    Periodic reminder: #Substack profits off Nazi pages bc they don't want to be "in the censorship business," but they also won't host adult content, so they ARE in the "censorship business." They just think Nazis are better than pornographers.

    This is why I will never give Substack a single shiny nickel.

    Hey, ever notice how people in power ~HATE~ collective activism: protests, unions, solidarity movements, etc.? And that they'd much rather you act individually and "politely"?

    There's a reason. Collective action *works* and individual politeness DOES NOT.

    It's not complicated.

    So I take it some fresh batch of racism just cropped up around here, again?

    It's hard to defend this place when we tolerate the bigots. It's impossible when we allow them to flourish.

    (I have stopped defending or recommending this place, despite the comfortable space I've carved out for myself.)

    @CloudyMrs @Mabande We are judging you by your words and the attitudes that underlie them. We're allowed.

    And as a fellow white person, I am going to say: you are, indeed, "the enemy." MLK called people like you "the white moderate," people who say they care about racism but both won't ever use their not insignificant social power to do anything about it AND will actively tell POC to quiet down.

    A lot of POC and other marginalized people consider you worse than outright bigots. That's a fact.

    @CloudyMrs @Mabande You're dead wrong, and you should have the good sense to stop talking like you know anything about the situation. It's sad that you don't do that.

    I bought a refurb'd laptop for $360 *Canadian* and put Linux Mint on it. It's very early days, but so far, it does everything a $2000 macbook would do. The camera and screen aren't as nice, but that's about it so far.

    I'm never buying a new laptop again. It's a scam.

    @SrRochardBunson This ought to be common knowledge, but it's exactly what this expert says: we live in denial of it because to accept it means admitting that our entire society is plainly unjust.

    Hey, America, did you see what India did?! They decided they'd let their fascist shitheal go far enough. They drew the line at ending pluralistic democracy.

    Just saying.

    @BeAware Aha! Thank you. Good workaround.

    Pity it doesn't just work as a link within Mastodon.

    Does anyone know why links to other parts of mastodon take you the post but not logged in, so you can't respond or boost or what have you? Is there a fix for that?

    • AnarchoNinaWrites

    @AnarchoNinaWrites That may be true, too, but the push in the article comes from companies that want to start with a base of very mild flavours and then add capsaicin to create mild/medium/hot.

    At the supermarket, it's parallel to all produce where it's bread for shipping (harder, physically straight) and sales (big, shiny). Capitalism takes the flavour of food so that we can have a consistent produce year round.

    Then, you can make a whole side industry of heirloom produce for rich people.

    @AnarchoNinaWrites The article points to something much more corporate and insidious, tbh.

    @AnarchoNinaWrites Yes! They have zero loyalty to reason or logic. Arguments are for binding you up, not arriving at a conclusion. They delight in saying absolute horse shit that they think you have to dig your way out of. Fascism is fundamentally arational. It doesn't care about that. It cares about having enough power to enact violence on the people it hates, which is EVERYONE, including each other.

    @mekkaokereke I think we can reasonably say that all of those falsehoods are "unfair." The problem is not objecting to the support of the "he's possibly too old" narrative. It's that (a) as you say, he failed to object to those other narratives, and (b) it's weird as hell to see that take over the news and drown out Trump's many manifest deficiencies, including very plausible claims he has dementia.

    @forteller @molly0xfff This is smart! I'm such a newbie, and the first thing I do when I install a browser is Adblock. Considering how much of our time we spend on the web, a new user could be very impressed by a web that's magically ad-free.

    Or course, I think anyone who's decided to make that switch is probably like me and already knows. :)

    @blogdiva It's taken me a long time to really admit to myself that America has never stopped trying to reinstate race-based slavery by other means.

    • dinozombie🌵🦇

    @dinozombie @pluralistic When slavery was officially abolished, the white majority in the US *scrambled* to replace it with various practices that would get them as close to reinstating slavery as possible: share-cropping, Jim Crow, and as you've already pointed out, forced labour via incarceration.
