I mean, when you think about it, it’s a fitting name since the US hasn’t been defending itself in any war since WW2. the only way the name could be better was if they called it the Department of Offense, or maybe the Department of Industrial Scale War Crimes

oh boo hoo

I ain’t interested in getting into an argument about what kind of rape is better.

nothing with a power dynamic like that can ever be consensual.

he did, he admitted that before we ever elected him the first time.

there’s no humanity left in Isreal

you’re right that I was wrong, fedidb shows dbzer0 as fourth, not third. but it doesn’t even show hexbear, so I completely forgot about them.

I thought anarchism

that’s because you have never read anything about anarchism and have no idea what it is. anarchism as a philosophy requires solidarity. and solidarity means a community coming together to protect itself from those bad actors who wish it harm. the freedom of association that is a core part of anarchism also means the freedom to disassociate. banning pug and goat was our community disassociating itself from someone who doesn’t wish us well and doesn’t want to be a part of us anyway. anyone who is on our matrix knows that everyone there was very supportive of the way the dbzer0 and AN admins have taken care of the situation and protected the peace of our community. nothing that has happened is at all at odds with anarchism, any more than it would be at odds with liberalism or communism.

neither pug nor goat have lost their ability to take part in fedi, an ability they have made good use of by posting constant rage posts in their own comms. a couple of sad little kings, presiding over their sad little hills.

is “taking on admins” what we’re now calling PugJesus and (self-proclaimed member of neo-nazi forums) goat rage-posting on comms they moderate?

lol. lmao even.

teeny tiny instances

that’s third largest Lemmy instance to you. but nice try.

There’s no such thing as overkill.

Any of the ~15 most used distros is stable when you learn how to not fuck it up.

Yeah, well if they’re new then they don’t know how to not fuck it up, now do they? Besides, in this day and age, you shouldn’t have to tip-toe around an OS to stay on its good side, it should just work.

Welcome to the glorious Russian Empire, comrade.

rather, damn the democrats who stayed home, and damn the ones in congress who are helping republicans and trump facilitate this.

when the history books are written, they will remember liberal collaboration in this holocaust.

nah, that’s clearly gray-400 and gray-600.

is this some genX meme that I’m too millennial to understand?

oh I bet that rubs trump the wrong way. he just hates anything that doesn’t work out like he imagined.

I love how concerned democrats are that people might recognize the fascists kidnapping people. It’s so touching knowing they care.

the most traumatic bit of anime for me was the animatrix where the human pilot got ripped out of his mech and carefully torn to pieces by a machine while he’s screaming in terror for his mom to save him.

that was traumatizing shit to watch as a kid.

what, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck?
