If you don’t think the US is fascist at this point, you are too far right even for .world lol

Can we do like, somewhat democratic institution with serious democratic deficits on top of the democratic deficits that are inherent in capitalism? Microdosing some nuance wouldn’t hurt, jank

I feel that

You make a good point. Maybe it’s the tone that put me off. I know too many people who go off on rants that sound similar, who don’t bother actually understanding what’s wrong with the world and as a result have no idea what capitalism even is. But that’s clearly not you

No socialists say that though. That’s just what opponents of socialism pretend socialists say.

Idk spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories lowkey exacerbates the problem. What else should money be but fake? That’s what money is. Your food and water is not being poisoned.

What should we do, reintroduce the gold standard? Awful, impractical and counterproductive. We can hunt for a nondescript evil hooded figure pouring poison in our drinking water but we won’t find them.

Our food is unhealthy because capitalism doesn’t reward production of healthy nutritious foods, it rewards maximizing profits and oligarchs lobby governments and design their own regulation. Banks are allowed to create money but governments refuse to because of neoliberal ideology being pushed by powerful elites. These structures are real, known and we can fight them.

Disguising our problems as unsurmountable and untargetable evils makes us helpless. Identifying our problems specifically gives us actionable goals.

Now the pedophile thing is true tho, so hard agree there lol

In general I think it’s fine if people know what they want and look for it. The weird/problematic thing IMO is that this became something of a trend (although still exaggerated by social media), where it’s not just a small selection of people with very specific preferences. I agree it’s dumb to restrict yourself like that, especially if you just do it because other people do it and not because it’s actually a core requirement for attraction.

Also adolescence extending to 32 makes about as much sense to me as green extending all the way to blue. We don’t need to call people children to recognize they do be silly sometimes

since people are gonna be askin, I believe that’s Tosin Abasi, guitarist of the band Animals as Leaders

speaking Korean and being captured in Ukraine should narrow down the possible nationalities quite a bit

Woah, that’s just not okay to say about him.

The goat fucking is all consensual

Is it possible that you have something called “masquerading” enabled on the firewall zone that the server is in?

I’m not really experienced with VLANs but this seems interesting. Is this only for requests from within the network or also for requests coming from outside the network, i.e. from your phone via cellular data or from a VPS?

the meme does say they hate all usamericans

Having been a man my whole life, I have never struggled to get into any female-dominated hobby group etc. It’s not an issue whatsoever.

Maybe female-dominated friend groups, but those usually contain more men than their male-dominated counterparts.

Some men just reaaaally wanna portray themselves as victims of gender discrimination.

Is it problematic? yes. Is it evil? no.

As long as these gender-exclusive spaces don’t preclude people from participating in wider society, it’s fine. I can live just fine knowing I’m not welcome in womens safe spaces. I think most women are okay with not being invited to the boys weekend.

Just overall this seems like a non-issue. Where I draw the line is things like, men not letting women into certain jobs, or barring them from voting, etc. Basically if you prevent people from participating in society in some way. That has nothing to do with people wanting their own spaces.

That’s wild. I mean that could be cool if it was a feature that instance admins or community mods can enable. But so stupid like this

sure but on this server, socialists, anarchists and other leftists are regularly called libs by some if they say negative things about China or Stalin or whatever. It’s really not used herr to talk about proponents of liberal capitalism anymore. Kinda lost its meaning

there’s hardcoded censorship?

edit: No it’s not it’s optional
