@renardboy No, that is not true. The nazi gouvernment kills a lot of people and spreads suffering.
The vehicle shown just jostles the riders balls ^^
@CorvidCrone That is, as i expected, very interesting. Thank you for sharing it!
So the US is large, and an additional dimension to the all-encompassing oppression is present, like a double take on lack of agency, the people are experiencing the oppression as a foreign thing, even if it is domestic. It is both harder to act and a thing that is more easy to hate.
It's funny how i learn new things but am still unable to turn things for the better ^^
Thanks for the inspiration, anyways!
@CorvidCrone Many nice people have responded to my initial call, but it is absurd how your answers fit to what i wanted to know.
Humanity could be pretty nice, if we could take the time to sync all this chatter, instead of saying it once.
I got a feel about you, that you put value on hashing out what something means, that you would discuss further instead of just dismissing it. I think most people would, given the time. It feels nice you do, even if time is short.
@CorvidCrone Do you still have that off topic text? I'd like to read it, if possible.
On the non-off-topic text you wrote, it is so perfectly hitting what i think that the oruborous circling is swelling to a cacophony of ever the same, but with a note of "not alone". Thank you for that.
Can't let people go on destroying themselves, can't stop them without being a cop. Much more time would be needed to talk it out, but the circle goes on, regardless of our needs. I'm happy to not be alone in this perception, thank you.
@vriska So did you insure the car as lesbian or did you take one of the non-gendered options?
Obviously important to have gender-sensitive insurance, or one might get a boner as a settlement but want a flickable bean instead.
@VeroniqueB99 It is good, because it has potatoes. The rest will be grown over by potatoes, give it time.

Every sufficiently large group will include assholes.

@the_etrain But are you actually sure someone is wrong on the internet, or are you just evading?
@Jeber
Sorry, i guess i was not clear...
I joked about you actually paying when you board a plane and give your personal data.
The studio ghibly thing was that in spirited away, the witch imprisoned people by taking away their names. I used that as a metaphor for taking peoples personal data because, you know, if people say a lot about you (and it might be wrong), you start questioning yourself.
@OpenComputeDesign There is a positive example. I was on vacation in france, and people did drive pretty well there.
@CorvidCrone I guess the real question is agency.
No one Oligarch/Rich asshole could stop all this, but we, as non-rich assholes, can do very little. We can't even fail like one of the wannabe dictators, we would not have a fart of an impact.
I guess that is what drives me, how absurdly improbable it is that a club of wankers can create a world where working together is so improbable, we don't even see the light of day?
@VeroniqueB99 Monty python would be proud
@Jeber
Are you purposefully omitting that you would be paying?
Studio ghibly would say that you are giving up your name, right?
@admitsWrongIfProven yes and no.
Human beings do not like change in general, and we are highly adaptable. Which means, our species can get used to horrible abuses if they are added slowly enough for long enough.
The energy needed to bust through that inertia is really hard to summon when your energy is already being sucked out by the way modern life is organized. Getting a bunch of people to all summon this energy at the same time and agree on how to use it is even harder. However, because we are a social species, it's easier for us to summon the energy needed if others are doing it too.
I think what you're feeling is the collective realization that we need radical change, and the collective mourning of life we were taught to expect for ourselves. As my wife said the other day, "fuck, I don't wanna have to be a guerilla fighter in my forties "

This was great, helped me with my perspective.

@CorvidCrone I really appreciate both that you immediately understood what i was asking and that you let me down softly, explaining that what i am asking is not all that relevant.
It is not "this problem or that", it is more like "the culmination of those problems exerts a pressure, and identifying which is stronger will not relieve us of that pressure", right?
@theropologist Dada. As a beetle, i feel ya.
@AppleFanboy Ooooh fuck. I wish you a swift recovery and a very nice "fuck you people, i'm working remote/wearing a mask".
I speak german and english.

If i reply but did not favourite your toot: most likely i forgot. I get caught up in talking, i forget.
I generally invite questions. If you look for a clue if it is ok to ask hard questions: this is it. As long as it is in good faith and you want to know wtf i was thinking, go ahead please.
