I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.
I hate the people who can’t stop licking the boots of Stalin’s corpse, but I also hate the idea that America is always good and moral. The CIA is fucking evil, end of story. If they told me the sky was blue I’d double check before I “suddenly committed suicide with 3 shots in the back of the head”.
Tankies suck shit, but they are (often, not always) right about how America is fundamentally not always correct.
Damn, thank god we killed plastic straws for people with sensitive mouth problems. Thank god Musk can ride his jet 24/7.
I did vote Harris but not because she’ll do reform, because she is the only “not trump” I can vote for in a blue state.
THEY DESERVED IT FOR NOT TRADING ME THEIR SCRAP METAL
Every time, without issue. “My capitalism cool because it’s red!”
And Democrats will do that, right? They’ll remove corporate money and superpacs and the electrical college? Abolish first past the post?
Dude I can’t even get them to acknowledge China isn’t a good guy in every action, don’t bother.
North Korea doesn’t even claim that Juche is socialism anymore.
Oh. Didn’t know that. Jesus.
Edit: oh it’s out of context nevermind.
The voice of Socialism must be as inspiring music to the ears of those in bondage, especially the weak black brethren, doubly enslaved, who are bowed to the earth and groan in despair beneath the burden of the centuries.
For myself, my heart goes to the Negro and I make no apology to any white man for it. In fact, when I see the poor, brutalized, outraged black victim, I feel a burning sense of guilt for his intellectual poverty and moral debasement that makes me blush for the unspeakable crimes committed by my own race.
Same piece it comes from.
Have you tried not repeating the same 5 talking points to anyone who doesn’t want to obey a state even if it’s “the people’s state”?
I have, lemmy is better than most. Better than most is still annoying.

That’s how I do it. Mainly YouTube and the eMails. But some of the bands I most listen to are more indie/obscure, so they play to their fans more than people on the level of Metalica and Taylor Swift.
Vegans are more “consent” than focusing on the consumption.
Vegetarians eat honey and drink milk. Vegans don’t as they don’t feel that animals can consent to the actions being taken place on their body. It’s basically a form of “Can this animal agree to what is taking place?” question. If they can’t even answer a yes or no, then it’s a form of abuse.
Like how we consider that animals can’t consent to sexual acts. It’s wrong because we exert a force to them that they can’t even disagree with. Bestiality is obviously wrong, and I don’t think you’d find a lot of people who would disagree except those who perform it. But it’s weird that we view the killing and eating of them as normalized.
And I am saying this as someone who consumes meat. I fully acknowledge I am complicit, I just don’t defend my actions.
Stallman is often batshit insane, but when it comes to tech he knows what he’s saying.
I would trust a doctor when he says about something about my stomach, I wouldn’t trust them about astrophysics.
I would trust Stallman about how computers can be misused and mistreated, same as Cory Doctorow. I wouldn’t trust both about a small part of history, unless it was obvious or very well cited.

And the UK too.
Thin narrow margin for Harris, several swing states are a new Florida of leaning and ballot counting taking forever. Then right wingers get upset, try to sue as they also then shoot local people for not sieg heiling Trump.
Harris enters office in Jan, makes some statements of how this is horrid, says she’ll do something to help it, but won’t solve the issues that make people consider being fascists who shoot mosques.
From there we’ll see the first 100 days of her term, and if the Senate and House are in favor, we might get some good bills in for a short term solutions to the long term diseases of American necrotic brain damage of conservatism.
For most people, nothing changes. Anti-trans bills are still in place, putting abortion back will be near impossible, and police will still shoot first ask questions second. Maybe some debts are cleared, weed is maybe legalized finally, but the county is the same as it was under Biden.
I’m an anarchist but I support [THE BIGGEST NATION-STATE AND ITS ACTIONS 100% WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT]
It’s like a parody of how hexbear thinks we are.
