Well if you have to have 28 of them...

I kept wondering if they believed that as well or was purely for the rubes. Like isn't the whole point of guerilla warfare that it's decentralized and somewhat grassroots via pockets of resistance fighters with varying degrees of coordination

Speculation it was deleted in part due to the laptop showing a picture of an IOF member which is blurred in the current one

So tired of "protests are useless" posting. There are good ways to make a critique of a movements but this is not it.

The past decade around the globe protest movements exploded into radical restructuring of various countries' way of governing. This particular protest doesn't seem like it will evolve into that, but no one ever predicted the outcome of past eruptions.

A protest isn't a reliable or advisable way to create a revolution, but they are still great organizing opportunities and solidarity building events.

Please stop with the nihilism

Tofu and lentils are so much cheaper than meat.

Diy'ing things too. If you ever need a new tool or household item or have to fix something you're almost certainly not the first, so searching up DIY _ or How to Fix _ will almost always pull up a handy guide. I've saved thousands at this point

Nah I think the people who constantly make the most barbaric decisions or excuse why they can't revert them are the ones being anti-democratic.

Wouldn't those with the power given to them by the population who then act against what those voters want be the anti-democratic ones?

I struggle to see how potential voters pointing out they never get what they ask for is the reason for any of our problems today.

Hey, uh, I think this thing is broken

Nah, it's working as intended, if you look back here both levers are pressing this button that says 'Barbarism'

I haven't explored LEDs too much, but have an education related to transistors. Because they are diodes, significant overvolting will degrade the diode itself and if it were to happen often enough could damage the junction to the point of no longer working. Fluctuating voltage could damage other parts of the device, but I'd guess overvolting is the bigger danger

So rather than take a side based on previously accurate death counts from this ministry in past Israeli military action, you choose to sit on the sidelines?

Useful idiots like you are how atrocities like this continue on.

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.

Had the misfortune of listening to State Department and White House policy ghouls talk to a class recently. They don't believe moving to less fossil fuels quickly is viable because we'd become "dangerously dependent on Chinese minerals for batteries and solar cells" ignoring the fact that the entire globe is "dangerously dependent" on a liveable climate

With the establishment of a relationship of oppression, violence has already begun. Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. How could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? How could they be the sponsors of something objective whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as oppressed? There would be no oppressed had there been no prior of violence to establish their subjugation.

And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization a simply a question of relative strength.

Get this into your head: if violence were only a thing of the future, if exploitation and oppression never existed on earth, perhaps displays of nonviolence might relieve the conflict. But if the entire regime, even your nonviolent thoughts, is governed by a thousand-year old oppression, your passiveness serves no other purpose but to put you on the side of the oppressors.

I kept trying to read this to the tune of Slow Motion and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for an embarrassingly long time

Same 😭

It's funny how for those who Hexbear is to their left, always use the critique of "they're crazy" then compare us to right wingers without fail.

Absolutely no actual critique and the typical liberal understanding of politics that "there are only two teams, and if you're not on mine then you're on theirs"

Please read a book

You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?

You're such a redditor

It's also kinda hard to have 99% of people dislike China if 18% of the global population lives there and is very satisfied with their government, not even counting anyone in Russia, other parts of Asia and the Pacific, Central and South America, or Africa.

You're really showing whose opinions you actually care about. A bunch of propagandized to the brim, comfortable Americans, Canadians, and Europeans

Time for you to go make friends with the fascists and shitlibs who share your opinions I guess

What an awful analogy that misses any sort of context or nuance about the situation.

That's the problem with liberals like you, that you think things can be understood by imagining it as something superficially similar.

Do you understand what historical materialism is?
