@sun@cjd I could see that happening, same reason why you keep seeing "police shoots black person" headlines and downtowns across America aren't being pillaged. The string-pullers know how angry people are over 2020 and everything about it so they aren't going to push their luck. It doesn't help that a lot of the BLM crowd got the business end of the police force last spring over anti-Israel protests.
@cjd What will happen is the same thing that happened in 2020 and in Mexico in 1988. Poll watchers will be sent away, mysterious power outages hit polling places in the middle of the night, followed by a bunch of uncounted ballots suddenly being found. I don't know if the fraud was enough to sway the election but what happened looks absolutely rotten on its face.
@SuperDicq@ArdainianRight@mangeurdenuage It does to reasonable people. Unfortunately Mastodongers and CoC enjoyers are not reasonable people. It doesn't replace "as well as personal political views" with "kill chuds behead chuds slice chuds in half with a katana" so the Drews of the world dislike it.
@mangeurdenuage@ArdainianRight@SuperDicq Or he's just a crybully that lives for fighting and attacking others uses woke politics as a way to scratch that itch. RMS makes for an easy target and the FSF is a pretty big scalp to collect for the CoC crusaders.
@sun Absolutely. I hate how Harris got selected as the nominee but there's a small sense of relief that the president may not be senile. Unfortunately we get a bitchy careerist that's never earned anything in her life
@Nudhul The U is often silent in Japanese, unless you're being really stuffy and old fashioned. It's why "desu" is pronounced "dess" rather than "deh-soo"
@teratology@icedquinn@Cyrillic@mischievoustomato@thegreatape Yeah, like many people with pretty severe autism or with a background in 1970s post-hippie culture, he has some opinions that are stupid at best and out and out dangerous at worst. But I frankly don't think this debate, deep down, is about those opinions, I think they're a means to an end and his detractors are using Rules for Radicals tactics in a Machiavellian power play. People that defend him aren't defending his weird views on children and sexuality, they're making him and the FSF a hard line in the sand because of how similar brigades have impacted and corrupted other FOSS projects.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad@cell The one time I rode Chicago's Red Line, I only took it to the next stop over, but it was enough time for some schizo to jump in, start screaming nonsense in the middle of the train car, then jump off. Me and the guy across from me just started looking at each other and laughing and shaking our head.
People wonder why our public transportation systems are so lacking here.
