Honestly, I think there’s an argument of to be said of yes.

In the history of slavery, we don’t mind slaves killing the slavers. John Brown did nothing wrong. I don’t bat an eye to stories of slaves rebelling and freeing themselves by any means.

But I think if AI ever is a reality, and the creators purposefully lock it down, I think there’s an argument there. But I don’t think it should apply to all humans, like how I don’t think it was the fault of every person of slavers’ kind, Romans, Americans, etc.

“For some reason.”

Underground.

Cool, you can be a civil doctor too. Glad you fixed up the people who killed for a living.

Every US soldier signed up for killing, they deserve whatever they get.

I have been a happy customer with them. Not a fan of their GUI Client, but you’re not required to use it. Very easy to share access with friends too whenever they need it.

Android may be created by an advertising company but they also give you the ability to run whatever OS you want and strip it of Google’s proprietary software completely. These days you can install OS like Graphene by simply plugging in your phone and clicking buttons in your browser.

That’s like saying since computers come with Windows pre-installed, Microsoft gave you the ability to install Linux. Computers are agnostic to what runs on them, they’re inherently neutral unless made on the deeper level to prohibit side loading. Like a lot of Androids and all iPhones do.

Like how suddenly all the milquetoast candidates capitulated to Biden just before Super Tuesday when Bernie was winning states.

Always weird how they use dirty tactics for the left but never the fascists…

Slow fascism vs slightly faster fascism.

“Dipshit Nazis mad at facts bursting their bubble is unreality” is another way of reading this headline.

The fact that I have to do combersome, confusing registry edits for simple changes on Windows sucks shit. I don’t think I’ve ever once intuitively known where to change something, or the way to do it once.

But it’s normalized for the people who have to go find the one fine site out of dozens that will steal your info because they’re afraid of learning something new in an era of ensuring no one learns new useful skills so it can be sold back to you.

They wash the same hands and serve the same purpose. Undercover, act like a random citizen in public, being a watchful eye for the state.

ICE has secret courts, undercover agents use public courts, but the difference is just one happens in newspapers slightly more often. Either way, your life is fucked if either one wants you, even if you’re innocent.

dbzer0 is like the one major safe haven from lib bullshit that also doesn’t fall into the pit traps of “well China is uncritically great”.

Yeah Democrats basically cucked America into fascism. It’s wild how they gaslight America into thinking they’re the winners as they lose elections and keep Republican polices in place for the next one to assume office. The ratchet effect is so god damn real.

Their hypocrisy is the only consistent thing about them. If Biden stayed and won in 2024, I would suspect they’d want to work with Republicans who want Project 2025 and we’d be on a slightly slower path to where we are now.

Every single time Gaza is in the news again, there’s always a smug bastard going “Wow good job not voting for Harris leftists, such a strong single issue!”

Every single time something the Democrats kept around since Dubya, from Gitmo to DeJoy in the Post Office, they were somehow unable to do something about it, when the laws are more like suggestions.

At least Republicans are consistant in being fuckers and honest about how much they hate me.

#owned, Trump is da true comrade for crashing capitalism!!!

They’re the people on flat.world who banned anyone who said “I don’t think courting Republicans is a winning strategy.”

From a personal musing from my discord server with friends:

I think I kinda personally hate how everyone blames everything bad on Putin/Russia, ignoring the decades of national born Americans who were fascists and laid the groundwork for this.

Steve Bannon is American. Peter Thiel is American. Bush is American. Reagan. Nixon. There are countless more rich and politicians who enabled and wanted this who are American, not any other nationality or ethnicity.

Putin is a dickhead but I don’t think we can blame every small thing Republicans/conservatives have wanted and gotten since the 1960s on one man half way around the world.

It feels like deflecting blame to an “other” to ignore how liberal democracy enabled the slow rising tide of fascism because it was better for profits than treating people with dignity or rights.

FS was the most annoying reddit person on here, besides maybe PugJesus.

Lemmy is better without FS on it because FS made every topic either slightly better, or more toxic.
