A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Charlie's job was propaganda. He laundered the fascist ideology into mainstream discourse. If my coworker said some of the awful shit Charlie said, I'd just think he was a racist piece of shit, but I wouldn't celebrate his murder (nor would I mourn it). But Charlie had an audience of millions, and was paid handsomely to spread his fascist propaganda. I opened my nicest bottle of scotch when I heard the news.

Then you are just as bad as Charlie was. You just don’t have the same amount of followers.

I don't give a shit what you think of me.

[–] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That goes both ways, don’t worry.

That makes you just as bad as Charlie Kirk 🥸

In what world is celebrating someone’s assasination the same as not giving a fuck about someone's opinion?

No wait… don’t answer that. I don’t even care how your weird brain works.

It's the exact same thing, sweaty. All things are the same. Every person is the same. Every opinion is the same. Every death is the same.

Well yes, i suppose in your brain they are. Thankfully, in the real world things are different. Good day to you.

You've taught me this lesson only several comments ago. My eternal gratitude for this impartment of zen-like wisdom.
