184·10 days agoNope. I’m definitely not a bot.
I regularly post a lot of articles from some websites, but you will notice my patterns can be extremely irregular. There are some articles that I don’t find interesting/attractive, so I just don’t share them.
However, I do find the rise of sophisticated bots worrying.
I’m posting an absolute shit ton of content to support Lemmy.
You aren’t the first one to notice :)
They are not Bezos-rich, but for Charlottesville, Virginia, they are rich.
But they are rich homeowners. This isn’t vilification. It’s just a description.
191·28 days agoOh hey, you’re back. 954 posts in 19 days. Still absolutely normal. Nothing suspicious here…
I’m posting an absolute SHIT-TON of content because I want to support Lemmy.
I will spare you the pain of reading through all my Lemmy posts to try to build my psychological profile (some people will do that). There is no need for it. You can just ask me.
I speak fluent french and lived in Canada for a while. I really hate car dependency and I’m very worried about pollution. I oppose corporate power concentration and I want stronger labor rights. But I lean centrist socially. I have a lot of free time and try to encourage people to engage in local politics. I support open source software like Gimp, Krita, Inkscape, VLC, LibreOffice. I don’t like AI.
Any question you have ?
Sure. I just added the link in the body.
29·28 days agoIf you want to see how ignorant some voters can be, there is really no better evidence than Ted Cruz.
I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.
- His father owns an oil company in Canada.
- He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids.
- He attended Harvard University and Princeton
- His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs
This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? 🤦🤦🤦.
9·1 month agoAs a non-Brit, I watch what’s happening like it’s a slow motion car wreck.
France has 2 round parliamentary elections.
-
First round: You vote for someone to represent your constituency. Only 2 candidates remain.
-
Second round: Two weeks later, it’s the second round. You vote for one of the 2 candidates that won the first round. The winner becomes an MP.
Throughout France, Marine Lepen candidates won 35% to 40% of the votes in the first round. They qualified for the second round. Luckily, in the second round, citizens rallied against Lepen candidates, voting for whoever was their opponent.
What will happen if Nigel Farage gets 35% or 40% 😲? You don’t have a second round…
If France used the FPTP voting system, Marine Lepen would be ruling the country with a huge majority in Parliament.

I’m not British, so I should not get involved in British Politics. But privatizing water was a mistake of epic proportions. Keir Starmer needs to have some guts and nationalize it. Enough is enough.
The trash media (The Sun, Daily Hate Mail) talks about poor people stealing welfare, while corporate financiers stole BILLIONS OF POUNDS from you and your families:

Who privatized water? Margaret Thatcher.
After her time in office, she became a lobbyist for tobacco companies:

They even paid her birthday party:
Philip Morris’s chief executive, Geoffrey Bible, will chair the dinner. A spokesman for the company said: “Philip Morris is writing the Thatcher Foundation a cheque to cover the cost of the party. That leaves all the money made, like ticket sales, as profit to the foundation.”

It says it all, doesn’t it?
Please take your water back!!! Write to your MPs.
