They listen if you listen

In a fantasy world version of the US, conservatives do that, in the real world US the minute you start doing that you have abandoned what it means to be a conservative.

What ICE is doing is way worse than what happens on the internet…? Most of the stuff on the internet is words, ICE is actually kidnapping, killing and deporting people.

You can put a clause in the license saying the software cannot be used for the dissemination of hate speech. The open source community has discussed this and decided it goes against the principles of free software and open source.

Says who? How can you authoritatively say the open source community has decided something collectively on this subject? That categorically doesn’t make sense on multiple different dimensions.

It was originally a survival focused modpack for minecraft until it morphed into a separate game and it is very good at that.

I also like the engine better, the fact that you can chisel out blocks, it allows for really beautiful building and makes crafting tools interactive in a simple but fun way.

Highly recommended!

Ok, what content stream in what medium when viewed in a bulk popularity view like that isn’t 90% memes or equivalent?

I agree, I think something that has been lost in conversation about progressive politics and leftism more broadly (in US-centric circles at least) is that as much as people on the left disagree about absolutely everything, in general (with plenty of exceptions) politically left movements and cultural spaces tend to be far better at identifying common values and truths that are universal and holding individuals and communities to those values and truths.

Whereas on the right the endless stumping about valuing freedom of speech turns out to mostly be a mirage when it comes to innocent, vulnerable people being physically murdered on camera by the state, on the left institutions and individuals are much more often held to a standard of values and called out if they fail to reach it.

When people enter a space where progressive and left voices haven’t been systematically silenced and it is a new experience for them, they often react negatively and feel rebuked. I know some of my first encounters when I was younger with actually left spaces initially made me bristle with how willing they were to say no to things that weren’t healthy, to challenge oppressive structures even if they were so normalized they were invisible to me… it can be an uncomfortable process but ultimately more often than not leftist spaces actually try to do it and it that is a good thing.

I entirely agree with people having agency to decide when politics comes up on their feed and when it doesn’t, but the idea that we are all just being a bit too negative and obsessed with the news and we should cheer up is honestly insulting in 2026 given, you know gestures at everything. Everything is political, if you have the capacity to complain about being subject to “too much politics” be thankful for your capacity to experience that state of choice.

Also, and this is on a personal note, talking about politics doesn’t make me depressed, it helps me feel less depressed and anxious because I know other people feel similarly and the more educated I am about what is happening the less scared and confused I feel.

bats are so smart damn I would never think of that

What conservatives want is for us to treat them like babies with tiny little fragile baby beliefs that we have to coddle.

I don’t care if you think differently than me, what I care about is babies demanding we take their hateful and irrational ideologies seriously while they simultaneously target vulnerable groups with at a minimum hate speech and harassment.

If we coddle conservatives this place becomes less welcoming to new people, that is how it is.

What about your mom though?

What if we figured out the right prompt to get an AI to regurgitate its memorization of reddit and just copied that? Is that still theft if it was already stolen twice?

1. More then Reddit this place is an echo chamber for the far left anti capitalist crowd. While I don’t mind a discussion, everything over simplified to EAT THE RICH was getting tiresome.

That must be so difficult for you compared to all the wonderful corporate platforms full of rightwing hateful trolls who genuinely harass people.

Edit Actually after taking a step back and looking at how many thoughtful comments and conversations have happened on this thread, I am heartened.

There is a lot of passion here, we are just fighting against unbelievably strong currents.

It breaks my heart then to tell you I lied, Longcat is my favorite song

Telescope - Hiatus Kaiyote

Genuinely any of the full length songs on the album tho…

Because for a variety of reasons the oil and gas markets are way oversupplied with producers and Trump is trying to at least temporarily kick Venezuela out of the supply side to keep prices from falling too far.

“There are Islamophobes out there that are waiting for the right moment, and what we call permission to hate, and after Bondi and things like that, where terrorists are perpetrators, are Muslim, then that gives them permission.”

Speaking from one glass house to another, it is very darkly ironic when majority Christian demographics start to get Xenophobic because they claim another organized religion is inherently violent.

Like… have they checked the scoreboard recently? Christians should be the most adamant about claiming things are more complex than “Religion Make People Violent” because if it was that simple than Christians are basically screaming at us to lock them up before they start another crusade when they scream at us about how Islam is somehow inherently violent or dangerous…

…Of course the idea of judging majority Christian demographics wholistically (which includes people who don’t really consider themselves Christian but grew up immersed in a Christian societal context) is a really bad one right? That would be cruel and missrepresent the massive diversity and breadth of people who follow and are impacted by Christianity right? So…

If I were conservative I think this site would drive me crazy.

Good
