Underground bunkers are a prepper fantasy held by people with masculinity issues. They're completely useless without supply chains and communities to support them.
What gets people through hardtimes isn't individualist isolationism. It is collective support, community building and cooperation. The pooling together of labour within groups in order to perform tasks more efficiently overall for the collective benefit.
Completely disagree. Have seen it work plenty of times and will absolutely continue doing it. Shame is a powerful motivator and you're simply wrong.
In here the most radical leftist parties are leninists so all they do is sit on their asses writing articles on websites that look from the 90s about how we should support ISIS in their anti-imperialist struggle. I focus on improving and sustaining my own community.
This is bollocks mate and just tells me you literally do not participate by highlighting that you have absolutely no clue what anyone is doing. You're mad at me for chastising you because you feel that it applies to you.
Go and join an org and stop making excuses. Start with a union.
Maybe maybe. Parts of Lemmy can be vastly different to other parts even moreso than on reddit due to the siloing and I could just be a little jaded from extensive battles with the anti-communists chasing me around recently.
Meta has already been hit with antitrust by the EU. Even if they later get around the fact they're breaking GDPR by datasharing all the instagram accounts (which is where the inflated number of users comes from) they can not get around the Digital Markets Act coming into effect next year which carries a fine of 10% of all global revenue for actions like this.
It's not a strawman. As the two are analogs, which the previous article points out.
You’ve made it clear from your name that you fetishize Lenin - A man who massacred more than 8 million people. You’re sick in the head, but you’re too stupid to realize it.
That is not what the quote says at all, it simply discusses the origin of the phrase, not about whether Ukrainians are nazis. Why is reading comprehension so hard? Support whatever you want but you should rethink normalising fascist slogans out of ignorance.
As for my name, I've made it quite clear russia are not communists and that I do not support them at all many times. Get a grip.
Are you ok with the Germans normalising Zieg Heil again?
Is it crazy if we've permanently shut down 3 factories and an office? It's been working and will continue until every single Israeli weapons factory in Britain is gone.
He's a bigger warmonger, a bigger strikebreaker, doesn't want universal free at point of service healthcare, starts more wars, and keeps more children in cages. Although with our new prison boat they're certainly trying to catch up.
I'm fairly confident Biden would be fine if I was shot for climbing on a weapons factory roof and smashing the building up, that or guantanamo'd. We do it on the regular and far from getting shot we don't even get prosecuted. Been doing it to Elbit factories that make weapons for Israel for over a year and a half now without a single prosecution.
I think a fairly good litmus test for "who is further right" is to check which one of them would disappear me to a blacksite for being an effective leftist, and that isn't the tories I'm afraid mate. America has marched incredibly far right. It has no left, not electorally anyway, local wins excluded.
With that said, you do seem like a Nick Clegg kinda person. He runs meta as Zuckerberg's equal these days lmao. Lib dems.
and wavering battle lines do not an offensive make. Can’t hold territory if you can’t resupply.
Yeah that's fair. But what's happening is the biggest movement we've seen in months, and the numbers flying around (build has been since february) are fine. Like I've said elsewhere though I also think it's possible this offensive will get bogged down in cluster bombs. We shall see.
At least we're not in the "you're talking bullshit" headspace now. You at least understand I'm not just making shit up.
Mate at some point or another you do need to chastise people for claiming they want change, even posting on the internet about all the change they want to see, "remvolutionnnnn!" they shout, and then they do absolutely fucking nothing about it.
Every now and then a kick up the arse helps. I'm not "trying to reach out" to most of these people, I already know that they're ideologically where they need to be, they already believe that capitalism will not save the planet, they already believe that every day is a step closer to mass famines and societal collapse, they trust the scientists. They want change. What they're not doing is getting off their arse and going to people that actually want to do something about it. They inactive, they're hoping something magical will happen with the existing capitalist political ruling class who have brought us to this cliff edge and that they'll magically stop us marching right off it. They don't even believe that they will stop the march off the cliff but something deep deep deep down is still making them hope and pray for the yesterday when they could just stay at home and be politically inactive, where politics was a thing that happened on the news and didn't impact them too much.
Well that shit has changed and they need a boot up the arse to realise that. I don't need to reach out to them because they already fucking agree. All we need is for all of them to get off their arse and actually do something.
So yeah I'm fine with how I've framed it. If you think I'm "reaching out" to you you're probably still calling yourself a liberal, you're not the target.
