The argument is that all you’re doing is moving the carbon emissions from the car directly in your vicinity to the coal-fired power plant a long distance away. Move that same coal-fired power plant into the sealed room, and suddenly it’s no longer far away, and the “unclean” nature of the electric car, so the thought process goes, becomes obvious.

Major demographic collapse is already happening around the world, it’s just that it happens in very, very slow motion. You can see examples of just how slow-motion by looking at Japan and South Korea, or China with the ripple effects of the one-child policy only now starting to be observed en masse. Same with many countries in Europe, like Italy and Greece. The US would be experiencing it in slow motion right now, but we make up for the difference through immigration.

Yes, and ads should be regulated regardless of whether the service is free or not. Same way you can’t put outright porn on a highway billboard.

Or, hear me out, they were born in a place without their consent, raised in that place as a minor without their consent, and now are not financially or physically capable of leaving that place on their own.

Not @RemindMe@programming.dev , but here’s your one-year reminder.

Okay, let’s be generous and give you the benefit of the doubt. What would you consider to be an unbiased, credible source of factual information? Be specific. You’re the one putting out the blame, before you say anything along the lines of “it’s not my job to educate you” or “do your own research”. You’re the one making the claim of bias.

No hard feelings when I get the order to round up your kids to put into the camps after Führer Trump gives the signal, right? I’ll just be following orders, and don’t worry, work will set you free someday! I’m sure the dead Palestinians from our nuclear launch will thank you from the afterlife for sticking it to The Man.

Sounds like we didn’t use enough then, if you’re still here.

Yeah, instead we should put troops on the ground and invade the West Bank with our own soldiers and start bombing kindergartens directly! Hooyah, second Trump Presidency here we go! /s

Mastodon?

And would you consider officers in the military “commoners”? Senior NCOs casually talking about the “woke” and how they should be rounded up? If someone in your life casually said “you know, I’m not a racist, but we need to round up all these X and”, is that of any concern to you? Are you putting yourself in the category of “commoner”?

Yes.

Then in that case I hope you enjoy the last few tastes of freedom before Gilead arises. No hard feelings when I’m given the order by Führer Trump to round you and your family into the camps? I’ll just be following orders, after all. Work will set you free eventually! Oh and don’t mind the ash, that’s just the Palestinians and Muslims.

That’s why we should follow the example of the French and do a Revolution every now and then!

The name is a holdover from the alien site. The culture changed but the name never changed once it got to Lemmy, and it’s not actually about “white” Twitter anymore, just Twitter in general. That’s how it’s been explained in other posts, I’m not exactly a frequent flier in these parts.

Then put them all in the prisons and enslave them, as is legally allowed per the Constitution. They’ll work with sufficient coercion. Have the CIA seize their overseas assets and repatriate it all, or if it’s in a hostile country, have the CIA exfiltrate or destroy as necessary. Humans will work when enough physical and psychological pain is applied to coerce them. That, too, is human nature. If they attempt to flee, have the CIA find them, put them in unmarked vehicles, and extradite them back to US soil to be put back to work.

It worked when we dropped the sun on Japan, twice. Turned them from a fanatical warrior death cult into salarymen and pacifists in a hurry.

Those don’t sound like kids, those sound like not-so-stealthy astroturfing advertising bots.

Maybe humanity just deserves to die, all of it. That’s why I joined the submarine force, so I can be there to flip the toggle when the order comes to end it all. I even look forward to it, sometimes, like when I read shit like this.
