I’m not about to train myself to feel good about other people suffering, even evil people. I’d rather figure out how to make them irrelevant and dismantle the systems that produce them. We live in a world molded by trauma, inflicting trauma on abusers doesn’t change them, its just more of the same old thing.

I don’t feel bad, I just don’t see the point in celebrating misfortune.

idk how productive I’m going to be atm, but I’d be down

I don’t feel great about laughing at the misfortune of others, but its pretty ironic that this family preferred to throw their own children into the literal gutter rather than surrender their property and privilege to the people.

that’s what we call “t h e F e d i v e r s e” though it could be cool to build something more specific

calling the police

never in my life.

dot org even smh

If you change everything about a system, is it the same system? even if it has the same name? can you imagine reforming the CIA, like what would a communist CIA even be?

in spanish, you pronounce every letter. la-teen-eh, for the anglophones.

I don’t want to see your friend’s racist comments.

the format kinda looks like toml to me, but why okta has anything to do with content filtering is a mystery to me.

To correctly practice this magick (at least according to the random gnostic books I’ve read), you can never finish during sex either.

no point in pretending there’s any actual potential for progress from a center-right liberal party that regularly collaborates with the far right. pretending like they can be fixed is delusional. what makes you think this pressure tactic can work? what makes you think that DNC will not work to turn left candidates into collaborators? i hardly think that political parties are “the answer”, but limiting ourselves to only organizing within the liberal establishment is silly.

the states that are predominantly controlled by the DNC definitely do. i know they don’t want to though, these places all have a bunch of laws in place that can be more forcefully enforced now.

we aren’t going to get anywhere bargaining with capitalists. i’m aware of the methods that they use to suppress alternative parties, but at this point we just have to figure out how to defeat them in a way that opens the door to move the overton window left. things have been moving right for a while, no point in pretending there’s any actual potential for progress from a center-right liberal party that regularly collaborates with the far right.

We’ve decided to try organizing the mesh project using briar. Here’s my address: briar://adkjcwpltwvnqsjyn3shg3qeytrxxerlsmgl6pk2uw5o3tm3rxuhi

DM me ur ID so I can add u back and then I’ll invite you to the forum.

they could decriminalize homelessness right now.

Make sure you’ve actually changed and aren’t embracing communism rhetorically. No matter how wealthy I could possibly become, I’ve seen how the sausage is made. I can’t not see the horror and exploitation endemic to every aspect of society. I always want to learn and uncover more. Money has limited utility in resisting the capitalist order so I’m not really chasing it, but I do have to survive because I know I’ll get eaten up if I lag for too long.

IMO its good that you’re worried at this stage, you might be a little less liberal than you think.

yeah the CCP , which honestly if the (Gay) California Communist Party was real we’d all be a lot happier.

I’m currently chatting with some folks in a discord server, but idk if I’m able to invite others. I’m planning to spin up a lemmy instance to facilitate more project discussion. Pretty informal at this stage, but our current draft configs are mirrored here and I have some of my other projects on there as well.

I originally wanted to have a cute little cluster of fossil repos, but the forum is text only and that’s pretty limiting.

I’ve had a couple of false starts, but I’ve been getting more into community mesh stuff recently. I think the tech is really interesting by itself and I have some ideas for mobile adhoc mesh protocols, but finding people to build something with is hard.

If you don’t have the self confidence to be emasculated for fun, you might need to go to an Alpha training camp. They’re pretty affordable too, only like 20k. Then you can come back and love her like a real man.
