  • Have you seen the fucking world lately my dude? Far right racist parties are gaining support in almost every western country. These ideas are GAINING right now, not losing, and in massive parts due to private companies engagement driven algorithms driving users to more and more radical content. Young white men are getting more and more conservative. That’s a fact. And who the fuck do you think keeps electing racist and bigoted politicians, genius ?

    How the fuck do you think someone like Ron DeSantis can win an election, if bigotry and racism is apparently on the decline ? How come far right racist parties like the GOP in the US, or reform in the UK or the AfD in Germany keep polling higher every new election cycle, if these ideas are supposedly on the decline ?

    How come right wing politically motivated violence is increasing almost everywhere if these views are so self defeating ?

    You’re literally fucking delusional my dude. You’re utterly blind to the reality of the world.



  • If you think racist talk by private citizens doesn’t spread racist and bigoted ideas, then you’re not worth talking too.

    That’s one of the dumbest and nonsensical things I’ve ever heard anyone say. I’m genuinely flabbergasted that a functional adult could believe something so ridiculously and obviously idiotic.

    You really think people like Andrew Tate or Ben Shapiro have zero role in spreading racist and bigoted ideals ? Fucking really ? Ya think Fox News has never convinced anyone of bigoted shit ? Ya think Alex Jones didn’t make people call in DEATH THREATS to the parents of murdered children ?

    Incel forums have literally motivated mass shooters, you gonna tell me those incel forums were government run, or what ?

    But yeah, sure. Racist and bigoted talk outside of government institutions is totally inconsequential.

    Whiche eventually stops the content from being free. Have you any idea how expensive video server hosting is ? YouTube hosts billions of hours of videos and makes them available to the public, and does all of that entirely for free.

    If you think they would have even the shadow of a glimmer of hope of funding that entirely with unobtrusive banner ads, then frankly you’re deluded.

    You can have ad free content or free content. You can’t have both, that’s not how shit works. And if you’re willing to pay for ad free content, that is already an option with Patreon, Nebula or YT Premium.

    Guess telling people the truth hurts.

    WA location sharing (at least on Android) sucks ass though. They haven’t properly implemented the notification Android requires apps to give for background location access, so it exclusively works if WA is running in the foreground. It just stops updating if the person sharing locks their phone or closes WhatsApp.

    Google Maps sharing is much better it also allows you to select any time limit in 1 hour steps, or permanently (until it’s turned off again), instead of the WA presets of ¼, 1 or 8 hours.

    You can live location share with google maps, you can do it for a set amount of time or until you turn it off again.

    Wouldn’t be the weirdest thing for spouses to have it permanently turned on for each other.
