Its my crack I can’t stop coming back to all while hating every second of it

The diverse crowd are usually pretty wary and reserved these days when it comes to interacting with white men. Can’t blame them, but its not as easy to make friends as say “hi”, because you have to prove first you are not one of “those” white men.

And I am more radical than most, I am pro positive discrimination (like 55% of government should be women, even if people want to elect men), subsidized gender affirmative care, open borders with no checks, drugs decriminalization etc whatever.

But I do also hate virtue signaling and being performative male who can’t shut up how he hates patriarchy to get laid. And fortunately or not, no one ever knows if I privately donated money to RAINN.

Paradoxically even this comment by me is virtue signalling, oh well.

So, we are basically in a stalemate where I am asked to perform and I don’t like doing that, thus we are both at arms length, although technically I would considered myself an ally.

Yeah, especially with white guys over specific age threshold.

I am not even surprised anymore when I find out yet another middle aged or elderly white cis hetero male I know IRL voted for Trump.

I do feel second hand embarrassment though listening to their neoconservative mental gymnastics, how despite Oval Office ambush on Zelensky and red carpet for Putin, Trump is actually secretly plotting to flood Ukraine with weapons, embargo Russian oil and overthrow Putin: “very soon, right now, definitively, this time for real, no, I know what kind of person Trump is, he wouldn’t betray Ukraine, he can’t, its some misunderstanding”

Neocon copium is crazy.

Oh and half of them are immigrants from Europe with US citizenship, who think ICE surely wouldn’t eat THEIR face. Which makes it even more pathetic.

If you promise to dismantle Adobe you will have secured another vote xD

“Why can’t we have some people from Norway, Sweden, or Denmark? We always take people from Somalia, places that are filthy, dirty, and disgusting”

AFAIK Firefox forks aren’t too different from Firefox feature-wise. It’s hard to make substantive changes to Firefox, so most forks like Librewolf or Waterfox slightly change default settings and extensions, but not sidebars and other cosmetics.

So unfortunately, there is probably no Firefox browser that would have Vivaldi’s features.

Maybe you could try uBlock Origin Lite? It’s Manifest v3 compliant, and I don’t remember having any issues with YouTube shorts using it. I use it on “optimal” filtering mode

It’s worse than average person. I don’t even see tech-savy friends use adblockers nowadays. No idea why, I never asked.

And I feel like majority of people don’t even know browser extensions exist, and those who do think it’s all shady and malware, so they avoid those like plague.

I am baffled someone actually didn’t understand when a far-right white male politician says “illegals” they’ve always meant “people of color”

Mfers the real deadline was 20 years ago, we already irreversibly fucked up wild bees and many forests, you don’t get to delay it anymore. In fact, be grateful deadline is not “tomorrow or go broke” (as it should be)

Uh, it’s like comparing the best life you could have in Western Europe with the worst life you could have in American suburbs.

It’s no different from comparing an American surgeon earning 400k yearly in Manhattan to a person surviving in Belarus or Albania. Same bias but flipped in opposite direction.

Both comparisons would be unfair.

I am not saying life is worse in the EU than in the US, but there are many better ways to argue that more logically using data.

Ethanol neutral by 2050! Now that’s the slogan to rally around

We can all agree it’s immoral, but it’s also just plain stupidity.

Even if you are white supremacist “kill all people of color”, you still need a professional military that’s not wasting time massacring civilians and creating PR disasters daily, if you hope to win any wars at all.

Also “their place in history is settled”: sorry to ruin your day but that’s not how collective processing of historical trauma works, nor history as a science.

I find this upsetting because of “this decision is final, this is settled”.

He is presenting himself as way more significant than he is, either because of complete lack of self-awareness, or preemptive defensiveness against inevitable criticism he can’t handle, or overcompensating for inability to cope they are on the losing side.

Neither has any semblance of EQ, emotional maturity or humility. These aren’t the kinds of people who would rule in a fair, meritocratic system.

That’s unfortunate, yet not a separate issue from animal farming. They are interconnected, and we can’t fix one without fixing the other.

To get to the point where society pressures ruling class to ban airplanes despite best lobbying efforts, we need to shift the Overton window.

Right now, the Overton window is rather conservative, with most people considering any climate action that requires slightest drop in quality of life completely unacceptable.

Every successful radical climate action, including veganism, helps normalize idea of nature preservation over convenience in public consciousness, so movement can eventually take on more entrenched capital protected interests like jets.
