The Danes and Americans “agreed to disagree” according to report.

I have bias in saying this but I hold Europeans in higher regard than the Trump-appointed American officials when it comes to this. I mean, the Trump administration personifies the temper-throwing adolescent stage of USA as a country. Europe has a longer history to look back on.

Where are the freeze peach warriors when you need them?

Techno-feudalism, ladies and gentlemen.

Donald: Why are GenZ’s having time off and can do what they want for their mental health? Why can’t I take care of my mental health by taking Greenland?

Secret invisible walls in corners of games for me!

You may find that is the case but I think there is a gap with idealists on reconciling theory and empirical results.

Ruffalo’s got balls while other celebs are too afraid of speaking out and being accused as “woke”.

Right, if Greenland is on its own, armed patrols could deter nuclear armed US from invading! Even anarchists don’t realise we’re already living in an anarchy!

🤡🤡🤡🤡

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Except it’s definitely a chatspeak.

With mods, the M1911 I got from Joshua is my signature gun! It killed Legate Lanius in just a couple of shots!

How would there be guarantee that their neighbours won’t attack them? Even this is a problem for Chéran, hence why they have armed patrols. Heck, even practically speaking, we are already living in an anarchy. What are nation states if not self-organising society? Even with attempts of international cooperations through globalisation, that still failed because each countries’ cultures are too distinct from one another to create a mutual trust.

For ideal anarchism to work, there has to be a global cultural shift for humans to be like minded enough that mutual trust is built amongst each other not to attack or cheat each other. The only instance I have seen this work is in fiction in Dune, where the planet Arakkis is populated by Fremen and living in anarchist framework with their different tribes and little cultures, but overall identify themselves as Fremen and have solidarity against invaders. Although, that’s where their problem lies, outside the planet. Even utopian anarchism has to extend into universal scale.

The problem is the messaging. The old farts in the Democratic party don’t know how to use social media. And even old timers here in Lemmy don’t want to admit it, social media is the new frontline to win hearts and minds of voters. Not many people watch televisions these days or read newspapers, a lot of information are coming from social media.

Social media is part of the problem for misinformation, but even in the early days of the platform, it was used to organise authentic democratic grassroots protests from Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. Even Obama knew the importance of social media and he was called the first social media president for a reason. The younger generations leftist politicians are realising how adept the right has been with social media, and kudos to the likes of Mamdani for co-opting back the platform to organise for the left.

I mentioned it on a separate comment but the Mexican town of Chéran is a self-organising community where they keep regular patrols to keep the cartels out, after they kicked out their mayor for taking bribes from the cartel.

Reminds of the town of Chéran where they kicked out the cartels and their lackey politicians. The community is self-organising, elect their leader on a yearly basis, and protect themselves by having regular patrols. I don’t think anarchism will work on a large scale (or at the very least, there is no global culture yet to demand such set up), but Chéran is an ideal model for me for an anarchist society.

Putin invades Ukraine to distract the Russians from the worsening corruption and standard of living by rousing nationalism. While Trump invaded Venezuela and wants to do so with Greenland, because he wants to distract people from the fact he is a pedophile.

Leave it up to .ml to defend Putin!

I used to be free speech absolutist until we get to the conundrum as you presented. For me, free speech will never be settled and is a perpetual debate. I think what is considered hate speech is on a case by case basis. Like an individual human who is being tried on a court and his/her case is examined, what is considered harmful or free speech is kinda like that. We examine the minutae of the speech based on the context, semantics, syntax logic, reasoning etc. if the speech can be considered harmful or not. It’s a perpetual debate.

Well yeah, by its roots, conservatism is about not rocking the boat. Those who keep their mouths shut are not targetted. My mom kinda has that mindset of just following the authority no matter what. She would be more on the right if it weren’t for my father tempering her.
