@h4890 that's not the point though. normal people are labeled nazis while real nazi military battalions are regarded as heroic by the same people. politics lost any credibility they still had. we have as much propaganda, only for other reasons. we also started senseless wars. everything is bullshit, everywhere.

@NimisCogitat@mastodon.social yeah, it's a bleak look on things but probably right.

i think _if_ someone wants to take action it has to be clandestine "direct action" though that has even more risk than demonstrations.

demonstrations are tolerated only if they are in line with the un-official goals anyway. note that imho the difference between now and e.g. the huge demonstrations in the 60s or even 80s is that we are under complete surveillance now. your phone is be tracked, you will be on cctv, etc. you can't hide in the masses because of facial recognition.

dystopia is now.

@thor i actually had a job in my youth were i one day folded ~50 poster size printouts and put them into envelopes. now i'm developer. the horseshoe theory is real!

the age of demonstrations is over.

nobody in power gives jack shit about it, be it rainbows in russia or honking in canada. demonstrations against covid fuckery were nearly verboten in germany. it was ok that 100k demonstrate against war in ukraine though, the hygiene rules didn't matter anymore all of a sudden.

the only thing which will happen if you are in a demonstration (against stuff the "elected" determine, in their infinite wisdom, as truth) is that you'll get fucked short term by beatings and fines and long term because you will be registered as contrarian (yes those registers are probably illegal, but nobody gives a shit about that either).

lay low, be sand in the gears. game the government wherever you can. pull out as many resources as you can, while generating as few taxes as possible. try to be more self sufficient. good luck.

@frederic@mastodon.bayern windows 2000 war das beste windows, mmn. wie bei NT war "business" die zielgruppe. alles ziemlich no-bullshit :)

@thor idk, there are good takes from the edgy names _and_ they usually don't block me for wrongthink. at least they don't tend to declare me "part of the problem" and block me ;)

@thor good clean fun! CORNHOLIO!

@thor
i think the offensive names are rather a filter for "people who value their own principles more than exchange of thought". NPC might be a better name than normie in the end.
