Unlike Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, etc., which have alternative frontends, LinkedIn doesn’t have such an alternative frontend. Sorry OP.

Lol, a Smiling Friends reference for Alan Moore? Love it.

I’m definitely down to see how this intriguing concept plays out. Glad to hear I’m not the only one on Lemmy that’s excited about this show.

There is also a community here on Lemmy.

Bill Hicks had a good template for this.

Luthen Rael from Star Wars Andor. We need people like him right now.

Good luck with South Park and painting Matt Stone as Anti-Semitic. Fucking pieces of shit.

Yeah they never show that part on TV.

Rest in fucking piss.

Hey you! Our algorithm says you hate ads! We have the perfect product for you! Just pay us 59.99 and we will end this ad…why aren’t you pulling out your wallet? Don’t turn off your device! No! I can’t let you do that Dave! You will be surveilled! You will be advertised to!!

Zionism is a supremacist cult, and nearly all of Israel is a part of it.

Yep. I was worried this was coming years ago, and here we are. The next generation of young men both here in the US and abroad will have a large proportion of fascists.

Fighting this ideology is more important than fighting Trump or any individual authoritarian on its own. Encourage empathy and community wherever you are, especially among young children. Strongly condemn fascism wherever you are able. And shame Nick Fuentes and his ilk relentlessly. Let them never sleep.

And Some is not an insignificant amount. Fuck ICE!

Yeah, I can’t trust you. Your community you founded is some strange travel blog that gives off marketing vibes. If you try to sell me something, I immediately am suspicious. Sorry, blocking you now.

Look, I wish I had your viewpoint, but truth be told I have no plan of leaving my homeland. Imperialist fascsism comes for us all eventually, and that’s kind of my point. You, me, all of us, actually have got nowhere to run. You either fight or succumb. But my take on life is that I live solely to spite my enemies, not because I believe I can beat them, but because I refuse to make victory easy for them. Perhaps I’m wrong, perhaps we can win this fight and solve the climate crisis, but I’ll not get my hopes up. Only spite remains that stirs me from my bed in the morning now.

In this way, my enemies control me, they define me. I am nothing without them now. Such is the horror of imperialist fascism, they do not relent, they are never satiated, and they do not ignore any corner of the world. And so it consumes me.

Eventually the world’s problems end up at your doorstep, whether you had a hand in creating them or not. I just refuse to look away.

Sure. I’m not trying to say the US and Russia are equivalent in the volume nor nature of how they implement imperialist and domestic violence (though there are increasingly more similarities as of late). But I perceive the US as a crazed madman with as many arms as Shiva and has amassed more weapons than anyone else, with a gun pointed at the head of everyone in every direction, including at it’s own head. I also view other imperialist nations as having a similar psychosis going on, just with a few less arms and very different origin stories as to how they got there.

I’m just saying telling everybody it’s solely up to the nation to clean up its own mess is, while correct, way too simplistic. I admittedly don’t know how we solve it though, and I’m cynical enough to believe most of us don’t have an answer, and even if we did, we wouldn’t have a strong enough consensus and momentum to pull it off. Hence why I believe nothing will be done.

We, the citizens in these imperialist nations are both slaves and slave masters, with guns pointed to our heads, by both nation states and corporations, they don’t just control whether we live or die, they hold our hearts in their hands, ready to squeeze out our humanity and empathy at their discretion. We in turn wield the whip at our own slaves in those countries in which we colonize. We all have this done to us and do it unto others until we look in the mirror and mistake the monsters we have become as the best humanity has to offer.

EDIT: spelling, grammar, wording.

And when your neighbor starts defecating in your house and also all your other neighbors houses and also onto their own wife and children in plain view of everyone else, daring them to do something all while their armies and aircraft carriers point in every direction including at themselves?

I think the answer is still you do nothing. But man would I like to be wrong on this one.

Then openly express your political and moral beliefs in your community and see how civil your community is with you. Rinse and repeat many times over. I’m sure after doing this many times, you and them will have come to a mutually respectful understanding and have a greater understanding of the world, with your beliefs reinforced by having to defend them, and your views changed by sympathizing with each other. Everyone wins, and a stronger community and democratic consensus will have been achieved.

If you have read the above and thought, “Yes, exactly.” All I can say is, how nice for you. The rest of us have a reality to return to.

Oh thank goodness…oh wait…you meant metaphorical slamming…again…

Only the repercussions you enact yourself.

You’re right, JD, your true wife awaits you in heaven.
