o_0, to solarpunk in Electorialism (tempted to vote biden)

I say wait for election day and flip a coin, that’s basically how elections are determined, the arbitrary whims of the margin of people in swing states who go out to vote or not. You’re individual vote does not make any difference in the absence of mass organized action, and the Democrats are terrified of exactly that kind of mass organization because otherwise they wouldn’t be so secure in running corporate puppets like Biden.

If you wanna be realistic about it Voting in any state other than a swing state is basically ‘throwing your vote away’ : Vote Blue in a Blue State you’re just throwing it in a pile, Vote Blue in a Red State it’s just as much a symbolic protest vote as anything else. Only in a swing state will your Vote make a tangeable difference which is why those are the only states either party even campaigns in for the most part.

true. I know a lot of people are in similar situations, that’s what kept me on facebook for years. I’ll just say at this point, twitter could just die any day now, starting DMing people if you haven’t already and find another way to say in touch.

Personally I prefer to just not pay for anything exept internet and torrent and stream everything for free, much cheaper, no restrictions

I had a conversation with a cryptographer who worked for Wickr he says none of the DoD or other government agents he knew trusted Signal 🤔 - personally I use Signal with my mom or personal friends as like the bottom tier of security, because metadata is a real thing, they don’t have to actually know what you’re talking about. Just using a phone number itself tells you most everything feds need to know if they’re really after you.

if you actually want privacy use XMPP

o_0, to worldnews in China's fertility rate drops to record low 1.09 in 2022
@o_0@slrpnk.net avatar

Yeah Right, China Survived the Great Leap Forward but a marginal decline in fertility rates will lead to absolutely chaos lol

at this point, with twitter being inaccessible to non logged in user, the ‘public square’ thing is totally done,. Get off twitter now. There are alternatives.

Westerners love to fantasize about how “China is Collapsing” while their economies are in complete disarray. I’m no defender of their State Capitalist Police State, but China’s definitely doing better than the US is lmao and they certainly are in a better

Like all this shit about “demographic collapse” is complete bullshit. Isn’t it a good thing that the population of the world’s most populous country is decreasing? Doesn’t that mean more resources to go around? Wouldn’t people in China then enjoy a higher Standard of Living, Cheaper food and Housing? At the very least they’ll be in a better shape to handle the climate catastrophe we’re going into. Something the West is not even trying to address.

But yeah China is collapsing, okay.
