Turns out when all you want are loyalists, all you get are dumb assess.
I thought this was obvious to everyone. Heck, Futurama had this as a joke 20 years ago when Zapp Brannigan stuffed his crew with nothing but loyalists who fall apart immediately.
Philosophical inbreeding is also not good.
It isn't chump and his taintsuckers you gotta worry about.
It's the army of Federalist Society lawyers and policy experts around him. They've spent decades figuring out the removed in the armor of our governmental system. Figuring out how to dismantle it piece by piece.
Edit - wtf is that removed about? Wait....oh. bot thinks I did a racism.
Are you saying your comment was edited?
Fucken hell, that's the correct fucking way to define a gap in armor. Bullshit. I really want to try a bunch of slurs out and see what sets it off.
It's clbuttic bowdlerization.
I really want to try a bunch of slurs out
This is surely the most rational reaction to being slightly inconvenienced by a word filter.
SEE WHAT YOU'RE MAKING ME DO? NOW I HAVE TO SAY THE N WORD... I DON'T WANT TO BUT YOU GAVE ME NO CHOICE!
Wait until you try the in-game chat in Rocket League. You can't even type "Discord". It's a banned word. 🤡
"Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters."
A lot of Lemmy users really need to understand this. Far too often I see people deride want action that doesn't immediately fix all problems in the world as worthless or meaningless, simply because they lack the imagination needed to see how small actions can add up to big changes.
Even if the actions really do nothing, they get people active and organized, so that they can take more effective actions later on.
I honestly think a lot of this criticism is people's internalized rationalization for why they themselves don't take action.
Well, they focused on one issue and ignored the convicted rapist insurrectionist in the room.
Incrementalism got us here. At some point, you have to realize that you can't stop a flash flood by bailing with a solo cup and shouting "I'm helping!"
It's a stalling tactic to placate chumps while they sell us all out.
This is like not believing in macro evolution.
Actually, I think a lack of incrementalism got us here. We incremented in the wrong direction.
finally, a person with a STRATEGY. so sick of the whining.
she needs volunteers for personal escort and safety. i think she is going to be targeted.
If she's gonna be persecuted, the DNC and the Clintons might be also involved in that
