This is **specifically** why I was so angry at “smart people” being for the TikTok ban.

Censorship in all of its forms needs to be countered or else it goes mainstream.
Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

I don’t get this? Did someone force democrats to ban TikTok?

Of course Trump is going to take credit for unbanning it.

This ban was a trap and our elected officials fell right into it.
I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

My primary observation looking at the reactions to the CEO of UHC being assassinated:

As a society, we have more tolerance for systemic and bureaucratic death than we do for directed and intentional death.

I think this difference might explain why society feels so cold and cruel as well.

Something that frustrates me about this is that Neekar is a Farsi name. There are real people with this name. It’s genuinely not cool when your name is dealt with this level of prejudice. You still have to exist and operate in society with that name.

A US-produced JDAM was used on a 500lb bomb in the attack. @hrw says US officials may be complicit in war crimes due to weapons transfers. “#Israel’s use of US arms to unlawfully attack & kill journalists away from any military target is a terrible mark on the US as well as Israel.”

It’s wild to me that people really rather put up with the BS Microsoft keeps doing to windows than just…try Linux for a few days and see how it goes for them.

Finally, my second language knowledge that has been so hard to deal with on western websites due to sanctions finally pays off

Considering how many of them have turned out to be true, at this point anti conspiracy belief is a psyop on its own.
Conspiracy theories are attractive because they make stupid people feel smart.

I’m really tired of the constant infantilization a certain group of “anti-federation” people keep doing.

A person of color isn’t going to die if they see some racist shit. Calm down.

Like, we know how to protect ourselves and understand the pros and cons of federated services.

Damn, clown auditions happening rn
Even worse. So you've gone from oppressed to oppressor, and tone policing bull shit like.

I am whoever I want to be, and maybe you should talk to your therapist about your gender issues that you still seem to be trapped with instead of inflicting it on me.

Meanwhile men:
The world could use a few less sex workers. Sorry, not sorry. Same reasons the world could benefit from less alcohol. Addiction is real.
