@kdfrawg if the same discussion were being had about people of color, the conversation would be deemed racist. Do people not see this?
@kdfrawg I keep wondering when we'll see the Revolution. I think we're all too distracted by our portable telescreens.

@kdfrawg Revolution is the only way we'll see substantial change.

@literary one thing I've observed on Mastodon is that people quickly realized they were better off separating themselves from each other. Thus why you have some instances that are blacklisted on many instances.
In some ways, this is dangerous, because it promotes echo-chamber of sorts. On the other hand, it helps keep the peace, which given how contentious everyone is these days at the slightest provocation, is a significant benefit.

@literary just remember, unless you're paying, you're the product.

@kdfrawg both my parents were alcoholics, not to mention others in the family tree. That definitely kept me from drinking alcohol that much. Then I got the diabeetus…

@literary oh they exist on Mastodon, they're just on different instances that many have chosen to blacklist.
