I’m a bit out of the loop too but I heard some superbowl advert made people finally think twice about installing a camera connected to the internet on their doorstep.

For your experience to be a happy one, the experience is not primarily reliant on what is being experienced being something which brings happiness to you, it is the you, which is experiencing, that needs to be of happiness.
So, although the outer world affects the inner being and a better world will improve the inner experience for many and is therefore a just cause, the search for a life of personal happiness is primarily about the situation within you and not the situation around you. - PunkMonk

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Trans children ‘will lose any hope of happiness’ under school gender guidanceEnglish
10·11 days agoWhere we were at as a country 15 years ago when it came to homophobia is approximately where we are at today with transphobia in my opinion. It is far too normalised, I’ll hear people joke about a friend of a friend of a friend being a ‘they/them thing’ same way I would hear about someone being a ‘bender’ back when I was still in primary school.
Like this person you know nothing about has decided to come out as non-binary, one of the bravest and hardest decisions in their fucking life, and here you are laughing at them you pathetic, ignorant, gossiping man-child. Sorry, I just needed to get that out of me.

3·16 days agoSuch a beautiful reply, I wish I was as educated with my research & analysis as well as so articulate with my points as you are - instead of my typical half-assed rambling lol. Thank you and sorry for being overly pessimistic!

6·16 days agoTed Kazcynski had somewhat of a point - I say somewhat because he was a leftist hater and I think a bit off the rails. Technology is already way out of control, I don’t think most people understand that if there were to be a socialist revolution in a 1st world country any time soon, just how much of an advantage the state has over the people due to it’s surveillance network. Privacy for all intents and purposes is practically gone already if you’re of interest to the intelligence agencies and around anything with a connection and/or even just standing outside thanks to satellite imagery. And that is just the technology which we know of, it’s horrifying to think about the possibility of tech that remains classified.

3·16 days agoThere are certain people who seem to be unable to understand that their exact method is not the only viable option. Like they close their minds so tightly that nothing but this one exact thing is the ‘real’ thing.
Imagine someone being like, “This painting I created is the only beautiful piece of art ever made, every other painting is painted incorrectly by dumb, talentless artists, I am the one true painter.”

UK Politics@feddit.uk•In the face of Trump’s threats, Britain’s best path is clearer than ever: hurry back to Europe
2·1 month agoI’m not waiting, I and many others are constantly going through the process of learning and applying Marxist-Leninist ideology to themselves and their local community. The Bolshevik’s were a small party until revolution came, the decline and fall of systems and ideologies is not linear, they unpredictably and wildly grow and shrink.
But look around, capitalism is in decay, it is clearer now than it was just a few years ago and in a few years it is very likely it will be even clearer and even more decayed. And this will directly affect people’s political views.
Real, signifcant change to our society only has come through organised revolution (it is how feudalism became capitalism) history has shown this. Please read Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxembourg.

1·1 month agoA broken clock is right twice a day. We did not leave the EU for the long-term betterment of the working class but it is something which we have gained. If we want better working rights, we need to organise within our own country for major changes not join a capitalist, imperialist entity for mild concessions.

411·1 month agoThe EU is a capitalist cult, if the working class of Britain want a better Britain we should stay out of the EU. Yes, many voted leave because they’re anti-immigrant flagshaggers types but many were also misled, such as my mum, who believed the narrative that if we left the EU the NHS would get more funding.

4·1 month agoYou cannot expect the bootlicker’s to promote something which goes against the boot, at least not often. There are thousands of horror stories like these from every capitalist country every year that get buried. If you want more people to know about it, then do what you can with what platform you have, and the rest is entirely out of your control - another reason to fight for revolution.

52·2 months agoPlease stop using George Orwell for similes & metaphors. His works were pushed by the West as anti-communist propaganda, portraying a false equivalence of the far left being just as bad as the far right. There are plenty of better sci-fi dystopia authors out there which are overshadowed by this pathetic man.
But aside from that, fuck this fascist government and I wish you all the best with your case


What a dogshit liberal take, it’s primarily about keeping America the top dog through imperialism. Not saying the Epstein controversy has nothing all to do with this but Trump would still be doing similar warmongering even if the files had not been so damning to him and his circle.
