Perhaps it's just a leftover marketing motif?
"The spelling disk and disc are used interchangeably except where trademarks preclude one usage, e.g., the Compact Disc logo. The choice of a particular form is frequently historical, as in IBM's usage of the disk form beginning in 1956 with the "IBM 350 disk storage unit". "
I don't have a snarky something for this one, so here's another similar rhyme in history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_October_Surprise_theory
I know this is probably rhetorical, but there's probably room for further discussion. Strong overlap in the two groups with their transphobic binary gender/biological sex beliefs that is used to reinforce the "female make baby" beliefs. Also, distancing language. Hard to say if there's room for course correction. Incel results don't seem to deter incel thinking.
Defintely not. Right up there with right wingers using villians as their icons in memes. Although, I can't tell if that's a deliverate choice or ab ignorant one.
Yes, but I do wonder if he did step down would the GOP recieve the same invigoration the Dems appear to be receiving from a different contender.
Wasn't sure if this was a joke or if I didn't read the thread correctly, but the reply above yours is in regards to AOC, yeah?
Have you tried being creative?
I think in this context bullying can be expanded to its summative affect at the level of the society. This accumlative persecution is cultural and does in turn lesd to internal beliefs that one's perceived deviance, as pushed by the dominant social narrative, is unworthy. There are studies that demonstrate societal pressures/persecution does lead to increased rates of suicide. This is most notable within marginalized groups supporting the point made above.
This comment supports the notion of a larger symptom: false dichotomies boosted by a flawed FPTP electoral system. Because opinions vary, it's highly possible, as demonstrated by your argument, to have pluralistic views. But due to the effective nature of the two-party system it forces hands into two camps. In alternative systems it would allow this person with their rental properties to hold their social values and the nuance of their economic requirements (symptom of the economic system) without alienation. That's not the current reality, so I understand it's simply not where we're at. But ultimately if the social pressures "make them feel bad" so that they choose "to become a Nazi" then that still says more about their personal belief systems, suceptibility to bullying, and unwillingness to affect change. Ultimately, choosing a polticial system that persecutes immutable characteristics of individuals because those that would be victims of said persecution (or those sympathetic to their plight) are impolitely defensive is akin to, "I'm not on fire, so why are all the people for whom the fire encroaches upon screaming at me? It is mean and makes me uncomfortable and feel bad. Let them burn."
This is an important detail often missed when discussing journalism, objectivity, bias, and, unfortunately, integrity. It's a necessary piece of fabric that has been fraying for years. As another lemmy post some month ago put it, with the loss of the Cronkite era folks lost faith in the fourth estate. The tragedy is that the stratification of news by party and by medium is that anything right of CNN, most of the fringe blogosphere, and nearly all of the AM stations is that they are presenting opinionated hot takes as journalistic facts. Moreover, this tends to galvanize an already consitent voter base. It seems like without an emotional appeal to resisting consrvative ideologues the rhetoric and relative baseline just keep slipping.

I had no idea of this entity, but I work with enough similarly, highly nuanced public professionals that I recognize that the rapid and blind "immediately destroy all gubberment" approach will have widespread oh-holy-fuck consequenes if not just for the extensive brain vacuum potentially left in the wake of this type of growing mentality. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and perspective.
