  • Well, a known fascist tactic is making examples out of randomly chosen people who allegedly said the wrong thing in the wrong place. The amount of noise doesn't matter in that case. They'll just pick people at random they can persecute publicly in an attempt to scare everyone into clamming up and obeying.

    At that point, there is no point in censoring yourself, because they will target you randomly regardless. At that point, there will be no point in saying or not saying anything online, because the only recourse will be [removed by lemmy.world admins] until the last one is [removed]

  • The US government and its oligarch pals has so much data on each of us already that if you haven't been completely sanitary with your internet usage from the start, you're already in a database, and there's no point in worrying about it now.

    I agree with the sentiment of this post, but let's face it: if we get to the point where they're sending secret police to everyone who ever said "fuck Trump" online, we're beyond fucked, and electronic defenses will be moot at that point. Using euphemisms for Trump and Musk won't save you from their surveillance.

    Right now, it's important to be outspoken about every one of their abuses, to name and shame them for as long as it's still allowed, because the moment it's not, there won't be anything left to defend.

  • It's far too late for all of my accounts already, and I'm not going to waste my time going back through them and scrubbing every instance of me talking about how Elon Musk buries his four inch cock up to the balls in Donald Trump's throat while Jeffrey Bezos pegs them both with Clint Eastwood's Oscar statues every other Sunday, but he's not allowed to cum unless Vladimir Putin says so over the Zoom window he watches from.

    Sisko/Benny theory

    So we learn at the end that Sisko's birth was engineered by the Prophets, right? That he was always destined to be the Emissary because that's how it had to be, from the nonlinear perspective of the Prophets.

    So what if they based him on a man from Earth centuries before (perhaps one of his father's ancestors)? He does say at one point that maybe God is trying to tell him to quit writing and go into the restaurant business, betraying a love for cooking, which maybe he passed on to his children - and maybe he passed this on to his descendants, one of whom moved to New Orleans and opened a Creole kitchen, which would stay in the family for many generations...

    They chose this man because by some quirk he had genuine future-sight and saw forward into the life of Sisko because of their connection established by the Prophets - creating a self-sustaining loop.

    Now of course that doesn't explain why all of the people in Benny's life are so similar to Sisko's people (or is it the other
