I think I read somewhere genp got banned in reddit recently, so it might just be an attempt to migrate some of the community

But let’s get an answer regardless

This doesn’t address the core issue of capitalism:

Owners in general (of businesses, housing, everything) get all the money, thanks to the opportunity to mercilessly take advantage of workers/renters/everyone else. And taking advantage gets you more money to take more advantage of people.

The passivest of incomes goes to the owners, the ceos are just the highest paid guard dogs of those people.

Is that ok? Passive income being much harder to earn for everyone, unless you are rich enough to start your own business, that is.

Are we not going to end up in the same situation? Isn’t it basically the same situation we’re already in?

I mean, in an abstract sense your concern is valid, but, at least how I see this case, this racist dogwhistle is very fragile, in order to stay discreet, and the meme is very low-stake to use.

The “battle arena” is also the chaotic “meme market”, where there is much less top-down control too, and individual idea virality reigns king. That is to say, as long as you explain your idea well, as long as your meme “hits a nerve”, it will spread either way.

To be exact about what I think, I think we should do both: 1. Use the meme as a meme, because it’s fun and dilutes the use of the dogwhistle, and 2. Explain the dogwhistle when we get the chance, without telling people to not use the meme. The explanation helps expose the racists, the meme delivers the antidote.

I can’t, for the love of god, find the damned post and comment that talked about it, no matter how much I look for it.

But, like, this is how language works. If you normalize a different meaning to a word, that word loses its previous function. That’s what oppressive regimes and cultures do to the most useful linguistic tools of the oppressed.

So, it definitely works, and it should work better the more secretive the original meaning is.

Something I recently read that makes 100% sense though is, such dogwhistles gain power if avoided.

You probably should make memes with it, to muddle its meaning, and make it useless for them to identify each other with.

I call this comment, the “58008’s Wild Ride”

After a short read, the case is specifically “Steam is prohibiting developers from selling their games to other platforms, at a price lower than that of steam, and then pockets the 30% platform cost, due to effective monopoly power”.

Which, if true, is super bullshit.

It’s better, because here the underlying pacing isn’t left ruined after the removal.

Removing the laugh track leaves behind (hilariously) awkward gaps.

Fyi, string theory, which is a popular, well known theory that assumes 11 dimensions, doesn’t really have that much appeal in the scientific community. It’s still fun to talk about tho

Playstation should definitely be top - right lol

100% lol, hadn’t thought of it that way

As per usual. If you don’t have money to protect yourself, it’s because you’re lazy and/or stupid, and definitely worth condescending.

I mean, they didn’t bother you guys.

The guy was just cold, and the gal had a personal moment. Not their fault, that you two little kids were scared of strangers.

Kidding aside, and assuming what you’ve written is neither internet-talk nor standard schizophrenia tendencies, it might be carbon monoxide poisoning. It was a phenomenon, with haunted houses very often just having faulty heaters of some kind, causing hallucinations in the right doses.

Wait has this been a widespread issue? I’ve only noticed this a couple weeks now, but I thought it was because the cat dropped my deck from the table 😶

What’s going on actually?

Sure, no objections there

So, to condense the article:

Opinion:

Lol

A record of records

Very cool and dense video.

So many good ideas, in an incredibly short and efficient format.

Holy shit this was good

I know you might be joking for hyperbole, but still. If you burn it, you can’t read what runs through their and their friends’ head, and you lose the historical value of having access to this period’s political pulse later.

And I don’t think these books turn people fascist. They only consolidate them.

If we want to stop fascism, part of the solution is stopping the root of the problem, where people become fascists. And our best bet on that is understanding.

Oh no. I guess the only reasonable response is to bomb another children’s hospital.
