It looks like the internet archive is needed assistance, I just heard about this today and figured lemmy could help spread this message around

    It feels better than doing nothing.
    If you can convince yourself you’re not doing nothing.
    I’ve never been that good a liar.

      Large petitions also serve as a way of getting the word out.

        Yep. Petition gets large enough for media attention, word is spread, MAYBE people get active.

        But Then police beat on them, Trump supporters defend the corporate interests of their supreme lord, it all goes down the shitter anyway.

          So don’t ever get active or protest or do anything?

              Ok…so I don’t get your point then. Your previous comment heavily implied it’s all pointless.

                  You’re still dodging responding directly here but ok.

                    Reply to the “so don’t do anything?” jump straight to nihilism in response to suggestion that one route hasn’t been successful lately in the near military state? Like we’ve never heard of Occupy Wall Street, million women march, Antifa?

                    No I didn’t take it as a serious enough question. It was a judgement question, not a curiosity one. A curious question would have been “if you don’t think that works, what could be done instead?”

                    “But ok.”

      I don’t know.

      I still think there’s at least some value, even if the only thing it accomplishes is getting people to talk about it. Many people have never even heard of The Internet Archive.

      Either way, there isn’t really a reason not to.
