America won’t course-correct until it is forced to do so.

The political establishment is so totally insulated in a media bubble that there’s no way to reach them, internal pressures can be safely ignored. Only external pressure can change this country now.

Kirk’s shooter had some shell casings with what was originally a furry meme etched onto them, but that phrase had been co-opted by groypers and transvestigators and is more likely to be evidence that the shooter did it for the lulz than that they were furry.

The furry community is very tight-knit, if it was one of us then we’d have figured out who the shooter was before the cops did. The only connection here is that Republicans have been trying to make the existence of furries into another front in their culture war.

Seedboxes are cheap, you can rent one with Plex or Jellyfin and 1TB of storage space for like $7/mo.

Not just that, the in-game voice chat can live-transcribe spoken audio to the chat window.

That would have been my bet.

Meh, some two-bit hack talking head isn’t much of a distraction. It’d take a lot of luigis to distract from all the other the pedophiles in power.

Then go back to Reddit.

Point to a decentralized country.

You realize Apple is already the same way, right? You have to jailbreak them to install anything outside of the app store.

Dunno yet, but I’ve quit using better products than Android for smaller offenses than this. I’ll probably settle down to do some research tonight.

If you could get that crypto nonsense out of my Weird Guy tier and down with the Outcasts, then this would be more accurate. =3

I’m afraid I don’t see the connection between the assertion that progressivism requires conformity of thought and speech and the fall of the soviet union / the establishment of the neoliberal order.

It seems to me that, under that regime, there was actually very little pressure for progressives to conform to a single ideal, which resulted in the protests you’ve mentioned being peopled by groups that spanned the ideological gamut from liberal progressives to left-anarchists to literal communists.

And I don’t think that has changed now that neoliberalism is collapsing, the recent protests are still peopled by communists, anarchists, worker’s unions, independents, democrats and even the occasional disaffected republican. The umbrella that covers the term “Progressive” is only unified in their support for basic human rights and their desire for a more just and equitable society. There’s plenty of disagreement within that coalition and no mechanism to enforce conformity to any one way of being progressive.

Where, precisely, are you seeing the conformity you claim exists?

Since when?
