Most people are just trying to get through the day.

They don’t have time to spend on Lemmy, figure out how to use Linux, learn what a tariff is, or debate the difference between gender and sex, or read about what the Heritage Foudnation does.

True: the underlying system where power is distributed on the basis of wealth and wealth can be used to entrench power (aka capitalism) is the real issue

A group of pale, unhealthy humanoids approach. There are armed with Orange Julius and wearing JNCO jeans

Roll for initiative

The shorter version is: if the reds are busy fighting with the blues, then the capitalists can keep looting us without restriction

Updates & fixes -> I personally made updates with my bare hands and then also actively fixed some broken things also with my bare hands

I would say that beliefs are unprovable, and knowledge is provable. If I claim the sun will rise tomorrow, we can test that. If I claim god exists but is hiding, we cannot test that. The former is knowledge, the latter belief

Slavery!

That’s why it’s the color that it is

Edit: my bad, I guess it’s shaped like the coast of Africa
