probably the same people that didn't bother voting
reducing the amount of info about our existence and our real health needs. just softening the queer community in preparation for our total and complete erasure
This truly is the beginning of the end isn't it? Ever since taking office it's just been one EO after another directed at removing any support systems for us.
The book burning has begun
Yeaaaah, the other day I was thinking about how between AI, this kind of shit and foreign missinformation campaigns the only reliable long term source of information will once again be... physical books. We ruined the internet lmao
the wealthy ruined the internet. they saw we liked it and were making something of it, and decided to turn it into profit. once it stopped turning profit (if it ever did at all) they shifted gears into using it to manipulate us. it's a deeply unfortunate truth that nazis are not as dumb as we treat them. they are experts of marketing, propaganda, and mass media. they're absolute morons at the stuff they say they're good at. don't get it twisted. they will never win a war because their decisions are based on their own lies.
but the point is.
we created something beautiful: a vast bazaar of perspectives and ideas that we could all share and access. the Rome obsessed dork in charge of facebook is probably the most responsible for breaking this beautiful thing we built and reassembling it as a propaganda machine. his greatest trick was convincing us that his propaganda machine was just going to make easier to be in this bazaar, all while tearing down the stalls with a bulldozer
It's not just books they want to burn. They're evidently not happy with stripping LGBTQ+ people of basic human rights, but now are working to erase all evidence of their very existence. We need to fight these Nazis hard now before they move to the next step.
If you're not aware of the reference, the famous book burnings during the rise of the Nazi party, were them burning the books from the Berlin sexual institution....

I hope someone downloaded all that info and it gets hosted in hundreds of other places.
I still read CDC as Cult of the Dead Cow.
