No, but I like it more than China and Russia.
America is addicted to money however, and has a warped idea that working hard is somehow what life is about. But it’s still not close to fascism and there is some accountability still.

You guys complain but you never actually switch to Linux. :)
If you truly cared about being a technological slave, you would learn Linux tomorrow. But just like someone stuck in a abusive relationship, you hang around despite the horrible treatment because you are afraid to leave what’s comfortable.
Yeah. It can be seriously annoying to have people judge you for who you were once, or maybe never was even. Often other people’s perceptions are not accurate descriptions of who any of us really are.
It’s just life I guess.
You are Hillary Clinton?

It’s much more than ads and billboards. That’s not propaganda at all. I would call that advertisements.
What I mean with propaganda is government agencies putting false information to the public and acting like it’s true, for the purpose of swaying an opinion in the direction they choose.
I think a lot of the meme content here is bots as well.
But since most users don’t post anything, it’s better than the alternative.
Hacker news is often interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/
I started looking at summarized hacker news articles in the last month also, I like the format of this:

But sometimes I check Lemmy instead. It’s a lot easier to digest for the brain.
I think most people are not spending enough time reading about propaganda and how it’s used in 2020. Its very effective and people don’t know they have been exposed to it.
We who live in the western world frequently believe propaganda is done by Russia and China but not by our own leaders.
Special plugin operation.
All that text and not even one mention of what you don’t like with Gnome.
It’s not garbage and if anything, it makes plasma better by being a bit of competition and offering simplicity.
I think it’s more similar to the mac idea of simplicity, but there isn’t much new features.
Kids are not looking for that knowledge, I think you know that. Planet is being destroyed, yes, but nothing you can do about it by using your phone.
People really don’t want to believe that Apple, Microsoft and Google are all not on their side, so they choose to believe Apple is good, as some kind of a lesser evil.
But then newbies would get killed a lot and cry, and stop playing. For some reason, this didn’t happen 20 years ago but now, it’s appearently a big fucking problem if a player doesn’t feel powerful in the first five minutes of the game…
I think gamers are just really entitled now. They expect awards for turning on the game. And God forbid if someone else kicks their butt because they have more experience.
I was playing quake and unreal tournament growing up and I got absolutely wasted in the beginning. Made me laugh so hard. Then I got good, very good, because I had to be to not die.
Retired army general as well. Such a nice person… Not.
Entire tech industry does this over and over again. The only way to stop dancing along is to switch to Linux instead of praying to Microsoft or Apple corporations.
People don’t even take it seriously it seems.
Don’t think so. Havent you met kids feeling shit because of social media? It’s everywhere.
Maybe it is like that yeah.
