Well, Labour are wrong about thinking voters liked their plan. Voters liked their familiarity. Voters didn’t read Labour’s plan.

but voters do want someone who’s going to address the bread and butter problems they’re facing.

Nah mate, common myth. The Greens had a way better plan for the bread and butter problems - create a government department for building housing, end negative gearing, cap rent increases, put dental in medicare, build free GP clinics, 50c transport fares, wipe all student debt, 800$ back to school payment, free school lunches, make supermarket price gouging illegal, increase wages.

What voters want, is something comfortable and familiar that makes them feel like they’re opposing Trump, without having to actually think or learn anything. They want the status quo.

I hope Labour learns from this and starts leaning hard into the culture war. More trans rights please!

Nobody wants to let Dutton be another Trump

Trump is dismantling the US government so his billionaire friends can buy it. He’s not building a global populist movement, he’s siezed power and he’s using it for petty, selfish ends. The whole world can see it plainly

The rise of fascism in the US may have heralded worldwide rises in conservativism for a time, but now that Trump has absolute power, he’s not bothering to hide his intentions. It’s swung back the other way, now the US is making the world less fascist

Fascism’s win condition is always its own destruction. It’s a death cult. It can’t win worldwide because it promotes selfish leaders who sabotage the movement for personal enrichment

It’s gonna be okay, everyone

That’s not what paragraph 9 is about.

What did you think of paragraph 9 in My article?

Me neither. I always post My own medium blog like it’s a MySpace post. You don’t see Me claiming it’s anything it isn’t.

Yeah. You can read why in My manifesto, linked above.

Here’s a manifesto on how reality is an inherently contradictory and conservative social construct

Pataphysics is a valid scientific discipline.

The deists and Deadpool are right, though.

I think you should keep reading for 10 more words. I elaborated on exactly what you’re talking about in the 10 words after that quote.

How long would you say it takes to change your username and pfp on Matrix if you know exactly what you’re doing and have done it plenty of times before? 20 seconds? Pluralkit can do a proxy in 2 seconds. 20 seconds is not an acceptable delay to sending a chat message to most people, but 2 seconds is.

And what if two members of a system are in a conversation, possibly with a third person? Is it going to retroactively change the username and pfp on the old messages? Cause that would turn the conversation to complete nonsense. Imagine I’m having a discussion with some friends, two of whom are in a system, I step away to go to the toilet, and when I come back 5 minutes later I can’t tell who was talking in the last 5 minutes.

Well, there are a lot of discord users who are allies and believe in supporting others, and that’s why

No, I don’t know.

No, I definitely have friends who are allies and who care about accessibility for their friends.

That’s really strange, this seems like the sort of Lemmy instance where people would care about accessibility the minute they heard about the issue

Plurality is a lot more common than most people think. The existence of pluralkit exposed a LOT of people to the idea of plurality and got them realising they were already plural. Myself included.

It’s kind of like how a lot of lesbians didn’t understand their own identities until they heard Katy Perry sing “I kissed a girl”.

Furthermore, imagine you’re on a server with 500 active members, and there are 5 systems who use pluralkit. That server has probably had the “why are you a bot” “I’m using pluralkit” conversation dozens of times. All 500 people know how important pluralkit is. On Discord, there are dozens of allies for every one system.
