It’s a two-step process:

1. Misuse the word “groomer” until it means “anyone that isn’t strictly heterosexual” (while also taking away useful vocabulary to describe a real abuse tactic).
2. Make cruel and unusual punishment legal for “groomers”.

Make no mistake: they want you dead. It’s that simple.

imagine fleeing an argument you’re wrong on this way 🤡

RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.

A step in a marginally better direction. Next step: ban animal agriculture.

We need to solve the problem, not just tax it. Animal exploitation, while reason enough to ban it on its own, is also a primary driver in climate change and zoonotic diseases. If you want to solve either of those existential problems, banning animal agriculture must be a part of that strategy.

God bless 🫡 Get the occupying force the fuck outta there.

It’s analogous, and this is a comment section. Deal with it.

Lol. It’s a close second, but at least Apple isn’t blatantly hostile toward users in the same way that Microsoft is.

Obligatory people getting mad at you for people suggesting you stop using software that is openly hostile toward you response.

All hierarchies facilitate abuse. Theism is the ultimate hierarchy. When you have large congregations of people that fall in line under a hierarchy, those at the top will abuse those beneath them.

It’s corn starch. The ancient wonder suffers more defacement in the form of erosion because it rains every 4 seconds in the UK. Stonehenge will be perfectly okay.

Protests will always incite rage. The question is “is it justified?”. In this case, sure, but your unhinged comment that started this thread is just reactionary drivel.

This was just a big-brained ploy by Chomsky to sell more copies of Manufacturing Consent. Truly, the Machiavelli of our time!

I’ve read the other replies to my comment, but yours is the only counter that I mostly agree with.

Yes, going after an oil plant would certainly be a much more radical form of protest. The main issue is that targeting something like that carries massive risk and is unfathomably challenging. That isn’t to say they shouldn’t do it though.

My comment was more a response to some of the general negative sentiment that I see in response to other protests that are disruptive. It’s usually reactionary claims of “you’re making people mad, so it’s counterproductive”, while ignoring the fact that nothing else has worked.

“Protests must be polite and not ruffle any feathers” is what I’m hearing.

Sorry. But as climate change gets worse and corporations continue to annihilate the living beings on this planet while governments uphold their ability to do so, the protests will only become more radical. We’re long past the point of polite protests, and they didn’t work.

Here’s a neat tip:

You can go to most publisher or developer pages on Steam and “ignore” them to prevent Steam from ever showing you their slop again.

Example:

1. Go to: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/Ubisoft
2. Click the “Settings” cog.
3. “Ignore this creator”

You can do the same with EA, 2K, etc. Don’t even give these parasites microseconds of your time when they release their next slop title.
