I’m just some guy, you know.
This shit is so funny to me. The side of the political aisle that speaks entirely with memes and wears bright red hats to identify one another thinks the left is virtue signalling every time they step foot in public because of a rainbow pin or something.
Kinda like how they won’t leave home without their guns, but accuse the left of “living life in fear” because we wore masks in public during the Pandemic.
I think hypocrisy is an official party platform at this point.
This is actually good advice in some regards. Go out and prove that what you have been told is true. Don’t rely entirely on others to understand the world around you, rely on yourself and think critically about what you believe.
Of course, Conservatives like Musk and his followers are incapable of this. They will watch TV and browse social media and believe everything they are told if it suits them. They’ll then insist they “did their own research”, which really just translates to finding an echo chamber to seek validating from others on what they already believe.
Drug Cartel violence can sometimes cross the line to terrorism, but usually isn’t classified that way. Terrorism is generally defined by targeted attacks against civilians in order to achieve political goals. Most drug cartel violence does not meet that definition.
Drug cartel violence is basically just gang violence. Violence for the sake of maintaining power.
I suppose “terrorism” is a more powerful word that evokes greater emotion from people, but we shouldn’t use it inappropriately or we risk separating the word from its own meaning.
I feel like the issue is that people expect a “Photoshop killer” to be Photoshop verbatim. Instead of focusing on making a good tool, people just constantly compare it to the commercial pack leader.
Most of the complaints I hear about GIMP are just “x isn’t like Photoshop”. I would take the complaints more seriously if any of the people voicing them could actually articulate what should be improved.
This is not true. All forms of antisemitic speech are prohibited in Germany, and it is enforced.
Yes, German authorities have been silencing pro-Palestine protesters, and falsely imply that they are being antisemitic. It’s an assault against free speech and human rights.
No, this does not mean that whatever hyperbolic thing you say about Germany in response must be true.
