I just have this feeling like you get persecuted for speaking against the government in countries like China
Tell that to the students that were expelled from their universities and had their degrees revoked or the public employees that were for fired for speaking out against the American government’s support for the Gazan genocide.
Not to mention the civil servants that were fired/fined for advocating for LGBTQ rights in the decades past.
ai is a water and power intensive tool for the ruling class to further suppress people and labor movements to their benefit as well as help control who is permitted into the “in-group” for the future.
it’s actively accelerating climate change that will result in ending our civilization in the future and, like our captured political process, everyone sits aside and just lets it happen out of fear of being harmed themselves.
there was a post yesterday on asklemmy from someone who wanted to escape fascism by going to italy and i got downvoted for trying to make them aware that italy is doing the same shit, like this posts describes.
i wish i could understand why they assumed that italy isn’t fascist when they literally elected a fascist leader and made worse anti-lgbt laws than the americans have done (so far).
… If you look at this Lemmy development co-leader’s opinions on transgenderism, are you going to stop using this software that lets you converse on an LGBTQ+ safe-space instance with no involvement on a social level from said developer/founder?
A CEO or any kind of leader gets to determine the path that their organization takes. Slater may seem good now; but we won’t know until the proof shows up in the pudding, so you can only try to guess based on whom she take orders from. (Fwiw: I hope you’re right)
Bourgeoisie liberals do indeed use the transgendered in the same way that they used gays back in the 1990’s, as little more than a virtue signal and now (just like back then) they retreat from that virtue signal when it no longer suites their purposes.
Unlike the Democrats & other liberals; there is plenty proof in Lemmy’s pudding of its creators’ intentions. The generations long reconciliations that LGBTQIA people had to struggle & die to force acceptance in the western world; despite the Democrats; is now falsely appropriated to pink wash anyone/anything who disagrees like it is here.
i’ve been using prepaid for almost a decade now and i only buy $100 androids with the latest release and i use my voip number for everything.
i started doing the prepaid plan because i don’t always renew each month since i only need the data connection and i’m almost always at home. the $100 androids are a thing for me because i’m klutz with all personal electronics. so it’s more like i accidentally stumbled upon this form of privacy rather than seeking it out from the onset.
and setting up the vpn on the server itself is not an option? how about using a browser plugin?
i got caught in a soft version of this when i reported a former employer to my state’s labor relations board; i literally had to move across the country to become employable again.
these seem much worse since they affect more than your livelihood and part of me is glad that i’ll be dead before americans start to accept that these lists are a thing.
same here except i didn’t know that there was a 4th; what’s it called?
