email. email is federated. literally everyone has an email address and understands they might be on a different service, but its all email, and you just use their account name and the service part with the @ in between.
it’s not a complicated subject at all, and a good chunk of the humans on earth have no experience being alive without a federated service being a part of their daily life. (lets not mention telephones, or national postal services)
the issue isn’t perceived complexity, it’s that the negatives of using a centralized service are outweighed by the benefits. people don’t see it as a personal liberty issue, or a free speech issue, or a propaganda issue, or a billionaire oligarchs ability to control the flow of information between citizens issue. they just want it to be easy to use. and the more people that do it, the less personal responsibility they feel about the choice.
learning from history is for suckers, I guess
great, lmk when that rage does literally anything productive
they already know youre mad at them. fun fact: it makes some of them even happier to vote the way they did. but, sure, be angry! oh those damn, foolish, selfish people! …
ok, yes, welcome to the last 40 years. hi!
now what?
after she refused to pledge that she wouldn’t break a national railway strike
JUST LIE my god youll already be in office and can make up some nonsense why you had to break the strike (Im not antiunion, Im just saying)
JUST FUCKING LIE or were all the existential threats you wouldnt shut the fuck up about (instead of actually having a platform) not worth doing whatever you needed to get into power!?
… sigh
you didnt read my comment in the way it was intended:
everyone involved here- the doctors, the patients, the state medical board- everyone wants doctors acting in accordance with the oath they took. these doctors, while legitimately afraid of running afoul of the law, may have intentionally failed to help this woman out of that fear, and if they could have helped her, should have. the fact that “this law” exists is a question for another time and place, after she has received appropriate care.
if this law then causes a disciplinary hearing, thats how uts supposed to happen. the law can be brought into question. human beings with the requisite skills and experience to pass judgement on proper medical procedures can be consulted.
sorry, but people dont get to pass laws that cause doctors to withhold care out of fear, laws they only passed out of their beliefs surrounding conception and birth. if those doctors werent going to save that woman, who was? wasnt that literally what they swore to do? what they got that license from texas for?
you break the unjust laws. thats how it works.
im tired of oh standing up is hard
tell it to that womans family
ed to add: theres enough ire to go around. many people fucked up and they all share the blame
