OH! i misinterpreted your thread starter. i thought… never mind what i thought. nevermind 🤣

yes.

this is something that makes me wish more casual document writers would migrate away from MS office

i’d be interested to learn about this

it’s because here in america prison is just the unconstitutional poorhouse wearing a different hat. rich people don’t go to the poorhouse. they’re rich, you see. not poor. corporations, therefor, cannot go

it’s getting hard to differentiate his ideas that are intentionally scams and his ideas that are just ketamine fueled insanity

fascists are also opportunistic backbiting bitches always looking for the moment to turn on eachother

trump will say anything. he doesn’t support mamdani, at least not in action. but trump wants to be popular and for people to like him, so he will attach himself to anything successful. he loved the new england patriots until the kansas city chiefs became the dynasty to beat. suddenly he was talking about patrick mahomes constantly.

the criticism for that meeting should purely go on mamdani allowing his brand to be attached to a fascist. but that gets into that electoralism will never save us because politicians who play political games to curry favor are inherently compromised. however, the value of electoralism is that it can help us put people who will allow us to organize on the margins in office as we grow our movement

i think the incompetence comes into play from knowing the risk but proceeding for the memes. and like. look. respect to doing luthery as a form of stunt work. but all amateur stuntwork is ultimately a form of incompetence. it’s cool, and respectworthy. but it’s also not… the competent thing to do to see a magnet break a slat, realize it can break your finger, and then press on to do it.

“XMPP is too hard” i hear all the time. i don’t get it at all. it’s no harder than matrix and it’s much lighter to host

you name a way to divide a people in a harmful way, they’re doing it

• racism
• Islamophobia
• homophobia
• sexism
• transphobia
• ablism
• shit you ain’t never even thought of hating on

they’re hating on it

i beg of everyone to keep an open mind and to try to remember that while this might seem like racist bullshit upon first glance, that upon further inspection you will find that the reasons for these things are also racist bullshit

the key is, from microsoft’s perspective, you don’t own your computer

@[email protected] is saying they_don’t_ clearly identify as cops when showing up to eat

Tolkein’s idyllic structure for a society, the shire, is frequently analyzed through a lens of “is this anarchism?” and it’s not all that uncommon to conclude “yes”

all these fuckers read Tolkien and adopted the imagery of the villains. none of them realize that the message is that all the top level people are addicted to power. the people who actually get shit done, the hobbits, they are tempted by power because it’s tempting, but ultimately value singing songs, making tea, and eating potatoes too much to want to possess the ultimate power in the universe. almost everyone who comes into contact with the one ring wants to possess it forever. Bilbo’s first desire for it is to use it to help him escape a dangerous situation. Frodo is indifferent to it at first. Sam immediately hates it, feels guilt for letting Frodo carry it alone, and commits himself to destroying it.

You’re not supposed to read Tolkien and implement fascism. you’re supposed to read Tolkien and learn to value pacifism

it’s all been psychos since it was founded in 2002. it has gotten worse though now that all pretense that they do anything worthwhile or useful has been eroded

don’t think of MAGA/Trumpism as a political movement. it’s a death cult

that will never be on the ballot. the active socialist position is to vote for the least worst candidate with a chance of winning and organize on the margins to build the strength for a robust insurgency movement that can break the system and make a new one. organizing under hyperfascism is much more difficult than under neoliberal fascism. it’s why big businesses switch to supporting overt fascism in times of decay. yes, the calculus is a little different if you’re in a winner take all location with a heavy majority like maryland, illinois, or idaho. in those locations, go ahead, vote 3rd party to send a message that america isn’t homogenous or a binary. or spend your day organizing on the margins. but you have to understand that the most votes a third party candidate ever mustered was 18%, and that candidate was a right wing libertarian with some very concerning views on race.

election day is all about finding a way to make the other 364 days of resistance continue to be possible. they’ve become much more difficult under the republican controlled apparatus

then help onboard people to the fediverse
