Oh god, I just had a flash of a near future where he’s on the US ballot somehow. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he found a way. He could change the name of the States to X too!

Tried Sync, Liftoff, Connect and Lemmotif (I think that’s all the free ones on the playstore as of August '23), and I am always preferring Jerboa.

Ayran.

Jesus, what a mind job.

Ah, an inferiority complex That explains it.

I’m from everywhere, man.

You’re splitting hairs and missing the point, your reading comprehension seems to be wanting and you are condescending as fuck.

If we’re suggesting possible future organisations, I’m with you about a global authority, but I want it to be run and maintained by some sort of artificial intelligence. There are currently no humans that I can think of that cannot fall victim to their own desires and become corrupt when faced with power. Just take that worry completely out of the equation. I would like to think at the point that we have that level of AI, that that technology will have already found solutions to a lot of our current global problems.

Until then your proposal is sound!

I disagree, it is very useful to show how the tentacles of it are actually everywhere. It is the mechanism of it that is the bigger problem. The mindset of action disconnected from philosophy is the true battleground, before intent is even part of the conversation. I believe the whitewashing of fascism is a much bigger problem than the efficacy of the term; people understand they don’t want fascism in their lives, so if you point out and are able to show how insidious and ever pervasive it is in their own lives, and how they probably have been educated to overlook it; it is very useful. A bunch of scoffing conservatives and their apologists should not dictate the language used.

I mean, you implied your experience being a part of an organisation that literally kills people for money and destroys whole civilisations wasn’t a negative one. I feel like you don’t see how hostile you actually are just by existing in that state. My words are nothing in comparison.

Your comment doesn’t even make sense in the context of what OP wrote. They didn’t talk about their personal experience at all really. It was more a universal take about awakening to the role of the military in the modern age. I guess, unfortunately for humanity, you are the perfect candidate to wear a uniform.

So in reality they inherently have many fascistic elements that are unavoidable is what you’re actually saying. On paper everything looks like roses.

He raped and destroyed my old frenemy.

I can’t be bothered with all that and just wash everything at 30c on the quickest setting. Though I do also have to do an extra 1400rpm spin cycle to get rid if the excess dampness as my machine only does max 1000rpm at lower temps.

My main washing gauntlet is my drying regimen as I tend to max out the radiator. I hate slow dried clothes if they are not dried outside, as thicker shirts and trousers and the elasticated parts of boxers and thick socks get a nasty damp smell if no radiator is involved (shitty northern europe weather).

Governments are inherently fascistic entities. Ruling by so-called democratic majority excludes too many, even when you pretend that the way propaganda works doesn’t completely extinguish the concept of democracy. We are all living in a conservative socioeconomic reality that for the most part has many many, many many fascistic elements.

I just realised that maybe the lack of cat content is what I’m missing from Lemmy. I need to catify my feed.

Such a cutie too, by the way. Our first cat was a tabby, I love them dearly.

A lot of people in the comments can’t seem to make the distinction between what they have been fed since they were little and that they are used to, and what is good, or tastes good.

Having an early morning swim in the sea every morning for the next few weeks.
