Free Texas!

Texas is heavily populated by Mexicans or persons of Mexican descent, many of whom suffer serious cultural discrimination and economic adversity.

Also, Elon Musk go home and mind your own business.

That wouldn’t be the same 1% that has all the political power in the country, would it?

Yes, wasn’t it studied that psychopathy is the #1 trait to get to the top in a capitalist setting?

Aren’t you describing a coop?

One of the aspects of socialism is that production is undertaken to fulfill a social need, not to generate profit. But yes, I think you can have markets under a socialist system of production… but I’m no expert.

Free education and universal healthcare are not socialist in themselves.

Sure they are: production is undertaken to fulfill a social need.

That’s right, “socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.” as MLK Jr. said.

Good point. So why do we have wage slavery instead of everyone being involved in coops?

Narrator: it does not work on Lemmy

!remindme 1 day

Does !remindme work on Lemmy?

Ok thanks, I’ll check it out.

Thanks. Extensions like CanvasBlocker probably mess with the JS, could that be what’s making me get blocked?

Yes! This works, thanks!

Nearly all the media I consume is text based and works without JS.

Yea, well, I bet you still jerk off manually

Does FreeTube work for you? It gives me “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” for every single video. It might work without VPN but I’m not interested enough to try.

It sounds like you’re over-doing something like JS blocking. You have to find a balance.

Wisely put and I suspect you’re right, but if it’s really just about using a VPN I feel like, “Well why do you want to know my IP address so bad?”. I did do the JS blocking trick for a totally unusable web experience but now I allow JS and it’s just a widely unusable web experience ¯\(ツ)/¯

Edit: doesn’t lemmy.world block people from posting through a VPN?

Yes, for me yt-dlp went from working to error 404 to working to error 403 :/

Thanks, I’ll look into LibRedirect.

Edit: it has that scary “Access your data for all websites” permission…

Yes, it seems wrong that now Google, one of the biggest companies of all time and one under a hostile regime, controls access to knowledge and information that individuals all around the world have worked together to compile over decades. Looking back now that we know about enshitification, we should have been more careful.
