@Hyolobrika If you advertise "pea stories", you might get unexpected listeners

@PippiPunkstrumpf Geschenke!

@PippiPunkstrumpf Was einem auf den Kopf fällt ist geschenkt 👆
(Also weiterhin vorsicht vor Vögeln)

@Hyolobrika Yup, if there is no additional problem, those documents should be public. Just saying i can't have a strong opinion on this specifically with so little detail info.

@Hyolobrika I did watch it, this time. But it's just one perspective.
Since it's the US, i could imagine violence against schools just for respecting pronouns as something that happens in parallel and makes it more complicated, for example.

@Hyolobrika Any examples? Didn't see anyone on here not celebrate that term.

@Hyolobrika @ultradane Hmm... parents spamming requests to make gender neutral language impossible, as a denial of service?
A school board acting wrong?

Not enough information.

@twizzay Wait, i just realized if she was looking over your shoulder, she probably didn't find the entertainment program there all too interesting.

Can we sing the "lip service" song next?

@twizzay Ah, you have grammar in church. That's good, i thought church was totally lawless!

@Hyolobrika Welcome to the resistance!

@PippiPunkstrumpf Tja, die Leut gehn los und verteilen den Scheiss, aber kucken einen komisch an, wenn man im Supermarkt etc. ne Maske anzieht.

Vielleicht sollte lieber das Pferd in die Schule? Größerer Kopf und so...

@Hyolobrika "Human behaviour", i would say.

@Hyolobrika@social.fbxl.net To one, it is a guess based on circumstances (transphobia exists) and the way they talk. Sounds very strongly like overcompensating for a former feeling of helplessness.

To two, i see no hints of organization. If you set the bar that low, you'll miss actual dangers because it would be a 24/7 job to even find all the toots like this. Missing the forest for the trees.

@Hyolobrika If someone would blab around hurting people, it might spark violence. If anyone organized a movement for nefarious purposes, that would be a problem.
But here, all i see is people that have probably suffered some kind of sleights overcompensating. Seems benign enough.

@Hyolobrika Hope you can direct your attention towards more deserving topics, since there is no hint this will have any effect that needs stopping.

@Hyolobrika Any reason you take this personally? Lots of people blab around, not a good use of your time if there is no personal connection.

@twizzay Sounds good!

@Hyolobrika @meso The "they can do that anyway" part applies to those, too. Either there is democratic control preventing those or it's more of a "how fast" than an "if".
If companies can withstand state mandated spying, censorship and propaganda, you're in shadow run territory and have a completely different problem.

@Hyolobrika @meso It hinges upon how distributed it is.

If all power in the private sector is in the hands of one person or a small group of people, this is the problem we currently see. This small group can heavily influence politics up to the point where it's an oligarchy.

If we take Hyo's previous "workers own where they work", we should get a pretty good distribution of power, such that a democracy can work. Also the people that have a say in something are actually competent in the matter. Also they will likely suffer the consequences of externalizing problems (dumping waste), which should serve to discipline them.

If we would go with "who is influenced", it becomes complicated. Any company that has an environmental impact influences everyone. I see no clear line that could be argued to prevent an oligarchy, so i think this will lead to scenario one.

If many people are shareholders, as you say, i think this is an unstable state that will devolve to scenario one, as it happened, at least if it is not prevented (monopoly control should also prevent monopolies in shares, i guess).

Parallel to that i think democracy also declines if more critical infrastructure is private owned, like internet access, water, energy. I do see the spying problem with internet in the public hand, but they can create a totalitarian state without owning the access companys anyway.

@TruthSandwich @light Maybe there is a reason, but it is not of any concern to me. I have no expectations of these individuals improving anything relevant, so they can be wrong in this or that way, i don't care.

If bernie sanders was not what i think he is from the news coverage, it matters little. As far as i understand he once won the primaries but was undemocratically not made presidential candidate. So if your system is that broken, there is no hope anything withing the system will stop the humanity wide suicidal actions (fossil fuel, wasting energy, etc.).

I get the idea you are discussing matters that are already closed for me for different reasons.
