And a wrong upvote gets you a ban and a visit from the FBI

Yes, I agree. I by no means are trying to argue that the administration is NOT dehumanising immigrants (and Transfolk. And we all know it won’t stop there).

I’m just pointing out that we don’t need to make up things (or in this case ommit context), especially given the vast amount of clear evidence that we have for the administrations stand.

I don’t disagree with deporting immigrants that have been shown, trough due process, to have committed crimes.

I disagree with making fun of one of them with bad AI pictures.

I also don’t think this comic shows how the Trump government has no empathy for immigrants.

That is better shown by their actions: Deporting 250 Venezuelans to a foreign prison without due process for example.

I belive that, in the face of such clear evidence that they regard immigrants as sub-humans, there is no need to take a comic out of context to make your point.

She is still a human beeing that deserves not to be made fun of like this.

Yeah, I agree, it doesn’t help. In car dealerships? That at least doesn’t affect people who bought a tesla because they cared for the environment before Elon went full Nazi.

You are not engaging with my criticism.

I’ll refrase it, maybe I was unclear the first time.

1. The Comic is about one specific insident, which is provided with the original.

2. The picture here stirps it of that context.

Hence the picture here is suggesting that the original tweet made fun of ALL immigrants. Most peoples posts here are working from the assumption that this is the case.

Im not saying it is okay to make fun of this woman. A person smuggling Fentanil (if that is even true) still does not deserve to be mocked in this way.

I saying it is not okay to strip the tweet of the context, because it makes the goverment look worse on purpose (making fun of all immigrants, not one specific case). And yes, that is a tactic used by the right lot. I’m not saying “both sides do this so it’s okay when it happens on the right”. I’m saying the left should be better than that.

The goverment are all ready acting like fashists. There are plenty of things to be critical of that are ture - why try to play up something like this? Why lie?

No “both sides are equaly bad”. Just a “our side should be above this”.

So there is some context to it. She has been arrested for smuggling Fentanil, reentered the US again and got arrested once more.

The image is making fun of her specifically, not so much the all out “immigrants are bad and nobody cares if they cry” message that is suggested by not posting said context with it. Making fun of sonedoby in this way can be m condemned morally too of course, but it’s not how people ITT are aporachig the issue.

This is the kind of “I want my worldview reassured so I will ignore the context” behaviour that I see a lot on the right. The more I am on Lemmy, the more I see this same aporach.

So this is nothing more than left wing propaganda.

I know this will get me some downvotes, but I encourage you to argue why I am wrong too. Because I think I am right now, but I am open to change my mind.

Yeah, same.

What are you talking about? There is a literal “Stop Oligarchs” Tour going on right now.

So Jesus was probably very anti Roman, and killed by the Roman state as a potential revolutionary leader. Later, Paul (or his forgers) realizes that rewriting some of the theology a bit to be more sympathetic to power might be helpful.

Isn’t that the gospel of Matthew?

To my knowledge his employer let him rewrite the gospel in a more pro Roman way, possibly to make the religion that was spreading amongst Romans more accesable to them.

So going trough this the reason the AI replied like it did is because the user used a feature called “quick question” that can only respond with text and not code. (It’s the last answer marked as “solution” in the linked thread.

Still funny tough.

Not Safe For Work, mostly nudity, sometimes violence.

I don’t know where you are doing the switching on or off part.

I do this over my app (Boost), where I have to turn it on (show NSFW content) to see it.

I don’t know about that. What I do is try to listen to why a group thinks a word is offensive.

The thing with “retard” is that it has been used to refer to people with mental disabilities for a very long time. By saying “republicans are retards” you say “rebilocsns are as stupid as people that were born with a mental disability”.

Thing is, people with mental disabilities are still people. There are goofy, snarky, nice, some are even quite big assholes. Many can be a lot of fun to interact with. They are just people, even if they are not as intelligent as you or me.

Referring to people as retarded, to me, means setting mentaly disabled people as the baseline for beeing idiots. And I just don’t think it’s fair to reduce them to something, they had no saying in what so ever. They didn’t choose to be born that way and they shouldn’t be reduced to just that.

/rant I guess

Total War: Warhammer 3. I play it more or less exclusively with a buddy in multiplayer. Been playing since part 1 came out. I love how the addition of magic and flying creatures changed the Total War formula up, the immense size of the map, the mixture of races.

Rimworld with a couple of hundert mods is still at the top, although I tend to let it rest for some months before I pick it up again.

Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 are my favourite RPG games.

Used to play Skyrim with a bassilion mods a LOT and love it for the hours of enjoyment, but after so many years I have possibility played enoth of it… But who knows, might feel the itch and spend 48 hours trying to get every mod to run just to stop playing after one hour again at some point.

Loved the Mass Effect Triology. Only did one playtrough, that was intens and great.

Binding of Isaac is still my go to for a quick 30 minutes gaming session when I feel like it. I realy suck at it too, so after 12 years there’s still a lot left to do.

Fuck. See, that was easy, no censoring necessarily at all.

As in: Fuck off for using the r-word.

Wild.

Or, if I might add, in case of anti-vaxxers, IF you get older ;-)

I don’t mean this as an attack at all, but isn’t calling Luigi “Green Mario” a way to comply with the wired reddit cencorship?

We are on Lemmy, you can speak freely here.

Or did something just go over my head?

I have respect for the teacher. She is willing to risk her job to stand up for her values and is not bending the knee. Every Democrat should take a good long look at her.
