Thanks! I thought something catastrophic had happened during worldpride.

The most complete internalization of Capitalist Realism imaginable. Literally believing every action of capital is perfect and deliberate.

Disengaging when there is no benefit to escalating is not collaboration.

For context, receiving these bodies creates a war widow obligation roughly equal to 10% of the UAF budget. Most of these corpses were soldiers sent on the disastrous Kursk PR offensive.

What does that actually mean? It always seemed like some inscrutable france-cool bullshit to me.

What happened?

I've been playing a lot of picross. 15 x 15 puzzles are trivial now, but 20 x 20 can be a slog. Waiting for the qualitative jump in my playing soon.

 

@Skavau@lemm.ee This is a Dipshit Mocking community, and thus I post Dipshit-related content. You are one of the more easily provoked ones.

Ooh, I don't remember that aspect. Another book I found insightful into the struggle against patriarchy and machismo was 'Lavender and Red: Rainbow Solidarity in Defense of Cuba' by Leslie Feinberg. It covers the struggle for gay and trans rights and particularly the humane, material response to the AIDS crisis and the public mea culpa and apology Fidel made for his earlier naive homophobia.

I love this book! Particular highlights for me were them concretely acting on a material understanding of patriarchy. That is, patriarchy is materially the domestic enslavement of women and a key lever to break that is to socialize domestic labor which is why precious foreign reserves were used to import washing machines even as the mechanization of agriculture was pressing.

Most agrarian revolutions made literacy a core component so they could educate people. It's more than one way to do it, but why not empower comrades to read?

There is nothing objective about that 'objective distribution' why would the output automatically center on good?

 

Not for any real purpose yet but I think it would be a fun project and could help us get used to using secure communications outside of our phones. Does anyone have experience setting one up? Also there was a guide posted somewhere on Lemmy recently that I am having trouble finding if anyone could share.
