What a monstrous society



Bruh you already built the fucking bridge just use it 


I think it should work with any instance, it’s just that Hexbear did all the legwork of drawing all the flag burning emojis 😆
Edit: Just to prove it, this one is uploaded to SDF, which as an instance has absolutely no special features. 

And the syntax pulls an image from any URL, so you can host the image on any website. Doesn’t even have to be a Lemmy instance.
So you can do this on .world as long as you have a URL to the image or a version stored locally. Which I ultra-encourage everyone to do



It’s actually just me copy-pasting a small image hosted by Hexbear. I believe Hexbear does actually have some extra stuff for their users to call emojis, but what I’m doing is just copying the Markdown it generates using the ordinary embedded image syntax.
The syntax is:

Also thank you for verifying that this works 😁. I’ve just been doing it and praying it looks good.


Give it a minute…


He was able to present leftist ideas in a way that didn’t scare
liberals. I’m sure lots of us on Lemmy got into leftism through Chomsky. Sucks that he sucked (so fuck him) but it is what it is 😞


Too little too late 🖕


What video of Trump’s could possibly be compromising for him? Like what could possibly come out to make
people turn on him if they haven’t already?


Do you think you could work towards ActivityPub integration so it would be able to talk to PeerTube instances? IMO diversity is strength but cooperation is a factor in success. Hope this project goes well and is fun 😁


So what is the difference between this and PeerTube?


Even if we can’t, should we not try?
Of course we should try, that why I said it feels like capitalists can’t be rehabilitated, not that they definitely cannot be rehabilitated and we shouldn’t even try.
Yes I’m definitely biased to predict that almost all of the capitalists wouldn’t succeed in even attempting to rehabilitate themselves, but I’m absolutely not willing to close the door for rehabilitation either.


I mean there are psychopaths out there who don’t do heinous things like these people. Like it would literally be ableist IMO to tar all psychopaths with the same brush as Epstein and company.


The “monster” framing precludes the idea that they even can be rehabilitated.
Maybe this makes me a bad anarchist, but it truly feels like capitalists are monsters that can’t be rehabilitated. Like I really want to believe that everyone can be rehabilitated with enough help, but can we really rehabilitate the few thousand people who are like Epstein in finite time?
I mean I think you make a good critique here.


Think less illness and more…idk…corruption of the mind?
Yeah I’m with you, but I really think it’s crucial to make a distinction between framing it as an illness vs framing it as the logical conclusion of the capitalist mindset, for which we have thousands of pages of prior analysis to understand.


Affluenza is a capitalist framing. We don’t need to capitulate to capitalist framings (not even the tiniest amount) to say that the capitalists need to have their assets seized and be involuntarily committed for rehabilitation 🙂.


Still, OP is giving into a capitalist framing. Affluenza was popularized during the trial of Ethan Couch, where the argument was 100% literal.


The problem with “affluenza” is that it is used to deflect responsibility from these capitalist monsters for their atrocities. Like it’s not an illness like influenza, you don’t just “catch” it and suffer the consequences through no fault of your own.


Broke: Taxation is theft, therefore it’s bad.
Woke: Taxation is not theft, so it’s okay.
Bespoke: Taxation is theft but stealing from the capitalists is good, therefore taxing the rich is good.
I know that taxing the rich isn’t anywhere near enough lol 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴


Zionism predates Labor Zionism. And fuck Labor Zionists and their so-called Zionist socialists too, and double-fuck Zionist “”“anarchists”“”. Next you’ll be arguing that I oughta like urinal cakes because I like cakes 😆
Hey Guardian, the word “interaction” is doing a lot of … “heavy lifting”.
Like why the fuck you gotta always use the most passive voice to describe when authorities brutalize anti-
protesters? (Rhetorical, because they’re liberal Zionists
)
