    Still not American^^ Australian. Stereotype.

    Im still not buying that 99% of news on Lemmy is about US fascism and news in almost every country report about it and Australians see a meme about fascism and assume its about them, not even doubting that it could be about an other constitution. That would say way more about Australians than Americans.
    If there was a meme saying “Russian troops during the invasion:” or some shit, would Australians comment “I didnt know we are being invaded by Russia”?


  • Thats not in the least what Im saying. I actually had no idea about the wording of the US constitution before this post. But how many other fascist governments actively attacking LGBTQ rights in the last few weeks do you know? I honestly dont think anyone would have thought this was not about the US. Maybe if you havent watched the news once for the last month.





  • Yes of course I realize it and Im often saying exactly that. The problem is when capital equals political power, which results in a downward spiral where as large a portion of the population as possible is kept at the bare minimum of survival for the benefit of the few.

    The comparison is wild because financial credit score is much worse. Imagine you are a model citizen but big corp keeps you poor so youre denied basic human needs. On the other hand you are a murderer but as long as you have the moneyz you can do whatever you want.

    Of course, social credit score can be misused to push agendas and manipulate the whole popularity if the wrong people implement it. Not trying to defend it in any way, it is a terrible idea. But financial credit score is suppression of the poor by design.
