I love this guy’s channel. Two of my other favorite things he’s done are: Uppest Case / Lowest Case, and that time he Reverse Emulated a NES.

'Cause I’m drunk on a Thursday (Friday very early in the morning), and I’ve lost control of my life.

WTF is up with all the NSFW tags, and the massive ChatGPT-like spam?

I mean, I’m a fuckin’ weirdo who loves both heat and humidity. So I’m not really the target audience for that particular argument. But I get that I’m a weirdo, and most people don’t like living in the desert or a swamp. Personally, I’m much more turned off by their politics than I am their weather.

Gotta go with what works for you. But as a fellow cishet middle-aged white engineer, you could not pay me enough money for me to want to move to Texas. Or Florida. Or most of the middle of the country. If I were in your shoes, I’d be out as soon as I had the means to leave.

Every time I deleted my comments, some of them came back. It was always different comments that came back. My best guess is that they have a distributed database, and it has federation problems, so records deleted on one instance still appear on another.

This is not an arrest warrant in South Africa. It is an arrest warrant by the ICC itself. South Africa is a member nation of the international criminal court. If Putin goes to any member nation of the ICC, they will be required to arrest him. So far, Putin has not visited any nation who is a signatory for the ICC since they issued the warrant for him. South Africa will be the first.

Another +1 for Arris. It’s been a rock-solid workhorse. I’m a big fan of them.

Either you’re the stupidest person who has ever received a PhD in the world, or you’re a fucking liar. There’s absolutely no god damned way that you can hold this many imbecilic, counter-to-reality views while having had to engage with primary sources for the multiple years it took to achieve a PhD. Stop lying, seriously. Nobody buys your bullshit anyway.

So, I commented earlier about why right-wing opinions are trash in general, but I realized that I never addressed the meat of your question, which was: “Are[sic] Conservative/Right-Wing opinions completely unwelcome on Lemmy?”. Which, I’ve gotta say, is an incredibly stupid fucking question. Lemmy is a federated space, which means that anybody can set up their own server, with their own rules, and be part of the wider “Lemmy”. A much better question, since you’re posting on beehaw.org is: “Are Conservative / Right-Wing opinions completely unwelcome on Beehaw?”, which is answerable based on knowledge of the administrator(s) of Beehaw.

But, really, any fascist dipshit with a spare server and an internet connection can start their own Lemmy instance, and they’d fucking love your stupid fucking Right-Wing Opinions.

So, in short, your question is stupid, and your opinions are trash. Thank you, and goodnight.

I concede that you’ve got a point that austerity isn’t an all or nothing proposition. But your examples are laughable. No country that has implemented “austerity measures” has ever interpreted that as “ending corporate subsidies”, or “taxing the wealthy”, or in any way fucking with the wealthy or military’s purse. It just doesn’t happen. I agree, that would be an amazing thing. But it just doesn’t exist in human history. What ends up happening instead is that they cut the educational budget. Or they cut social programs, like housing subsidies or food subsidies. Because governments aren’t run by the lowest common denominator, who actually benefits from those programs. They’re run by the wealthy. So no government is going to fuck over its supporters by cutting their benefits.

True. Many of them are just plain evil. But I would argue that the vast majority are some combination of evil and stupid.

If your “conservative / right wing opinion” is that austerity measures are a good thing, then the most generous interpretation of that is that you’re just a moron. As it turns out, though, today’s “conservative / right wing opinions” are way worse than that. Things like “trans people aren’t people”. Or “we should do a treason”. Or “bribing supreme court justices is totally fine”. If you hold any of those opinions, the most generous interpretation of that is that you’re evil. And probably also stupid. That is the MOST generous interpretation, mind.
