How come it's always nazi apologists with these takes..

Ok big brain - who's gonna provide those social benefits in a country with an aging population and no immigration?

This sounds like the whole Brexit thing where folk voted to keep immigrants out and were then shocked when social services went even more to shit when they realized half of NHS staff were foreigners...

If you were arguing to solve global inequality and climate change by dismantling western imperialism and by radically reducing their material consumption so that people didn't need to emigrate - then we would agree - but your current stance just sounds like social security for me but not for thee..

You're equating Cambridge Analytica's targeted psychological manipulation based on secretly harvested personal data with ordinary citizens debating each other. Do you really see no difference between billion-dollar campaigns using Al to exploit psychological vulnerabilities and regular people discussing politics? Who exactly is doing the 'convincing' in your version of democracy?

So you're acknowledging that it's a problem of wealth extraction but your proposed solution is for left wing parties to adopt a more anti-immigration stance instead of resolving the issue of inequality?

Right wing parties platform on isolationist policies (Brexit) while massively boosting globalization (how there's now more migration post-Brexit than pre) and using migrants as a scapegoat for people's economic issues.

Pinning the issue of globalization on migrants is like putting the blame on the exploited for the crimes of the exploiters.

Globalization isn't bad because it allows people to resettle, escape political and environmental instability in their own countries - but because neoliberal interests specifically funnel away wealth from their local lower classes and destabilize poorer foreign nations to provide cheap labour for their businesses at home.

So instead of saying how great Denmark is for adopting "zero asylum" policies why not spend your energy advocating for wealth redistribution on a global scale? I agree, ideally people wouldn't need to migrate to richer counties - but I don't see the same "anti-globalist" parties advocating for paying reparations or providing zero debt aid to poorer nations instead either.

Denmark's approach seems to prioritize protecting their domestic welfare system rather than addressing the global systems that create inequality. They've maintained many of the same neoliberal international policies while building higher walls around their own social safety net - exemplifying a "freedom for me, but not for thee" approach.

Which leads to the real crux of the issue - can a truly progressive approach stop at national borders, or does it require addressing the international systems that create inequality and drive migration in the first place?

Wait, you're both saying people voted for Brexit out of their own free will but also that advertising doesn't persuade people? How do you explain Cambridge Analytica literally influencing millions of people to vote for Brexit? (a vote won by 2% margin btw) - like why would the right-wing establishment pay for ads if not to sway public opinion?

Do you really think neoliberals spent millions to inform people why Brexit is good for them actually because that was factual information people couldn't have found otherwise?

The issue here is decades of neglecting the wellbeing of citizens

Yes? But what does this have to do with immigration? Do you genuinely believe that immigrants are what's causing the decay of citizen wellbeing and not as you say "neoliberal governments grounding low and middle class workers into dust"?

You see the issue but you side with the neoliberals on their preferred solution?

the app is called AltTab..

This is peak neo-fascist dystopia and it reveals the true nature of anti-immigration policy of humiliation and alienation.

The human rights and dignity violations, be it done with chains and cameras or with campaigns and administrative hearings - share the same hateful roots.

Don't let this shift the overton window such that "civil immigration measures" become acceptable - push back on it now before it becomes the new normal.

My main issue with organic maps is the lack of public transit routing. There seems to be a way to use GTFS - but you have to manually download the data and build the app..

Long term there might be a way - but unfortunately not ready yet

Edit: I found OsmAnd that has public transit routing 🙌

You know what would reduce it by almost 50%? Not spending half your salary on rent...

Maybe then people could afford solar panels, insulation, heat pumps and general home improvements with their newly discovered 100% increase in spending

you went from "Lemmy made me like this" to "I don't give a fuck about anything on Lemmy" in one swoop - fucking touch some grass if you really don't give a fuck nerd.

"look what you made me do" - I'm not saying you're an abuser - but that is literally the most classic abuser rhetoric...

and if you're saying Lemmy "canceling" you made you right-wing - you were always right wing, love

denied was implied by comparing musk's salute to that of the pope waving his arm - but fair, she didn't outright say it

still the timing is most definitely not coincidental - but I can see how that can seem that way if you didn't browse xitter when it happened

her tweet was made a day after musk's salute and consequent "funny" nazi puns - alongside posts denying the salute as sincere, therefore enabling nazi normalization

the issue isn't if JK is a swastika waving nazi - she most likely isn't - the issue is she's siding with fascists because they share the same hateful rhetoric and is willing to defend and normalize their behavior because she sees them as allies and the "woke leftists" as the enemy.

we couldn't agree on an illustrator. He wanted Eva Braun, but the sample sketches he showed me were shit.

If he wanted Eva Braun to be the illustrator why would he show JK his own sketches and not hers? Why even mention Eva at that point?

Idk but imma head out as I don't have the energy to dissect a poorly written attempt at a joke by a known nazi apologist..

I mean Eva Braun was a photographer so not sure why her sketches would have been good? But I guess she was trying to shoehorn hitler being a bad artist but just didn't know how to tie it in?

Call be old-fashioned but I prefer my jokes to be funny because they're clever not because "haha hitler couldn't draw amirite"

Also just to note - that "trans" account posting AI slop is actually a terf masquerading as a trans person to "own the libs"

she did retweet a joke minimizing elmo's salute... - multiple times..

nooo, you don't understand - she was just saying this a day after the inauguration to defend musk doing his nazi salute - I'm sure all of this has nothing to do with her doing trans Holocaust denial either...

damn snowflakes always getting triggered by lighthearted fun from nazi apologists... 😤😤😤

Thank you as well, have a nice day :)
