  • @geerlingguy@mastodon.social needs to sync his content. It shouldn’t cost him much (if anything). If he has viewers willing to watch him on peertube, but they simply can’t and they are forced to watch him on youtube. You can’t build viewers on peertube by waiting for others or not uploading it to it.

    That’s basically the case for everbody on youtube going “but there’s nobody on peertube”. Yeah, it’ll probably stay that way if you don’t upload to peertube. That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.







  • Mike Nicholson has learned to expect sullen faces and folded arms when he enters a classroom. “They’re like, well, this is all going to be woke rubbish,” he says, ruefully. A former English teacher, Nicholson now runs Progressive Masculinity, which organises workshops for teenage boys in British secondary schools exploring positive ways to be a man. Teenagers so rarely hear the word “masculinity” without “toxic” attached, he explains, that they’re expecting a lecture. Once they realise they can talk freely, they barely stop.

    Amen. I’ve been saying this or a while: stop using the term toxic masculinity! It’s ostracizing men. The left has to stop treating men like the enemy and stop with their purity tests.

    • Do you believe big companies are a problem?
    • Yes
    • Do you think Marxism is the only solution?
    • No
    • You’re out, fucking nazi.

    Then the left wonders why people aren’t flocking to them. They preach diversity, inclusion, openness, safe space, and so on, but if someone utters a thought that doesn’t fit the narrative you’re a nazi, a misogynist, an enlightened centrist, a capitalist, or whatever else can be thrown at you.

    All in all, a great article, but if shared in left-wing circles, there’ll probably a lot of name-calling and jokes about “men are afraid of strong women”, “they’re afraid of losing power”, “see how it feels”, and so on. It’s like people cannot find the empathy in themselves they so loudly call for in others.













  • Maybe it’s about time we have a database of business connections e.g who owns what / what is owned by whom, which companies work together and what their relationships are, where the businesses are headquartered and spread out across the globe, etc.

    It doesn’t have to have any agenda, just that data. However it could be used to then have a “boycott” app or something. “I want to boycott FAANG, their subsidiaries, and whichever other companies are owned by their CEOs”. With the app, that should be a simple ask. Or simply “I want to boycott anything Nestlé”.
