  • That's exactly what I assumed but still have no idea what that means.

    They don't want people to have discussions in their posts or something?

  • So what's your issue with Hexbear though? Seems like we address this stuff way better than reddit.

    What's a "reply guy" anyway?

  • I have a relatively easy and nice setup on PopOS currently and I don't want you switch just because I don't want to lose my files and setup.

    Is there a process you recommend to transfer UI, etc. to another distro as an experiment? I know how to transfer my video files, for example, just don't know how or if other programs can transfer easily between distros.

  • Thank you so much, this is really helpful.

    I have a slightly different issue where I have several VeraCrypt vaults on an external that seem corrupted and don't recognize the correct passwords anymore. I'm making note of your advice to work on mine too. Is there anything particularly different you would recommend?

  • Honestly, don't know why their search is so broken but it's a damn near unusable app for that reason. I keep it on my phone for the offline map but it's almost worthless. If anyone can guide both of us on this, we and our privacy would be in your debt.

    I unfortunately mostly use https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.maps/

  • CP 24 hour News. Definitely the worst news, for sure. Haha

    Very unfortunate name but pretty hilarious no one caught it.

  • Human nature at its finest.

  • True, but I think 700 Club is probably the worst. Then again, I'm not that adventurous to experiment with the rest.

    I have a vivid recollection of being a kid and flipping the TV to 700 Club out of boredom and that old crypt keeper fuck (who I hope is now dead) was talking about how Asian martial arts are satanic because they have breathing techniques where they literally take deep breaths and inhale demons to become stronger. 6 year old anarchoilluminati immediately identified this as bullshit.

  • First off, I haven't read Western Marxism so I can't give an informed opinion so have my hot take instead.

    If we were to sum up the main idea of the book, it would be ā€œMarxism is actually anti-colonialism; without anti-colonialism, Marxism loses its revolutionary character.ā€ ... his near-mantra that the Nazi war of extermination against the USSR was actually a colonial war. He repeats this throughout the book, giving the impression that fascism was created not to defend capital against socialism, but rather as a way of rescuing and perpetuating colonialism in a time where it was under threat. This is not the analysis of the communist movement historically.

    I actually completely agree with Losurdo on this.

    Any revolutionary Marxist movement must be decolonial. Not just from an ideological or ethical perspective in regards to the colonized, which also demands it, but it's necessary to decolonize even to dismantle the capitalist structure in the colonizing nations. There's no way you can have a revolutionary party in a colonizing country that maintains its colonies. This is literally what made Ho Chi Minh turn away from other socialist schools in France and turn toward Marxist-Leninism. There are a few things that could be said that Marxism "is" and "without [which] it loses its revolutionary characterā€ and anti-colonialism is one of them, so this is correct. Weird Westoid chauvanist argument.

    And, yes, the Nazi war of extermination against USSR was a colonial war?? They literally openly admitted that they wanted to genocide and colonize those lands. Of course anti-communism was a component but that doesn't preclude the aspect of colonization. Nazis weren't invading USSR to simply only kill the Communists, they were going to kill everyone who wasn't German to then colonize the lands with Germans. That is something that goes a little further than just being anti-Communist. Unfortunately as much as we like to worship USSR and Soviets, it's not like every single person in the entire USSR supported Communism. They could have the stated goal of killing Communist leadership and their supporters and then I'd buy it was purely anti-Communism, but I don't think it was. Further, I don't think fascism only came into existence to defeat socialism. Fascism, in the spirit of CĆ©saire and Fanon, existed for centuries in the colonies. The Global South experienced fascism for hundreds of years before it turned inward in Europe. Fascism developing as it did within the countries with a stunted colonial expansion makes sense, as they were trying to aggressively expand their colonial stakes—including with European lands. It seems incredibly based to me to say that 20th century fascism developed "as a way of rescuing and perpetuating colonialism in a time where it was under threat." This doesn't ignore the history of Europeans as fascistic colonizers pre-1930, which is how people get into that lib trap of curiously wondering "How was Hitler able to brainwash Germans into genocide?" European fucks were genociding and colonizing for so long it's part of their culture, of course they went along with Nazism. Fascism also has a major function of "defending capital" against socialism, decolonization, or any other threat, by its very "rescuing and perpetuating colonialism in a time where it was under threat." These are not necessarily disconnected phenomena. In fact, as the colonized world was being encouraged to decolonize via a Communist ML revolution this actually makes perfect sense. Fascism was protecting capital by defending, expanding, and maintaining colonization.

    What kind of depraved Westoid kkkrakkker wrote this article?

  • I don't know if you'll be there in time for it but the Pride Parade on Straße des 17. Juni is really fun! I went once and had a great time.

  • I don't have any of the knowledge to be able to do it.

    I just hope that others who do, and are interested in the app, are doing their part.
