Sometimes it is necessary for the long term good of humanity. Saying 'we can't use authoritarianism to beat authoritarians' is the logic that got the nazis in power in Germany. The nazis should have been crushed early on, but instead liberals just kept appeasing them.

Democrats lost because they didn't embrace populist rhetoric.

If they just ran someone like Bernie they could have won. People are tired of the status quo and they thought Trump would be a way out of it. All democrats run on is "we'll keep things the same".

I used to be a person that believed very strongly in freedom of speech and that anything which was categorized as a philosophy or belief shouldn't be censored.

However, after seeing how hard fascism has taken hold in America, I'm beginning to change my mind.

Cyberpunk Dice Rolling Map Generator (lemmy.world)

I originally made this mostly as a GM aid for those playing RPGs like Cyberpunk Red. The idea is to have a normal map generator using dice (pretty common), but have the districts be decided by their major landmark. Having a unique landmark be the central focus will allow for each district to have it's own unique feel to it as well as acting as a possible important story beat.

If connecting 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 results in districts that are too big, feel free to just connect the same numbers, or shuffle the numbers around so they are less likely to touch each other.

Also, feel free to substitute any of the landmark numbers with your own ideas, or expand the table yourself.

The people don't want any more of the status quo, and Trump offered something that wasn't part of the status quo. The democrats could have offered a left-wing populist alternative but instead the democrats ran someone who was status quo. Someone who was "far left" would have been way more successful than Harris.

That's just what they want you to do. It's much better to take this opportunity to fight the fascists.

If they want to make it illegal to be homeless then they should have to give us houses

Trump floats ending the federal income tax. Here’s what that would mean in c/[email protected]

It means he's an idiot who wants to convince other idiots that this will mean less taxes for them, while it just means that poor people will be taking up the tax burden while the rich get away without paying anything.

The absolute state of online housing discourse in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Literally everyone agrees that more housing should be built and it shouldn't be too hard to do so (just don't sacrifice safety standards). However, simply building more housing isn't enough. A lot of the housing built nowadays are built for the rich while there aren't many small starter-homes being built. We need to do so much more than just building more homes, or else we risk the rich just buying them all up again.

They're pushing AI so hard but most people just see it as a gimmicky thing. The only people who care are the investors.
