Abusing the term "Orwellian"
On the #rightwing abuse of the term "#Orwellian" counterpoised against what Orwell was actually writing about in "1984" https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/books/2021/01/11/using-term-orwellian-wrong-george-orwell-explainer-1984/6616511002/

White anguish and fascism
White anguish over demographic trends placing White people in the minority in the US, and fear of losing White privilege are inseparable from incipient #fascism
The news is making rounds so I thought I'd toss this here too, as this is likely to be more than a few of y'all's thing, but the Smithsonian has a 100% public domain/CC0 repository of art, 3D models, you name it:

@CaribenxMarciaX Yep, it is as I would suspect. Those insidious bastards.
@omanreagan Yep, Youtube is one such example of a great tech promise getting subverted for the sake of capitalist demands.
It's a bad day to be a fash, uspol, Parler hack review
@CaribenxMarciaX I have to wonder if that instance is going to be discussing praxis that can materially help the black community, or if it is just aesthetics that those anti-black actors are putting on in order to launder and rehabilitate their image.

parler apparently got absolutely pwned, if this is reliable. fucking everything they have got crawled, including drivers license photos for some users
Decentralized alternatives to shit like twitter and Facebook is the most important thing for the internet moving forward, and I really wish people would learn to navigate and appreciate what tech like this is instead of having one bad experience then bolting back to a corporate owned platform that exists to do nothing but profit off giving you bad experiences.
@witchfynder_finder They got donked by an enby
It's a bad day to be a fash, uspol
@Aarkethrix Though, it's a lean, not an absolute.
@Aarkethrix It is worth mentioning that the act of running an instance presents a financial and skillset barrier that favours white males due to socioeconomic factors.
@KitRedgrave I'd buy this game.
