It's really consumerism.

The real world example is how Democrats voted against Bernie twice.

It shows where their priorities lie, and it's not with the working class.

To think otherwise is to be a useful idiot.

This person and his rhetoric are why we only get to choose politicians that fight for the ruling class.

He's part of the two-pronged strategy, and the disparity in wealth will not decrease until there are fewer people like him.

You're part of the problem.

It's a two-pronged strategy.

Our representatives don't represent us.

Those people that you get up in arms in online arguments defending? They're put there by the ruling class to take advantage of your ignorance.

The people who actually want to solve these problems are people we've never heard of because the ruling class makes sure they get no recognition.

I'd say about 1-2% of votes go towards politicians that fight for the working class.

New Yorkers love robber barons and maximizing profit at every turn.

Why would we expect them to get angry at businesspeople enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else if that's what they all want to do?

Why do people in major cities like New York and Las Vegas love getting conned?

Badges and "identification" can be bought at dollar stores.

Nobody is going to be able to check their authenticity in the middle of a firefight, and by the time you let criminals enter your house to show you their "ID", it's already too late.

Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.

I wonder if this could be cited in court in the case of someone accidentally killing ICE agents, thinking they were robbers or worse.

Texas gun law requires going through a bit more effort to legally buy handguns instead of long guns, so this is very plausible.

Transparency?

Nice.

Doesn't surprise me that this sort of this is starting to take off in Houston.

That's not true. There's one bot that routinely posts to news communities called "MicroWave" and there are consistently people engaging with its posts.

Most people don't even recognize it's a bot.

For a most niches on lemmy, there aren't alternative communities that are more active.

Revolution should be the result of wealth inequality.

People should have a voice even if they use it to say things you don't like.

Edit: These downvotes make me glad none of you are in a position of power outside of your internet circles.

As I've said before, these communities already have nobody engaging in them. Hiding posts from bots will also hide posts from this bot.

This is disgusting.

I can also see how such 'tests' can be used as a political tool to take away children from people who hold beliefs that the current barons don't like.

Thanks. This is interesting, but it looks like all of the communities are locked and only the bot gets to post.

I'm also referring to something that just copies the posts, but doesn't include the comments for either side.

It probably doesn't make much sense to mirror /r/technology to /c/technology since that community is already popular and self-sustaining on lemmy.

There are countless other 'niche' communities that have no posts for months, however. There already isn't anyone engaging in these communities and it's unlikely that that will change because nobody wants to manually make posts that next to nobody is going to see. It's cyclical.
