Someone’s made an edit

In criminology, the broken windows theory states that visible signs of crime, antisocial behavior and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.[1]

You’ve pretty much exemplified this but with doomerism instead of crime. Just because things are turning to shit doesn’t mean we should encourage other problems that we know need tackled. There’s enough plastic around us, everywhere, all of the time, without encouraging people to go out and buy more to spread around.

Your clothes are likely plastic, your food is in plastic, your phone is plastic, your water bottle is likely plastic, almost every item of the modern world has plastic somewhere. Even if it doesn’t look like plastic, it could be plastic. It’s fucking disgusting.

This isn’t a shitpost, it’s an advert in disguise.

Yay! Spreading plastic arbitrarily around the environment, what fun!

Decades later and I’m still emotionally scarred. *shiver*

I really hope that’s just poor phrasing…

They didn’t move the goal post. You used one event to compare another. It is perfectly legitimate therefore to talk about the original event. You may wish the most recent US event to be the topic of discussion, which is fine, but that doesn’t mean it’s illegitimate for the original Chinese event to also be discussed.

If you didn’t want Tiannamen Square to be discussed you shouldn’t have posted an image of Tiannamen Square.

Tailscale should get you over that hurdle I would think.

And spent 10,000% more on salaries for all of those people than was “lost” by the music industry.

It’s a sick society

Ah, that would explain it then. I didn’t realise it was hosted on imgur (Voyager makes it look like it’s hosted natively). Imgur is blocked in the UK because we’re not much better than America when it comes to authoritarianism, we’re just more subtle.

failed to load media 🥲

Anyone got a mirror?

they can always stop being Nazis

I think that’s something a lot of right wing people struggle to comprehend.

Left wing violence is targeted toward those who would do us harm, i.e. Nazis. It’s self defence.

Right wing violence is targeted toward those who they believe is causing harm. In their minds it’s the same justification, self defence.

The difference is you can choose to be intolerant or not, you can choose to treat others with kindness or not, you can choose to be a Nazi or not. You can’t choose whether you’re gay, black, trans, disabled, Jewish, whatever form of “other” they have chosen.

Obviously there’s also the fact that being “other” isn’t harmful in any way. But that’s a separate rabbithole of delusion that needs tackled.
