It 1000% has to do with companies forcing people back into offices. People literally saw how much better their lives were not having to commute and then all of the pandemic gains being undone right before their eyes.

Damn that’s rough. Don’t mean to be an asshole but why go out to eat at all? It’s definitely not safe.

Almost like when you plan to build a city you plan more than cul de sacs.

I remember in the debate where someone mentioned job loss in “health insurance towns” as if having a call center currently contracted with a health insurance company is equivalent to living next to a mountain of coal.

🧱 We should be federating with as many instances as possible. Why limit our posting. I joined HexBear before the subreddit was banned and have barely logged on after a couple of months because it was just very limited in terms of non-political posting.

The other aspect that we forget is that r/cth was a massive influence for people to move left. The subreddit grew substantially and exponentially from a small group of posters to a massive subreddit.

Some of the best posts were people wandering in and getting dunked on. If we have the ability to just push a few people left that is massive.

Also access to more active hobby forums from the same instance would be much appreciated. Especially programming focused ones. The one nice thing about Reddit, as awful as it was, was the fact that you could get everything in one place. I could choose what I wanted in my feed without having to leave the site. It would be nice to have that back and not need to maintain multiple accounts on multiple instances

Imo I’ve definitely felt the same way. The way I combated it was spending less time on screens in general. It feels like your brain is rewired to appreciate the real world more.

I think in that case you need to move on people won’t necessarily see through propaganda until it affects them personally. They are living a comfortable or at least comfortable enough life that they don’t really see the need to change things. Or if they do they feel it’s impossible. People need to be open to talk about it if someone isn’t they probably won’t listen.

Nah this isn’t really bad. It’s just watching the lectures of someone who died. If anything it’s very good. I’m sure someone that’s a professor would be happy that their knowledge lives beyond them. You don’t just discard someone’s work and knowledge because they die.

I think it’s probably a false flag attack like the planned operation Northwood in the 60s or a Qanon 5G nut because it was near one of the main AT&T data centers for the country. The only other piece that makes it odd is the suicide bombing aspect. That seems almost too polished as if the intelligence services (CIA, FBI, NSA, etc) were trying to get rid of a human asset.

Honestly a little bit it seems to be spreading outside of just far right people and into the mainstream sphere. Part of Q believes that there is a war with China along the Canadian border and tried to storm the Oregon statehouse because of it. They believe there are 50,000 Chinese troops that are fighting in Maine. It’s only a matter of time that something bad will happen. It seems like the worst has yet to come. This is only the beginning.
