It's a stance that leads to trans people killing themselves.

We need non profits who will monetize ethically just enough to sustain the operations. Particularly cooperatives. Social media doesn't need to be profitable. It just needs to exist and serve it's users.

I didn't realize lemmygrad was tolerating hate speech over there. That's fucked up.

All fascists are authoritarians, but not all authoritarians are fascists. It's possible, albeit not very self aware, to be a left wing authoritarian antifascist.

Only if you drop all nuanced analysis of what fascism is and just define it as authoritarianism. I don't like authoritarian communism, but I don't think it makes sense to describe it as fascism.

No

So nice to see good news coming out of Brazil. It's been a while.

Debt the first 5000 years is one of my favorite books. Graeber will be missed. He was so insightful.

This was my goto. Anyone have an alternative they want to recommend?

Let's hear it!

What specifically about being a Marxist Leninist is so bad that it warrants lumping them in with racists? I'm not an ML and I disagree with them on a number of things, but they're no Nazis. I looked around I didn't see anything particularly repugnant.

Exactly. Non profit. I don't recall seeing that in this article. I don't think it matters what the business model is. If your social media is a for profit company their interests aren't the same interests as the user.

If he gets convicted I'm popping a bottle, but I'm not holding my breath. One maga on the jury and the chances of justice go down considerably.

Most of them are fine. I'm just particular about Tu Quoque. I bring that one out alot since arguing with climate deniers is a bobby of mine. They love to appeal to hypocrisy.

I don't really like the explanation for Tu Quoque. Tu Quoque is an appeal to hypocrisy. For instance you want me to believe in climate change, but you drive a car or Al Gore flies private jets.

Whether or not something is true doesn't require the person telling you about it to have a lifestyle that's perfectly aligned with that information. You can be a hypocrite and correct. I would prefer to be a correct hypocrite than an incorrect non-hypocrite. At least the hypocrite knows there's something that needs to be done.

I also prefer false choice or false dichotomy over black and white for that one, but that's just me being picky. Black and white is just as good a descriptor for it. I do really like the infographic. It's nice to have them all in one place.

I'd agree, but I think the international publicity will balance out the corruption. They're going to lose a lot of face if the corruption is so bad they can't even deliver justice when the whole world is watching.

I don't understand why they're trying to feed AI everything. There's too much garbage on the internet and elsewhere. If they can't make a good LLM with academic articles, Wikipedia, and non fiction books, newspapers, and magazines then they need to go back to the drawing board.

Federal public defenders are world class so he's going to get a fair trial regardless.

I'm glad they see the uselessness of being non confrontational, but I'd like to see them at least implicitly endorse breaking things.
