At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.
I’ve thought about creating a separate instance called Tube Save America (or something) just for the purpose of sharing federated TankieTube videos with liberals under a different URL, but that’s a lot of work just for a pretense.
tech literacy peaked idk. shit’s frustrating. boomers refused to learn for decades and kids who grew up on smartphone and ipad had their technology education stolen from them by ui design that coddled lazy old folks.
It’s no slight to the zoomers either. Growing up as computers became more prevalent, I always assumed that the generation behind me would be hyper-competent in terms of programming, software dev, etc since they were going to be surrounded by the tech from birth. I didn’t foresee functionality becoming SO abstracted that you don’t have to have much system knowledge at all, even getting all the way through a CS degree.
yeah it’s accessibility but the access was to your wallet and your data, not empowering users to understand and use computers. by trivializing everything they infantilize everyone.
I can get through to my folks with some analogizing because they actually used card catalogs and physical filing systems a million years ago, but the kids who have never seen a floppy disk don’t have any of that to build on.
Yes, they have called me a tankie before unfortunately. The family in question is 20s-30s age range. The older ones are zionists and too far gone to engage with, or antizionists and very very quiet about it.
Have you tried? I understand the trepidation, but it may be misplaced. I’ve found that most people are clueless or don’t care.
people under 30 and over 50 don’t read URLs
Lol good point.

In response to being shared a tankie.tube video?
No in response to me talking about stalin and the development of industrial capacity which turned out to be pretty crucial to fighting nazis.
