#Trump #Question

How do you stop #abuse of the #military in general ? ❓

If #Trump is pointing US Military wherever he wants to kill - is that same for domestic use ?

"... George Lakoff is an authority on the #nature and #power of

#frames – the worldviews that we activate...

..the #words and #metaphors we choose. As he has documented over

many decades, we are unlikely to win a #debate if we try to do

so while still using our opponent’s #frames.

The title of his book, Don’t Think of an Elephant, makes this

very point because it immediately makes you think of a you know

what."

💿 #WindowsXP was released on October 25th, 2001

!📅 Happy 24th #Anniversary to Windows XP! 🎈

💾 #Picture #collage for the many #retro #nostalgia pictures inside it!

🎈 And to those still running old Windows #XP - you did well all these years (and #Win7 is still ok I promise!)

Love or hate it - it simply worked for it's time (even when it didn't) and works still now despite other things "a bit better" #Linux #Ubuntu #Mint #LinuxMint.

Still as an old grandma you'd take the Windows XP #CD or #Windows7 CD to install on your own today and nothing else as that #simple!

Jitsi WITHOUT google account exists - you can start a chat room without any conditions - e.g.

Forget the original jitsi instance or those that need google accounts or to create an account to get in to open source software !

<3 #FreeSchool via Jitsi <3

You can also make your own #instance for others to use in under 1 or 2mins literally! Just configure the instance differently to the main #Jitsi instance (which is now too restrictive needing google etc account)

#Jitsi still is and can be instant with no account for Audio / Video Chats / screen sharing etc! Also has break-out rooms now like #Zoom

#Matrix is also so bloat and really too many steps for basic chat + account needed - compared to 2 clicks in a browser LOL
*literally* a minute including loading the link !

https://jitsi.freifunk-duesseldorf.de/thischat

Jitsi ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 5 Star (speed / safe-enough #privacy)

Jitsi = no messing - no installing software / all browsers / platforms (32bit or 64bit)!

My other post here: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/115368435157723847

#Fascism and calling people #Fascist are the new trendy trend and stimulating people...

(Serious post / WORK IN PROGRESS)

And it's fine until everyone looses track of what it is and what they are doing using it too quickly in a rather crude and time-wasting way theat encourages more people to do the same... even to avoid doing the hard work of using #positives loving people just a,,, little... bit... more...?

That's it for short version.... below is extra.

Just calling people names again.
#NameCalling / #Haters as a #lifestyle.

And a kind of #moral #porn or confirmation #bias (if I have it right). People want to see more #fascism and point and prod at anything #fascistic - probably from no other better way and not learning how to do something better to prevent these things...It's too clever / high bar to do tht (I admit not easy at all).

Almost like going on a Trump hashtag to check out the latest bad stuff....

Is that you?

Example to show how I'm serious and how serious it is via examples:

BEFORE people got off TV because of all the crap
Internet downloads was see as better to choose some content.

AFTER / Now Internet is worse than TV (it's InternetTV) tracking you, internet-fed adverts, data mining, streaming quality = MASSIVE DATA waste, companies gaining profile on you etc)

➡️ WE DIDN'T SEE THE CHANGE OR SEE THIS LIST ENOUGH
(Not saying it's all bad but over time we maybe don't see it as clearly to becoming fascist ourselves from what we use, who is behind it or what we think is ok! ). We just kept ignoring or clicking ok without reading...

Back to main point:

Now people are calling other fascist or in group others really quickly as fascist when it can be just how they feel someone or something is ignoring things (especially if they don't like it).

I don't mean those fascists that self-identify (at least they are honest) but those that aren't really hierarchical governmental types but people #hammer them (and themselves) as it turns towards themselves...

A bit like calling people a terrorist and it's just for hitting their dog (bad example but terrorist is totally different)

#Left or #Leftism (I have to be careful also) seem TOO EAGER to label and they are often a bit #clueless themselves...

Another example - sayign "spam" for things that are not really:

Calling things #spam when they are not (people don't understand what spam is and calling someone messaging them sincerely with differing options "spam").

Sure some things how BOTH TRUTH's like it's a bit spammy but sincerely asking people to chat is not dishonest or trying to get their credit cards - but if you always assume or don't have ways to check people out - you end up with ALL PEOPLE DISTRUSTING PEOPLE without legitimate way to get themselves out of their own holes they end up digging or back against the wall when nobody is blocking them from getting out but themselves!

Stop looking at #Trump #Elon etc and start personally looking for more acknowledgment and co-creation from each other....

Start #Trust to grow more trust else you up with... [hey I'm not going to say it the first word of this post!]

see my hashtag on how to try a bit of trust...

@GryphonSK
I realise this response is not exactly for the picture in your post (which I agree with) but basically this post shows how WE are capitalists also... so even if I needed to make a more extreme example, the principles are all the same...

Basically we became #Capitalism (from born into over the generations)

We are #Capitalists most of us (enough of us) now we are born into over the generations and can make a #change - and do have a say EVEN IF it's just between #ourselves.

So as much as we hate it want to #kill it - this actually means killing ourselves - so better to think of reducing it WHILE testing new ways of #humanity....

But this isn't as easy an idea as kill capitalism or even the weak forms without again finding ways to support and even talk to each other #DAILY and know it will get us anywhere we like that way! (Nope!.... for some people it's capitalism and not them forgetting to do the #human work). #TOPTIPS *wink*

#FreeSchool

P.S
It's true Capitalists and ownership (Even of people by employment) is very pervasive and exist - but still we a mini-capitalist that could all do the similar ways, but for sharing or at least positive spreading. No more spreading #Trump and #Elon news please - you're doing #free work for them and not free stuff for us / me / yourself !

@reverend Great send me your Jitsi instance or DM - any time you like jump in now / today is best my side.
Thanks

@TheComfortableSpotPodcast We need people to AUDIBLY DEMONSTRATE THIS WITH THEM - as you are on point but nobody on Fediverse seem to be able to trust randoms or even people they know - so people need other to bring them together (still like school / nursery I'm sorry to say) . I've spent years trying to ask people on Fediverse...

So maybe you and I could try together - you're on point this what I'm replying to - and the rest of the points... can we do it together and invite people to talk?
