be ye shill or bootlicker, may thou be cast at great speed into our Goddess and saviour Sol

I remember Andrewism’s take on Luddites dispelling a lot of common misconceptions (and results of propaganda, iirc) on the topic

L+Ratio+“I know what I’m saying makes you uncomfortable and wields power over you, and you should let me wield that power over you”

nailed it lmao

I’m gonna suggest, as someone who feels a bit ahead of the curve, very unhappy she was duly a “paranoiac” over the last 6 years … that simple things like meditation and congregating w. intentional community at regular intervals, have been studied and proven to elongate lifespan and reduce stress-related health risk factors. That plus 8-9h sleep are things too many of us sacrifice.

I totally follow that your criticism of what’s published is about it’s lack of adherance to scientific rigor…and what I’m suggesting is this Yes, AND: Sieze the opportunity to encourage those who arent welcome or inclined to be church going, to have secular, extracurricular gatherings with regularity. It is a rare opportunity to talk about sleep debt without being preachy because that is a more tangible offering tham the publication in question.

N n nope. Doomerism will not due. The masses without a voice do not deserve to be flushed away just for the sake of being written off along with the outsized vocal minority of status quo warrior right wing authoritarians (and liberal sympathizers of such)

As to an answers beyond simply getting-armed-and-fostering-healthy-gun-culture-and-education-among-us:

“Practicing mutual aid is the surest means for giving each other and to all the greatest safety, the best guarantee of existence and progress, bodily, intellectually and morally.”

That’s Kropotkin

And then Modern Libs even observe, more verbosely:

“The structures of our state economies are going to matter in terms of protecting democracies, and by that I mean if you look at economies that were based in the kind of small producer economies like New England was vs states like the South and the American West that were always built on the idea of very high capital using extractive methods to get resources out of the land either cotton or mining or oil or water or agri business, those economies always depend on a few people with a lot of money, and then a whole bunch of people who are poor and doing the work for those Rich guys – and that I’m not sure is compatible in terms of governance without addressing the reality that you know if people have more of a foothold in their own communities, they are then more likely to support the kinds of legislation that Community [Education, Healthcare, …] and that may be the future of democracy, if not a national democracy”

If a Conservative wants me dead, they’re going to have to work and sweat for it. I’m not doing the heavy lifting for them (A Quote I agree with)

Our resulting interactions may seem chaotic and illegible to authority, but it is through that seeming chaos that vastly complex, horizontal, and resilient practices of learning, cooperation, and reciprocity have historically arisen.

MASKING REALLY HELPS; Covid, RSV, Flu is a greater threat to marginalized communities. Can’t do organizing without prioritizing precautions.

Show up for your neighbors. The rest will come.

It’s Gock-o-clock

One more post for this thread and then protecting my energy. Topic of great passion, interest and survival for me.

You are not an asshole for protecting your energy from abusive behavior.

The following must not be confused with abusive/asshole behavior:

Social Ostracization and Bannishment should be a last resort only.

We can do better with communal moderation and conflict resolution.

I reccomend the youtube channel AnRel to address some of the greater nuances

Also, this playlist is something i return to every so often: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaOxDnLZqNcmxxkuxTVxYnhrYEOeoTRjP

neurotypical feels like a slur

Genuinely, as someone who’s been on both the moderating and recieving end of communal moderation as a traumatized trans and disabled person, this topic is an iceberg. Social osratcization and bannishment shouldnt be weilded heavy handedly.

If you feel so oppressed, be glad that people empathize with you for your congruence with mental state, brain chemisty and so much more that we barely even have words much less proper understanding at large for, which is all lumped in to “neurodivergent”, and that your every choice is not medicalized and psychoanalyzed for being so bold as to be out about it.

Im over the respectability politics ☮️

Seems like some users thought this thread was a free pass to question neurospicy folks legitimacy regardless of assholeishness. Cool lemmy.world, cool /s

Nice try but again just because you dont like it, doesnt mean your censorship will result in anything other than silencing marginalized people’s perspectives, while allowing the status quo to go unchecked. Everything’s political.

Attached image addresses noone specifically, but rather that dynamic and faux-enlightenment.

Two genders: Men and Political

Two races: White and political

Two orientations: Straight and political

Sorry but if you sweep it under the rug then your moderation is derelict of it’s duty / irresponsible or indeed potentially lethal.

Literally a case of “Weird flex, but ok”

Haha but also yes still cop-in-head behaviour

How does this apply to a usb-c-to-headphone-port adapter, if at all? If someone’s using one to regain access to a 3.5mm audio jack, are any risks posed?

This reminds me of a neat history lesson:

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-the-tragedy-at-buffalo

History doesnt repeat, but it certainly rhymes.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”

It wasnt Czolgosz or Mangione that sat at the reigns of a murder machine sanctioned by baron-owned-state monopoly of violence.

Goldman, for her part, had such a big heart for those driven to desperate acts.

Throughout her detention and after her release, Goldman steadfastly refused to condemn Czolgosz’s actions, standing virtually alone in doing so. Friends and supporters—including Berkman—urged her to quit his cause. But Goldman defended Czolgosz as a “supersensitive being” and chastised other anarchists for abandoning him.[75] She was vilified in the press as the “high priestess of anarchy”,[76] while many newspapers declared the anarchist movement responsible for the murder.[77] In the wake of these events, socialism gained support over anarchism among US radicals. McKinley’s successor, Theodore Roosevelt, declared his intent to crack down “not only against anarchists, but against all active and passive sympathizers with anarchists”.[78]

Berkman wasnt shit. Emma was a real one

Nah, but your urge to police it is interesting

Damn. You’re annoying

I asked them if they wanted to hear a funny joke.

Then i spoilered “go fund yourself”

I did not say fund.

Ig some people found that funny, and a mod didnt.

I dont find the person I told to fund themself, to be here in good faith.

Have a nice day!!
