I can just stop being online. I show my library card when I need to renew my stateID

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If the fascists get much further, possessing a library card will disqualify you from voting.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You think fascists are still going to allow voting?

[–] Tortellinius@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Successful fascists do, and yes. Don't fall into this fallacy and act early, instead of too late.

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That can't be true. We all know trump can't count. He's bankrupted THREE casinos! HOW THE FUCK CAN HE NOT MANAGE A CASINO, BUT CAN RIG AN AMERICAN ELECTION???

..because it's not him doing it. He's mainly a figurehead, a useful idiot. It's the smart fascists around him and behind him. Peter Thiel, Roger Stone, Russ Vought, Stephen Miller, Mitch McConnell, etc. etc. and basically all the Christian Nationalists and White Supremacists who've been working for over 30-40 years to chip away at and infiltrate every US institution. It took a long time, but they worked patiently to reach the point where this was possible.

I’m so happy that I’m an elder millennial that grew up before internet. I’m 100% okay not using the internet.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I told a 30 yr old if this bs comes to Canada I'll just drop all internet connections. He asked what the hell I would do without internet, I replied "Hey, I grew up in the 80s, I'll just go back to the way I lived before the internet. Read books, listen to music, and use the library I have." He looked like I simply said I was gonna cut off my hand

I have enough backlog of dvds, books, console games and cds to last me the rest of my days. Wouldn’t bother me none.
