  • Which is why we need to get off corpo platforms. A corporation will never care for people or look out for people’s best interests, it only ever cares about finances going up, and will put that before everything. An authoritarian regime wanting to censor their genocide? Absolutely. Fuck the victims, it’s more important that our pockets are well lined.

    Bluesky is just twitter. It’s the same bullshit with a different recipe. It’ll never be a good platform for democracy.










  • the US isn’t a good example of a democracy

    This is true. I’ve never been a fan of the U.S. and their notion of democracy and freedom has always been gross to me.

    you live in the US.

    Big assumption.

    By that logic, you have to defy all orders instead of question them (because you either obey or defy at all times)

    I never said this. If more cops questioned orders, that’d be a good thing. Unquestioningly obeying is part of the problem.


    Honestly. I’m too tired to reply to you. You’ve clearly got a bunch of ideas about who I am and what I think, and I’ve no idea where you got these ideas from but it sure as heck wasn’t my comment. Have a good night.




  • Well, no. There are no good cops because they work within and prop up a broken and corrupt system. How many cops are you seeing stopping the vanishing of civilians and tourists, for example? If you were to step in and try to stop it yourself, how many cops would be by your side, defending you?

    It works because these heinous ideas are boiled down into simple orders, and people follow orders. There were well-meaning people within the nazi party as well. I’m sure there were even well-meaning people in the concentration camps, leading people to their deaths, but they weren’t good.

    That’s why all cops are bastards.






  • Here in Sweden you have loads of languages on packages, but the only time you mix languages mid sentence is when you’re trying to save space in the instructions/information label. You’ll often see Norwegian, Danish, and sometimes Swedish mashed together because we share a lot of words.

    So you’ll see like

    Ingredienser
    Vatten/vann, socker/sokker, kakao, smör/smør

    What you generally don’t see is product names that are a mashup of two languages. You do sometimes, and generally my knee-jerk reaction is also that it’s a bit obnoxious.

    I think that really only applies when they hamfistedly mash Swedish and English together. Worst I’ve ever seen was “pullad pork.” It’s like they attempted to make “pulled” sound Swedish, but somehow forgot that “pullad” already is a word. Thus making it sound like someone has sexually assaulted a pig.

    Eugh.
