So, what's your angle here? 1984 or stop the sound?

@jeffcliff A request for comment:
In germany, we currently have lots of protests against the AFD. It is seen as anticonstitutional even by the state organs responsible, so that's a strong statement considering their general right wing leanings.
Now i know you are frequently against protests for the reason of possible covid transmission.
As far as i know, indoor activities transmit covid far more than outdoor, and protesting is an outdoor activity. Meanwhile, the status quo in germany is unmasked indoor activities are allowed and normal. For this reason i would posit that protests must only have a miniscule impact on overall covid transmissions, taking into account the more dangerous everyday activities taking place.
Furthermore, the AFD crowd is notorious for relativizing covid risks, and would, if elected, surely worsen the situation. So protesting is an investment in future possibility of covid measures.
With these points, i think it is genuinely positive to have those protests, even if we would rank covid as clear number one of dangers. (i rank climate, covid and wars about equal, as they would all end the possibility of a pleasant life if i get a direct impact, but for the sake of argument here i assume covid = #1)
Thoughts?

Der erste Irrtum ist bereits der Ansatz, dass eine Talkshow irgend eine sinnvolle Diskussion wäre oder zur Meinungsbildung beitragen könnte.
Neil Postman hat vor 35 Jahren "Wir amüsieren uns zu Tode" veröffentlicht und die Erkenntnis ist schlicht: TV == Unterhaltung.
Es geht nicht um Demokratie oder was auch immer, es geht schlicht um Einschaltquoten.

@jeffcliff btw, nuncio included me, if you have nothing by now it was blocked/censored.
@nuncio btw, can you give another profile on your account that is squeaky-clean? Someone who would not be blocked, so i can check if they are for me?
@jeffcliff Weird theory: might mstdn.social be so politically correct that they pre-censor anything?
@nuncio Did you notice that mstdn.social "hides" your profile?
I had to click "show" before i saw it, strange.

People think LLM was coined because it’s a descriptive name for technology, but really it’s just a llama without the vowels
@daswarkeinhuhn Bin grad verwirrt.
Die Landmaschinen-Firmen-Mitarbeiter da haben wenig mit tatsächlichen Bauern zu tun, soweit ich höre. Können keine Bauern gegen fair streiken, wenn keine da sind?
Und das mit was ist fair, wenn die subventioniert werden müssen, um weitermachen zu können, das ist doch eher ein global-kapitalistisches Problem, weil woanders billiger produziert werden kann (ausbeutung), aber wir eigentlich gern eigene Nahrungsproduktion hätten?
Überseh ich was, bin ich zu verwirrt?
Ich mag das arbeiten für Geld echt nicht, arbeiten für Nutzen wäre besser.

I can want the bombing in Gaza to stop, while also wanting the safety of Israeli people.
I can want the Ukrainian invasion to end, while also not wanting Russian soldiers ripped away from their families to die.
I can want a proper democracy in which a crony capitalist candidate is not forced upon people, while also not wanting to be led by fascists.
All of these things are possible without even a shadow of contradiction.
The narrative that we must pick between them is the *real* con.

@PippiPunkstrumpf Wundervolles neues Bild, übrigens!
@jeffcliff About "did you hear", the newest shit is wannsee-konferenz 2.0. AFD mainly, in this case. But not exclusively, the "Wertebündnis" also had some people in there.
People are scrambling to not-really distance thenselves, cringe is high.
Let's see how this turns out.

@VeroniqueB99 Say, are you french or do you merely speak french?
I speak a tiny bit of french and understood the general topic of what you boosted, but not the nuance.
@TURBORETARD9000 Heyyyy, my old friend, Bobby Tables!
@VeroniqueB99 Sorry, but the "responsible" stuff with large groups without agency just stirs something in me. Not something good.
@TURBORETARD9000 whoop whoop
