Yes and no. 1.4k? Out of hundreds of millions of online users. Literal raindrop in an ocean.
It means there’s still too many people supporting the same corporations willing to manipulate them through stealth advertising, data harvesting/selling, and misinformation.
It means that there’s still not enough people who care about privacy.
It means that there’s still a lot of educational work to do in society.
I did, and you’re full of shit.
It’s not just the salute that shows this being the case (which is extremely obvious and intentional, again just by watching the video). It’s the history of anti-union practices, the history of lying and being caught lying, the history of supporting far-right movements. Over time this seems to form what’s called a “pattern”.
You’re literally sleep-walking through life or intentionally trying to mislead the conversation.
On another note though, 9 hours, 1k upvotes, 300 comments. It’s a shame more people don’t migrate away from Reddit, which is just as bad as all these other social media platforms currently courting the U.S. administration.
How do we encourage more people to join a Lemmy?
Let’s see the videos side by side and vote on which one is the closest to a nazi salute / gesture.
Or go shill your propaganda somewhere else, maybe with the rest of the nazi sympathizers.
Nothing will be done because nobody can hold this cabal of the world’s wealthiest men accountable.
It’s not just the U.S. that’s going to suffer here either. This cabal is in charge of one of the worlds largest militaries.
Glad you’re above it all though, best of luck.
I don’t know, this reads like a CIA document. I’m not signing a pledge to activism (that’s literally in the doc btw).
FR though there’s some good stuff in here lol
I think this kind of thing might work in a civil society, and let’s hope we stay in a civil society, but once the boots start hitting the ground, once onlookers start saluting back, peaceful protests won’t work.
Stay vigilant o7
I don’t know, wait for leadership to arrive.
Keep speaking out, speaking up, and pointing out that it’s really us workers against the billionaire corporation class.
Bring people together, IRL, and have actual conversations. Apes really are strong together, it’s not a meme, it’s real life.
This really is how fascists rise to power.
The liberal minded can’t find the leadership to organize change. Maybe too many people are too comfortable, but it seems to me a lack of a strong message and organization. A lack of left-leaning, anti-corporation, for the people kind of leadership.
Why are they running a memecoin scam, and nobody is regulating that for a sitting U.S. president?
If you still have your Amazon Prime subscription, Facebook Account, Twitter Account. The literal, very least you could do, is not support the companies of these literal Billionaires, with a capital B.
We need to bring back community, actual in person communities. Supporting local businesses and bring people together for discussions and socializing. As a society, we are too disconnected. It’s too easy to just throw a comment online (what I’m doing now) and move on. Actual change comes from society, and as a society we need to make change together.
Real talk.
The richest men on the planet Earth are surrounding and and giving gifts/favors to a man who holds the highest position in a World Superpower with one of the largest militaries on the planet.
What can we realistically do to fight a possible incoming Nazi regime?
We’re gonna be ethnically cleansed by old, poorly dressed, unatheltic losers 😭
Specifically because they have accumulated so much wealth that they can pay people to do terrible things in seemingly unterrible ways.
Eh, Jellyfin is just a storage. I mostly use it to link up to Symphonium.
Need For Speed isn’t on GoG yet.
Same, but i’d still love for a way to nicely download these games across my network. Like, I have the folders in my NAS with the setup files, I just need an interface that will install them like a regular installer would.
Sure is going to be more difficult to make progressive change in a fascist state. I’ve no doubt conservatives are going to be more open to change than their counterparts, but something tells me that those changes aren’t going to be anywhere near progressive.
Yeah, I do blame the voters who sat this election out or voted 3rd party. Absolute ignorance in the face of factual, tangible datapoints.
“Oh, the democrats should have campaigned harder! Oh, they should have been more progressive!” while conservatives just consistently lie through their teeth, skirt the law, and prey on the weak and ill-informed. While conservatives are open-faced about their regressive policies.
Change takes time, but yeah, let’s sit this one out. Real progressive. Nothing like watching the trolly going toward the wrong side of the track and saying “Oh, not my problem, I didn’t touch the lever! Whatever happens, it’s not my fault because I did nothing to help or hurt the situation! My hands are clean!”
I don’t know, y’all can point fingers in every direction, but the fact is - those voters who didn’t show up to vote, voted 3rd party, or voted Republican knew who Trump is and what the outcome would be. Project 2025 was laid out in full right in front of us. We all saw his previous 4 years in office. We saw the repeal of Roe with a majority court. These (potential) voters just don’t care about progress or people and want to speed up the burning of Rome. US Presidential elections have been binary in everyone’s lifetime here.
There’s no excuse other than simply “I don’t care” regardless of which excuse you want to pick from the box. The House, Senate, and Supreme Court are all lost - they have absolute free reign to do whatever they want in the next 4 years. The best case scenario is that it’s not as bad as last time. The worst case scenario is the US becomes reclusive, regressive, and more corrupt akin to other dictator run countries. Just like those other dictator run countries, in the worst case scenario, there will be no revolution if/when things go “too far” because they hold the power and have the support to stomp down any opposition to dust.
It’s certainly a sad state of affairs, and in no sane world should DJT have won a 2nd term, but here we are, watching the circus erect their tents while we whisper in the stands.
Jellyfin: Streaming works fine, but it doesn’t recognize individual artists (my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled).
Yeah, but like MusicBrains and AudioDB plugins. It should scan through and try to match the metadata to better organize your files.
Then for mobile you can connect to the Symfonium app.
IMO it’s a logistics problem.
The wealthy own the Internet. 7/10 of the top websites on the entire Internet are owned by the same people at Trump’s inauguration. The interest is no regulation so that they can keep pouring money into marketing tactics, ethical and unethical, for engagement. The bottom line is wealth, power, control.
Their websites are visited by Billions, daily. They control the narrative. That doesn’t even get into news networks.
Education has been eroded for close to a century now.
Technology has grown far faster than we can keep up with.
AI is going to make information control, data gathering, and data compiling faster/easier.
How do you fight a beast this big? How can any other party get their message and their narrative out to the masses on par with the wealthy? How do you convince the ignorant of harmful things that they can neither believe nor fathom?
I truly have little hope for non-dystopian future.
