Painting it black is never off topic.

I do hope you are correct.

Especially in the us? Definitely. Just in the US. I think it’s impacted everywhere. Things like the internet have seen to that. Just look at the situation when it comes to libertarianism. If one was to do a search for libertarianism. 99.9% of the information you turn up regardless of where you’re from. Will deal with the right wing larpers. You actually have to dig to find out much about Joseph dejacques or any other early libertarians.

I definitely think things are better over in europe. Having much more political diversity and better education. It’s harder to co-opt terms than it is here. But it’s still informs language choice these days to not be confused. Those on the left much more likely to be identified as Anarchist than libertarian. So as not to be associated with those right-wing ghouls much as communist often refrain from identifying his communist due to all the people who larped as Communists and all the crimes they’ve committed.

They aren’t disputing the information presented. Simply the context of associating it with an image of stalin. Sort of sane washing him. It’s definitely bad that the United States does this. But it’s also definitely bad that it keeps getting reposted in this sort of context as a propaganda tool.

Two things can be bad. Why couldn’t meme just ask what country does this? Then end with “the United states”. I’d argue it would be just as impactful. Without having to downplay the horrors of another group.

Reading comprehension. Do you have it. It was an allusion to groups in power that use terror. Just because no one is claiming responsibility. Doesn’t mean it’s not terror.

Through it seems in this case it was likely a grudge.

Indeed, the missuse and coopting is how libertarianism was stolen by the right as well. People more often associating it with the antithesis of libertarianism. Ghouls like Peter Thiel. And not Joseph Dejacque.

Israelis blowing up another hospital? Must be a day ending in the letter Y. They don’t leave a Manifesto every time they commit an act of Terror. For some groups their agenda is so out in the open they don’t feel the need.

Recently switched a system from arch to tumbleweed. After another required manual update intervention. So far I quite like it. And if as claimed is stable enough to not have me having to troubleshoot updates. I will likely be switching several more. It’s not quite as on the bleeding edge as arch. But it still has plasma 6.4 and blender 4.4 etc which are the big things for me.

Yep, blaming the failure of the soviet state on something they didn’t have; communism. And not on their answer to every problem, brutal repressive authority. Much like where the US is now speeding towards. Just screams either disingenuousness or ignorance.

Lol no worries I honestly forgot the spin-off even existed. I was always much more of an IT Crowd person myself. Saw a decent meme someone posted a while back relating to the three main characters of the show with regards to autistic social masking.

100%. It’s sort of like an owner’s manual for your life lol. It really can help you understand your impulses and frustrations. And even overcome them sometimes. It’s not possible all the time. But just knowing can make all the difference.

Sort of, yes. Basically don’t be a Sheldon. If you are capable of taking care of yourself or self-diagnosing. You are also capable of understanding and mitigating your behavior and triggers. As well as knowing when to apologize to neuro normies.

Going back to the reference to the show. Nearly all of the main characters on there could be seen as being on the Spectrum somewhere. Sheldon’s utter lack of self-awareness and treatment of others was a setup for jokes etc. It was infantalizing. That sort of thing in real life would stress even the best of friends. Neurodivergent or otherwise.

Diagnosis is about understanding. Understanding is the treatment. And understanding goes both ways. It’s a bridge between us and neuro normies.

If you identify with any of the things on the list. It’s definitely not at all wrong to do some mild self diagnosis. The thing to remember, is that diagnosis official or otherwise does not excuse behavior. But it can help you to understand it and overcome it. And there’s no downside in that.

CBS and it’s reliability on anything to do with news is now a joke. They’re blown up any credibility that they may have had left. Turn themselves into a punchline for profits as capitalists are wont.

Anyone here want to hear a joke? Turn on CBS.

And tankies will ironically still hate it.

The first of many. Because Neville CBS Chamberlain played themselves.

Much more appropriate. It’s not an island, the people being sent there will not be criminals, and the people sending them there are fascists.

Definitely interested to see what Perry and the gang cook up. Straight up, if it’s something riscV with decent specs and company support behind it. I’m absolutely there for it.

To the people that accept russian propaganda, truth is irrelevant. If you waste time giving them proof of the basic truths the willfully reject. You have only wasted your own time and done exactly what they wanted. In this way they can keep thousands of foolish well-meaning people from simply dismissing their accusations as deserved.
