This is about localization, not about renaming the thing

“class traitor”. Go away with that bs, they did their country a service by protecting the integrity of the US democracy against a violent mob. I get being upset how the police handles many issues but they are still needed. I doubt we’d be better off without them completely and no one is reporting on cops that follow their job honorably. They are here to protect the people. Yes, the system needs to be improved and the cops need to be trained properly and transparency has to be increased. Its just I still think the executive needs someone to enforce laws. Judiciary and legislature are nothing without that aspect so stop being so condescending to those who defended democratically elected representatives back then against the mob.

I can see your issue with the police union endorsing trump but still. “class traitor”, really?

He (the warlord) would still be murdered. Just with a justification - So it is really only a word game

Self defense only applies when you literally defend yourself from an attack in that moment. If you get away from a warlord with your life and kill him a day later thats again murder.

So you’d argue a civil servant that follows and order from trump that is legal but creates problems in one way or another for the American people are a collaborator? I don’t think we can speak of the word collaborator since up to now he has gained power completely legally and as long as you don’t help him carry out unconstitutional acts I don’t think this includes them.

You might think I’m being the self-righteous one. I actually think its the other way around. In a country with democracy and rule of law giving up on the belief that murder is wrong as a matter of principle just because it fits your narrative. What would you say when a person you ideologically support gets murdered as they caused violent protests that align with your ideology. Would you be opposed to that.

What am I even getting at. Murder and chaos like this has no place in society. At least not in one where the people can make sovereign choices.

The people in the government will now have to follow Trumps orders since he has the power to fire them and he wants to use it widely to replace them with yes-men. Yes the people working in the government are serving the people not the president. But you know he will get rid of people who won’t show him loyalty and for 4 years he’s kinda their boss. Collaborator makes it sound like the republican party is occupying the US illegally which it is not since they won (sadly).

The citizens of the US (the free people you’re talking about) voted him into office by their own volition

Maybe you could take a two way approach. Have a small set of default instances and then a button that gives the option to choose in the beginning. Like a mixed approach but I don’t like the idea of consolidation on the fediverse

Based on personal believes I wouldn’t like perform for Trump if I was in Snoops position. But there’s no denying that Trump is legitimately the president starting this evening and by your logic anyone that works for trump directly or indirectly as part of the government legitimizes or serves Trump as president in one way or another

I mean the person maintaining this site just chose to not recommend it themself based on valid concerns. Nothing is stopping you from looking into lemmy and using it anyways.

The values a newspaper represent and in which political direction they lean do not have to be the same just because they’re owned by wealthy people or publicly traded.

I also wouldn’t classify any big corporation categorically far right just because they are big. Calling something far right/extremist just because you are not a fan of it doesn’t change what constitutes reality. This take is completely unhinged. What exactly is intrinsic about the political leaning?

You can call the NYT a bunch of things but I’d argue its hardly far right fascist propaganda.

I honestly don’t like default instance approach. I think people should be able to select tags and they’d get communities recommended with maybe a flag of the country where it comes from next to it and like just a list of blocked communities from that home (inaccesible planets) and like a short description. I don’t think lemmy should become as centralised. I like your idea for that approach. If one community shuts down or like the admins or mods act stupid it would suck for users to not have been given a choice.

You can be against this kind of behavior while also not celebrating murder, you know?

Where do I stop with the murder? Whats the criteria to be evil and deserve to die? Who decides what justice is? I agree that its a slippery slope and its why I think self justice like this is more self righteousness than anything

Then you’d need a majority in democracy to vote in their interests. But they voted for Trump, a man who wants to get rid of the ACA and impose senseless tariffs on all countries while cutting down on regulation that keeps people save and installing his own unhinged lackeys. Harsh rhetoric, but I want to say the American people have voted against their interest, and if political pressure was there change would be possible. I like that this issue is getting attention but I strongly question people calling for more murder and chaos.

I think its one of the reasons reddit will never reach the mainstream like reddit. For one people find it confusing to find a community which I disagree with, you just need to take a slight effort to understand that you have a choice of community and in return you get great freedom. Since its mostly for more techies I and its overwhelmingly like left, people with moderate right views will feel like they’re completely out of place.

Im also sad that many of the bigger communities like ml have unhinged mods that ban for anyone disagreeing with them. For example some calls for violence being overwhelmingly onesided on here made me feel sick at times. But I don’t feel like sparking that debate over here.

You don’t need to be a good person to have a reason not to be killed.

Being a human being is already enough in most cases. His death does not change anything

I am honestly appreciate, that not everyone shares the same bloodlust people on lemmy have

Honestly, I get what you mean, but it also provides funding for new housing projects to be built first, and if you weren’t allowed to invent in it it would also not really be possible to rent a house, since that relies on someone paying for the house first.
