    I see something like this and I’m like “oh are you trans?” And then I’m like “oh or a cis woman?” And then I’m like “oh or an immigrant or any shade of brown?” “Oh or a working class man?” And I just end up thinking of every identity combination because there are maybe 5 people on earth that this admin hasn’t been extremely hostile to, and even for them it’s only a matter of time before they start turning on each other and eating each other too

      Then you think ‘where is this being posted?’ The US, the UK, Australia, China, Russia?

      Finally you realise this applies to all governments across the globe, we are at a tipping point, I just hope whoever are in charge when the power flips are the good revolutionaries and not the evil.

        I know being a cynic is very popular in the under 15 set, but let’s not pretend what we’re seeing now is business as usual.

          Hahaha - I’m the other end of the Lemmy age spectrum, unfortunately I’m old enough to have seen a number of right wing governments remove rights and freedoms, and successive ‘left wing’ governments do nothing to restore them because they are empowered by the same handful of people.

          We are in the new age of the Robber Barons, we just call them Tech Billionaires this time.

          The sooner the world realises we need to redress the balance the better, until then it will be business as usual.
