Man i’m a platypus, what did you expect?
I disagree, although I can definitely see where you are coming from. Places like Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi are still dealing with outright racism in some areas. There was even astory I read about a town that had a white okigarchy which wouldn’t give its black resudents mayorship. The South, while seeming like it won’t change, will eventually have to. There are a lot of demographic shifts happening here that will force it to change some. Not to mention a growing labor movement, awareness of clinate change, and growing activism to address social issues that will increasingly put pressure on local and stare governments. So, yes, it will take time to correct the inertia of the status quo, but it’s possible.

I hope this really hapoens. I’ve heard that video game development is a toxic jndustry to be in, from underpaid developers to strict dealines to meet. I really hope they will unionize!
I agree with this post you made. If the best we can do is vote into office a fairly old, out-of-tuoch president who has done a moderately decent job of running the United States, then it’s a lose-lose situation for everyone. Politics especially in the United States has become too boring and safe. We need to take a risk on Cornell West and spice the game up a bit. Else we’ll repeat the same mistakes we’ve been making for the past 50 years.
Edit; pls forgive my passion posting, whoops. Point is we need a shake up cuz stuff is going down the drain a little
Ooh, thanks for your analysis! I never considered the “lack of choices” perspective.
Yeah, i totally agree. Electoralisn is one path, however, if more people resist, it’s a way better effort. The problem is just even getting people engaged right now. The main focus should be getting these structures and networks up and running, especially in underserved places like rural towns and impoverished areas.
At thsi point the only reasonable thing we can do is have a massive grossroots effort at local and state levels.
We need outoftheloop, or something like that for lemmy, i enjoy reading all the juicy drama thats bound to come from the wonderful concoction of early unstable-ish foss software and people problems.
Penguins are the bomb. They’re cute, adorable, and help keep the world running w
Honestly, so far, for my lemmy experience, Beehaw, as well as a few smaller instance, have been pretty safe spaced, and a lot more chill than the general atmosphere of the Internet. They are a good example of what good moderation looks like, and i hope this style catches on as instances grow.
I will just say it has always been an observation that degrees in humanities and the social sciences augment math and acience and help us understand ourselves and the world. We need more imagination and introspection from the liberal arts so that we can implement the ideas in real life with nore technical math and science degrees.
They’re really pulling an America, aren’t they?
Locked, loaded, and ready to fire! I am sorry about decreasing your faith in humanity, and sorry if I throw a lot at you.
And here are a few to restore your faith:
Happy watching, and keep dreaming!
If you’re more interested, a YouTuber over here went over PragerU propaganda in this kids show, and I think it shows something important about how propaganda can present a certain world view as well as hide it. Prager U For Kids: A Horrible YouTube Channel
Yesssssss!
Lol, what if out of spite we basically created a “woke” cooperative that actually sold good stuff? We’d get media for free: good press from our service and good backlash media from opponents.
Why does this remind me of Publix? I smell a lawsuit coming…and fraud
Lol, you’re not, I can understand that. I like them because of the vibes, and the “night” energy that you have to get just right, otherwise it’s a random song.
Honestly, this was a very cool experience. Being able to log in with a Lemmy account on the open Fediverse showed me a taste of what is possible. Now if we can figure out how to migrate accounts to different instances I’d honestly love that so much.
