Independence from fascist demands is possibly the best reason to temporarily hurt your economy. It’s chopping off a gangrenous finger to save your arm.

You’d have to distinguish drag from others using drag neopronouns for fun and or profit. Drag thinks this would be fun for a while, if only to prove drags point dragself.

Did they ever use dragself? I bet they did. Well never know now.

That’s effectively impossible as a part of the nature of the fediverse. You could try banning alts on site but it’s really not that hard to have a dozen alts waiting across host of instances.

The image says 16.7 for Taipei, not 6.7. neither my comment nor the image contains a 6.7.

Now you can argue all western and Eastern sources are undercounting nk and China, that’s why I didn’t even include nk given the natural mistrust of information from a country with less than 10k tourists a year; but any search of this info online shows the same trend: Chinese nationals dont commit suicide as often as their oppressed neighbors.

What was that again?

Except, you know, the secret service already let one shooter try.

You’re almost definitely thinking of xiaomi, which almost always sell as unlockable carrier independent models.

If there’s not a perverse profit motive at every stage and instead people are rewarded for getting the job done and getting the job done right, you end up with high quality fast engineering.

Mbfc is funded and run by Nazis. You’re defending a Nazi site. I personally wouldn’t call you a Nazi over doing so in ignorance, but others might.

You’re right, defending Nazi sites doesn’t make you friends, you’re wrong that there’s any peer review of the site though, either way.

Literally only in the US and Europe. Remove the profit motive and don’t keep on inefficient construction companies and it’s a quick process.

This suggests conservatives are secretly strong though. We know that’s not the case.

They directly answered your question in its entirety.

The harm is simple, people get the illusion they’re making a difference and that it’s enough, it also legitimizes voting as the way to change things despite ample evidence it doesn’t.

This leads to Dems hating protestors, or telling protestors to protest quietly and no in the road. This leads to liberals hating the working class when they go in strike, because why didn’t they just vote for better conditions. It leads to liberals hating anything useful, because they already did the only ‘useful’ thing and voted.

This leads to lesser evilism and accepting institutions as the foundation of society, instead of any ideology that will positively change things.

Now now, liberals thought they did anything by banning guns and overall making it much more difficult to defend yourself.

Libs can only pretend to support one minority group at a time, and the gays didn’t help them get elected this time 'round.

Not really, you people just killed and imprisoned anyone that wasn’t racist towards Russians for years until there wasn’t anyone outwardly neutral or positive towards Russia.

Unless the US invades or starts giving Russians Intel.

Lemmy is mostly left wing, which starts at anticapitalist. But beyond that it’s certainly not ideologically homogeneous. If you want right wing content .world exists.

Here’s an introduction to Thomas Edison, https://theconversation.com/thomas-edison-visionary-genius-or-fraud-99229

It has actual sources, and isn’t a 4.5 hour sponsored video from whatever estate is trying to do PR for the name Edison.
