You forgot:

3. The Soviet Union falling apart 50 years later

It wasn’t the killing of security forces that gave you independence, it was the culmination of a lot of factors that led to the downfall of the Soviet Union and former Soviet states declaring independence.

By promoting violence in the US, you’re marching lock-step with the Russians. So either you’re a Russian, in which case I hope you headbutt an artillery round, or you’re Ukrainian in which case it seems weird to wish internal violence on one of the countries providing you with the weapons manufacturing that you require to defend your country from capture. I can’t imagine that the US falling into civil war will increase the weapon shipments.

Benn Jordan has some other ideas too(and a bit more detail on the mesh technologies/DIY options available): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_F4rEaRduk

1. Natural Gas is still fossil fuel.

2. Ok. You still have to push electrons and also not destroy the global climate.

3. As much as you think it is BS, datacenters exist and they are attached to the same grid as your house, so if you don’t want the power to your house to go away then the grid needs more generating capacity. Unless you want to live under the ocean or in a desert then that capacity can’t produce CO2. The only options which generate power are renewables and nuclear. Solar and Wind cannot provide baseline power generation and the renewables that can provide baseline power (hydroelectric, for example) are limited in where they can be deployed.

So what power generating source exists that can generate baseline power, doesn’t produce CO2 and can be used without specific geological formations?

I’ve seen Andor so I understand your point.

In order for you to understand my counter argument you will need to read War and Peace, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and the first three Harry Potter novels. Let me know when you’re finished and then I’ll respond.

I think the move here, based on recent events, is to hire an AI to do it then fire everyone else and complain that it isn’t built yet.

Good job, you beat up that mean ole fascist strawman that you’ve created out of thin air.

Any other positions that you want to imagine me having? Maybe pretend I’m a zionist, I’m sure you’ll do a great job against that one too.

Let me know if you need any more ideas for your fantasy world.

I doubt the employees of the Агентство интернет-исследований (““Internet Research Agency””) are worried about a Delta Force raid.

Isn’t this the chud that got caught at a ski resort on a vacation paid for by lobbyists?

Americans discovering what the rest of the third world has been warning of 80 years ago.

The US elites have always been ruthless powerhungry sociopaths but until recently they’ve had the political wit to save the most repressive tactics for overseas where there are only brown people who’ve been villianized already so nobody cared.

Now the right-wing elites are taking American foreign policy and deploying it in the US. Seize power, install a friendly and corrupt dictator, rule through the dictator and finance him to the point of being immune to protest or revolt.

At least they didn’t run over any actual people

I don’t think we have time to build a guillotine that big

advocating for compliance with fascists.

Ah yes, the old ‘Anybody who doesn’t agree with me is the enemy’ fallacy.

I don’t advocate for compliance, I advocate for not doing stupid shit like getting yourself arrested for promoting violence on social media so that you can actually do things that make a difference instead of staring at concrete.

What you are doing is dumb and, even if I completely agreed with you about when violence is required I certainly wouldn’t be talking about it on public social media, you fucking idiot.

Setup Meshtastic nodes too.

Having the ability to communicate without using cellular infrastructure is incredibly useful, especially during natural disasters (which ICE certainly qualifies).

Stop it, the downvotes hurt me so much

I can’t have enough cheesy saxophone music in my life.

I’m sorry, is somebody here to cite my work? As if it would take me more than 10 seconds to look at your history and find some failures of logical consistency.

Great non sequitor, Captian logical consistency.

Can you describe any sentence that I could have written which would make your comment less conspiratorial or paranoid?

Yeah and I’m sure your flippant attitude about openly advocating for violence is because you’re in a country where the FBI can’t get you.

I guess it beats dying in Ukraine with the rest of your rotting countrymen.

You know that guy didn’t make a single “conservative argument”, meaning he did not provide evidence for his claim.

His claim was: “Lemmy is chock full of bots, but it’s also full of people who are democrats, liberals and leftists that will stop at nothing to harass people who share conservative ideas.”

That isn’t a political argument, it has nothing to do with conservatism. It is, however, a pretty accurate observation given the fact that you will presumably claim some sort of leftist ideology and you are part of the harassment squad.

Nothing I said was in defense of conservatism, I stated that it existed and there are other conservative parties and ideologies that are not MAGA. This isn’t an opinion, it’s Political Science 101.

I would LOVE to hear about all the so-called conservatives that DON’T support Trump.

Getting offended that I’m giving you Wikipedia articles is rich. Maybe don’t ask such ignorant and basic questions that can be answered by a Wikipedia entry.

Here are conservative parties that are not MAGA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conservative_parties_by_country

your Trumper friends Trump has owned your party

It is massively ignorant of you to, incorrectly, assume that I’m a MAGA. There is nothing I’ve said that could be construed that way and I’m sure that I’m left of you politically.

You’re confusing ‘people who disagree with me’ with ‘MAGA’. I disagree with the harassment, that doesn’t make me a conservative.

Several people have asked that guy and you to provide conservative ideas and how they would apply to the current situation.

That’s because it is a red herring (there’s a Wikipedia article for this too), it has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation.

The conversation is about “people who are democrats, liberals and leftists that will stop at nothing to harass people who share conservative ideas”. Somehow this has triggered a wave of downvotes and harassing comments, why? Nothing that he said is incorrect.

The reason why is that you can read his statement and infer that he isn’t a leftist, democrat or liberal and therefore you join right in on the harassment of him and anybody who tells you that you’re wrong. You baselessly assume that the people disagreeing with you are MAGA.

This whole thread is full of ignorant harassment.

While the part about them being ordered to do it is unfounded

Yeah, that’s the part I’m talking about.

Openly sharing your paranoid conspiratorial thinking doesn’t exactly give you a huge about of credibility.

Gosh, there goes my Oscar chances. A agitator bot doesn’t like my writing.
