Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: In the Soviet Union, they considered being against the state a mental illness and would lock you up for the crime of being mentally illEnglish
3·2 days agoWe need a diagnosis instead for people who are needlessly authoritarian and intolerant.
It’s called being a “fascist”.
(But seriously, is there no diagnosis for it?)

212·2 days agoODD is an excuse diagnosis. It’s literally “You rightfully criticise people for being authoritarian and us cops and fascists don’t like that, boohoo”.

Hell, Nazi Germany also had a few elections. All extremely rigged, of course.

12·7 days agoA good one is to check beforehand if the account’s new, hijacked, or such, and then not respond on them in any way other than blocking and reporting.

235·7 days agoYup. Putin is the prime cause behind much of the world’s reactionarism, in my opinion: he is a despot and oligarch, and has helped other dictators into power.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•If I keep js disabled and then use extension will it still be a fingerprinting issue?
2·8 days agoAnother thing, I’m wondering. What if it’s not so much being un-unique as much the sum of the fingerprintable things looking not strange compared to others. Chances are that a lot of people also use some ad blockers, some common hardwares, etc.

82·11 days agoEven the rich know socialism just works, that’s why they have it.
I’d also settle for the billionnaires getting a French revolutionary treatment. It’s high time the reactionary leeches get what they fucking deserve: they must pay their taxes, hand over all their media ownership to the public, and a shitton more. And if they don’t want that, then by police force, or by the will of the people.
Feeling like this is a gliding scale though. What’s next, a surveillance state?
