  • Out of curiousity, if the veracity of this ‘blog’ is confirmed in the facts that this reporter was approached by FBI following his reporting of a manifesto, and mainstream ‘approved’ sources simply are not covering, how is this any less news? What is your ideal recourse for this to not be posted in news@lemmy.world if it is not merely an opinion piece?







  • I think you misunderstand me, what I am rhetorically asking is why Democrats are seemingly incapable of manufacturing the same discontent for their own purposes. Obviously not looking up to the republicans, however tried and true their playbook is, but the dems have been outwardly afraid of critisizing their own even when there’s any given political or moral imperative. See: Biden stepping down at the last convieveable moment, thus not conducting primary elections even when he initially ran for one term.

    On the contrary, see: “RHINOs”, to an almost militant capacity they rooted out any potential adversaries in their own party to further their aganeda, simutaniously feeding narratives of party righteousness and locking in the rhetoric to their base of support. The dems couldn’t be bothered to ecen try to co-opt the most vocal advocacy groups in their favor.

    Now my opinion, it’s too late for a hypothetical playbook to correct this trajectory. I believe that justice and liberty as under the constitution should not be entriely beholden to institutions that have demonstrably rolled over in their duties. And I think Dems hold such an accountability that is not in anyway equal to the damage being conducted by republicans, but by giving a voice to the “DINOs” like John Fetterman who in a heartbeat are willing to betray their party’s principles, they perpetuate what the opposition wants.


  • I must be imagining something other than what actually happened every time republicans were in the minority. Because I swear they had done anything and everything to prevent any sort of progressive legislation, perpetuated elections being compromised without basis, and controlled their narrative past the storming of the capitol, while not being in the majority. Or did I dream all that?


  • I really like the featureset of Trillium, specifically Trillium next, but frankly have not gotten around to setting up on my server, as the mobile app cannot work without a sync server ( to the best of my knowledge ). Coming from Obsidian, I wanted true FOSS and a better way to sync, but turns out it contains essentially all the features I relied on Obsidian plugins for. I could update you once I get around to it, as I think it’s a little too soon to make judgement


  • Eh, I don’t think we should be so reductive of media that we intend to engage kids with, afterall, it has the opportunity to shape younger generations media literacy to some extent. With that, there’s a handful of movies I watched as a kid that I had gained an older appreciation for, as their messages and themes don’t lose meaning with age, and will continue to enjoy.

    Just recently I rewatched The Lego Movie, not in doubt, but I was suprised how it holds up compared to some newer (and older) media, which I certainly don’t feel the need to watch/rewatch (sorry Mario you fall here). Made for kids shouldn’t equate to crass humor and meandering plot, but when it does, it may be just a bad movie.

    When I was a young lad, I remember feeling somewhat guilty at first for falling asleep during Planes, but I had pieced it together, some movies suck. And I can’t lie, I enjoy the occasional rewatch of Megamind as another one that holds up well
