I don’t understand what you mean.

Killing someone because of their nationally, race, or job, is wrong.

One of these things is not like the others.

What about this, instead we just take that 1.5 mill a year and put it towards things that actual solve problems, rather than making sure we have the best and brights super soldiers doing traffic stops and taking notes on your break in.

Electoralism in this context means the idea that elections are the solutions to the political issues of our time, that the primary focus of energy from the left should be in winning elections so the elected officials can do as they were selected to do and solve societal ills.

Many Marxists and other leftists ideologies disagree and feel that the four options you’ve given show that electoralism is a trap for the political energy to change.

Humans always reproduced to the absolute limit

My understanding is that this is not true. The big factor seems to be infant mortality, as that drops so does the average number of children per breeding pair.

That’s a valid concern, and it seems much of the function of the fediverse only exists because it’s not worth treating it too maliciously. I guess the question how could one combat that?

Running on the status quo of a dying empire they lost to a populist lying about ousting corruption and forcing change. This story is a lot older than identity politics.

I can’t wait for more ‘quests’ and notifications about how I’m failing all of them 🫠

Fair enough, yeah I might still dabble in trying it out if I find the time. I just hate adds and apps to a pathological degree, so if discord gets too gross I wanna know how hard it would be to jump ship lol. Thanks for the insights!

My main experience with it was setting up a little space on the matrix.org server. We could in theory venture out into the broader server, but never really bothered. So it definitely wasn’t exactly discord, but worked well for our needs of having a couple rooms and the option to hop into a persistent video/voice room with jitsi.

I’ve never touched the server side, but I am a little curious, especially with the QR account creation someone else mentioned. Not needing to walk folks through logging into another service, and instead just having it be a webpage they visit that stays working would be rad. How did you find running the server?

Yeah I can see what you mean. Even if it is just a sectioned off bit of the glob of discord servers, a discord instance does feel like an island in a way that a matrix space does not. Last I remember using them it was still a little messy in ways that felt strange too. The real struggle is having folks to check them out with considering many of my friend group already had to be talked into trying discord lol.

Isn’t replicating this the goal of spaces? How are those doing on matrix?

The thing about pissing your pants is that those cleaner will think you shouldn’t piss yourself, and those dirtier will think you should shit yourself.

The point is that it’s a class war. It always has been. It’s not about “socialism vs capitalism”…

I really think you should maybe watch some youtube essays on Marxism and what it means, I think you might like the things you learn from it.

Amazing! (commenting so there aren’t 88 comments 😤)

You clearly resort to hyperbole because you know how damning their speed is.

Yes, they should have taken less than two and a half years to indite Trump for seditious acts.

After waiting a year to open the investigations, and another year to establish a special counsel, then waiting until August of the next year, 2023 to indite him. Because they took so long he was elected before trial. They didn’t charge him with sedition, they didn’t stop him from campaigning, and they dismissed the case because “The (Justice) Department’s position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,”

Damn, shucks, darn it, if only they had gotten lucky or maybe started a bit sooner they could have gotten to trial before their 4 years were up, but shucks guess we just have to dismiss this case about someone trying to overthrow our fucking government.

Why didn’t Biden appoint a DOJ head that would try him for treason? This was in their power, they didn’t need more votes, they saw what happened Jan 6, why didn’t they do what needed to be done?

That’s fair, I know there is like communities or something, but they seem a bit janky. It’s definitely not “there”, but it’s better than some of it’s reputation suggests.

Why didn’t Trump get put in prison after Jan 6? Democrats had the power to do it, why didn’t they?
