leftists fight the enemy for once, please.

Mullvad is what I use and I am very happy with them.

the state should never enforce the death penalty. remove any hierarchical structures keeping together the justice system and bring in a community council operating under direct democracy and subject to regulation and recall. make sure the people ultimately have the power if corruption is suspected.

the death penalty should be a true rarity for extreme cases. i am currently unsure what i would consider for my own beliefs but i do know rehabilitation should be prioritized regardless.

spite, anger.

if you don’t see the difference between Saudi Arabia and all the countries you named then you are simply ignorant. it isn’t the same, not even close. this has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with human abuses.

yes, very. Louis CK tried to make a nuanced argument about how even people suffering should be given art, and by being there he was demonstrating that this kind of world exists. sounds reasonable until you realize that he is doing all of that in service of fascists. he is not performing for “the people.” he is not providing art or creativity to the group that stands to benefit from it the most, he is giving it to those who already own everything. this wasn’t organized by some sort of grassroots campaign of Saudi Arabian comedians; this was for royalty. he was entertaining leaders of one of the most oppressive countries in the world, allowing them to delude him with propaganda, and was shielded from the everyday life of the real people they subjugate, enslave, and kill. fuck him.

there’s a spring in my step today

i hear ya. i’m not one to participate in generation wars but zoomers were given access to the worst parts of the internet left behind by millennials and younger gen xers and it is doing a number on them psychologically. i feel bad more than anything. our government didn’t care and let these kids get ruined by their control of information through media and the internet.

i want to push back a little bit on this because while i believe some of us were joking there were tons who weren’t and are ultimately responsible for the chronically online zoomers we see today. young gen xers and older millennials built the culture of the late 90s and early 00s internet that became the blueprint for the mid 10s to now. we had some of the worst racism and bullying imaginable on 4chan and it spread to the real world on occasion in horrifyingly cruel ways, like taunting parents of recently deceased kids and shit. we weren’t all joksters, the cruelty started early and spread rapidly. we allowed the internet to be eroded by the destruction of anonymity and infiltration of corporate and political interests.

this country isn’t ready for what the youngest online male zoomers are like lol. i’m a millennial but i’ve been here the whole time watching cultures come and go and the memelord nihilist has been growing since ‘04. there are many variations and they range from sad and pathetic yet ultimately harmless to sad and pathetic and goddamn dangerous. these people can have a mixture of politics and usually prefer whatever has the most public condemnation so they can align themselves with immorality as a point of pride which becomes their identity. fuck having your own beliefs, just follow whatever gets the most negative response from society.

surprising to whom? i am so bothered by this needing to be news. we are so propagandized very few can see billionaires for what they are. there are no “good ones.”

vaguely, wow lol. i was NEVER interested in any of what they were doing. i didn’t even spend my money on cards for points. i just liked the forums and dressing up.

strangely, GaiaOnline is still going and the majority of its users are millennials and zoomers. it has the same functionality as it did 20 years ago lmao. it’s very active.

i don’t know of many other communities from that period currently operational.

no, sorry. i’m tired of hearing about things we refuse to fix. it’s frustrating and annoying and this is now my default response until we goddamn fucking do anything.

who cares? what are we gonna do about it?

confirmed to be a hoax.
