The old fascist tactic of accusing the other side of the things you’re guilty of.

Really telling on yourself here! Would be funny if you weren't so sad.

I don't know, it's really a lose lose either way. Biden is either too soft and the GOP calls it a win and does something worse, or he is too tough and he's called a dictator. I'd rather he take decisive action and put the fear of God in them than let it escalate and get even more immigrants killed. Honestly after the shipping migrants to liberal states stunt he should have thrown the book and/or CIA at 'em.

Nationalism is poison, no matter the nation.

I imagine it's mostly upper middle class weirdos who have their own secret curiosity room of morbid shit so they can feel edgy. So, probably a lot of Harvard alumni.

The thing is AI voices are only good enough to trick most listeners. If you know what to listen for, or can dissect the audio professionally, it's trivial to fact check.

There has always been image/audio doctoring. Any reputable news source can reasonably identify these things.

Broken democratic mechanisms and a split conservative party? Surely this doesn't proceed a fascist dictatorship...right?....RIGHT?!

Santa has a history of, regardless of naughtyness, giving more and better gifts to children of those with capital. Not only that, he excludes people based on a religion litmus test.

Santa could end scarcity, but won't.

As an american jew, hostages don't justify genocide. Never again means never again.

Why not? Shame is good for bad behavior

Imagine having the time and resources to be such a shit in this way. The main thing is don't be a transphobe, but then a substantial secondary thing is get a life.

It's really impressive how Lemmy/kbin have totally replaced reddit for me pretty painlessly. Any time Ive checked reddit out of FOMO, the content is far worse, and the comments are horrid.

It's really an issue with how the fediverse handles communities. On Reddit each sub had its own moderation/governance structure which I think fits the role of an "instance" best. Here, each instance has a variety of communities which may overlap with other instance.

I.e. banning an instance for having community X impacts community Z who may also dislike X.

Without ripping up the floorboards, I suspect the answer is instances having community-level granularity in blocking. So one can block: The_Donald@*, *@sh.itjust.works, or most narrowly The_Donald@sh.itjust.works
