if you don’t want to be assaulted.

you don't have to apologize, that's not my point. in fact i want you to quietly think about how what you said before, and just now might be wrong til it hits home for you.

i know it seems like im baiting an answer. its the net, arguing is fun, nothing's stopping you from replying, but I'm being straight with you. stop victim blaming. you're not stupid, im not saying you are. *please, stop. it only helps the oppressor, and we're all getting stomped by that boot.

i want you to know im not tryina bust your chops specifically. sure, i picked your comment to reply to, but it's nothing personal.

I'm also speaking broadly to the room, reminding everybody what we already know; that how we look at pervasive surveillance n how we got to live under it is absolutely broken.

i'd like to point out that it shouldn't be on women (or anyone) to be on constant guard against attacks on their privacy.

yes, it is the state of the world, but the attitude of your comment is victim blaming.

let's not forget that while we on Lemmy may be aware of the danger of mass surveillance tech, we're not the majority.

snowden told us years ago how fucked everything is, and surveillance has only grown since then. let's not forget that it is not normal that corpo data-mining is the norm (along with included de-facto warrantless surveillance). Even though we all should be better, nobody should have to be as careful as we are.

hell, let's be real. As long as we use a smartphone, we're not being careful enough either.

trickle down economics ~~lessons~~. Reagan was right all along

when you put it in those terms, i tend to agree.

im only saying that if ya take ops statement "always has been" to mean "for longer than you've been living" then it's nitpicky to bring up what the party was — in response to a joke meme comment — before anyone here was even born.

but it's not like we disagree or anything, nor did op explicitly say that. it was just my own readin.

have a good one

stay in your own thread, woody

"reach for the sky!"

"there's a snake in my boot!"

"this town aint big enough for the two of us"

Heeheehee! If only voting brought us further away from fascism

i wonder if that's true.

let's be real this is being nitpicky cuz even if you're right most of us cats were babies or eggs in reagans time. I'm old as fuck and i didn't even get to vote till bill Clinton

heeheehee! if only the world was as simple as the mind that made this meme

Ahh. i hope you gave a long memory and the capacity to learn shame, cuz this is a bad look that a future-you should remember and cringe at.

save these, ok?
