jesus

currently i’m doing bandcamp and tidal for my two most least evil options

damn straight. fuck our fascist class. don’t capitulate

lemmy lacks all sense of nuance

for sure. that’s like… kind of a genuine challenge with looking for and understanding antisemitism is that how it presents itself changes through the eras. but in our current age, i think people are more likely to associate pigs with capitalism and anti-jewishness than with jews. like. i think it’s important and good that we’re having these conversations so we can understand the current status of anti semitism especially as israeli backed organizations water down these things by applying the term antisemitism to too many things.

and as you say, there’s a major aspect of regionality. antisemitism looks different depending on the place

we’re, as an entire cohort of people, very stupid by design

stevia isn’t

yup! if you understand school lunchroom dynamics or navigating a rough neighborhood, you know everything there is to know about geopolitics

it’s more common to portray jews as rats. like i get where you’re coming from, but i think they picked what they picked to avoid the antisemitic dog whistle. that’s just my read though as a dude with curly hair, a big nose, and sensitivity to “is this person hating me for my jewish ancestry”

capitalist pigs

“it’s not a genocide, it’s a war” - some tankie

oh i know. there was something about the phrasing though that was a little too meme-y and unserious. but it was still like… shit. this still might be what they really think. let’s check

in academic spheres bolshevism and neoliberalism are viewed as being expressions of fascism, sometimes called “ur-fascism” to distinguish eternal fascism from what you’re specifying as fascism (sometimes also called “hyperfascism”)

okay. his background in CS remains a couple of classes before dropping out. i graduated from college around when he would have and this was every fucking CS major their freshman year. he talks about programming the same way every revolutionary code messiah who had coded some mildly impressive utilities does before they spend time studying the theory behind computation and learn what the real limitations of these things are. but VCs love the code messiahs. hence SVB going bankrupt. none of these dudes are as smart as they’ve convinced the rest of the world they are

compliance remains unacceptable

i figured it was but everyone responded so serious i thought i must be missing something lol. glad i trusted my gut and asked

this is a joke right? please tell me this is a joke

everything is always new to someone and it’s important right now. people are still building their boycott muscles

idk it’s pretty reflective of the octogenarians around me. it just resonates. this valley has been fucked over by our colonial society like clockwork and people are sick of this shit. the retirees especially find this admin offensive because they’re watching all the hard work they did to make sure their grandchildren didn’t have to fight to the death for their basic dignities the way their parents did get undone.

i don’t think this meme comes from not being familiar with work. i think it comes from knowing exactly how fucking hard work is and how much is being stolen from us right now
