Well far be it from me to judge anyone at a music festival but I think for many burning man has some bourgeoisie, fake hippie sorta connotations?

I’m more of a “dirty chai latte” kinda gal. Gotta have my espresso!

Sure, focus on half of what I said rather than actually read the whole thing

Actually, yeah. Trade embargos starved those countries and the CIA killed the few real communists who managed to garner any influence, eliminating any real movements towards a marxist ideal

There are innumerable functioning systems of trade without capitalism. My point is capitalism is intrinsically violent and wasteful. War is profit. But there ARE mutualist, communalist, and voluntary approaches to labor as well just to name a few. I also have to point out that the gold standard in the case of USD is effectively maintained by a obscenely expansive worldwide military presence which can’t be a good thing long term and how about that ongoing pandemic we don’t talk about? How long can we as species get away with ignoring the real, big, systemic problems? Capitalism is NOT fixing them, and won’t. Regardless you’re real mistaken, I don’t envision some perfect world, dont accuse me of naivety- I’m a tired, jaded anarchist, not a communist. Anyways I am truly sorry you’ve only ever known assholes… I’m not holding my breath for anything just speaking my mind, and maybe I change someone’s, at least I tried

I’ll never understand statements like these. Capitalism is the #1 reason there’s a profit incentive for any given thing to be horrible.

As a bit of a “young climate activist” myself (certainly more of a jaded, realistic one) , nuclear is still a bad idea. We don’t need a overabundance of electricity, we need more sustainable energy. The last thing we should be doing as environmentalists is giving governments and capitalists more resources to weaponize- ntm more opportunities to critically fuck up our planet. Yes, nuclear energy CAN be produced totally safely. However, from a logistics standpoint this depends on keeping a number of factors in check and one has to account for the materials involved. Storage of nuclear waste is already a problem on planet earth. The U.S has bunkers full of this sludge that will kill anyone who gets close- Not to mention how unethical industry practices are when it comes to mining on a world wide scale!

It’s a unabashed admission from the admin that this site isn’t taken seriously, nor the FOSS mindset that built the infrastructure + most of the userbase. Real disappointing for sure, but especially considering the other decisions that have been made recently on this platform -it’s gonna be a ghost town soon.

Maybe pick your fights elsewhere? What, do you like the idea of you and everyone you know boiling alive? Gettin’ paid by Joe Biden to go to bat with the stupidest sentence ever?This is such a needlessly jaded and edgy comment, why did you even bother posting that? This isn’t 4chan lol

It’s generally used to refer to authoritarian “communists” who refuse to be critical about the ussr or learn from the mistakes of lenin (watering communism down with capitalism and nationalism, basically) -As opposed to say, anarchists, communalists, and mutualists all of which are offshoots, but much more representive of textbook, marxist communism

I have a really, really hard time believing treating both genders equal and empowering accessibility + diversity is best achieved by segration.

Nah, wait, why the hell is there a separate women’s category in fucking chess in the first place? Those in charge of this decision are 100% misogynists AND transphobes. There isn’t a single good reason for this.

Yeah I mean, LW using discord instead of a FOSS option is not a good look…

Beats a racist with a power complex anyday. Although there is a significantly higher overlap than you’d think.

As a trans person, sports are inherently unequal, unfair and some people do have biological advantages. If Micheal Phelps can use his freak lungs and webbed feet in the fucking OLYMPICS why can’t a young trans girl compete at a goddamn h.s meet? People only seem to care when it’s a trans person, but rules can impact cis people as well. Plenty of born cis women have excess testosterone and have even been banned from sporting events in the past, ntm the right’s best answer to this perceived problem? introducing genital inspections. Let’s get real, sports are just fucking games. They shouldn’t be taken any more seriously.

ok yeah, cool but that explains EVERYTHING right there, imo. I’m sure they’re not that bad but you couldn’t pay me to try either of those tbqh- I’ll eat some fruit, thanks
