Trying to read more theory
I love technology, FOSS, learning languages, history, and philosophy
You’re right, wasting limited resources dunking on these ppl would only give them more of the attention they feed off of
Came because of a dumb subreddit I liked when I was a teenager in my Bernie to Marxist transition.
Stayed for the community and comrades. Love yall
Fuck these grifters man. I feel like actual communist orgs should start running more aggressive electoral strats just to shit on these ACP pat soc types in their own domain and ensure no more slander or misinformation is heaped onto the title of communist
Feels like the admin/mod team is trying to tank the site ffs. Just making completely out of touch incoherent decisions behind closed doors, getting mad that people push back on popular communities being closed and just calling us all cis white chauvinists for wanting these comms, and then mass banning people for criticizing them and making jokes of the bans to obfuscate what they’re doing. It’s exhausting, I just want my cozy leftist social space but instead I’m at the whimsy of power tripping internet mods who think they’re reforming our shitposts into the vanguard one top down decision at a time
Edit: it seems like things are settling but good lord some of the admins were on some fuck shit. Such a small disagreement turned into such a huge blow up with weird cross instance admin intrigue and transphobic adjacent shit. I thought I was terminally online…
You can also run a distrobox and install stuff normally from whatever distro’s repos, then export the applications so they’re available like native. Works really seamlessly in my experience
I use fedora-based atomic distros for the reliability and security. Nothing else really runs SELinux out of the box and I care about security so that’s a necessary baseline. I roll my own distro though using BlueBuild, and base it off the SecureBlue image of Silverblue. Just using SecureBlue gets you nearly to what I use though
Wait fr I did not know that history? Do you have more details
I just recently found this group because of their posts in support of the Austin CPUSA chapter that get booted for reading Black Panther literature and opposing israeli speakers at the CPUSA national conference, so I was under the impression they had a decent line on intersectional liberation politics and opposing settler colonialism. But that first article may have colored my reading or maybe I’m just naïve to it because my interpretation of this piece didn’t scream class reductionism
We need our fun little space to talk shit about reactionaries and bond over making fun of them. I like the Dunk Court and the Dunk Pit myself; I always thought the way we used dunking here had more to do with basketball so “the dunk tank” never clicked as the carnival game with its racist baggage in my mind. Mods stop being silly
My state lumps all write ins into one category 😿
I’m in the south too. We’re less prevalent but we’re here. Contact an org
Fucking exhausted. Having to justify my 3rd party vote to an old friend who is a bit of a social liberal democrat guy has taken it out of me. He heard my POV and we're cool, seems like this is a radicalizing moment for him, but it felt like he was taking his electoral frustrations out on me running through the gamut of lib media talking points. Also been working through some intense shit with my partner and not sure where I stand on things rn which has been fucking my mental health up. Also been getting my shit rocked by school but I’m nearly done so just keeping my head down and grinding. Hoping to find a new org soon after I get my life together as my last one was disappointingly tailist and was wasting my time. All in all, the usual
This book is just about ruthlessly manipulating those around you for personal gain. It’s a deeply toxic message and outlook lacking in any form of empathy, just disgusting stuff
Do you really think any of us who voted third party were ever going to vote for a genocidal, anti immigrant, imperialist cop? Third parties didn’t take away votes because those votes were not Harris’ by default; they gave a voice to people who otherwise wouldn’t have voted to express their disapproval of this rigged, exploitative system. And to top all that off, even if every third party voter was somehow mandated to vote for Kamala, she still would have lost.
Fuck yeah that book is amazing. I wish so bad Reed had finished the follow up
Is fencing hard to get into? I don’t want to necessarily compete but that sport looks super fun to me and I want to learn it
Ayyyy I have the same one! Took me months to get it but so worth. Something about this direct material connection to and solidarity with Palestine gives me hope
I love this website so much 😭 solidarity everyone this is such a beautiful thing
Qbittorrent with gluetun routing traffic to Mullvad. Content added to qb via the *arr suite. All downloads go to my ZFS pool on the same server, then I use Jellyfin for viewing media and syncthing to move books to my tablet. All the services are running in docker containers on a fedora server host, which I’ve hardened for security. I don’t expose anything to the network, all access is through tailscale
Right after the hurricane too? They can’t catch a break jfc
