Do you live in the country far from a city. In the UK where I live there’s been a rise in homelessness, roads are packed full of cars, the water treatment companies are poisoning our rivers and beaches, I saw the environmental agency destroying a habitat that was home to several birds, old victory buildings getting knocked down in anticipation of student accommodation, high street in my city has betting shops and casinos, local shops can’t compete with the corporations. Its grim

Its a universal tactic, look up Manufacturing Consent, it’s a book but you dont need to read it to grasp how insidious the governmental news machine is instead look at the Wikipedia page

I had posted there and checked after seeing your post. Sad to see it go.

I was answering the last part of op’s post… Asking if there is a place to ask question on Lemmy. It would of been redundant of me to suggest “no stupid question”

You could make a film community or look for an alternative film community hosted in Lemmy.

Ask Lemmy is for questions.

No ones truly anything, nationalism is a horrid thing and sorry people have treated you as they have, its more they’re own insecurity then anything to do with you.

RIP Trosky. fuck Stalin the absolute cowered

You need to cross post this or something, and keep researching as your an asset to humanity!

Would love to hear more of what you’ve found.

My right wing uncle just yesterday posed this question in reverse oddly enough, it was a jarring conversation, soon ended when I pointed out the plentiful admittions of hateful rhetoric the right have spouted.

His information comes from YouTube personality’s and I take great pleasure in researching the shit he regurgitate and showing him my finding with carefully selected source as unbiased as possible. in a way I feel sorry for the working class right winger, misguided, fueled purely by escapism and negative emotions then peddlers with skin in the game wrap them up with crazy notions of patriotism and conspiracy

Society has collapsed.

I bring back slightly big stone and chalk.

as someone who’d worked in the restaurant industry i second this.

This is what I had thought, where I was confused was the vast amount of comments in the linked post stating flatly that charging for software went against foss

Thank you for clearing this up, the comments in the linked post where having me question myself

No such thing as a free ride, lottery is a shitty company that promotes and cements gambling into our society.

And why are you getting death threats, I know there are unhinged people out there

Am I missing something, gnu gpl is a licence, Foss a philosophy, is gnu gpl licence Foss? And if so why are so many people saying charging for software isn’t Foss when Richard stalman himself makes the point “This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.””

Sorry if I got this wrong I am generally confused by this hole thing.

Lottery will for ever be know as idiot tax
