Super cool!

“Everyone to the left of me cannot be principled, they all must be a hive-mind!!!111!!11!”

Lol. Believing empathy is important doesn’t mean that everyone deserves it. Fascists deserve none.

I know he has some relevancy, but he’s a transphobic and ableist fuck, I don’t think we should be caring much about him or his takes.

Rest in Piss bozo! I hope the bullet is okay.

Always a @na.zijust.works user lol

What the hell. Fuck TERF island. Bunch of eugenist fucks.

Can they force this upon you even if they know you’re ace? I don’t really know how to deal with this, but I would suggest you to at least make sure all your thoughts are passed on as clear as possible to them while being firm enough to show that you’re very much not comfortable with taking birth control medication, probably a good idea to put emphasis on the risks you mentioned.

Also fuck the Hexbear user that said that to you, that’s disgusting. I hope the user got banned. If not, then please report them, I doubt the mods would let it slide.

This rendition is great! Discovered it a few days ago and added it to my August playlist.

I totally get that distrust because I used to think like that too.

The problem with this line of thinking is that, in my case at least, it came from a misunderstanding of how governments/states actually work due to intense propaganda, specially by right winger politicians that keep pushing this type narrative. Different types of states function differently.

All these issues you list are deeply linked with whose class controls the state, it’s not an issue with the state itself.

then the state can silence anyone they disagree with by labeling them as part of the bourgeoisie

That would be extremely hard to do. Being part of the bourgeoisie is a material condition, so unless you tick all the boxes that makes you part of it, there’s no conceivable way to simply label someone that in a socialist society just because. Furthermore, socialist societies have mechanisms of true popular democracy in place so people have a much bigger participation in politics, if such a problem would arise, people could do something about it, which goes in complete contrast to what happens in capitalist countries like the USA where, like you mentioned, you can simply be labeled an antisemite for protesting against the genocidal entity of Israel, can then be beat by the police for protesting the genocide and even sent to prison.

The thing here is that we need to look at how this is happening in real life right now. Are socialist states (Cuba, China, Laos, Vietnam, DPRK) doing that? As far as I know, no. Are capitalist ones doing that? Yes. So that in itself already suggests something is different in these states.

In fact, the reason why in the west you get labeled antisemitic for protesting against the genocide is directly linked with the bourgeoisie since it is in their interest that Israel continue existing. Biden himself admitted back in 1986 that the existence of Israel furthers US’s interests in the region. So showing solidarity with Palestine goes directly against the US’s bourgeoisie interests. That’s why you’re attacked by the state for that.

Thanks comrade, your comforting words mean a lot! I also have anxiety, specially social anxiety so I know what that feels like, it sucks real hard, lol.

Comrade Cowbee with the excellent work as always!

I’m really lacking on theory reading. Hopefully I can get really into it soon now that I’m slowly getting better from my depression!

I recently started using Blorp because I saw one post from this community on my timeline. If you decide to migrate to .world, that would at least mean me and people from the instance I’m on wouldn’t see it anymore.

Outside of a vocal minority, I don’t think .ml is heavily blocked by people. Of course, I don’t have data to back up my claim, but if that’s a real issue I think it should be weighted in properly.

Then you’re lacking class consciousness. Every state serves a class over another. In capitalist societies, it’s the bourgeoisie over the proletariat. In a socialist society it’s the opposite.

You can easily observe this in how basically all of western media is owned by a few companies that dictate what information gets to you.

Furthermore, not everyone deserves freedom of speech. Nazis should have 0 right to that.

Honestly, same! Y’all are great, this little corner of the internet is cool to be a part of!

Hexbear’s mod and admin (a few) running defence on the zionist entity

I only saw some a little bit of the struggle session happening there, but I saw that the proper flag of Isntreal burning was added, so there’s that a least.

The user you’re responding to is a PCO apologist. I would not expect much from them in regards to correct political analysis.

Them saying that there is a far right nationalism movement in Brasil is already completely wrong and shows a lack of understanding of the far right in the country and how they successfully managed to co-opt national symbols while being complete bootlickers of USian imperialism.

You’re right. I just wish there wasn’t so many chuds in g*ming spaces, it feels like there’s not a single gram of empathy on these people.

Thanks comrade. Knowing I have this little safe space on the internet helps a lot.
