I agree with the sentiment against kidnapping heads of state, however, Maduro was a horrible dictator inducing pain and despair to Venezuela to the point where most Venezuelans chose to leave their own country over staying there.

It’s ridiculous and socialist and communist supporting this criminal are just further eroding the advancement of socialism in the USA. Like sometimes you gotta learn to read the room.

Venezuelans would not be escaping the country if Maduro would have been such an exemplary leader, instead he just paid lip service to democracy while consolidating power and exploiting the people and robbing the country. him and Cabello have done irreparable damage to Venezuela.

Not that the fascist Trump and Rubio should have kidnapped them as it was the duty of Venezuelans to dispose of this corrupt sack of crap, however, sympathizing with this criminal is delusional and hurts any and all groups trying to bring socialism or social democracy or similar ideologies to the USA and actually being adopted. These people will be the ammunition from fascist about crazy leftist supporters of criminals …

Well it was a typo but I’d believe that with the knowledge we have of Epstein perhaps most wasteful plane travel is indeed rape transportation…

Planes offer transportation that is unmatched by other means. Also most humans don’t travel by plane and the one who do are not regular flyers as in every day or every week like rape transportation. There are very few people in the pamner wh ok travel by plane all the time. Maybe those people should reconsider their choices as commercial airlines have democratized to a degree the ability for the masses to travel instead of just being a luxury just for the rich and ultra rich. The Elons of the world should definitely travel less by plane or plain out disappear from society but long distance travel by plane I think is a marvelous thing of the modern era and their impact on pollution is minor in comparison to cars. Maybe r restricting plane travel to big planes moving lots of people over hundred or thousands of small plains with few people aboard that coud have taken a regular transportation plane

Well at least open source coding makes it so this is easier to spot and the community can choose better going forward. The beauty of descentralized social media

This book is very well written but I disagreed completely with the premise. I believe is true that we don’t choose to be born. We’re forced into existence kicking and screaming but that’s the nature of being. We are born we grow up we procreate and then we die. Some of us don’t procreate by choice but I feel the desire to have offspring is innate to being alive. Some people and beings have a stronger desiree than others, and there’s nothing wrong on following through and cires related to the suffering we impar into our offspring is not reason not to do it. Just like children’s role is not to take care of their parents when they’re old. All things considered, this is quite a philosophical debate.

This book is so beautiful and sad. Everyone should read it

I’m starting to believe JD isn’t a true believer of his religion 🤡

I’m not anti democracy I just think a version of this ideals already showed up in that society with Sankara and he got murdered. I think the forces of democracy actually end up backfiring and the victims become anti democratic given the violent way they’re “democratized” also France has taken advantage of Burkina Faso for so many years by imposing the euro to their economy at fixed rates, and robbing their gold. At this point, they have tried the western ways, and the only thing that’s truly stupid is trying something twice that you know doesn’t work for you.

The guardian is a Western source allied with France view of the world. To truly understand what he said we’d need to be living in a context where western ideals aren’t a given. The history of this country is just suffering no matter what. He may be worse than the colonist but it’s their right to govern themselves as they see fit. Democracy can also bring you fascists who have no care for the population as we are all experiencing.

I love kagi and I’m questioning if my level of commitment is to renew for another year and year after that. I find pricey but worth it. The Internet is better without ads being pushed down your throat. The only thing that’d make it perfect is having map service to Google level. Open street maps is not there yet but is a fun time mapping my surroundings, however the level of usefulness of Google maps is still unmatched for me. Otherwise, Kagi has been amazing and I recommend them, I hope they trigger true competition in the search markets because when the search engines work for ads instead of people the Internet is so much worse

I was recently in Auckland and loved the gayborhood there

Hope people really take over the streets everywhere. What this clown has done to the country is irreparable damage in the short to medium term. The world will keep turning but the US won’t be leading it any longer. For all the fear mongering China may as well take the lead from now on. At least those authoritarians bordering dictators have improved China unlike our corporate overlords on this side of the Pacific.

The UK is winning some and losing others, prosecute pedophiles but also creating a police state in the island. The surveillance level there rivals China. The internet is less free every passing year that we allow illiterate politicians decide for the people. The complete disregard of our privacy just because they don’t understand the nature of the internet or technology is astonishing, at best, and that’s giving them the benefit of the doubt that this is not plain out government overreach on the private citizens lives.

These young people think that being conservative is forward looking and rebellious…they’re so so wrong. Sadly they’ll be the ones creating the policies for the foreseeable future, and their dumb choices will hunt those of us that still have a quite a bit of time in planet earth. Idiocracy wasn’t a movie but a documentary.

I think I agree with you. I usually select the text to do an action and the choices are useful. I don’t select for the better reading, if anything it’s just to highlight the text.

I hope this keeps growing. I’m loving it here, and the fediverse idea is amazing. I hope we succeed and descentralize social media. Power to the people again

Well and here we are! I don’t even know if peeble and doop are real places online or she just made it up to make a point 😆
