Nobody is spooked by anything.

This is just purely and demonstrably false. Not only it is wrong from a historical point of view, but it also ignores current political conversations in which "Leftists/Communists" are used as a scare tactic.

Many (like me) have the opinion that Marxism is a trash ideology

I see. What specific criticisms do you have for Marxism then?

Considering most .world users are (former) Reddit users, it makes sense they'd get easily spooked by *insert thunder noises and ghost sounds:

MARXISM! UuUuHh!!

That platform has turned quite to the right with their moderation and acceptance

"Nuance is for Communists!!" /s

Then let's get ready for a ww2 game where you save Nazis instead of killing them. And then you shoot the American troops and call them "woke libs" /s

What about all the other comments in this post that keep pointing out that the author of the comic is a Nazi? You really seem not to care about that detail

By the same logic, if I were to show you a photo of a child kissing a puppy, you'd be able to "demonstrate" that all humans are children and essentially loving and caring creatures? That logic is not logic-ing, friend

Looking back at the 1st Industrial Revolution, do you feel like we are also going through a new Digital Revolution considering new technologies like AI, Virtual Reality, 3D printing etc?

Lmao serious 'fuck you' energy.

Out of curiosity I went to the project's page and saw more info on why they don't take donations:

Free. Open-source. For users by users. No donations sought. If you ever want to contribute something, think about the people working hard to maintain the filter lists you are using, which are available to use by all for free.

I'd like to add to the sentiment of this post by saying that if you ever used any of those amazing websites, I'm sure the developers will highly appreciate it if those with the means could consider contributing to their projects.

We all know how greedy and shameless YouTube can be, and yet those developers give us incredible products for free. And if you ever saw the entitled requests of some users on their projects' pages whenever YouTube implements some changes, and they have to rush to fix their code, I'm sure you would appreciate them even more. I've personally seen quite a few projects being abandoned because of the sometimes thankless job of being a developer, and I would hate it for any of these to suffer a similar fate.

So if you can and are willing, feel free to join me in contributing to:

For China, I would also add the social credit score which relies a lot on facial recognition...a real nightmare

I honestly can't understand why in a world of open source alternatives, one would be OK with an option that shows you ads in exchange for spying on you

That just makes no sense. Next you'll tell me that onions have no business in making my Tor experience more anonymous either?

Since this weekly discussion theme is about Puerto Rico (and I didn't know much about it lol) here's an early chronological summary provided by the Center for Puerto Rican Studies. I'd strongly recommend having a look at their website too because they have a lot of additional resources
