It means that the alarm bells went off and people paid more attention to capitalism, and voting in people that actively worked against them, because those elected officials treated people they disliked even worse. Then we got a wanna be dictator that went full “journalists are an enemy of the state” because they say mean (TRUE) things about him. Journalists now choose between being able to eat, or sounding the alarm that costs them a job (and falls on deaf ears).
Probably because in a free from authoritarian government the free press is supposed to be the ultimate checks and balances on personal liberty. When you can’t even write something negative about a leader without being dismembered in a hotel and disposed of in duffle bags like trash, that should be ringing alarms for anyone that isn’t licking boots.

That is anything but 100% reliable. Have had Sold By Amazon items with stickers on a box you know didn’t come from the Manufacturer that way.
Agreed, when you can look and see one side has the support of the KKK, Proud Boys, and the 3%ers on top of chanting “Jews will not replace us” and dubbed “very fine people” by the leader of said party. And on top of that they also have those that believe in Jewish space lasers, lizard people, and pedophiles everywhere drinking children’s blood. They believe in the “attack on Christmas” and Jews bringing Armageddon where they will all be saved.
If you can look at any of that and be like, “well the other side…” then you have chosen a side already, and it’s not center. It’s probably also time for some self reflection if that isn’t who you are.
Sync (at least for me) is broken with the latest rc build. I’m fine with this because I’m the silly that is running alpha/beta/rc builds of lemmy on my instance.
