Rest assured that I have other valuable and relevant skills.

Fair enough.

Not sure I’d pass the background check for that in CA. Years ago I had an unfortunate reaction to a new medication, suffered hallucinations from it, and was involuntarily committed for a few days (I was fully out of it) while I recovered. It’s all documented.

Lmao this is cute.

What will that do and how will it help all of the people in her same position?

Where are they being detained and tortured again?

Saw an article today about a French scientist who was denied entry to the US after their phone was searched and texts critical of Trump were found.

You’re getting downvoted but it’s important that we remember this. She’s hot, she’s white, she’s an actress. She said herself she thinks it’s thanks to her friends and family working with the media that she got released at all. I bet she’d agree with you that being white played into her favor here.

Think about all the people who don’t have those types of resources or public empathy points. We have no idea who is actually locked up right now or what will happen to them.

Yes, they have that “social conservativism” that has become the shared obsession of the American right thanks to Russia’s brilliant disinfo and behavioral modification campaign.

I just meant that, economically, they do not share American conservative values. For example, the typical poor Russian can’t just work their way up the social ladder, start their own business, hit it big, own a bunch of property, etc. You must be born into it, full stop. This is the piece that American conservatives fail to understand in their Russian aspirations, and why, at the end of the day, they really do not want to be Russian despite what they’ve been brainwashed to believe.

Under the current administration we indeed aspire to be more like Russia and are succeeding.

That’s really interesting. Are the people/entities who own individual servers (or even certain servers) known to the general public? I love the idea of social media not being centralized in the hands of billionaires, but I worry about trusting all of the same information to someone whose identity I don’t know at all. Flip a coin, they’re probably Russian or Chinese.

Basically I’m just asking about how/why we trust the owners of these servers. I still have a lot to learn about this technology.

You have a lot of catching up to do. Good luck.

I don’t think this is even close to possible. She has removed herself from public view for a reason. On a personal level, she’s done. If she had any intentions to run for any kind of office, she would have emerged by now as an opposition leader.

Dude, that’s just not true. Did you even try to look into her policy positions?

I just started and still don’t understand this lemmy. I thought one of the perks was being able to interact on any server despite which one holds your account.

That’s not quite right. Russia is not conservative in the American sense of the term, although they are far right in terms of authoritarian rule. They’re an oligarchy. But their 10-year psy-op against American conservatives has been incredibly successful. They are up to their eyeballs in Russian conditioning and behavioral modification.

It’s actually incredibly impressive. Turns out that Russia won the Cold War, and their greatest former adversaries (American conservatives) ended up being the United States’ weakest link at the end of the game. Endlessly fascinating stuff.

You sound triggered. Take a break.

No. The biggest mainstream players in social media are all already aligned with the current administration. Meta et al. would be the ones to be available for free, and alternatives will be paywalled.

Found it, thank you!

It’s part of the strategy – publicly condemn people as being the type of person that is easy to hate so that there is support for the punishment.

If he started disappearing people without giving any reason, his supporters would be more likely to take note of that and question him. “Violent criminals and terrorists” on the other hand, that the people can get behind, apparently without question.
