hexbear isn’t fascist

the problem is strategic voting in a fptp system. if voters would vote their values (assuming their values are anti-genocide), then it wouldn’t matter.

you can lie to cops but not feds

that’s not what duverger’s “law” says.

hate this idea that it’s somehow principled to allow the fascist to win.

i hate to break it to you, but the secret service is allowing him to win. the democrat-run justice department is allowing him to win. you are allowing him to win. you could stop him. but you don’t really believe he’s a threat. you’re just berating people who won’t join your team.

Israel props them up

someone is paying for organized propaganda operations on Lemmy which honestly is a little surprising to me but seems to indicate that it has an impact on elections to some extent, so maybe me doing work to debunk it is worthwhile, too

is there any proof of this at all?

it was a bad amendment.

I have no idea if you are a shill or a genuine person. But, there are some behaviors that are bad things to do regardless of which you are:

Recasting your opponents’ views as other ones that make less sense and are easier to argue against, consistently, as a way of muddling the discourse, instead of being honest about what you’re saying and what you are disagreeing with and why, and just letting your point of view speak for itself whether or not I personally would agree with it

oh my fuck. this is gold. screenshot, archive.org, federate. put it on a tshirt. use it as a new isntance url.

These are the only two proven methods to work. Third parties, Independents do not work until the system changes

the prohibition party got a constitutional amendment passed.

peertube uses webtorrents to share bandwidth among users: if you’re watching a video, you share the data to other users at the same time.

There’s a good reason Lemmy doesn’t have videos.

peertube exists. it’s activitypub. lemmy is the reddit-like interface to activitypub. but the fediverse definitely has video. it even has live streaming through OwnCast (though i think peertube has livestreaming scheduled to be implemented as well)

edit: hey i just found a movie station!

and for the right reasons
