Every single time a gripe about privacy is brought up on Lemmy or some issue with iOS or Windows, Linux users come out of the woodwork. It is 100% political as privacy becomes more and more of a concern.
Everything is political. My poli sci teacher said it best: when you boil it down, politics in the most simplest terms is just getting things done.
Wow you are so right.
I told those Nazis that they don’t need to change their thinking or behavior against Jews. They just need to give equal rights to Jews.
You are so smart. Amazing take. It isn’t like taking those old guard gayz didn’t want people to change their thinking (i.e. thinking gay people are normal, socially acceptable, gay rights) or their behavior (lynching, killing, draconic laws, etc.). Totally right. The alphabet mafia nowadays are infringing on OUR RIGHT to think what we want and do what we want.
Maybe the confederacy had a point. Maybe the north was just so bad trying to force the south to change their thinking and their behavior. Your take is not reactionary at all.
Well that’s a fucking reference i don’t expect to see. It may be time to check those vids again unless they got taken down
I was going to ask as well. Doesn’t it like infringe on a law madd by California or the EU or some shit?
I am a bit impressed they were able to integrate the message in. I wouldn’t have thought an AI to be able to do this yet
These have to be AI generated right?
Yeah but have you ever considered America bad??
I don’t trust capitalists and I don’t trust Netflix. It is a safer bet they will cancel than continue this show after 3 seasons.
Is Elon Musk good or bad in their eyes then?
Memes help share ideas and they reflect the zeitgeist. You can see the pattern if you’re older and experienced the birth of internet memes and over time they became more depressing, surreal, and self deprecating, reflecting the current socio-economic situation of many. During 2020 - 2023, the memes were quite surreal and making commentary about one in a life time events happening many times, shits on fire, economic inequity and more. Millenials and zoomers are depressed they can’t afford a house.
Now imagine you are someone who has a masters degree and can’t find a decent paying job because the marking is fucked. You want to purchase a house and you just can’t. You now see a meme reflecting those ideas and you feel a form of solidarity. You get emboldened by those ideas.
I think, the current wave of unionization and striking partly contributed by these memes. They shared a spotlight on the inequities of the world and got people worked up. You can also see the “power” of the Dark Brandon memes, oh, and Donald fucking Trump became a serious candidate and elected because of memes.
