That’s a bit my point, both sides are exhibiting the same energy at the moment. I thought Lemmy would be a bit more critical, especially since I figure it’s users are more resistant to rhetoric and manipulation.

At this point, I think even if the shooter came out and publicly declared his ideology, anybody that “guessed” wrong during the last week wouldn’t believe him.

Seems blatant to me, I’m surprised no one seems to be mentioning it.

Thinking this guy is right wing just because his dad is and assuming he “ironically” wrote an anti fascist song lyric on the bullet.

The media mentioned goypher once and everyone jumped on the band wagon without asking any questions.

At least the CIA nipped this Luigi before it could grow.

Kind of feels like the right invents their own truth and constantly does mental gymnastics. Now we are doing it? The media talked about goypher for a day and everybody jumped on it.

Some users would write their reply and then quickly block the other person so their points couldn’t be contested.

Honestly, it’s starting to feel like only the really good looking shooters get our support.

She looks like a necromancer.

Genocide isnt self defense. We know all the Israeli talking point and soft linguistic manipulations that come with it by now.

You are condoning their actions when you come to their defense. Stop defending genocide. Half your comments are you trying to make light of it.

It’s a large community with many political spectrums amongst their members I think. 4chan was getting 22 million unique monthly visitors in 2022.

It’s also what Hitler did. Guess what moron, genocide isnt okay no matter who does it. What was done to the natives was completely vile.

You have been brain washed into thinking what is being done is actually defendable. You are basically this generations Hitlers youth.

You don’t get to choose, they have a wheel they spin whenever they need someone.

I have a feeling it’s easier to put your music out there as an independant artists. There’s always someone taking a cut but the contacts are optional and there isn’t much gate keeping like before.

I remember that time and it was kind of awful. It was brutal in terms of packaging, and lugging around all those cds sucked. It was way more expensive and the money still all went to record companies, not to mention how terrible it felt to pay full price for a mostly garbage cd just for one song (singles existed though but not for everything).

Records companies also had final say on who we listened too and completely controlled the whole scene essentially.

I get the nostalgia but it was 100% worse both for artists and consumers. Well it has always been rough for artists tbh, I don’t know if it’s harder right now or not.

I do the same thing but at the barber shop while he’s cutting my hair

It’s also, in the end, a type of video game. You can’t “date” an npc. I really dislike the use of the word.

There was a user or two I would explicitly quote their whole comment because of this.

Had an other user constantly edit his post to add points after I replied which was much worse imo.

The only time I ever delete a comment is if it’s within 30 seconds of posting it, as to not cause things like this.

Which country has a copyright law pertaining to art style? I’m almost 100% certain that OP is in the clear, regardless of where he is.

Blocking roads is a popular and effective protest means. Would you say the same about black lives matter or the current anti trump protests? You are being hyper selective.

The message with the art is that it won’t exist if big oil isn’t stopped. It’s also an easy way to get in the papers without actually damaging the actual artwork.

And now we find ourselves in a situation where common people think protesters are the enemy and countries are powerless and can’t help the situation because it’s all the fault of global industry. Guess we could just give up and forget about it if those pesky villains weren’t constantly throwing paint on bullet proof glass.

What a joke. You are a mouthpiece for the oil industry and part of the problem.

They would be looked upon more fondly if oil companies didn’t pay for a massive media campaign against them.

I’m all for bringing back eco terrorism though, but for now it looks like the best we get is stopping traffic for a few hours and throwing paint on glass covers. Better then nothing in any case.

I can only comment on the behavior I see. This is an online forum, I don’t have a choice but to assume.

Regardless, most are very vocal about AI being theft, a line of thinking that directly benefits the copyright lobby and big AI. Big AI doesn’t mind paying for the data if it gives them a monopoly.

The moment a chatbot does something mildly worrisome, like help draft a suicide letter, the conversation is filled with people calling for censorship, protection and regulation. Again, something that would directly benefit big AI.

I’m also assuming they are against both the copyright industry and AI in general, just that most people seem to say things that help the copyright lobby and big AI without knowing it.
