Ooh! Ooh! Who are the three most communist friendly Lemmy instances and do they want to be friends?

Well shit.

The state and corporations will absolutely protect themselves with extreme violence.

Also, it’s nice to see a link to the anarchist library instead of Amazon.

We have both Aldi here but they’re differently named. One is just Aldi, the other is Trader Joe’s.

It’s our super low cost grocer, that has in recent years become more high quality. When I was a kid (80s-90s) it was like “never buy fresh anything there because it’s all crap” but these days it’s all pretty decent quality stuff. Not like farmstand good, but better than Walmart.

That parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It is an ex-parrot!

Start all the businesses with AI prompts! Run all the businesses with AI!

Even accidentally destroying capitalism is a good deed.

Clearly witchcraft. Spells to make the kids gay. Definitely not a decorative method of adding texture.

If a state doesn’t give a crap about its citizens, doesn’t defend its citizens from other states, what’s the point of a state at all?

The Geneva Convention is clearly Hamas.

Teen Vogue really on some shit lately.

Between them and Rolling Stone the last few years…

“Well guys, looks like the grey lady is doing a 1935 again, so Jackson, I’m gonna need you to pivot from writing relationship quizzes to the child labor beat. Ada, Frank, can you handle best makeup tutorials and genocide? Allison, I know you’re on concert reviews, how would you feel about also picking up the investigation on coal coke emissions?”

Fucking good on them, I’m sure that there have always been people doing good work at these publications, but it seems like they’ve had to really expand their purview recently to cover these giant gaps.

I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

The point is, there’s a lot out there, depending on who you’re federating with.

Aka: the harbor freight method. I’m a big proponent of this one.

She should lean harder into supporting the genocide. That’ll help.

You know… The last time there was a guilded age happening, the United States got an uprising of workers that resulted in massive labor reform. And at least one king was… Un… Kinged.

There can be hope. In the meantime, grow vegetables, help strengthen your community, and spread the knowledge that there are better ways to live.

I want to be able to make a joke about this, but I can’t.

I lived in Alabama for years of my adult life. I’m the parent of a trans child. I sought life-saving treatment for my child. They want me in prison.

The people who push this are arguing logically, but they’re lying about their premises and the results always give them away.

Viagra is gender affirming care. Viagra is not “deeply-rooted.” Viagra will never be banned in Alabama.

Viagra is just a proxy in this example for anything that benefits those who see themselves at the top of the societal hierarchy. Men, white men in particular, men in general.

The premise they’re starting from is “there is a natural hierarchy and disturbing it is unnatural and evil.” The “natural hierarchy” in their minds places white men at the top and subjugates everyone else. This is in part why many of them will tolerate gays, until they run out of other people to oppress anyway.

So they say whatever they want “not deeply-rooted… Blah blah blah” it’s meaningless, trying to logic with them is a non starter because they’re never arguing in good faith. They’re lying about their premises because they are socially unacceptable.

Fuck these pieces of shit.

Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?!?!

St-st-st-stochastic terrorism!

Capitalism!

I’m so glad that I don’t live in a socialist country. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to get the medication I need to be a contributing member of society, because of the mismanagement of a greedy few I’m sure.

I’m proud to ration my medication, because it means that I’m doing my part to buy a third boat worth more than my entire house for a legacy c student from Yale!

Capital idea!

“it would be far more efficient to create company scrip to pay them with, it’s not like they need anything we don’t provide right here.”

Yeah that immediately looks way under-extruded to me.

Also that wood stuff (from what I read) clogs terribly.
