I can just stop being online. I show my library card when I need to renew my stateID

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 47 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If the fascists get much further, possessing a library card will disqualify you from voting.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

You think fascists are still going to allow voting?

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That can't be true. We all know trump can't count. He's bankrupted THREE casinos! HOW THE FUCK CAN HE NOT MANAGE A CASINO, BUT CAN RIG AN AMERICAN ELECTION???

..because it's not him doing it. He's mainly a figurehead, a useful idiot. It's the smart fascists around him and behind him. Peter Thiel, Roger Stone, Russ Vought, Stephen Miller, Mitch McConnell, etc. etc. and basically all the Christian Nationalists and White Supremacists who've been working for over 30-40 years to chip away at and infiltrate every US institution. It took a long time, but they worked patiently to reach the point where this was possible.

Citizens United and the Heritage Foundation.

Successful fascists do, and yes. Don't fall into this fallacy and act early, instead of too late.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think so. Legitimate? No.

I’m so happy that I’m an elder millennial that grew up before internet. I’m 100% okay not using the internet.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm going to start looking into Meshtastic and Reticulum .. they look pretty cool.

I told a 30 yr old if this bs comes to Canada I'll just drop all internet connections. He asked what the hell I would do without internet, I replied "Hey, I grew up in the 80s, I'll just go back to the way I lived before the internet. Read books, listen to music, and use the library I have." He looked like I simply said I was gonna cut off my hand

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have enough backlog of dvds, books, console games and cds to last me the rest of my days. Wouldn’t bother me none.

Beautiful

YOU can stop being online, maybe.

We're queer, and furry, and therian, and plural. We do not have community in dirtspace/so-called "real life" (online is just as real).

Some people need the internet to survive.
