i make no distinction between facist and facist-enablers. nevertheless, lemmy convinced me to find someone to vote swap with and i did in nevada.

the american people chose facism; so go ask them.

so the drive isn't mounted when the container starts; but you execute it after it started and then the drive is mounted?

american culture is such that polite conversations do not permit the topics of religion, sex and politics to be discussed. as a result: evangelicals dominate our political trajectory, abortion is now illegal again; and people didn't know that biden dropped out.

there are also different levels of ignorance when it comes to each topic and it sounds like you've encountered one that's at a slightly deeper level than that of your standard american voter.

that implies that you're not using the binary anymore since you're in a container; is it using an overlay fs?

“May I have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

it's a variation of the serenity prayer and it's helped me immensely for the last 40ish years

do you have sudo access and are there any rules in /etc/sudo* that match your username or any of your groups? which distribution?

harris' words said that she was trying to help, but her actions say otherwise; so it's the same result either way.

But they spent the last eight years blaming their losses on anyone but themselves, so I wouldn’t assume they’ll start looking in the mirror now.

don't expect it: they've been doing stupid shit like this since 1984 (at the least) when they could have used the thousands of deaths at reagan's hands against him; but decided not to go too "political" with that human sleeping pill named mondale and the apologist named ferraro and then again in 2004 with the human ent named kerry.

same here and living through multiple repeat episodes since 1984 have that taught me that the despair will turn into depression if i don't take action.

i hope it works out for you.

i've also been banned for sharing controversial opinions despite being as respectful as possible and i think that's to be expected if you try to share dissenting perspectives in instances that are unfriendly to it in the tribal environment that defines all social media today.

american politics has morphed into intense tribalism as evidenced by successful efforts like republicans labeling their old guard as rino's in their rightward shift and democrats demonizing their leftists as tankies in their own similar rightward shift; both of these are one of many examples that all serve to drown out all rational discourse and have led us to our current situation in both the election and the lemmyverse.

i've had to switch social media platforms since before it was called social media and doing it so many times over the decades has taught me the hard way not to become so entrenched in any of them that it becomes "painful to leave"; doing so turns that punishment into a reflection of the punisher's character.

there's little point in trying to be part of a close minded fold if you don't naturally fit in; no matter how much of an overwhelming majority it is; and trying to do so will only help make their punishment worse for you if you can't make it work on the short leash that they will put on you.

you have alternatives on the lemmyverse and they're self sustaining due to that overwhelming majority's actions. they can work for you if you don't want to be on a lemmy leash; but only if you can accept that their own tribalism is born out of experiences like the one you're having right now and use your own experiences to try to understand where they're coming from and what they're trying to share. you will fail many times if you do and they will hammer you on it; but they have their own experiences with leashes and punishments like yours and that makes them more likely to know how to turn something like a ban into a chance to learn.
