I’m just hoping we can sort things out before it gets as bad as Nazi Germany was. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but having a defeatist attitude certainly won’t help our chances.

Honestly we were screwed long before now, but yes. Its going to be a slow decline into fascism until we collectively wise up. I do think there’s a real possibility of that happening, but its going to take a lot of work.

How can people figure out email, but lemmy is just too complicated?

No, because Facebook is not explicitly designed for the sole purpose of illegal transactions. Very clear difference.

I think its slightly dishonest to frame this as him simply “creating a website”. He created a marketplace to sell drugs on, I just don’t understand the sympathy. I feel bad for low level drug dealers in jail, this guy not so much.

I would agree it could’ve been handled differently, same with every other aspect of the war on drugs. But celebrating this guy is a step too far for me.

Why are people in support of this guy?

By doing this they have effectively secured their survival. We will never stop growing them.
