the vent while you’re too busy getting angry at us for disturbing your work to notice you’re delusional from lack of oxygen, and about to pass out.

SSSSSSSsssss…

Yes, actually, it is, and you have to deal with them whether you want to or not. You can’t justify your hatred and bloodlust against protesters with the law; the law sides with them.

So yes, protesters on the street have the right of way. That’s the price you pay to live in a country that claims to be free. Don’t like it, move to Russia with your topsie Putin.

Bail fund. Physically bust open the jails. Attack police and liberate people from arrest. You know, the usual.

I agree with you that white-collar tactics should be a part of the revolutionary’s repertoire of government -overthrowing tactics, but honestly, I don’t see how it’s possible to completely avoid gettin physical with those cretins at some point.

Most violence is actually intelligent. They’re never mutually exclusive.

You need to be rich to emigrate

Yes it is what right of way means. You can’t just run over pedestrians on the street no matter how much they inconvenience you. You especially can’t run over protesters.

Get over their presence and get a life that doesn’t revolve around your 9 to 5, or you in general.

They have the right of way regardless of whatever they’re doing on the road. You don’t get to run them over like you’re in a Newgrounds game no matter how much you want to.

That means even when protesters are sitting on the road, you have to put up with it. Turn around. Find another route. Park and find another route.

Deal with it.

See, I can be obnoxious to prove a point too.

It doesn’t matter if protesters are hanging out in the middle of the road. You have to put up with them regardless. And honestly, the situation is too serious for your inconvenience to be taken into account. Fix the planet, then we’ll talk.

Yeah, you’re the one with the ability and the will to run them over and kill them and yet somehow, you’re the victim being detained. 🙄

Grow the fuck up. You are not a victim. It is not all about you. You are not entitled to 100% guaranteed access to empty roads.

You have to share the road with pedestrians and even protesters whether you like it or not. Protesters are a part of driving and a part of life you have to accept.

Do what you tell everyone else to do: Get over it.

I need to read those books again at some point. The first was off the chain.

No, no, you’re being selfish. You can’t be assed to sit in traffic for 10 minutes or simply turn around to accommodate for other people’s right to protest. That silly thing people fought and died to have. All because you don’t want to tolerate being inconvenienced. That is the height of selfishness.

You are selfish. Selfish, selfish, selfish.

Drivig isn’t even a right, it’s a privilege. Legally it’s a privilege. You have no right to drive and never did. They do, however, have a right to protest.

Stop only caring about yourself and invest your mental energy in something other than your shitty 9 to 5.

It doesn’t actually matter what they or others think and that’s a lesson I as well as other revolutionaries have had to learn the hard way over the years.

Public support has been made impossible to secure with the collapse of the education system and propaganda designed to convince Americans to reject education and learning.

So it’ll be up to the few people who managed to resist it to either revolt, or try to escape.

Sell it in another country or online.

We can make plastic out of fucking algae if we wanted. Doctors aren’t going to run out of gloves because a bunch of internet autists decided to blow up a coal plant.

I’d be more worried about the people on O2 and life support who need access to electricity. It’s why I support forcing power companies to switch to renewables so we can transition humanely. Note that holding shotguns to oil execs’ heads to make them sign the paperwork is in no way inhumane :P

You could always hawk it as new on Ebay.

And that’s a good thing. We need a revolution like yesterday, ten years ago really.

A lot of cancer patients need to pay for actual surgery or radiation therapy though.

Actually yes, you do, and I know because I’ve been on both sides of this equation. The only thing you can do is be patient and wait for them to pass or politely cheer them on and walk/push your bike around them. They are not seriously going to stop pedestrians.

The fact that they’re willing to endure jail over this is morally laudable. Jail is awful for those who can’t afford to bail themselves out. It shouldn’t be a place protesters are thrown into for exercising their first amendment rights but that’s how tyranny works.

You need to stop being selfish and grow the fuck up.
