They exist yes. Go ask the average person on the street the name more than one of them. At best some might know system 76. But can they buy them at the local best buy, apple store, or micro center? Lots of places don’t have a micro center. Micro center at least sells Linux and BSD media. I haven’t been in 8 months. But for the last 30 years they haven’t sold a pre installed system. Much less best buy or apple store.
LOL as someone with significant autoimmune issues this rings to true.
Fair enough. I can do that as well. Just without all the domain baggage. And if it is something that bothers you. It’s something to look at. Something I saw you actually cop to elsewhere on the topic.
Or Marxism and Marxist-leninist.
Say what you will about Democrats. Outside of the elected ones. Most of them don’t have a strong ideology. Just actually wanting things to improve. But I’m sure of how to go about it. And when you approach them like that. Are plenty likely to be sympathetic and allies.
Yes, Unity cannot be enforced. Unity can only coexist with consent. And those that would violate consent to enforce Unity actually despise both.
First I agree that marxists are generally chill it’s the hyphenated ones that typically are not. And because we can agree on that. I think we should be able to agree that they aren’t who is being pictured above in the comic.
Perhaps it was misunderstanding, perhaps it was talking past each other. Either way fair enough.
Others get the same treatment. I can count plenty of times where I’ve been told similar because I post from a .world domain. The difference being, of course correct me if I am wrong. That our administrators don’t tend to be as problematic. It isn’t 2019 anymore. ML isn’t the only server. If you are focused on organization and outreach. Maybe it’s worth considering finding a new instance that would would help in fostering that.
As I syndicist I absolutely gave some thought about joining an instance that better reflected my sensibilities. Though some recent events have definitely made me reconsider on that. I honestly think I’m happy an a much more diverse platform. Even if on the fediverse our diversity is pretty homogenic.
I’m not so focused to keep lists Etc myself. However if you are interested in learning a bit more about it all. There are actually a few communities dedicated to it. Don’t just take anything there as gospel though. Critical thinking is always good to employ. And even then it might just come down to who you decide you want to believe. However massive amounts of hypocritical behavior to me would indicate less trustworthiness.
Meanwhileongrad has a lot of it. Just bear in mind. Where people will stand is often more about what they do than even what they say.
They never said RL. That is a very specific and self aware cop-out. You know as well as we do, the ml servers are known for this for good reason.
Being fully transparent .world has their shit heads too. As do most other servers. However to the best of my knowledge they tend not to be administrators etc. 🤷♂️
Are you saying nutomic is a troll?
Most communist don’t identify as that because of the way leninist and Maoist have soiled it.
Yes, leninists are nominally on the left. Nominally. However throughout history most similar ideologies have consistently exterminated executed and oppressed everyone that ever disagreed with them. Allies or not. Left or right. Which makes them authoritarian and untrustworthy first. Left at their convenience.
As an anarchist, I have no major beef with actual communist. While I will disagree a lot with demsoc or socdems. I have no issue allying with them where we agree. Because even though we disagree, on the things we agree on. I know they are just as committed, and won’t turn on us the moment it’s convenient.
But I’m all too familiar with the type that behave like the comic. I think we all are. Anyone using the term shitlib or blue maga for instance.
Yes it is exactly like how antichrists have co-opted the term Christian. For many if it ever was, it will never be clean again in their lifetime unless there’s some massive Purge. They never were Christians and, will never be christians. But as long as they’re allowed to be the face of Christianity it’s only going to hurt it as a whole. At least more than it already hurts itself.
Upon better reading it absolutely was. Disregard me.
