You don’t necessarily have to use the word ‘socialism’ to support socialist policies, so that could work.

And yes, while there are smaller platforms like Peertube, they’re just not widely used.

The ones that come to my mind are:

• Donate to socialist groups and causes, especially ones based in your local community. (Food banks, libraries, arts organizations, community legal funds, or individual mutual aid requests.)
• You can phone bank for socialist politicians in order to help them get elected. You don’t have to be a local to do this. I recommend Kat Abughazaleh.
• If you have a skill that can be used remotely from within the home, consider volunteering it to socialist organizations.
• You can create socialist content, but understand that your stuff is going to be algorithmically-repressed to some degree on any corporate-owned social media.

Also I’m making it a point to help small accounts where I can this year, so if you reply to this with your channel, I’ll go throw you some likes.

The conventional wisdom says that mid-day on weekdays is the best time to upload.

if you have a car, lift up the windshield wipers before it starts snowing/freezing rain

I’d say spend the $10-$20 and get a windshield cover. It will change your life, never having to scrape again.

Speed up before going up an incline, getting stuck and sliding back down is not fun

Do not stop on an incline either. If there’s a red light, run it. (safely of course.)

A real civil war wouldn’t last longer than three weeks here in the US. A small group of whacked-out people love the idea of it, but they certainly have not thought it through. It’s just a fun thought for them because they have never cracked open a history book and don’t have any real perspective regarding what war actually means.

This is the country that couldn’t go three weeks without a haircut or toilet paper in 2020. People would walk into their first empty grocery store, toting their big impressive AR-15 rifles, and then demand that the war be ended.

I get why this would bug people.

It’s a small act of legitimizing the domestic Gestapo, but we’ve already seen that the corporate social media is a-okay with platforming terrorists, Nazis, and the worst.

That’s why we’re on Lemmy instead.

Hope someone doxxes these bastards. Presumably they had to take the masks off to eat.

I remember reading a whole lot about it during the Bush and Obama admins. The War on Terror was a great added excuse for backwoods cops to pull over brown people and rob them, and minorities (of course) were far less likely to lodge a complaint about it.

Thank you for the additional info.

In that case, civil forfeiture has been practiced illegally, nationwide, for a very long time. This practice is nothing new.

A very appropriate analogy. 100%

It’s called ‘civil forfeiture’, been happening for literal decades (at least), and it’s, unfortunately, probably legal.

Gotta love how being a cop in the US is so legal that we have to give them new, extra-legal ways to exist so they feel appreciated by the peasants.

Honestly a little impressed he’s able to use the word ‘psychologically’. That’s a lot of syllables.

Objectively not the dumbest religion I’ve ever heard of.

Texas, where a dusting is tantamount to a blizzard in the northern states.

Leave it to the Donald Administration not to recognize basic laws of physics and, maybe, the necessity to make logistical changes.

Hopefully the next headline is about how an ICE vehicle slid off a cliff.

That motherfucker.

A butt plug is a gift that keeps on giving.

That’s wild to me, but good info to know.
