Some anime meme communities:
Are the liberals going to stop being annoying if anarchists write enough impassioned comments about how voting is in fact NOT infinitesimally good, but is ACTUALLY infinitesimally bad?
Seriously y’all, move on. This doesn’t matter. You definitely have better things to do with your time, even if it’s just idle leisure. Go, be free. Let anarchist voting discourse chain you no more.
At what point will anarchists stop bikeshedding about voting?
Apparently we need Leninists to tell us how to be anarchists. It’s a good thing TheOubliette is here to show us the light and encourage us to enlighten ourselves by reading theory that Marx, Lenin, and other comrades have so generously blessed us with. /s
Funny enough, the highest concentration of actual anarchists I’ve seen is on hexbear
Good joke, comrade.
Hexbear anarchists are sus, all two of them. I won’t say they’re categorically not anarchists, but I’m going to be automatically suspicious of any anarchist that loves hanging out with Leninists.
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.
It’s yet another demonstration of how ineffective electoralism is at stopping fascism. The Democratic Party is centrist (or center-left if we’re being generous). Centrism isn’t really an ideology, just a strategy for winning elections. Principles are just tools to be either used toward that end, or discarded. It does tend to be pretty effective, which is why it’s so prevalent.
Fascists, however, are committed to gaining power *by any means necessary*. While centrists are constrained by rules and norms, fascists have no such limitation. By discarding any moral restraints, fascists become far more effective at the centrist strategy than centrists could ever hope to be. In turn, the centrists are forced to double down on discarding any principles that they may have grown attached to, following the lead of the fascists in an attempt to catch up.
Oh damn. When I first looked into Session I was really excited, until I found out that the anonymity layer was based on an altcoin. Which means that you’re only anonymous as long as line goes up. I didn’t expect it to fail quite this quickly though.
Uh, well…
