fmhy went to hell and I was left with this alt. When I was looking for a place to migrate my main to the mods here impressed me with their reactions to controversy. So now this is my main and I no longer have an alt.

You wish for change but are unwilling to affect that change. While being mad at others that might also want that change but are unwilling to affect the change for you. You are mad at them to the point you have suggested their murder being a good idea. Your impotent rage is less interesting but, this is the hypocrisy I have highlighted in you. See it, don’t see it, makes no difference to me.

There’s a joke in driving that everyone more extreme than you is unwise and everyone less than you is unskilled while forgetting that everyone is still driving in the same direction. I see that same observation in activism and I’m unwilling to kill people driving in the same direction reserving my anger for those actively driving in the wrong direction you do you though.

My apologies, I was under the impressiom you were listening to what I was saying

But here’s the point. We have established someone might not actively pursue social change that they know to be right because it would incur some personal cost, but they wouldn’t hinder it either. I’ve got less issue with them.

Clearly you aren’t, and taking to you is pointless.

If you care about what the police think, the police think Mao’s policies are wrong.

When you talk about social change via the killing of landlords being a good thing, and having knives to their throats, well the police already disagree with that. I took that as a given that you didn’t care. So they could do that now, they don’t gotta wait.

I have most issue with people who actively hinder that social change.

I mean, the people who believe that landlords should be killed could do that now. They don’t gotta wait either.

I’m a little more reserved. I would peg my response to their attitude to change.

If they’re willing to step aside, or even support shelter becoming a human right, then I’ve got bigger problems than them.

If they’re going to cling tooth and nail to a system that sees people freeze and starve for their own enrichment then yeah, fuck 'em.

What? There’s plenty of nonsense in there, for example:

[https://lemm.ee/comment/2394714](also, fuck off landlord. Mao was right.)

From the wiki:

In this vein, Mao insisted that the people themselves, not the public security organs, should become involved in enacting the Land Reform Law and killing the landlords who had oppressed them, in contrast to the Soviet practice of dekulakization.

… yikes. That said, it’s online bickering, there’s always going to be examples of bad behaviour.

As for my own, unasked, opinion on hexbear. I don’t really notice them around. Maybe its because I’m blind to them as I am generally left leaning, I did by contrast notice the EH memes before they were defederated. I’m generally an all/new scroller on Lemmy.

That’s rough buddy… Memes aside that does, indeed, sound rough.

Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people. - Heinrich Heine

Waiting for a call from the National Careers Service for help starting a new life in Consumer Advocacy. 33 years and I finally have an aspiration worth a damn. Currently, I’m working menial jobs as physio therepy to help me recover from a traffic accident some years ago. It allows me to stick headphones in and widen my knowledge base via audio books and headphones (just finished History of Rome, 10 out of 10, have already forgotten the beginning so will go again) while getting an enforced light workout.

But, I’m done with that now… Maybe not done with that, depending on if I can source on the job training or of I have to go back to school. I’m nervous about committing to a full time position; part time plus homemaking is still a bit of an ask for me, but I usually don’t do things till I’m forced to so shrug. Commit and deal with it I guess.

Also, heading out to a tailor to get my trousers fitted for a wedding next week, so that’s nice. But also dealing with landlord and letting agent issues so that’s not nice. All in all, can’t complain.

That was me, I was raised Mormon so I had a lot of common sense that turned out to be unquestioned prejudice. Not a defence of who I was though, I was a prick.

Jesus wept I have a Duke… With bark busters… That are fucking orange!!! I didn’t even think about them, but of course they’re aftermarket!

Looking back the bark busters were ‘meh’ on purchase, I probably figured I could remove them. But after running them as an ‘all weather’ rider, I’m putting them on all future bikes. Not the weirdest setup, I knew a GSXR with mittens.

But, this person most likely rode a KTM, which are primarily white and orange, and KTM riders love buying orange gear to match, lol

Why do you got to call me out like that… I swear all the orange anodised parts were already on the bike when I bought it… The dealer also gave me their branded day glow orange hoodie with the purchase, what am I going to do? Not wear it!!!

I just find it amusing watching a party that spends it time blaming everyone else.

I know right? That’s what the double bind does. “It’s the left’s fault Corbyn lost the election, it’s the left’s fault they won’t vote for Starmer”. At least we can all have a bit of chuckle at them.

Hello exhibit A, thanks for joining us. Would you like to calm down and try again?

I agree though, Corbyn losing votes was Corbyn’s fault. This then means Kier pushing the left not to vote for him is Kier’s fault.

Except Labour supporters want it both ways, it was the left’s fault that Corbyn lost the election, and Starmer not winning the left’s vote is also the left’s fault.

This is called a double bind. I hope that clears things up for you.

don’t think I’m describing what you think I’m describing.

I’m describing the no win situation right leaning Labour supporters try to force left leaning people into.

I.e. 1 When a Labour leader they don’t like loses an election it’s the left’s fault. 2 When a leader they do like loses an election it’s the left’s fault.

I saw the same double bind being envoked in this thread, so I thought I’d highlight it.

The famous Labour double bind:

If a left leaning Labour lose the election, it’s because they don’t appeal to voters. If a right leaning Labour lose the election, it’s because the left didn’t vote for them.

They say that like wanting to be able wear a garment of two different materials is an unreasonable ask.

Anyone willing to drop some learning on a lay person? Is encrypted data less compressable because it lacks the patterns compression relies on?

Or, is it less secure to encrypt first because smart people things? I know enough about cryptography to know I know fuck all about cryptography.
