the background colour has changed quite dramatically; it's been fixed (at least for the "darkly" themes) and will hopefully be included in the next update

if you're lucky and they're actually that clueless, maybe they'll focus on the socdems instead of your party 🤞

I seem to remember you mentioning the Dutch "socialist" subreddit being full of racist socdems and/or ultras

"sub" as in subreddit?

excellent

merry week to Oppo _{and\ everyone\ else}

yes

I also remember some people on /r/tankiejerk or equivalent saying the visit amounted to harassment

it's visual uniformity/consistency, or monotony depending on your perspective

Yeah, looks good. If you want some nitpicking, you could try changing "Comrades Library" to white (to improve readability at low resolutions), and/or rotating either the red line or the trans flag so they match

test confirmed

I like the second one, but you might want to change the black text on a red background; I think the "trans rights!" would fit better aligned diagonally along the flag, too

looks good to me, although if you're going to use colours in the flag, you could use it elsewhere too (no specific suggestions, just worth mentioning)

is this a real thing or just another "Chinese police stations" story?

at least there are a few Marxist subreddits left, there doesn't seem to be anything like that on lemmy.world and similar instances

You don't believe that sexuality isn't a choice, meaning you believe that it is a choice? It's definitely not. And there's no reason a communist can't be heterosexual; that just means that you haven't been -- or at least aren't aware of ever having been -- attracted to someone of your gender (yet; you can't be sure that it'll never happen or that it hasn't happened without your knowledge)

Mainstream media may not be directly controlled by the government, but it is controlled by the core of the state (the big bourgeoisie), which is not the case for the average gun owner. This is also more or less true for "non-governmental" organizations like lobby groups and think tanks. It ultimately depends on how wide a definition of "state" is used, but including every gun owner would mean that at least 30% of the population are part of the state, and (IMO) such an extremely broad definition doesn't seem very useful

Regardless of the exact definition of "state", we can certainly agree that the majority of USian gun owners are aligned with the interests of the state, whether they know it or not

I still wouldn't classify them as part of the state; they may act in the interest of the state (knowingly or not), but they have no institutional power, even if those who are part of the state may use their institutional power to defend them in some cases. Cuba also has an extremely high level of gun ownership and its gun owners also act in the interest of the Cuban state (which is also in their own interest), but I wouldn't say they're part of it

I don't think any of us would argue that the government (meaning the president, the congress, etc.) is the state; it's just there to hide the fact that the big bourgeoisie is fundamentally in control

I can confirm that I've returned from the evil mirror dimension
