Trump’s Justice Department is hellbent on accessing our private voter information—Social Security numbers, party affiliation, driver's licenses—resulting in what experts warn would be a gold mine for hackers.

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) announced that it will no longer publish content on Elon Musk’s platform, X. The organization said it can “no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda.”

This is what the oligarchs want, us to fight against us. A wealth cap of 100 million dollars would eliminate world hunger, reverse global climate catastrophe, and bring world peace.

Eat the rich, religious or not.

I cannot wait for the investigations and trials.

Let's see these fuckers crying on the stand, begging the mercy they've never showed anyone else.

True, but when they tell me that this little pet has a different value than a cow or pig, it's as if our humanity is co-opted by rationalization.

We need lots and lots of change.

Personally my crusade is the anthropogenic mass extinction.

This is the polar fallacy, everything's black and white, there are no shades of grey.

It's like a kid who wants a cookie, but if it's not chocolate chip then the second beat cookie might as well be a bowl of borscht.

Newsom and Barry both have good points. Neither is close to maga at all.

Wait until they overhaul the mortuary elite!

Trying to increase the banality of evil is an insidious aspect of fascism.

This is the start of Zone of Interest, the American sequel.

Are you cutting fat for like a weightlifting competition or for health reasons? Or, for a different reason? It kinda depends.

Sorry to fail #fitsky with a non-answer.

That's what I meant by a workout!

Half-day off means double session in the gym.

Agreed. That you think any of us feel that way is your narrow point of view. We don't. There are fascists who do! Your narrow view lumps us into their camp, although we work tirelessly to fight those forces.

We're not saying that, tho!

That's not what we're saying.

I believe you can actually find what we mean, if you look. You're only seeing this in black and white, but you know it's quite complex.

You know our common enemies are oligarchs and fascists. Those without compassion.

Really? Do you have a link?

Believing that people are saying that is putting exaggerations into their mouths.

It's not legit. These people are trying to help. Give them some credit.

There ARE people to be angry at, but this ain't them. There are improvements to be made, and this is a good start!

*mass extinction.

Hilarious typo.

It's more responsible than the other common way to talk about the ass extinction that we are causing than the Holocene.

This one isn't just happening; we are causing it.

You misunderstood your own question, though. You asked what you call it. I said it depends on the context. You then think that it's disgusting or a rationalization, but don't realize that you are also generalizing a very narrow point of view of what that entails.

You aren't wrong. It's hard sometimes, when individuals in the unhoused community cause so much harm within and without it.

Personally I care most about the anthropogenic mass extinction, but again, not zero sum.

It depends! For example, if someone asks me to do it, then it would be called helping!

The example you gave is called a fallacy of oversimplification. Countering it with another example doesn't really help move the conversation though, does it?

But it's really a pretty good start.
