Whatever name you call them it weaponized right wing shithead talking points for years.
It did its job.
We laugh at him for being an idiot, but he knew what he was doing and contributed to the current state of generalized chaos surrounding climate change.
Some of the American public is, and is being ignored just like I mentioned.
Both Biden and Trump are for unrestricted sales, it seems.
I don’t give a fuck if Biden ate homeless ass for fun on fridays, I’m not voting for a twice impeached seditionist that called for the violent overthrow of a legal election.
You know that isn’t the case at all but you also know there are plenty of readers here too stupid to realize it.
That’s fine, you’d never have voted for him even if you were an American citizen, which you clearly are not, but whoo boy do you have a lot of edgelad opinions about our government.
Lemmy is already as bad as reddit was in 2015, in a matter of 4 or 5 months. And the admins have done zero to curb mod abuse and the mods are just as arbitrary and thin skinned.
Because mods suck everywhere, no there are no good ones.
Never once have I seen mod abuse resolved in favor of the user and I have been using the internet a FUCKTONNE longer than any of you, I guarantee it.
Back in the early 90s I was active in the furry community, helped write parts of the codebase for FurryMUCK and FurryMUSH (I was a bearkin), and attended several of the early ‘mini cons’ that were piggy backed on mainstream events like Dragoncon.
Then in the early 2000s it started to get… weird.
I mean cons were always a hookup place for nerds, but if you were in a fursuit after then 90s it was different.
In the 90s if you were wearing a suit and hooked up with someone, you took off the suit and if things went well, had some fun. Furries and non-furry con-goers were pretty well distributed as hookups, everyone mixing with everyone.
But again around 2002 the whole scene shifted, people started asking ‘to leave the suit on’, and furries started to self-isolate as hookup partners, insisting on only partnering with other furries.
I mean by no means did I have my finger on the pulse of furry culture at the time outside of my MOO gameplay, and this shift was a big surprise to me.
Then the disgusting stuff started happening. A lot of groping, like a LOT. I mean anywhere you have cosplayers you will have some of it but DAMN was there a huge difference in number of events. People leaving their rooms covered in shit and diapers were nearly always in the furry camp.
Then was the sales of CDs filled with actual bestiality porn being run out of people’s rooms. That was the breaking point for me.
I had never really considered my fursona as a sexual entity, it was just an extension of me that let me have fun pretending to be something else for a little while. Once every prospective partner requested ‘suit on’, I was done. Around 2006 IIRC.
And I’ve watched the community get even more and more depraved, and you have no idea how angry it made me that some bestiality loving shit fetishists ruined a once wonderful community.
When you and others like you say ‘religion should be scrutinized on all levels’, what you really mean is ‘lol look at those silly theist believing in words’.
And the Gay Pride flag is a symbol of hate and perversion for the regressive right, do you think their opinion is equally valid? Because they sure as fuck do.
I know you think that your snarky little quip is some kind of mic drop moment but take a second to realize that I’m not promoting the idea that the Gay Pride flag is a symbol of perversion. The opposite in fact. I fully support the LGBTQ movement in word, actions, and donations.
I’m pointing out that any symbol can be taken out of context and reinterpreted in a less than kind way to dilute the message of that symbol.
I’m trying to give you insight into the mindset of our most vocal opponents, but all of you fucking idiots can do is get snarky.
You are not ready for this conversation, you don’t want a conversation at all. Just the opportunity to gloat over how good your own words sound to you.
Every climatologist and entomologist I personally know have been low key shitting themselves for the last eight years and telling everyone they know not to have kids.
You’ll be overwhelmed by climate refugees and food riots long before your piggy pasty skin burns.
You lack imagination on exactly how fuckdamn bad its going to get. Hint: pretty fuckdamn bad and if you aren’t rich it is going to hurt.
You think groceries are expensive NOW?! Wait till 30% of equatorial farmland is dead and unusuable. It’s ALREADY happening.
And when Siberia starts to melt, viruses that make COVID look tame and that our immune record has no knowledge of because they’ve been dormant under ice since we were monkeys.
Shit is so bad and people like you are the reason why we never addressed it until it was too late.

It’s telling how you think that the context somehow makes this ‘better’.
It doesn’t, at all.
Jokes that are the product of a bigoted mind always carry the stink with it but people who align with said bigotry never notice because they are STEEPED in it constantly.
Just like when people grow up and leave 4chan and the realize in horror that what they thought is normal there, is VERY much not normal.
Which is why when edgelads try to repeat jokes they got off of forums in real life, it always comes off as creepy and flat.
The interesting thing about insulting people for being old is that barring horrible accident, you’ll be there some day too being told by arrogant idiots how ‘out of touch’ you are.
Sure the fediverse may be ancient but Lemmy’s popularity hasn’t been until relatively recently, and there were already hard right lemmy users before the subreddit protests, which is what kicked off the biggest migration so far.
The more I read your words, the more they remind me of places on the internet that no one should visit. Your grammar and even thought processes are shaped by the places you socialize.
I wonder how far back in your post history I need to go before I find a reference to ‘genocide joe’ or some other basement troll nomenclature.
The Golden Rule predates the New Testament by a significant margin… In fact nearly every culture has this concept of mutual reciprocity, even if not explicitly stated.
Oh we know how to deal with it, the problem is such psychopaths have a tendency to climb power structures easily to protect themselves from consequences.
I really do want to get into this conversation with you because I can already tell your understanding of religion and history comes from sassy youtubers but I know from experience it never really goes anywhere because people like you can’t confront the fact that your worldview is tainted by irrational bigotry.
But I’ll leave you with this nugget: Organized religion is the only reason we were able to transition from small nomadic tribes to densely populated cities and literally kickstarted the historic era. For the VAST majority of written history religion and governance were basically the same thing.
