      Its not about logic it’s about fascism - they want everyone to know who has power on you even if it doesn’t actually do much in practice.

      They say they will find those “with AI”. And they will, for true or for false, because they only want another weapon to use against the “undesirables”.

      I question this, and really, their availability.

      With prep-time, any prosecutor and crew could dig up every tiny detail about you in about a week, including every single site any related IP addresses to you have been to and how much time you spend there and all of your dns queries.

      But here, on the spot. “You tell us”.

      Their lack of effort is correlated to the amount of spite they have for any individual person. It’s like using a magnifying glass. If they actually gave a shit, they wouldn’t have to ask.

      That is a fucking terrible idea. If they later find it, they’ll lock you up and maybe later throw you out. The financial risk makes no sense.

        Find what?

        I haven’t had “traditional” social media for years and what I did have has since been deleted, or so I’m told.

        I bet the nazi’s will have fake “real” ones ready to go either way. When they want to take their current purge to the next level, you’re fucking done.

    Remember folks, always vote against Republicans in the most likely manner to prevent them from having any level of power.

      @DarkFuture@lemmy.world

      @return2ozma@lemmy.world That’s a pretty short sighted view considering just ~150 years ago the Democrats were the party against abolishing slavery. Times change, but American politics really don’t.

      Limiting the choice to the lesser of two evils only benefits one of the classes in the real fight. As Alaska (since 2022) and NYC (this week) have shown, RCV allows voters to select who they really want to lead regardless of whether polls say they are “wasting” their vote.

        You’re not wrong, but most of us don’t have the benefit of ranked choice in our jurisdictions. Until we can get that, I’ll continue to vote against the greater evil.

        I dream of being able to one day vote for something instead of being forced to vote against something.

        Well yeah but you have to get RCV first. But for the rest of us in FPTP land, we make do until enough of a movement for RCV is built — and you can’t build a movement for RCV while basic rights are being stripped away and you’re spending all your cycles on the back foot defending those and putting out fires. Eh, who am I kidding… The damage is irreparable, current Democrats (unless the party gets taken over by Mamdani clones) will just do their ratchet shit again and cement this as the new normal because they’re fucking useless.

        In FPTP, not voting the lesser evil gives you the greater evil. It’s dead simple, but I’ll be the first to admit it’s a damn hard pill to swallow for us idealists (I should know, I was a Jimmy Dore fan in 2019-2020, took me ages to see through faux-left grift because it preys on idealism and perfectionism).

        I’m gonna go out on a limb and say if a random immigration official knows about your anonymous lemmy account you were already mega-fucked on the immigration front. They’ve been watching you and probably have a 3 inch thick file on you before you walked in the door.

        Many jobs will already disqualify applicants if they don’t have any social media, or refuse to provide account names. The rise of cancel culture means many businesses are extremely risk-averse, and don’t want any employees who are prone to posting inflammatory things.

    Ah damn, I was a state actor who was going to smuggle in sleeper agents to perform sabotage and espionage in the US, but I can’t figure out how to create a fake social media profile. I admit defeat.

    There are plenty of schools in Europe. There is no reason for essentially the equivalent of 1930s Jewish people to study in essentially Hitler’s Germany in the 30s right when the smarter people were getting out.

      United States schools have many advantages over European ones. For example we don’t need a lengthy unit on WW2 era Germany, you get it for free by walking outside.

    Imagine a country, they spent billions over the last two centuries to build influence and they got to the top. Foreigners are willing to pay thousands of dollars for getting a degree in such country but no, let them go to a different country and get influenced by somebody else

      They trick is to keep some harmless ones. They’re not going to believe you don’t have social media.

      I have two social media accounts that I just use to discuss the weather and post pictures of the cat.
