Musician. I hate fascists. I suck at arguing.
Erik Uden 🚩Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital “library”.
Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.
Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol
(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)

Less than 18 years old
18 to 27 years old
28 to 39 years old
40 or more years old

ben dafydd gillardI hoped it would blow up on the pad, so I'm disappointed it got as far as it did. #SpaceX

1. Elon Musk is a fascist, enabling fascism, hate, and disinformation online and causing unnecessary misery for humanity
2. StarLink is polluting space
3. SpaceX is wrecking the previously quiet and cheap-housing area of Boca Chica
4. disregard for wildlife
A selfish operation led by a selfish narcissist to privatize space.
