  • You’re right, but I just noticed something about that (I’m probably very late to the party here): so an endpoint of unregulated capitalism is that ownership is limited to a few, who almost certainly acquired ownership through some form of class exploitation and theft. Or, to oversimplify it…ownership is theft. Hmm, sounds familiar.




  • ok sure but that doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for all people in all situations. you’ll notice that they did, in fact still post it - they didn’t censor it. they just tagged it NSFW.

    there’s been plenty of times when I’m bored at work, and could totally get away with browsing whatever on lemmy; but I don’t feel like having a conversation with HR because someone walks by my desk.

  • Ok, fuck them. But shutting down this nonprofit organization doesn’t directly affect their bottom line. It may eventually have an indirect effect.

    My point is that by shutting down, the only obvious direct effect is that advertisements are now more likely to appear adjacent to bullshit hate propaganda. This doesn’t substantially hurt the advertisers in a large way - it hurts people more because it elevates the visibility of hate speech. Why would you think that’s good? This does absolutely fuck all to stop advertising or advertisers.
