Bit Shifter @bit.shifter.net · 05/08/2025Bootlicking flag-wavers for authoritarianism want to foster a fundamentally inhumane world. Why? Because they eagerly capitulate to largely made-up fears, and then seek to sublimate their abject cowardice into "action" in the form of bringing harm to others. It's pathetic. 1355
Bit Shifter @bit.shifter.net · 01/08/2025Finally took all my music down from Spotify, or at least all of it that I directly control.
