Yeah, I just wonder which sources are “from outside the west” since I’m trying my best to break my echo chamber

Where do you get your news from? Not going to continue to argue, but I’m just curious

I mean, if anything I’m going to become a political descendant in the west if things keep up so I’m by no means trying to be a propaganda machine for the west, if I came off that way I apologize. However, I assumed you meant America specifically though because you mentioned “pedophile billionaires” which would imply that I’m a MAGA Chud that backs up or at least turns a blind eye to pedophilia as they are right now. I imagine most people in the EU, Canada, etc aren’t doing that, but maybe I’m wrong. Anyway, at least we both agree that America bad

You didn’t read the rest of the comment since I conceded that it doesn’t exist for that reason and why I still disagree with the meme

When did I mention invading places? Apparently I’m the embodiment of America itself? God I wish because all I’d have to do is kill myself

Did this meme argue that social credit score doesn’t exist? Or is it whataboutism that argues that you can’t criticize the social credit system (real or not) because America has a credit score system. My point is, you can be against BOTH. That is all I’m saying here

Sure, let’s say it doesn’t since I admittedly haven’t looked into this in painful detail. However, this meme seems to suggest that if it did exist, then it would be perfectly fine on the virtue that credit scores exist in America. Aka, whataboutism.

Since Germany made concentration camps under the third reich that it isn’t that bad when America does it. At least by this logic. Guess it’s impossible to be against two things at once. Though I hope I’m just misinterpreting the point

Democrats are so bad that a president dragging us into a war for little to no reason still has a chance in the midterms at all…

Both are bad???

What did you say? I can’t read

This puts a smile on my face :3

Obvious ragebait is obvious

If you had already purchased in the past before you learned good opsec when it comes to purchases, are you just fucked then?

Reality is often disappointing…

Well, I forgot to mention that I don’t just use these audio files on my Linux machine. I use SyncThingy in order to use the same files on my phone as well (which runs LineageOS). So, unless VLC for Android also has that feature, I would prefer a solution that works regardless of which platform I’m using, thus why I was looking to do re-encoding on Linux. Though admittedly, I was also wondering if the answer was no because I thought I might have finally found a decent idea for a project

Can we at least send out the fascists to die first? Not that I’m advocating we kill them necessarily, but might makes right is a big part of their ideology so like it’s more like practicing what they preach? Kinda??

There’s also Tenacity, which is a fork of Audacity after it was bought by some company iirc. I was actually considering to use it to manually adjust the audio of each file. I didn’t know it had a normalize feature already though, guess it can just do the work for me then

Guess we’re just going to need to remove him ourselves. Going out fighting is better than whatever future we’re going to have at this point, tbh

“Most of the world” was a little hyperbolic admittedly

Where would I go if I migrated away? Most of the world is falling into authoritarianism as the child protection laws and the attempts to effectively ban OpenPGP encryption have proven. Not only that, most of us Americans only know English and a bit of Spanish (if even that).

So, even if I moved away and abandoned my friends and family to face the fascist wolves without me, then I’d only be delaying the inevitable. I’d only encourage you to move away if you’re trans, but otherwise we must hold the line here no matter how tempting it is to move away from it.
