Dear USA,

Donald Trump is exactly who you are.

Donald Trump is simply the #noFilter USA the rest of the world was forced to become intimately familiar with long ago; one dropped bomb and one lost family member at a time. The same USA Native Americans and African Americans have always known.

Until you fully grasp that and start learning about, accepting responsibility for, and atoning for how your country came to be and for your crimes throughout history both at home and abroad, this is what you will remain.

“This is not who we are.”

Bullshit.

This is exactly who you are and who you’ve always been.

You want to change?

Start by accepting that.

People who believe in magic sky fairies shouldn’t be in charge of anything, let alone nuclear weapons.

This is the only correct action to take when a web site asks you for age verification.

Tell all your friends.

> Are we building AI features? Yes, because lots of users are asking for them.

WHICH USERS STEVE

SHOW US THESE USERS

NOBODY ELSE AT MOZILLA SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THEM

You don't have to be perfect, but every step you take in the right direction helps:

X, Insta, TicToc -> https://joinfediverse.wiki/Fediverse_projects
Microsoft -> Install Linux on it
AI -> ask intelligent humans instead, e.g. #AskFedi
Google -> https://noai.duckduckgo.com
GoogleMail -> @Tutanota
iPhone -> jailbreak it, use it until its dead, get a Fairphone with @e_mydata
Amazon video, Disney+, Netflix, Spotify, etc. -> Torrents
Google/Microsoft/Apple calendar -> physical calendar
Zoom -> meet friends IRL, or use @signalapp
Whatsapp -> Signal, or better yet @mollyim
omnivorism -> vegetarianism, veganism, freeganism, flexitarianism, ... (just consume fewer animal products and save food)
car -> public transit, bike, car-sharing
flying -> discover the beauty of your closer surroundings by train
job -> general strike
consumerism -> sufficiency
despair -> collective effectiveness & empowerment

if you've been dealing with Jake Archibald, the Firefox "developer relations" guy trying to appease anti-AI-in-Firefox sentiment on Mastodon and Bluesky, this thread documents Jake's style of corporate DARVO in detail

he is here *only* to waste your time

here’s some unfair warnings if you’re considering boosting or interacting with that one mozilla dev account or mozilla in general really if you have interacted with them and gotten an icky feeling, you’re not alone later posts in this thread will be CWed. there is danger in interacting with the account in question. many of these posts feature someone named Jake; as you will see later, Jake and the Mozilla account are the same person in every way that matters.

“Gaza’s total population ‘fell by about 254,000 people, a 10.6% decline compared with pre-conflict estimates’, the research notes.”

Cue a Zionist in my mentions asking “but can you really call it a genocide if almost
90% of them are still alive?”
