Sometimes people be buying accounts that have farmed karma too.

Best time to start this was before. But 2nd best time is now!

Hopefully they don’t go all “Great Firewall of the US” on us.

Probably they’d use obscenity laws. Or they might bring lawsuit after lawsuit, dmca after dmca, until it drains them of their funds.

Which ones do you think are of most importance? This fascist regime is likely to be christofascist, so that’s a valid concern. Nag Hammadi library with its heretical gnostic texts for example is likely to be preserved given it has copies in other countries.

Another thing to consider: If things go full on crazy, like they seem likely to do, being in possession of improper knowledge could be a capital offence when the thought police come knocking.

Ehhh, fuck fascists. They can’t get all of us if a bunch of us do this.

Any specific ones in mind that are of great importance or influence?

Sigh, spell check ending careers. 😔

I’m guessing for the handjob one, it’s that hand is over clothing with the duck under clothing.

For the 69 one, I’m guessing it’s positioning.

This is not exactly the case. “It can be used for combat” does not necessarily mean “it’s the best/ideal/ready for combat”. I would stress readily that if you are in the west, Judo and or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are good for grappling arts. For striking arts Muay Thai is great! Some alternatives are sanda or dutch kickboxing. Though I’m not too sure on availability of Sanda schools in the west. If you really want to go the Chinese martial arts route, Choy Li Fut is a good style, and has supposedly gone toe to toe with Muay Thai on a few occasions.

It’s good as a form of physical meditation. Supposedly some speculate taichi may have been a training art for actual practical grappling arts like shuai jiao.

I think the “bulletproof” claims are vastly over hyped. It can block 9mm and that’s about it. Rifle rounds can easily penetrate it lol.

The anvil, can make a lot of stuff with it. You can even use it to make fire, striking a piece of iron until it’s hot enough to light a forge or small fire. Older copies of the Machinery’s handbook(the machinist’s Bible) have a few things on blacksmithing.

Revanced is nice

I like to be optimistic, eventually such crusaders will have such tools turned against them and that will be that. Even they will begin doubting whether any nudes are real.

Still, I’m not so naive that I think it can’t turn any other way. They might just do that thing they do with abortions, that is the line of reasoning that goes: “the only acceptable abortion is my abortion”, now changed to “the only fake nudes, are my nudes”

Ehhhh, I like to think that eventually society will adapt to this. When everyone has nudes, nobody has nudes.

He’s actually leftist I think, and was parodying centrists too

I will add though that FOSS principles do tend to align more closely with the principles of non-commodification, collaboration, voluntary contribution, community-ownership, and free access to knowledge, which “can be” associated with socialist or Marxist ideals.

That’s the thing, I think they’re all just regular people with more radical views on politics. I feel as if this recent fad of “dead internet theory” which posits the majority of the net is filled with bots, is really an attempts by certain groups to dismiss certain online communities/dismiss the idea that these communities are indicative of some sort of wider trend within society, which is really what I think is an attempts to gain control of what is seen as consensus reality online, dehumanize the other side, and justify the suppression/repression of certain ideas, opinions, and groups.

If you’re claiming they are bots, I don’t think that’s the case. Judging from the little threads I’ve been reading throughout this post, it seems as if Lemmy was created by some diaspora of Marxists from reddit after reddit banned their stuff. If this is true, you’re not interacting with bots, you would be interacting with actual Marxists. People.
