71·12 days agoThis is probably a bit too reductive. Violence is sometimes necessary, but isn’t always the best strategy.
In general, the left should take an approach of nonviolent, disruptive agitation, combined with a willingness to use violence in self-defense. Arm up, protect each other, but don’t try to instigate a shooting war.
Reminds me of the Alt Right Playbook episode “You Go High, We Go Low”.
Those of you feeling disillusioned with democracy and its tendency to vote itself into autocracy might want to look into anarchism. I’m fond of mutualism in particular.
5·20 days agoSome anime meme communities:
Yes, I block lemmy.ml communities when I notice them, just because I don’t want to accidentally contribute anything to that instance. Some of the users are okay, but the admins are not.
Yeah, that’s fair.
I’d been wondering if we had a community like this. Joined.
You might want to consider limiting cryptocurrency-related posts in some way, so that the community doesn’t end up taken over by them in the future. The profit motive makes things weird there. Blockchains are a pretty inefficient, brute-force solution to decentralization too. I’m pro-Bitcoin, but I actively avoid any other project that involves a blockchain. I know there’s a lot of others that feel the same way.
Politics, activism, and social commentary, maybe? Could be a drama magnet, but it does seem to be a sizable chunk of the threadiverse.
Oh hey, I guess I made this one active. I’ll be posting there more in the future, since some of my anime_irl posts really belong there instead.

71·3 months agothe Sub is supposed to be the one that’s actually in control
This is a myth, presumably meant to be reassuring to subs that are new to BDSM, at the expense of risk awareness. In principle the sub is no more “in control” than the dom is, and in practice they are often significantly less so.
7·3 months agoArend also highlighted the former Soviet Union’s perceived “strength” to “stand up against Western pressures” and its ability to shield their family from ideologies they found objectionable.
“Other countries are under the Western influence and wouldn’t be able to stand up against it,” he claimed.
“Western chauvinist” to “eastern chauvinist” speed run any%
8·4 months agoThere is a “Knife Rights” organization that works to overturn these laws. From what I hear, they tend to be pretty successful, since there isn’t a ton of attention on the issue and there isn’t much in the way of entrenched opposition the way there is on the guns issue.
It smells like Fed in here. ಠ_ಠ
Anarchists have a significant history of using “Propaganda of the Deed” and accomplishing fuck all with it. No shortage of examples among the history of the broader left, too. So yeah, I’m gonna have to call BS on this.
Violence is a tool, and there’s a time and place for it. Don’t be an idiot adventurist about it though.
