I wonder if this guy is disliked by Americans as much they dislike that UHC CEO, or is it more?

There’s a difference between being annoying online and being hated because you think Scrooge McDuck wasn’t greedy enough. No one is going to ice you for having bad tales on the Internet.

Real. I don’t think the average American can correctly identify the oligarch culprits in most cases, this is the exception.

Don’t say that shit here. It’s called the FEDiverse because it’s full of feds.

Also this guy did it without undermining the global vaccine movement. Thanks Obama!

And they certainly don’t ever go on the lolita express.

The guy was shot with his own words. Nothing innocent about it.

They don’t have a problem with what is being done, just who are the ones doing it.

The reminds me of what Zizek said of the liberals: they are very cynical. “We need to do things we don’t believe are good, maybe even bad, but it works”

GitHub definitely would and has in the past. YouTube-dl is on GitHub and gets a pass because it is used by researchers and archivists, both are fair use. forgejo.org would let you be your own fedi-github and might be worth checking out (could be easier than designing a plugin system and additional repos).

The fascist power structure is unjust and so it is like an upsidedown pyramid being propped up by pillars: people who do the actual work are the pillars. This pyramid topples when those pillars are removed. This can be a workers’ strike in a certain sector (example given was the eastern shoremen refusing to load weapons for a war).

I’m also struck by how the article says to handle fear. We need to act as community and flip the script on their fear tactics.

The author of the article also has an interesting interview with Sam Seder where they talk about more historical examples: https://youtu.be/YLBM2SEL6Rc
