  • Things have changed. Before, the worst Facebook could do to its critics was ban them and those that they knew. Now Facebook can have ICE turnover your house without a warrant for a troll post. A private company is now working to suppress a specific kind of conversation that questions the judgement and actions of those in power. It’s a subtle but very dangerous difference in why a bad EULA may not have previously caused concern but the new one is.

    Seems like every day the posts on Lemmy start blaming people who can do nothing to fix this and did their best to stop it but were overwhelmed by an international club of authoritarians. And now we few who are not targeted are being blamed for being ourselves.

    Give us a path that we can take to change shit. Fucking Christ, I can only plan so many minor friction points in my fields of expertise to slow down the march. Now I’m being blamed for cooperating.

    Fucking hell. This is why the movement doesn’t grow or counter anything - the aggressive blaming of people who are trying to do the right thing.

    Democrats 24 years ago we’re trying to pass comprehensive medical coverage. Republicans said it should be up to the employer. Now the right say that no one is entitled to any compensation or benefits without struggle. Dems today argue that medical coverage must be tied to employment or else welfare will spike. The Dems are actively using the strategy of a pre-millenium American right wing. Fuck, go find anything Newt Gingrich has to say on the topic during the Clinton years and show me how it’s different from Josh Shapiro or pre-VP Harris in 2016.

    You have no idea what you’re talking about.
