@Stomata @aral @element @precariousmind Which social justice oriented and totally non-fascist tech company made your laptop, bruh?

@Stomata @aral @element @precariousmind Who made your laptop? Who made the parts in your laptop?

@prma It sounds like it might be a little different from the relationship between Mastodon and ActivityPub but okay.

@freediverx @mpsi @aral @element Other countries don’t do good things or bad things solely because of America.

Like, Britain being a racist ex-colonial power with a hell of a lot of classism is not due to America, for sure.

@prma @davidgerard @aral @precariousmind @element So, I am not clear about all this stuff but Element is a coding platform, right?

@mpsi @aral @element >> Each of these situations is an individual case and it should be solved as such by citizens of the relevant countries.

(*fart noise*)

@mpsi @aral @element Ask people in France, where the cops are infamously brutal.

Or the UK, where they’ve been harassing Palestine Action protesters.

Or Canada, where the RCMP brutalizes First Nations people.

Your ignorance about this kind of thing is a YOU problem. Don’t make it out like it it’s a ME problem or the OP’s problem.

@Stomata @aral @element @precariousmind What kind of hardware are you posting from?

@mpsi @aral @element Guess what? Even in most “better” countries around the world, the cops are an armed gang.

@SuperDicq @aral @precariousmind @element Help, I’m getting mobbed by anime avatars

@cygnathreadbare @aral @precariousmind @element And somehow they are *still* better than Matrix

@mpsi @aral @element >> Your position implies that the police is an enemy and that states shouldn't have any kind of law enforcement called "police".

Where have you been, bruh?

@aral @precariousmind @element Hahaha. So next time I see someone putting down Signal and boosting Matrix, I can say “signal isn’t run by fascist bootlickers.”
