Yeah basically I saw a friend turn into a Nazi because of the algorithm and just kind of logged off. I did this with TV before everyone went streaming. I don’t like being told what to think.
I haven’t entirely shut myself out but I tune in when I want to now. Otherwise I’m just going to work and doing activist shit. Freetime is video games and books.

I couldn’t recognize her by the particular photo. Lemmy is the only form of social media I really use. I mostly exist in the physical world and just keep up with the news. You’re right that I know who she is though lol
Oh thank you for reminding me. Glad to hear it’s doing well
I’m so stupid. I saw this yesterday and couldn’t wrap my head around it and moved on. Your comment proves my mind has a blind spot.
They basically think it’s being oppressive.
You’re still making some of us go crazy 😉
I literally only ask for this and people get like that guy lol I’m never sure how to get through to them.
Same except with the Legion Go.
Going through this right now
Yeah. I am Chicano but identify more with my indigenous side and am friends with plenty of Native Americans. I’ve always personally blamed Judeo-Christian thinking. The whole manifest destiny mindset is insane.
I mean read just a piece of how different things were before those religions came to this land.
A second, related factor was the absence of large domestic animals in North America, which meant that instead of the ‘intensive’, ploughing-and-manuring agriculture practised in Europe, Native American farmers used ‘extensive’ techniques, cultivating an area for a few years and then moving on to let the soil recover. Most groups - hunters and plant-gatherers as well as agriculturists - viewed land as a common resource rather than a commodity that could be owned. Tribes and families had the right to hunt, fish or grow crops in defined places, but the concept of a fenced-off parcel of land being the exclusive property of an individual would have been utterly alien to most, if not all, Native Americans. The Indian attitude towards land was part of a broader, more fundamental understanding of reality which underpinned the whole of native life. Although, again, there were enormous local variations in mythology and ritual, some of the essentials of this world-view were shared by many, if not most, cultures. Perhaps the most basic element was the belief in sacred power: the idea that everything in the universe was interconnected and possessed a spiritual force or energy that could affect the lives of ‘the people’ and of all other living things. Gaining power and the aid of powerful beings was absolutely vital: for success in hunting, plentiful crops, good health, thriving children and victory in battle. But power was also dangerous.
