You have no idea what’s happening here, do you?

I hope so. Traditionally the fascist way is to pick off small groups so they don’t have to frog boil as much. Hoping they overstep their bounds and people get pissed and do something.

You know, i really underestimated how much Lemmy users operated on kneejerk reactions with my comments here. I guess there nothing i can do about that though. Seeing this kind of reaction to a perfectly reasonable opinion is just kind of exhausting.

I have a Twitter account that i haven’t posted on in years. I only use it to view posts that my friends have sent me. I keep telling them to stop using Twitter but they won’t listen. My usage, if anything, is costing Twitter money to serve me the content on my browser that does not allow for ads or tracking.

So then tell me, how does it make you a dunce if you have an account and don’t use it, or if you have to use it for business? Consuming content on there is pretty stupid because every alternative is better and not run by Nazis, but just having an old account?

You’re only a dunce if you ONLY have a Twitter account

Edit: Jesus i really struck a nerve here, didn’t i? I was not planning on getting into an argument like this 😕

Very few people here seem to understand how high the bar is to get a violent revolution going.

Your average American upon believing that the revolution has started will shake their heads and maybe have casual conversations with their friends about that crazy revolution that got started while they drink beer at their local bar or bingo hall or whatever, and leave early cuz they gotta get up for work tomorrow.

No revolution is happening without the government making some serious disruptions to those people’s way of life, and even then most of them will just blame immigrants like they’re told.
