It’s like Reddit, but not owned by a large faceless corporation intent on using it for social engineering. That being said, if you disagree with the political ideology of some instances they’ll give you a ban for racism and not qualify it. Eg don’t talk badly about Russia or Palestine on lemmy.ml posts. Generally, be nice and people will reciprocate. Except lemmy.ml.
Fuck all most likely. You’d have to have an extremely steady hand and do it as the plane was landing. But the pupil of a pilots eyeball is an extremely small target.

I’m no Marxist. I’m also not American. But I’m pretty sure it’s more about the erosion of human rights and the rise of an autocratic regime. Shit looks pretty bleak for Americans. To get an idea of what’s coming next Elon musk and Donald trump want to follow the insanity of Curtis yarvin. JD Vance and Peter Thiel want to follow project 2025. Neither end well.
As a European, it actually saddens me that America has gone this way.
The left have been warning about exactly what’s happening for years. Practically screaming it into traffic. Noone has listened, noone has taken us seriously, noone has thought to actually stand up to the oligarchs.
After a while you have to stop treating them like children who don’t know better and come to the realisation that they want the cruelty and oppression. They just don’t want it to happen to them.
Once the extrajudicial deportations start, anyone still onboard with it is by definition hostile and an active supporter of fascism. These people can’t be reasoned with.
Pretty sure it’s not about money.
I’m pretty sure the rise of fascism has a tendency to get the left riled up. So technically you are correct.
Ok, but does anyone here own a MANPADS?
Ain’t no-one calling me ginger and getting away with it!
Isn’t that how people already refer to him?
They just turn me angry.

Because being conservative is directly caused by being a gullible moron.
Back in the 90s a British doctor called Andrew Wakefield was bribed by a pharmaceutical company that made separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella to come up with a study to discredit the combined mmr vaccine. He found a bunch of parents in an antivax society and twisted the results of a very weighted questionnaire to demonstrate a link between MMR and the 'tism. It was quickly discredited, but the damage was done. He was stripped of his medical licence after that.
Facts would be an example of something they don’t like.

Do you believe the government should intervene if a popular fast food chain started adding lead paint to their special sauce? Or would that be overstepping?
A few instances are ideologically driven. So lemmy.world and lemm.ee tend to be pretty straightforward instances politically slightly left of centre but there are others like lemmy.ml and hexbear that push Kremlin/CCP propaganda. Anyone can set up an instance and federate with the other instances. But instances can also de-federate with specific instances. For example most instances have de-federated from hexbear and threads so posts made to them won’t show up for users who use lemmy.world for example.
