@livinghell I don't follow.

The general criteria if something is violence is if that thing will do harm.

So if the person is persecuted is relevant, but since i do not know the context i cannot parse this.

General, country/culture agnostic interpretation would be:
If violence is generally accepted towards a group, words are violence since they are the lynchpin to start physical violence or at least induce the state of "i will be attacked", for good reason, in the victim.

Now fascism does this by selecting an outgroup and encouraging violence against that group. Like jews in nazi germany, or muslims in more modern settings.

The US, as far as i understand, is (apart from being a land owner centric country) especially racist against black people, from africa originally and against their will. The ones they abducted, they hate for reminding them of their never cleaned up past. Also, they have american exceptionalism, which is general fascism, so there is a race agnostic fascist component, but it is focussed on criticism - does not apply if someone is uninvolved.

Ok, let me try again (exhausted because of myself, not you):
Is the violence you talk about against far-back african people or people that criticize the US?

@catsalad As an absolute machine that will become fries once i slice right, i am concerned. Will this kitty like fries?

@livinghell I wonder what they do to the male abductees, i mean most of the ICE guys are probably closeted?

@livinghell Oh, like our "conservative" and "socialist" parties in germany.

@echo_pbreyer Das ist so absurd.. DNT verpflichtend, während Orwell 2025 (Chatkontrolle) unterwegs ist.

@livinghell You can say it is US or that it is fascist?

Ok, i see the problem here. Is it specific to the US or is it generally fascist is what i am asking.

@trickykat Do you require all to post good?

If so i can say you never will, because i never will :-P

@livinghell Very true, but i wonder if that first part is a bit us-centric? Or is the idea that words are violence, in the sense of putting down people that suffer systemic or physical violence more of a general fascist strategy?

Actual question here.

Lol, my gf had a lot about lost boys lately, and i realize i am acting a lot like that. Just without approaching anyone specifically, just general being lost into the void (i hope?)

And now that i said that, it feels like it is a general human feeling, just skewed in gender stereotypes in terms of who expresses and who suppresses.

Being lost is normal, ok, but some having to bear more than half on the burden is shit?

@VeroniqueB99 They do. You just have to watch the news, not the history books. (news shown abroad, no idea about inside fascism)

@GossiTheDog You know, we are lacking communality here. If you were my neighbor, i would lovingly think about what would be an ethical necessity.

I just thought "Ok, i can't be cool, i can only be mean" and i think that says a lot about society in general.

Because i absolutely do not think that.

@VeroniqueB99 Ok, the Excel is just trauma, but what is going on with word and powerpoint there?

@Stoned_Deva_ Selfish request: could you link some?

Feeling bored, fair use and all...

@the_etrain Wait, you did that yourself?
Dude, let me introduce you to capitalism. You can be punched in the dick ALL THE TIME, at no additional cost!

@rootcompute Whoa, i can't imagine why i overlooked that the first time i saw this.

Wasn't "dumbstruck" an AC/DC song? Is "Labubu" about aging guys that are not evil but also not helping?

@catsalad I mean, absolutely. Still banging on this mechanical keyboard that is no longer being sold, unsure what to do if my kink board ceases to be.

The next version has absurd lights, fuck them light fuckers. I want my romantically sensitive touch-piece. Touching it is all that matters, you know?

@mcc What is the problem? You just need to go crazy and catatonic, which is clearly the purpose. Never seen such a simple switch-and-bait (because capchas don't work on your inputs but data collection)
